[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2295308, member: 229"] Regardless of how many people in this thread completely misunderstand covenants or how the whole of the bible actually works ([B]Matthew 5:17 [/B]“[COLOR="#FF0000"][B]Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them[/B][/COLOR]") There is very little proof that the founding fathers used the 10 commandments in writing any of the founding documents (outside of don't kill/steal/bear-false-witness - things commonly adopted everywhere) but rather, used the 5 civilized tribes' pre-existing documentation to write much of the founding documents: [url]http://www.senate.gov/reference/resources/pdf/hconres331.pdf[/url] Here's what Ben Franklin had to say: I'm a devout Christian and I say the 10 have no place being at the OK Capitol, because if the majority of Americans someday belong to another religion, I'd rather not have their laws up on display at our government installations. Keep the government out of my religion, and I'll keep my religion out of the government. [/QUOTE]
