Today, I saw a user re-post a YouTube video entitled “Our Country was Founded on Christian Principles.” Let’s talk about that. Where does the Bible discuss or Jesus teach about:
- the government establishing a religion or forbidding the free exercise of one, along with abridging the freedoms of speech, the press, the right to peaceably assemble, and to petition the government?
- a well-regulated militia and the right to bear arms?
- the quartering of soldiers in private homes without their owner’s permission?
- unreasonable searches and seizures without a warrant?
- grand juries, the prevention of “double jeopardy” cases, and the right not to self-incriminate?
- a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury, along with a right to counsel and for one’s accusers to be identified?
- lawsuits to be tried by a jury if the amount specified is over $20?
- forbidding excessive bail, fines, and cruel and unusual punishment?
- enumerated rights?
- what powers are delegated to the states and to the federal government?
