Glenn Beck said this about the documents: "It is God’s finger that wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. This is God’s country; these are God’s rights. I have no idea what he wants us to do with them, other than protect them, and stand with Him." Yet, he goes out of his way to claim that the church persecuted those who held the real Bible, the Essenes. A Mormon historian wrote

Among his many statements on the Constitution, Joseph Smith declared:

“We say that God is true, that the Constitution of the United States is true, that the Bible is true, the Book of Mormon is true, that Christ is true, that the ministering of angels is true;…” 6

This comes from the Doctrine and Covenants.

None of that says it is scripture. None. I know you want it to say it, but that doesn’t change the meaning.

Further, as Beck said, it was “God's finger” that wrote the Constitution. How does that say it is scripture?

When one refers to a blessing of some kind and we say that was the “hand of God”, what does that mean to you?

If the Constitution was scripture, it would be perfect right?

How about the Bill of Right? Does that mean God isn't perfect in his word? No, it means that God inspired men to do his will. Even the Founders can attest to that great truth.

I think Patrick Henry said it pretty succinctly.

“It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great Nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here.” - Patrick Henry

Is Patrick Henry saying the founding documents are scripture? Of course not, but he is saying our country is built on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

This is waht the D and C says.

D&C 98: 5-6 5 And that law of the land which is constitutional, supporting that principle of freedom in maintaining rights and privileges, belongs to all mankind, and is justifiable before me.

6 Therefore, I, the Lord, justify you, and your brethren of my church, in befriending that law which is the constitutional law of the land;

D&C 101: 77, 80

77 According to the laws and constitution of the people, which I have suffered to be established, and should be maintained for the rights and protection of all flesh, according to just and holy principles;

• • • 80 And for this purpose have I established the Constitution of this land, by the hands of wise men whom I raised up unto this very purpose, and redeemed the land by the shedding of blood.
