Pledge of Allegiance. What does it matter?

25. June 2011 by PawBill.

  “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

So, what does it matter whether one says the Pledge of Allegiance or not? What does it matter if the Pledge includes “under God” or not? Likewise, what does it matter if one believes in God or not?  What does it matter if someone has sexual relations with a donkey, sheep or goat (Hopefully not, but it does happen.)?  In essence, why does anything matter at all?  As long as a person can do or say anything they want and gratify their own mental and body needs and desires, why should anyone care about someone else’ morality or religion? The last sentence reflects, in my opinion, the present morality and belief of the majority of the present generation of Americans and if not changed, will lead to the downfall of the United States.

As you ponder upon the questions above, think about this.  If the Biblical story of Satan being swept from God’s presence and taking with him one-third of the stars (Satan’s angels) is true (Revelation 12:7-9), and I believe it is, could it be that one-third of mankind are children of Satan’s worldly kingdom and are without conscience or morality? Judging by the realities of the world today, I would say it is true and also that the numbers are rising.  

Can the world become as immoral as mankind was during the time of Noah?  Once again, think about the story of Noah and the ARK. You do not have to believe it is true, but I do.  It is recorded that Noah was a righteous man (Genesis 6:5-10).  He along with his wife and their three sons and daughter-in-laws were the only remnants of mankind to survive the flood.  The immorality of the rest of humanity was more than God could stand so He put them to death. America faces the same dilemma in that their immorality is becoming more and more despicable in the eyes of a Holy God.

The United States of America is the greatest country that has ever existed.  That is my opinion! You may not agree, but that is OK as long as you are not deliberately supporting and participating in America’s destruction and downfall by: accepting or participating in sexual immorality (adultery, homosexuality and other disease promoting acts of the flesh); rejecting America’s Judeo-Christian heritage; agreeing with those who are seeking to declare both The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States as antiquated documents; abandoning the Nation of Israel in Her coming time of “Jacob’s Trouble.” Acts of Godlessness and treasonous beliefs on the part of “enlightened, but deceived” supporters of the coming Antichrist must not go unchallenged.

Unfortunately, today’s America is fast becoming a cesspool of evil and will soon, if we as a Nation have not already done so, progress beyond a point of no return where individual freedom and liberty will be lost.  But apparently, there are many who no longer care about freedom and liberty as given to us in the Constitution of the United States and The Declaration of Independence as long as the government promises to take care of them and someone else pays for their care and support.

So I say this to the remaining two-thirds (Maybe there are that many moral people left who feel it is not the governments job to take care of them, but I suspect the number is much lower.) of America’s people: Wake Up! Stand Up! Remove from power all those who are trying to destroy the foundations that have made America so great. Otherwise, history will record that America was just another Sodom and Gomorrah—a den of sexual perversion and immorality (Genesis 19).

You can begin by accepting the Pledge of Allegiance with the “under God” words included as your commitment of solidarity with other likeminded Americans who are proud of this country and want the United States to continue to be the beacon of hope for the remainder of the world.  You are not required to say the Pledge, see Wikipedia for origin and court challenges, but America must be restored and what better way of reintroducing patriotism than by saying the Pledge of Allegiance.

But remember this, the Trinity of God should be first in your life and not your country; however, God is the creator of all governmental authority, and I would think He would not condemn you for being patriotic and asking for His guidance in your daily prayers for the restoration of the United States of America.

Those are my thoughts for today.  What are yours?
