Any reference to "Jesus Christ" during a prayer at a government meeting is "unconstitutional."

Not according to the Constitution:

Article. VII of the Constitution of the United States of America

Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven {that year signifies only one possible Lord for this Constitution] and of the Independence of the United States of America.

 

That's the opinion of the Jewish defense group the Anti Defamation League which is urging a Florida community to adopt a policy banning sectarian prayers making reference to any specific deities.

Mat 10:33 Whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

"If invocations are done, they have to be, according to (a 1983) Supreme Court decision, such that they do not advance any particular faith or belief," ADL spokesman Andrew Rosenkranz told the Palm Beach Post. "The reason being, you try and make as many people included as possible so that nobody feels that they're being left out of any particular prayer."

The Constitution that the founding fathers wrote has the authority. If not - then it will be a free-for-all....against the will of an over-whelming majority for the will of a select few....who do not have the support of the founding fathers.

Nor do they have the support of the Old Testament [Torah included] and it is on a level that a child can understand. Keep reading:

The New York-based ADL is focusing its attention on Wellington, Fla., where the issue of inclusiveness came up at the suggestion of a councilmember last year.

Local clergy have been permitted to recite prayers at the start of village meetings, and some reportedly mention Jesus Christ by name.

Rosenkranz wrote Mayor Tom Wenham, saying the allowing of Jesus' name "sends a clear message of exclusion to citizens not of that faith."

Presbyterian minister Tim Christenson recently changed his prayers at meetings to remove the name of Jesus, first out of respect for other faiths, and later by request of the mayor. The Post reports Christenson has since reversed his position and will once again utter Christ's name during his invocations.

Despite the objections of the ADL, the Florida-based Liberty Counsel says it would be unconstitutional to have a policy restricting prayers.

"Essentially what they're (the ADL) wanting is for the government to get out a censor pen and determine what's sectarian and what's not," Mathew Staver of Liberty Counsel told the paper. "He's wanting to require them be a theological, doctrinal board of review."

"The city council members are not theologians," he added. "They're politicians."

 

Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

These Scriptures are in the Torah also:

Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, {What part of that Scripture did they not understand?

Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. {Breaking the Old Covenant

Hbr 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old.

1Jo 2:27 But the anointing [New Covenant] which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

BOTH the U.S. Constitution AND the Old Testament do not agree with that group on levels that children can understand.

Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. The Word of God has the Authority

Eph 5:7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

Psa 40:4 Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

1Jo 2:27 Ye need not that any man teach you

Isa 34:16 Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail

Jhn 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Jer 16:14 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

Jer 16:15 But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.

Isa 14:31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.
