TEXAS: JESUS COMES FIRST! PROPOSES CHANGES THAT WILL EFFECT NATIONS SCHOOLS!
Read Time:2 Minute, 51 Second
What is happening to the separation of church and state concept? Texas, of all places, is going to rewrite school curricula to better reflect their own personal beliefs and prejudices, and as we all know this is one state that has lots of prejudices. Texas, after all, gave us Lee Harvey Oswald, George Bush, and Tom DeLay, just to name a few. Oh, and before I forget, their Jesus Jumping governor, Rick Perry, wants to secede from the union. Now not all Texans are bad but there are just enough nuts to merit concern on the national stage. Read this story from, of all sources, Fox News and let me know what you think:
This week in Texas, the State Board of Education (SBOE) will consider curriculum modifications that could impact millions of students across America. That’s because what Texas ultimately decides has great influence among textbook publishers. The Lone Star state is one of their biggest customers in the world, so publishers craft their books to meet Texas standards. Those books are then sold nationwide. While the Texas SBOE debates whether to include things like Christmas, Paul Revere and the Liberty Bell – some are calling the textbook showdown the newest frontline of the culture war in the U.S.
It’s a battle Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, is watching closely, “Well, if you grab the minds of the young people you grab the minds of the next generation.” Sekulow believes a child’s school board meeting is the most important governmental event a parent can plug into. “Parents don’t check their rights to raise their children at the door to the schoolhouse,” Sekulow cautions. He knows the stakes are high this week in Texas because, “This curriculum, once established, will affect a generation of students – how they think.”
Others are concerned that conservative, religious interests are attempting to stuff Texas textbooks full of their viewpoint. “There is a whole movement to convince Americans that this was founded as a Christian nation, and that’s simply not the case,” says Barry Lynn of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Lynn also worries, as others do, that elected board members – and not educators – are the ones making the final curriculum decisions. “The idea of electing people to make judgments about these topics, which frankly they often know nothing about, is a terrible idea,” Lynn says.
Gilbert T. Sewall, Director of the American Textbook Council, says elected officials are often impacted by what he calls the “squeakiest wheel” – regardless of their ideology. “I think there’s no doubt that identity politics have contributed to the decline of textbook quality over the last 20 years,” Sewall laments. He says groups from nutritionists to gender activists have demanded their way into textbooks, but points to the one as the most prominent, “The most visible groups are the Christian right that wants to use American history textbooks to recapture the soul of the nation.”
Conservatives, like attorney Jonathan Saenz of the Liberty Institute, say they don’t mind being singled out and that it works to their benefit when liberal groups take to the Board of Education to take on subjects like Christmas and the Liberty Bell. According to Saenz, “The louder they shout the more they end up really equipping and informing people that agree with keeping things conservative and traditional.”

Most people, including many so-called Christians believe that Christianity is another religion among many, but that could not be farther from the truth, since Jesus Christ did not die on a cruel cross with the sole purpose of instituting a another religion. Jesus Christ died on a cruel cross to redeem or set man free from the crutches of sin, hell, and death as stated by Jesus in John 8: 35-36, “Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed,” and by adopting them into the family of God, as stated in Titus 3:5, “He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit”
Therefore, Christianity is a way of life. Christianity does not consist in attending church on Sundays and living like the devil from Mondays to Saturdays. Christianity is part of one’s nature as stated by Jesus in John 4, 23-24, “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”
The founding fathers were aware of this fact and spoke accordingly, resulting in much confusion and speculations amongst those outside the Kingdom of God, leading them to conclude the founders were not Christian, but deists.
In 1776, Thomas Paine said in Common Sense, “But where says some is the King of America? I’ll tell you Friend, he reigns above, and doth not make havoc of mankind like the Royal Brute of Britain…let it be brought forth placed on the divine law, the word of God; let a crown be placed thereon, by which the world may know, that so far as we approve of monarchy, that in America THE LAW IS KING.”
Thomas Jefferson Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 18, 1781 said, “And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep forever.”
And James Madison, according to Leonard W. Levy, Treason Against God: A History of the Offense of Blasphemy, New York: Schocken Books, 1981, p. xii. Said, “Whilst we assert for ourselves a freedom to embrace, to profess and observe the Religion which we believe to be of divine origin, we cannot deny equal freedom to those whose minds have not yet yielded to the evidence which has convinced us. If this freedom be abused, it is an offense against God, not against man: To God, therefore, not to man, must an account of it be rendered.”
Ethan Allen was not a United States founding father. Allen is best known as one of the founders of the state of Vermont, and for the capture of Fort Ticonderoga early in the American Revolutionary War.
Ethan Allen said in Reason the Only Oracle of Man, “That Jesus Christ was not a god is evident from his own words, where, speaking on the day of judgement, he says ‘Of that day and hour, knoweth no man, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the son.’ This is giving up all pretension to divinity, acknowledging in the most explicit manner that he did not know all things.”
Ethan Allen misquoted Jesus Christ Just like a typical unbeliever by omitting the phrase “but the Father” in Mark 13:32, “But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.” It is obvious that Allen misquoted Jesus in order to debase him, not realizing that in the process Allen only debased himself.
Wolves in sheep clothing working from within the bowels of Public Education have succeeded in wresting the rights of Americans by withholding historical facts, such as the fact that the Founding Fathers had no intention of having in the Americas any particular Christian Denomination as the head of the State, since that was the main reason why they fled England in the first place. In England the Founders were constantly harassed and persecuted by the Anglican Church whose head is a mere human being, the present reigning monarch, or King George at that time. And that’s the reason why the Founders included in the First Amendment to the US Constitution the restrictive clause, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”
At the same time, they wanted to have the God given freedom of worship by declaring into law “or prohibiting the free exercise thereof” including in all branches of Governments. Since the Founding Fathers were Christians, they also firmly believed that Christianity and government must always be intertwined, as stated by Romans 13.
In 1873, US Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story III on Commentaries on the Constitution said, “The real object of the First Amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance Mohammedanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity, but to exclude all rivalry among Christian sects (denominations) and to prevent any national ecclesiastical patronage of the national government.”
Seventy-four years after Justice Joseph Story III of the US Supreme Court wrote Commentaries on the Constitution, in 1947, the tyrannical Justices of the US Supreme Court enacted a fictitious wall of separation between Church and State upon the fifty states of the Union. Chief Justice Hugo Black who was a former member of the Ku Klux Klan, fooled the spiritless American people together with the so-called Christian Leaders of America by forming an unholy union in order to silence the church of Jesus Christ, and succeeded in erecting a fictitious wall of separation between Church and State, contrary to what the Founding Fathers envisioned, in violation of the U.S. Constitution, and Romans 13.
Jesus said, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? And that’s exactly what Senator Lyndon B. Johnson did in 1954. Johnson introduced in the U.S. Congress a devious amendment to the IRS 501c3 Tax-Exempt Code, and established the United States National Church of Secular Humanism, with the idea of binding, and gagging the Church of Jesus Christ, thus eliminating the significant influence it had up until that time in shaping sound public policy, in affecting legislation, and in addressing issues in opposition to ungodly legislation.
And in 1963, the U.S. Supreme Court by another tyrannical act ruled against the U.S. Constitution and the Founding Fathers wishes and declared the Bible and Prayer Recitation unconstitutional, resulting in their immediate removal from all public schools across America.
After erecting in 1947 a fictional wall of separation between Church and State, and after gagging the church of Jesus Christ in 1954 through the IRS 501c3 Tax-Exempt Code, and after removing the Bible from Public Education in 1963, again in 1973 the tyrannical Justices of the US Supreme Court imposed legalized premeditated murder on demand, or abortion on demand, consequently over 52 million children were slaughtered since 1973, and counting.
And in 1998, U.S. President William J. Clinton signed executive order 13087, which was nothing more than the glorification, and affirmation of homosexuals, lesbians, and transgender into Public Education, and into America’s workforce, and once more as predictable as the sun, the Christian Clergy of America compelled by greed, played out their blind, and dumb act one more time.
The church has been taken out of the political arena in 1954 through the IRS 501c3 Tax-Exempt Code by wolves in sheep clothing, which are not only residing inside the churches of America, but also in Washington DC as well, and contrary to God’s word found in Romans 13.
Romans 13:1-2, “Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves”
Which means that God has established both, the Church, and the Civil Government, therefore the secular ruling authorities such as the U.S. President, the entire U.S Congress, the Justice System, Governors, and Mayors, must all be in submission to Jesus Christ under the authority of the Church or the people, and the Church or the people must be in submission under the headship of Jesus Christ. Thus, according to Romans 13, and the US Constitution, and the will of the Founding Fathers, the church or the people must embody the moral guiding consciousness of the entire Nation.
The Government on the other hand has the authority to enforce all civil laws, Romans 13: 4, “For he is God’s servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God’s servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer”
It is crystal clear, Romans 13 teaches that a wall of Separation between Church and State does not exist, but only inside the minds of deceivers and deceived alike, it is as phony as a three-dollar bill, and one of the biggest hoaxes perpetrated against the church or the people. The First Amendment to the US Constitution was drafted in part, to prohibit the establishment of any particular Christian Denomination from becoming the official national religion of the US, but that does not mean the government should be isolated from the holy, and perfect will of God.
Patrick Henry, Founding Father, and tireless champion of liberty, in a Speech to the House of Burgesses said, “It cannot be emphasized too clearly and too often that this nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.”
The organizational structure or hierarchy of the United States America according to God’s will in Romans 13, the U.S. Constitution, and the will of the Founding Fathers is as follow, at the very top is Jesus Christ, under Christ is the church or the people, and at the bottom is the U. S. Government, which is subservient to the church or the people. Right now deceiving usurpers are misleading the people or the churches of America, in secret partnership with the political tyrants of Washington DC, who are not only lording over the church or the people one perversion after another, but they are also fleecing them as well, through exorbitant taxation.
Daniel Webster, leading American statesman said, “If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, I do not know what is going to become of us as a nation. If truth be not diffused, error will be; If God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain the ascendancy, If the evangelical volume does not reach every hamlet, the pages of a corrupt and licentious literature will; If the power of the Gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth of the land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness will reign without mitigation or end.”
Some Founding Fathers’ quotes that Henry conveniently forgot to include: Thomas Paine ” do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of…Each of those churches accuse the other of unbelief; and for my own part, I disbelieve them all.”
Or how about this from Thomas Jefferson: Thomas Jefferson, third president and author of the Declaration of Independence, said:”I trust that there is not a young man now living in the United States who will not die a Unitarian.” He referred to the Revelation of St. John as “the ravings of a maniac” and wrote:
The Christian priesthood, finding the doctrines of Christ levelled to every understanding and too plain to need explanation, saw, in the mysticisms of Plato, materials with which they might build up an artificial system which might, from its indistinctness, admit everlasting controversy, give employment for their order, and introduce it to profit, power, and pre-eminence. The doctrines which flowed from the lips of Jesus himself are within the comprehension of a child; but thousands of volumes have not yet explained the Platonisms engrafted on them: and for this obvious reason that nonsense can never be explained.”
Or this from James Madison: James Madison, fourth president and father of the Constitution, was not religious in any conventional sense. “Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise.”
“During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What have been its fruits? More or less in all places, pride and indolence in the Clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution.”
Or this: Ethan Allen, whose capture of Fort Ticonderoga while commanding the Green Mountain Boys helped inspire Congress and the country to pursue the War of Independence, said, “That Jesus Christ was not God is evidence from his own words.” In the same book, Allen noted that he was generally “denominated a Deist, the reality of which I never disputed, being conscious that I am no Christian.” When Allen married Fanny Buchanan, he stopped his own wedding ceremony when the judge asked him if he promised “to live with Fanny Buchanan agreeable to the laws of God.” Allen refused to answer until the judge agreed that the God referred to was the God of Nature, and the laws those “written in the great book of nature.”
Ralph Reed did say that Holte. What even makes this worse is that when these nutters start rewriting the curricula it will be reflected in text books that are distributed throughout the country, so it is not just the Lone Star State that will be affected.
Didn’t Ralph Reed say something like: He would rather control school boards than control congress, that’s what the fundamentals are doing.
I would be like home schooling on a factory scale, how are these kids going to get accepted into the world class Texas University System? Unless the fundamentals are going to control higher education too.
LOL LOL 4Dinners…
Now there was an excellent post to read.
The fact I couldn’t give a monkeys arse about Texas – and no, it ain’t always bigger in Texas – is immaterial.
I genuinely enjoyed the post but, as an Englishman, I also genuinely couldn’t give a fuck.
I am now extraordinarily pissed and going to bed.
Nite nite America x

Mrs.Bee I agree completely and I thank you for responding to this post, one I consider the most important of those I have written today. I was getting worried 🙂
Yep, and the creationists are going after global warming now, too. Texas needs to be carved off and given to the Mexican drug lords.
