Save the Constitution, End the Government
"The church is false. The gospel [of Jesus Christ] is true, but the church is false."
Some time ago I was spending time with one of my old friends and his wife, and those words are the only thing I remember him saying. His argument was that a church, which are run by men, can never be perfect. Men - humanity - make mistakes, we can be forgetful, we can be vengeful, and we can be stupid on occasion. To put it another way, men and women in their mortal form are imperfect and these imperfections inevitably need to failings within the church - even a church built around a true and perfect gospel. Yet without an organized church, however imperfect, there can be no gospel. Without a church there would be no printing of bibles, building of buildings, nor energy behind the mundane tasks the gospel necessitates.
We can view the constitution and the US government in the same manner. While not perfect, we can say with certainty that the constitution was written with divine inspiration. The American constitution is probably the closest any mortal will ever come to crafting something which is truly perfect. It was a prerequisite for cementing the first great awakening and allowing the later awakenings which followed.
The government, which is the energy behind the constitution, was never perfect. The government was never meant to be perfect. Why else would we have the checks and balances or the separation of powers? Why would we have amendments which limited the government's ability to regulate religion, regulate speech or restrict firearms? The men who drafted the constitution knew the weaknesses inherent to humanity and worked to develop a system which could survive mortal failings.
The American government has now become so large and so corrupt that it can no longer be contained by the constitution. The government's energy, once used in the defense of liberty, is now exerted to protect and enrich the powerful. If our goal is to protect our rights and our constitution, our action must be to end the current government.
