Our Children?
It is disturbing to watch the mutual decline of life and liberty in our country and state. Now that life and personhood are rights granted by the civil government & medical community, it seems every other right is now the civil government’s to hand out to the populace with a list of requirements if they intend to keep their civil government given rights.
When you have children, you are made painfully aware of who owns your child. Children are a gift from the Lord to parents. The children belong to the parents, and live under the family government and under the headship of their father. The care given to the children is the sole responsibility and right of the parents.
In Georgia, children before birth, are the property of their mothers to be kept or disposed of as the mother sees fit. Once born, children belong to the civil government, and it is the duty of the parents to obey the civil government in the care of the children, or the civil government has granted itself the right to take away the children.
This ownership begins the moment of birth. By state law, your child receives a vitamin k shot and the PKU test. If you do not want these procedures, you must sign a paper for religious abstention and hope your nurses don’t call DFACS. Before you go home, your child receives his first vaccination. By state law, you must place your child in a carseat in order to take him home, and he must remain in a carseat each time he rides in a car until he is the age of 6. By state law, your child must attend school by a certain age. By state law, if you choose to educate your own child rather than having the state educate your child, you must submit attendance reports and do yearly testing so the state can make sure you are taking good care of its property. By state law, your child must have certain vaccinations before being allowed to enter the state school. By state law, should you purchase your child a bicycle, you must also insure that he wears a helmet. Should you choose to spank your child, there is also a state law in regard to that-how long the mark can last, and where the spanking is to be applied to the child. If one of your children die, the civil government has granted itself the authority to remove all your other children from your home until an investigation is completed in order to prove your innocence in the death of your child.
There is nothing necessarily wrong with helmets, car seats, discipline, vaccines, or vitamin K shots. But it is not the right of the government to dictate to us how we care for our children. God did not grant civil government that kind of authority. I’m amused when people ask, “What if a parent is irresponsible?” If a parent is irresponsible, it is for the church and community to fill in the gap. Do we really believe that the civil government, a perfect example of red tape, wasted money, abuse of power, bureaucratic nonsense, and dreadful neglect is capable of stepping in and adequately raising children? When the family government breaks down it is then for the church to care for and educate orphans.
Civil government does not hold power that it grants to itself. In fact, our Constitution was written as a restraint to civil government. Our Founding Fathers understood that civil government always seeks to take away. Our Constitution assumes the rights of the people, and restrains the civil government so as to protect those God given rights. The duty of civil government is to protect the life and liberty of the populace. Its powers are very clear, finite and limited. That is all.
Our liberty, our life, our property, our children are granted to us by our Creator. We must restrain the civil government, make our will known to those we elect, and take back the power that has been wrongly usurped by those we put over us.
