The U.S. Constitution as Gospel

Remember: law without the gospel is a formula for the demonic.

We see this in the totalitarian states of the 20th century. All law, no gospel. This is a new way of seeing law and gospel. Law and gospel is rightly stated by some theologians as being central to understanding the Bible, yet they are horrible at explaining it. When theologians don't really understand something they make it very complicated; to cover for the fact that they don't understand it. This has been the case with the subject of law and gospel.

Also, remember: the law of God is perfect, yet since the fall fallen man and fallen angels (and demons) have wielded the law against human beings in a perverted form. A twisted, distorted, turned upside-down form.

Also, remember: the law is a tangible thing we live in. It's like a medium we walk in like a fish swims in water. It is all around us. Its centers of gravity from which it emanates are the personal social realm (from immediate family to friends to strangers and their accusing and shaming and finger-wagging to keep you in line); the government (local, state, national, with all the laws and regulations associated); and idolatrous/false religion (idolatry in general to keep you in spiritual chains and away from the truth).

To see why the United States has been under attack (mainly from within) since forever see how our system of government was set up to be not only law, but law and gospel. Shallow readers will instantly say there is no gospel in the Constitution of the United States of America. They don't understand this subject. Fuck them and their degrees. They're useless. What I refer to is the *consent of the governed.* It's an in-your-face doctrine derived direct from the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The shallow, worthless fucks with their seminary degrees and zero understanding will now change their angle of attack and talk about 'unbiblical individualism' and other world-fearing poison they like to vomit up when they're faced with something they don't understand. (I'm listening to AC/DC as I write this hence my attitude...)

The world controlled by Satan has been trying to eliminate the gospel from our system of government from ever since we killed or converted the last demonic Indian to control this ideal real estate from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

The Protestant Reformation doctrine of *the priesthood of all believers* (don't hear about it much because world fearers with seminary degrees hate it) is very similar to the doctrine of the consent of the governed. Both are Gospel of Jesus Christ doctrines.

When demons and fallen angels and their human reprobate minions take over our government the doctrine of the consent of the governed kicks in and we kick ass. If you die in this war you become a martyr.

Didn't mean to frighten you. Go back to your ice cream, if the shoe fits.

Democracy as gospel...

The first thing to get out of the way is the smart set who will knee jerk their wisdom that democracy is actually mob rule and a form of tyranny... Yes, I've read Aristotle too!

OK, moving on...

Democracy is really not well-defined in common political language usage. It could be a bad thing (re Aristotle) or it could be a general leveler of society in a good way, or it could be a spirit of good citizenry, or what have you.

In the way I am using it (a general movement from the form of tyranny where there is a great distance between an aristocracy and 'lower classes' to where that distance is made less so and the benefits of society accrue to all levels as-well-as talent having a chance to emerge from all levels and so on and so forth), again, in the way I'm using the word democracy it is a form of gospel in the political/social realm.

We generally don't see the stark differences between eras of history. When reading history we sort of take an above-it-all perspective and don't really pointedly imagine what life was like for individuals and groups of individuals in the different political systems and eras.

Yet when we do do this democracy (as I'm using the term) becomes a force of change that one can associate with the gospel and with the general improvement of things we associate with the millennial doctrine of the Bible (amillennial as well).

What I'm doing is associating things with law and gospel we don't generally associate with them. Law and gospel is central to our existence. Our lives. Our being. This drama of fall, redemption, glorification we are in the midst of. We have to see it practically and concretely all around us and inside us. Not merely as a doctrine of the Bible that only exists on the page of a book or in a lecture hall.
