Constitution......or the Bible??

Which is more lawful, the Constitution or the Bible
Many people ask which would be more lawful, the constitution or the Holy Bible? Well lets see the basis in which both the Constitution an the Bible were written.


The Constitution
The Constitution consist of 27 ammendments. The first five ammendments are:

1st Amendment
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.


2nd Amendment
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed (disobey or disregard something).


3rd Amendment
No soldier shall, in time of peace, be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.


4th Amendment
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures(to stop or the act of seizing something, especially the taking of something by force or the official or legal appropriation of something) or , shall not be violated; and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized.

5th Amendment
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous, crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service, in time of war, or public danger; nor shall any person be subject, for the same offense, to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled, in any criminal case, to be a witness against himself; nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.


The Bible

The bible have many principles that we should follow today. We would follow biblical principles such as loving your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:39). If you love yourself you would not harm your neighbor (neighbor being anyone around you not just your next door neighbor). If everyone would follow there would be peace, no murders. Also at Jerimiah 10: 23 it says I well know, "O Lord, that to earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step." This shows that we need gods guidence inorder to make right decisions
