An Open Letter To Rep. Steve Cohen: Your Denial of God In The Oath Disqualifies You From Office newswithviews.com/an-open-letter…

Steve Cohen, you are not qualified to be a member of Congress, much less chairman of the Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution.

To say, “So help me God,” is not “using God”; it is acknowledging and asking for advocacy and aid from whom the Declaration of Independence identifies as our Creator.

Our founding documents declare that our Creator endowed every individual with their rights and it is the government’s duty given by the Creator and His creation to secure those rights.

When you make the statement that any American, Republican or otherwise, is “using God,” it is a not-so-clever way of trying to disavow God’s authority in the matter.
The Constitution contemplates that God’s authority be acknowledged and his assistance and favor be sought.

By denying the sovereignty of God over American justice, you deny the advocacy and backing of the Author and Protector of your right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

Making an oath before Almighty God reminds the oath taker that there is an eternal system of rewards and punishments that applies to him personally. This, of course, safeguards the justice system by calling on the Author and Warden of Justice.

Mr. Cohen, understand that while the purpose of Government is not to make a man a Christian, it is to penalize by statute and justice those who seek to inflict violence upon the liberties God has given to mankind.
