Psalm 37:27 Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell forevermore.
The subject of Good and Evil is one that is spoken of many, many times in the Word of God. It is the essence of living for God by the Standard of His Word.
To live a life pleasing to God is to do good. Any departure is evil. What follows are two separate documents that depict good and evil. The difference is astounding and easily detected. The documents are the Charters of two separate nations.
The first, the Mayflower Compact, is known as the first written framework of government established in what is now the United States. Some historians refer to this document as the original Charter of America. The second is the recorded Charter of the Nation of Islam.
1. The Mayflower Compact: (In Modern English) In the Name of God, Amen. We, whose names are underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, King, defender of the Faith, etc.
Having undertaken, for the Glory of God, and advancements of the Christian faith and honor of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the Northern parts of Virginia, do by these presents, solemnly and mutually, in the presence of God, and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic; for our better ordering, and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions, and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the colony; unto which we promise all due submission and obedience.
In witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at Cape Cod the 11th of November, in the year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord King James, of England, France, and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth, 1620.
2. The Charter of the Nation of Islam: Allah is its goal, the Prophet is its model, the Qur’an is its Constitution, Jihad is its path, and death for the cause of Allah is its most sublime belief.
Even the simple-minded can easily see that these two documents, representing these two separate nations, depict good and evil.
As Americans, we stand on the Word of God, and although we fail miserably at times, we strive to live our lives and promote a culture of good as it is defined in the Holy Word of God.
The Charter of the Nation of Islam is not just for radical terrorists, as some would have us believe. God created this world and everything in it. There are absolutes in God’s world. There is absolute good and there is absolute evil. If there wasn’t, God would not have stressed it over and over again in His Word.
America was founded on the Principles of God’s Word, which is all absolute Good and Truth. These Principles have served us well for many decades. Evil has crept into our country and seeks to take us over. The Nation of Islam and the Nation of America cannot coexist. One is good and the other is evil. The two are not in any way compatible. Anyone who believes they are is deceived. Deception is of the enemy and evil.
Do not be deceived, my friends. Seek the Truth. You will find it exactly where our Founding Fathers did: ONLY in the Word of God.
The Truth of the Word of God will…..…..turn the tide
