PG here, Thursday, 17, 2025, Extra Addition "A Letter if Concerning Toleration," Day 38, Page 23a of the PDF.
The question is about giving the government power to make laws and rules concerning religion. How disastrous that would be?
Page 23a of 40 It may be said: “What if a Church be idolatrous, is that also to be tolerated by the magistrate?” I answer: What power can be given to the magistrate for the suppression of an idolatrous Church, which may not in time and place be made use of to the ruin of an orthodox one? For it must be remembered that the civil power is the same everywhere, and the religion of every prince is orthodox to himself. If, therefore, such a power be granted unto the civil magistrate in spirituals as that at Geneva, for example, he may extirpate, by violence and blood, the religion which is
there reputed idolatrous, by the same rule another magistrate, in some neighbouring country, may oppress the reformed religion and, in India, the Christian. The civil power can either change everything in religion, according to the prince’s pleasure, or it can change nothing. If it be once permitted to introduce anything into religion by the means of laws and penalties, there can be no bounds put to it, but it will in the same manner be lawful to alter everything, according to that rule of truth which the magistrate has framed unto himself. No man whatsoever ought, therefore,
to be deprived of his terrestrial enjoyments upon account of his religion.
Not even Americans, subjected unto a Christian prince, are to be punished either in body or goods for not embracing our faith and worship. If they are persuaded that they please God in observing the rites of their own country and that they shall obtain happiness by that means, they are to be left unto God and themselves. Let us trace this matter to the bottom. Thus it is: An inconsiderable and weak number of Christians, destitute of everything, arrive in a Pagan country; these foreigners beseech the inhabitants, by the bowels of humanity, that they would succour them with
the necessaries of life; those necessaries are given them, habitations are granted, and they all join together and grow up into one body of people.

PG here, Thursday 17, 2025, Day 65, Chapter 11, Section 137, Pages 63 and 64, John Locke's Second Treatise of Government and A Letter of Toleration. "Of the Extent of The Legislative Power." The basis of the Declaration of Independence. The basis of this book we are reading is divine inspiration for a more perfect union, the **Bible*** interpreted by the Holy Spirit of Almighty God, and ***Is Jesus*** the very power of the spoken word of God. Words do matter and are extremely powerful, especially when anointed by Almighty God, like this book.
Who do you join arms with? A Tyrant? A mob of vigilantes stirred up by some crafty men or a man? or 100,000 freemen who are all independent, inspired by the Holy Spirit of God, and are freemen. Freed by the power of Jesus Christ's gospel. Free from sin. Obedient to the voice of God only?
All governments, to fulfill their purpose, are restrained to live under preestablished laws and rules, or they fail their purpose. (The principles set forth here in John Locke's Treatise with the use of the Bible are preestablished laws from our Creator.) A much higher power than mere men who are tempted to sin. God can not sin nor be tempted to sin. He is perfect. ***Be ye perfect as your Father is perfect*** is our command to follow from Holy Scripture.
Sect. 137. Absolute arbitrary power, or governing without settled standing laws, can neither of them consist with the ends of society and government, which men would not quit the freedom of the state of nature for, and tie themselves up under, were it not to preserve their lives, liberties and fortunes, and by stated rules of right and property to secure their peace and quiet. It cannot be supposed that they should intend, had they a power so to do, to give to any one, or more, an absolute arbitrary power over their
persons and estates, and put a force into the magistrate's hand to execute his unlimited will arbitrarily upon them. wherein they had a liberty to defend their right against the injuries of others, and were upon equal terms of force to maintain it, whether invaded by a single man, or many in combination. Whereas by supposing they have given up themselves to the absolute arbitrary power and will of a legislator, they have disarmed themselves, and armed him, to make a prey of them when he pleases; he being in a much worse condition, who is exposed to the arbitrary power of one man, who has the command of 100,000, than he that is exposed to the arbitrary power of 100,000 single men; no body being secure, that his will, who has such a command, is better than that of other men, though his force be 100,000 times stronger. And therefore, whatever form the commonwealth is under, the ruling power ought to govern by
declared and received laws, and not by extemporary dictates and undetermined resolutions: for then mankind will be in a far worse condition than in the state of nature, if they shall have armed one, or a few men with the joint power of a multitude, to force them to obey at pleasure the exorbitant and unlimited decrees of their sudden thoughts, or unrestrained, and till that moment unknown wills, without having any measures set down which may guide and justify their actions: for all the power the government has, being only for the good of the society, as it ought not to be arbitrary and at pleasure, so it ought to be exercised by established and promulgated laws; that both the people may know their duty,
and be safe and secure within the limits of the law; and the rulers too kept within their bounds, and not be tempted, by the power they have in their hands, to employ it to such purposes, and by such measures, as they would not have known, and own not willingly

Page 22b of the PDF. The First Amendment is clearly explained in this reading. Freedom of Religion. The government cannot stop any kind of freedom of religion in the name of public good. Like during the "pretend COVID crisis. The government cannot shut down churches in the name of public good. If a religion is discriminating against women, making laws that treat them as second-class citizens, or if a religion allows things that are already against the law because they harm someone, like child abuse, sexual mutilation, rape, etc.,. The person has broken the law, and the church can not make laws that allow harm to life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness or protection of property.
22b: And thus what may be spent on a feast may be spent on a sacrifice. But if peradventure such were the state of things that the interest of the commonwealth required all slaughter of beasts should be forborne for some while, in order to the increasing of the stock of cattle that had been destroyed by some extraordinary murrain, who sees not that the magistrate, in such a case, may forbid all his subjects to kill any calves for any use whatsoever? Only it is to be observed that, in this case, the law is not made about a religious, but a political matter; nor is the sacrifice, but the slaughter of calves, thereby prohibited. By this we see what difference there is between the Church and the Commonwealth. Whatsoever is lawful in the Commonwealth cannot be prohibited by the magistrate in the Church. Whatsoever is permitted unto any of his subjects for their ordinary use, neither can nor ought to be forbidden by him to any sect of people for their religious uses. If any man may lawfully take bread or wine, either sitting or kneeling in his own house, the law ought not to abridge him of the same liberty in his religious worship; though in the Church the use of bread and wine be very different and be there applied to the mysteries of faith and rites of Divine worship. But those things that are prejudicial to the commonweal of a people in their ordinary use and are, therefore, forbidden by laws, those things ought not to be permitted to Churches in their sacred rites. Only the magistrate ought always to be very careful that he do not misuse his authority to the oppression of any Church, under pretence of public good. It may be said: “What if a Church be idolatrous, is that also to be tolerated

Secondly, The legislative, or supreme authority, cannot assume to its self a power to rule by extemporary arbitrary decrees, but is bound to dispense justice, and decide the rights of the subject by promulgated standing laws, and known authorized judges:* for the law of nature being unwritten, and so no where to be found but in the minds of men, they who through passion or interest shall miscite, or misapply it, cannot so easily be convinced of their mistake where there is no established judge: and so it serves not, as it ought, to determine the rights, and fence the properties of those that live under it, especially where every one is judge, interpreter, and executioner of it too, and that in his own case: and he that has right on his

To avoid these inconveniences, which disorder men's propperties in the state of nature, men unite into societies, that they may have the united strengthof the whole society to secure and defend their properties, and may have standing rules to bound it, by which every one may know what is his. To this end it is that men give up all their natural power to the society which they enter into, and the community put the legislative power into such hands as they think fit, with this trust, that they shall be governed by declared laws, or else their peace, quiet, and property will still be at the same uncertainty, as it was in the state of nature.

This page deals with an issue Americans struggle with today. Religious Freedom. It has been twisted to allow gruesome murders, molestations, sex trafficking, and mutilations of children. All are abominations to true law, which is to protect each person's, even a woman's or child's, right to themselves, their minds, goods, preservation of their life, liberty, freedom, and body. No one has a right to molest or do harm to another being. Anywhere in the entire world.
excerpt: In the next place: As the magistrate has no power to impose by his laws the use of any rites and ceremonies in any Church, so neither has he any***You will say, by this rule, if some congregations should have a mind to sacrifice infants, or (as the primitive Christians were falsely accused) lustfully pollute themselves in promiscuous uncleanness, or practise any other such heinous enormities, is the magistrate obliged to tolerate them, because they are committed in a religious assembly? I answer: No. These things are not lawful in the ordinary course of life, nor in any private house; and therefore neither are they so in the worship of God or in any religious meeting. But, indeed, if any people congregated upon account of religion should be desirous to sacrifice a calf, I deny that that ought to be prohibited by a law. Meliboeus, whose calf it is, may lawfully kill his calf at home, and burn any part of it that he thinks fit. For no injury is thereby done to any one, no prejudice to another man’s goods. And for the same reason he may kill his calf also in a religious meeting. Whether the doing so be well-pleasing to God or no, it is their part to consider that do it. The part of the magistrate is only to take care that the commonwealth receive no prejudice, and that there be no injury done to any man, either in life or estate***

PG here, Day 63 of 100, Chapter 11, Section 135, Pages 61 and 62, John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government with A Letter Concerning Toleration." Each of you will be held accountable to know this. From the White House to the illegal sneaking over the border. Once you touch American soil, we, the people, with God's help and his holy army of angels and his powerful holy moral laws, will hold you accountable to know the things within this book. It is the duty of every American citizen, even a foreigner, tourist, or visitor, to know this book. I am saying it is a sin to not know this book. It is a firm responsibility for every man, woman, and child to know this information. Whether you are a Christian or not. This is the mixture of ingredients that makes the laws that are universal for all men.
excerpt from section 135:......... No one can be a part of a political society, voting system, or self-government without the knowledge of these ingredients that form a wholesome, good, fair, just, and healthy society: for no body can transfer to another more power than he has in himself; and no body has an absolute arbitrary power over himself, or over any other, to destroy his own life, or
take away the life or property of another.....but only so much as the law of nature gave him for the preservation of himself,
and the rest of mankind...................the legislative can have no more than this. Their power, in the utmost bounds
of it ,is limited to the public good of the society. It is a power, that hath no other end but preservation, and therefore can never have a right to destroy, enslave, or designedly to impoverish the subjects................ Thus the law of nature stands as an eternal rule to all men, legislators as well as others. The rules that they make for other men's actions, must, as well as their own and other men's actions, be conformable to the law of nature, i.e. to
the will of God, of which that is a declaration, and the fundamental law of nature being the preservation of mankind, no human sanction can be good, or valid against it.
Note: the common
good, for which societies are instituted. Unless they do this, they are not perfect. Hooker's Eccl. Pol. l. i. sect. 10.)
Do What?
All laws must be for the preservation of each person and for the common good according to the laws of nature and the laws of God. i.e., the word ordained" means a law is from God; good, wholesome, pure, just, and fair........ we call the law of a common-weal, the very soul of a politic body, the parts whereof are by law animated, held together, and set on work in such actions as the common good requireth. Laws politic, ordained for external order and regiment amongst men
He that
worships God does it with design to please Him and procure His favour.
But that cannot be done by him who, upon the command of another, offers
unto God that which he knows will be displeasing to Him, because not
commanded by Himself. This is not to please God, or appease his wrath,
but willingly and knowingly to provoke Him by a manifest contempt,
2.) PG here Page 20 of 40 according to the PDF. Extra Addition of John Locke's Letter of Consideration. Divine Worship can not be ordered by law. It must be done by a person conscience. The same with Baptism. Page 20 of 40 according to pdf: excerpt: Again, things in their own nature indifferent cannot, by any human
authority, be made any part of the worship of God—for this very reason: because they are indifferent. For, since indifferent things are not capable, by any virtue of their own, to propitiate the Deity, no human power or authority can confer on them so much dignity and excellency as to enable them to do it. In the common affairs of life that use of indifferent things which God has not forbidden is free and lawful, and therefore in those things human authority has place. But it is not so in matters of religion. Things indifferent are not otherwise lawful in the worship of God than as
they are instituted by God Himself and as He, by some positive command, has ordained them to be made a part of that worship which He will vouchsafe to accept at the hands of poor sinful men. Nor, when an incensed Deity shall ask us, “Who has required these, or such-like things at your hands?” will it be enough to answer Him that the magistrate commanded them. If civil jurisdiction extend thus far, what might not lawfully be introduced into religion?

Yes, own it; do not be ashamed that you worship God with other believers. In peace and Holiness. This worship is nothing like worship of God today. Page 19: excerpt....Men, therefore, constituted in this liberty are to enter into some religious society, that they meet together, not only for mutual edification, but to own to the world that they worship God and offer unto His Divine Majesty such service as they themselves are not ashamed of and such as they think not unworthy of Him, nor unacceptable to Him; and, finally, that by the purity of doctrine, holiness of life, and decent form of worship, they may draw others unto the love of the true religion, and perform such other things in religion as cannot be done by each private man apart.

CHAPTER. XI.
OF THE EXTENT OF THE LEGISLATIVE POWER.
Sect. 134. THE great end of men's entering into society, being the enjoyment of their properties in peace and safety, and the great instrument and means of that being the laws established in that society;the first and fundamental positive law of all commonwealths is the establishing of the legislative power;
as the first and fundamental natural law, which is to govern even the legislative itself, is the preservation of the society, and (as far
as will consist with the public good) of every person in it. This legislative is not only the supreme power of the commonwealth, but sacred and unalterable in the hands where the community have once placed it; nor can any edict of any body else, in what form soever conceived, or by what power soever backed, have the force and obligation of a law, which has not its sanction from
that legislative which the public has chosen and appointed: for without this the law could not have that, which is absolutely necessary to its being a law,* the consent of the society, over whom no body can have a power to make laws, but by their own consent, and by authority received from them; and
therefore all the obedience, which by the most solemn ties any one can be obliged to pay, ultimately terminates in this supreme power, and is directed by those laws which it enacts: nor can any oaths to any foreign power whatsoever, or any domestic subordinate power, discharge any member of the
society from his obedience to the legislative, acting pursuant to their trust; nor oblige him to any obedience contrary to the laws so enacted, or farther than they do allow; it being ridiculous to imagine one can be tied ultimately to obey any power in the society, which is not the supreme. (*The lawful power of making laws to command whole politic societies of men, belonging so properly unto the same intire societies, that for any prince or potentate of what kind soever upon earth, to exercise the same of himself, and not by express commission immediately and personally received from God, or else by authority derived at the first from their consent, upon whose persons they impose laws,
it is no better than mere tyranny. Laws they are not therefore which public approbation hath not made so. Hooker's Eccl. Pol. l. i. sect. 10. Of this point therefore we are to note, that such men naturally have no full and perfect power to command whole politic multitudes of men, therefore utterly without our consent, we could in such sort be at no man's commandment living. And to be commanded we do consent, when that society, whereof
