Scripture

In what follows, I will say a bit about Americanist scripture, although there will certainly be more to follow in subsequent postings. The primary scripture of the Americanist religion is the U.S. Constitution. I'll never forget celebrating our most holy of days at a Stadium of Fire event in Provo, Utah. There, Oracle Hannity wisely declared the constitution to be a divinely inspired document. This view was already held by many, but its affirmation by one of our Oracles truly affirmed it to be so. And how could it not be divinely inspired? In that most sacred document, our spiritual ancestors struck the final nail into the coffin of tyranny on our soil, and set forth a way of life that would keep us free from that tyranny- if only we had the strength to follow it. It is no wonder that the enemies of our religion constantly want to reinterpret our scripture- if our scripture is perverted then tyranny will begin to infect our land once again.

The Nine are charged with interpretation of our primary scripture, and while their pronouncements are final, it does not mitigate the responsibility of each and every Americanist to defend its integrity. That is why our vote for President is so important. The president has the power to appoint a member of The Nine, and The Nine interpret scripture. But we appoint the president. Therefore, a presidential candidate's interpretation of our scripture is one of the paramount criteria by which we appoint him into office.

It is imperative that all of us know our primary scripture so that we may defend it from those who would pervert it in the name of tyranny. That is why we are so thankful to our Americanist brothers and sisters at the Heritage Foundation for their commitment to arming all of us with the weapon of scripture: http://www.askheritage.org/Premium.aspx . In addition to the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence was another decisive blow against the enemies of tyranny, and sets forth the idea of our ultimate good- freedom.

In addition to our holy documents, we also believe the Oracles to be the emodiment of living, breathing scripture. We trust their pronouncement as they are blessed with the ability to discern what our spiritual fathers intended when they first wrote our scripture. In this way, the pronouncements of the Oracles are similar to the Jewish Talmud, although the Oracular pronouncements have not been published in one coherant volume together. Such projects are in the near future, I assure you. More on our scripture and the Oracles will certainly follow.
