But is our Constitution good enough today?
————
Our Constitution was inspired by God. The notion of changing our Constitution is idiotic, much like trying to change God’s written word, the Bible.

That said, we are witnessing the Methodists, Presbyterians, Anglicans, etc trying to do just that….and they are splitting up, fracturing and blowing away into non existence for it.

“Our Constitution was inspired by God.”

And written by sinful men.

“The notion of changing our Constitution is idiotic, much like trying to change God’s written word, the Bible.”

The Bible has been rewritten and changed many time over the centuries.

I would not put the Constitution on the level with Scripture. Paul and other authors of Scripture stated that they were writing under the inspiration of God. James Madison never made a similar claim.

That is not to degrade the Constitution, which is the best foundational document any nation has ever had. Unlike the warning in the Book of Revelation not to add or subtract anything to the writings, the fact that the Constitution provided for an amending process reflected the consensus among the Framers that circumstances may require changes. Some of them were good, as with the abolition of slavery and improvement of the process of electing Presidents; other not so good, such as the establishment of the income tax, direct popular votes for Senators, and Prohibition, the last of which was repealed.
