Throughout the Bible God gave us the same choice, I am God, he said, there is no other. Take me as I am or be on your own. Since the beginning of time and even now, why do even Christians in their wisdom, why do they say, "This is no choice." Great believers in the Bible always said, "For me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
It took man ages to figure out exactly who and what God is. We are certainly still working on this clarity. Does anyone have God defined as yet? I think not!
Maybe the God in the Constitution is not 100% what each of us say he is, but it is not reasonable to say this God is an idol of our own making. Using this same logic, one could say the same thing about the God of the Bible. All logic must have a premise. The Premise for the Bible is the self evident God. Is the Bible unreasonable in your opinion? The Premise of the Constitution is the same God.
A person may not believe these Gods are one and the same but it is clear that the writers of the Constitution and declaration thought so. For this reason, they left no provisions or authority for any other foundation for our freedoms. Just what would you as a Christian and a UMC minister want to base our governoment on?
