When the Reformation swept over Europe, it put the Bible in the hands of the people, revolutionized concepts of government and set the stage for America’s Republic. With the influence of Samuel Rutherford, John Witherspoon and John Locke, the Bible became a framework for freedom. It brought about civil freedoms and benefits, which Western Europe and the United States have enjoyed for centuries. Those governments were based on God. Some, though, have since rejected Him and have fallen into a level of morality and shambles. America dare not follow suit!
Rutherford asserted that the basic premise of government and law is the Bible, the Word of God, rather than the word of any man, including the king. Rutherford argued that all men were under the law and not above it. Words like rights, freedoms and laws, are meaningless without their divine origin.
Due process is part of the foundation of America. The likes of Nancy Pelosi have lost their way. She supported the imprisonment of more than 3 dozen alleged Jan. 6th “insurrectionists”. Cruelly, they have been held in solitary confinement without due process. A few years ago, she and Harry Reid did the same thing with a family (Bundy) for more than a year without due process. They got away with it and most Americans never knew the difference. That is not how America works!
