International Law for Christian Nations

International Law based largely on Christianity?

One of my readers posted a comment that included the following:

“The problem with this is that international law is for Christian nations.  Excerpt from  The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary (verified in Vattel as well):  http://tinypic.com/r/15s7ev5/5

I had no idea of the link between international law and Christianity.  I don’t know that that link is still deemed true today in what passes for “international law”.

But, insofar as I view most of what happens on this earth as evidence of “spiritual warfare,” I’m pleased and excited to see evidence that international law was–and might still be–based on a Christian foundation.

I’m not yet sure how to apply this new insight.  But, if you’ve followed this blog or my radio shows, you might recall that I like to focus on the “man or other animals” definitions of drugs and medical devices.  Insofar as those definitions are subject to a “freedom of religion” challenge, they might also open the door to some challenge in “international law” (provided that “international law” is still founded to some degree on Christianity).

In any case, I’m posting the evidence of the International Law/Christianity “connection” without much commentary simply because I think it’s important and you deserve to see it.  That “connection” is at least consistent with arguments that most of what we see to today is the result of spiritual warfare.

If you have more knowledge on this subject, please let me know.

I recently received the following email:

Hi Alfred,

I was just reading your post on the difference between “unalienable” and “inalienable”. I found it quite interesting.

I was also reading an article about President Obama omitting “Creator” when quoting the Declaration (http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=237349) when I noticed that he repeatedly uses “inalienable”. The omission of the one word and the incorrect usage of the other in numerous instances can only be intentional. He’s very consistent about it. I was curious about your thoughts on this.

Matt

At the time, I responded briefly. However, here’s an expanded version of my reply:

 

The Story Behind the National Anthem

A bit of American history.

A cause for national pride.

And a lesson in the significance of the flag.

This is a good one.  It might make your eyes mist over.

To Hell With Democracy II

My first article on “To Hell With Democracy” should be read as preface to this article.  The original “To Hell” article can be found at:  http://adask.wordpress.com/2010/11/21/to-hell-with-democracy/#more-2807

What follows began as my response to one reader’s comment on the original article.  This response grew to a point where I think it deserves to be published as a second article–To Hell With Democracy part II.  It explains the spiritual principles that distinguish the “republican form of government” mandated by our constitutions from the “democracy” that we currently “enjoy”.

If you’re a Christian and you can find a more powerful video, I’d like to see it.  This video has real impact.

Most TV evangelist impress me as frauds.  I don’t generally believe ‘em.  I automatically distrust ‘em.

But my Bible study group has watched about three hours of videos of  the evangelist Louis Giglio (photo right).  He is a spectacular communicator.  He doesn’t need notes and I’ve never seen him use any teleprompters.  Because I frequently do radio monologues that take up about 50 minutes, I know how extraordinarily difficult it is to make a one-hour, oral presentation without notes or teleprompters.  I know how hard it is to keep your mind focused and to present your knowledge in a logically sequential manner.

This is powerful.  I’ve meant to post this on the blog for over a year.   I’d like to have been in the audience the night of this presentation.
