Doctrinal & Organizational Explanations Regarding the First Christian Fellowship of Eternal Sovereignty
“Let [the Constitution] be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges, let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls and enforced in courts of justice. And in short, let it become the political religion of the nation.” — Abraham Lincoln
By Daniel McGavin Hansen, Sovereign & Christopher Holloman Hansen, Sovereign
The main objective of The First Christian Fellowship of Eternal Sovereignty is to proselyte and educate sovereign Americans and empower them to demand and defend their God given rights and fulfill their duties as freedom loving Christians against the encroachment of the Beast and his agents. A Supreme Court Justice in America Communicators Association vs Douds, 339 U. S. 382, 442 said, “It is not the function of our Government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error.” We intend to do all we can as a Christian Fellowship and as a free sovereign people to return our governments to their proper Constitutional role as is our proper “function” and duty.
We feel it is our obligation to teach our members to be self governing by learning the liberating principles of individual responsibilities under God. The Holy Bible tells us that we cannot serve two masters. We intend to use all legal means to regain our sovereignty as “We the People” by placing our governments back into the proper role of servants and not of masters by following the precepts and duties as defined in the Declaration of Independence, enforcing the Constitutional limitations set upon our governments and by applying the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. We intend, also, to help obtain for our membership salvation from the involuntary servitude (see the Thirteenth Amendment) imposed upon us by the Beast, through his agents, disguised as the Social Security System and its "Mark of the Beast" the infamous Social Security identification number.
“In decent respect to the opinions of mankind,” we offer the following reasoning, scripture and historical evidence of our heritage to articulate our deeply held belief that America must reestablish individual freedoms through Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour of this Nation or become unwitting slaves to the Beast. Jealous of their newly won and God ordained rights of free men, the founders of our nation refused to ratify the Constitution of the United States unless and until the Bill of Rights or the first ten amendments were added thereto. The Bill of Rights for the people is in reality a bill of limitations on the government as expressed in the PREAMBLE thereof: “...in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: ...”
It is with great significance that the very first statement in the very first amendment, Article I, is “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”: This is self evident fact that the government is restricted from interfering in the establishment or free exercise of religion. Conversely, as we shall demonstrate in this doctrinal dissertation, the founders expected religion to significantly influence said government as established with contractual limitations to serve the people who received their sovereign powers from God.
The First Christian Fellowship of Eternal Sovereignty is a truly American establishment of religion as defined in the TESTAMENTS of TRUTH and our DECLARATION OF SOVEREIGNTY.
Membership in this fellowship is by invitation only to Christians who recognize Jesus Christ as “our Lord” as He is so designated under Article VII of the Constitution of the United States.
A membership application form is available with further explanations and pledges. All potential members should be thoroughly conversant with the above cited Christian Fellowship literature.
We Sovereigns have historical documents and chosen flagship scriptures which help define our purpose, justify our cause, and limit our membership. These include but are not limited to the following:
Isaiah, a prophet in ancient Israel declared (5:13), “Therefore my people have gone into captivity because they have no knowledge.”
The apostle Paul proclaims (II Cor. 3:17) “Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
The people in modern America are in captivity and debt and tax bondage because they, like the ancient Romans, (as recorded by Edward Gibbons in his monumental history The Decline & Fall of Rome) “...in the enjoyment of prosperity forgot freedom.”
Americans in the enjoyment of prosperity have relied on the monopolized government school system to educate our people and we have gone into captivity. No people, no nation can be free and in debt. In his letter to the Ephesians, (Eph. 6:10) Paul warned us where Satan would manifest his powers, “in principalities and in corruption in high places.” He goes on to admonish us to take upon ourselves all the armor of God, not just the Gospel of peace, but also truth, righteousness, faith, salvation and the Sword of the word of God. We know, without doubt, that our nation was founded by God and that the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were inspired by God and are therefore a part of His Sword against “wickedness in high places.” We Sovereigns willingly put on the whole of God’s armor and pick up His Sword.
Even as Christ cast the money changers out of the temple, we Christians, must use His Sword to throw the money changers (the International Banking Cartels and the Federal Reserve System) out of our government and return it to its rightful masters: We the People. We must throw off our shackles symbolized by the Social Security Number (the Mark of the Beast) and bind down the corrupt politicians and judges with the chains of our God given Constitution.
John the Revelator foresaw fierce looking beasts which represent tyrannical earthly governments controlled by Satan (Rev. 13: 16 & 17)
And he (the Beast) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
The Social Security number marks us just as certainly as if it was in our right hand or in our foreheads. Please note that the scripture says “in” and not on. A brand, tattoo or a ring would be considered on our hand not “in” our hand yet when we hold something it is referred to as being “in” your hand. Who does not have to show their Social Security card and hold it “in” their hand when applying for a job or to get a bank account? And who does not know their number by heart having it “in” their “forehead” so they may quote it upon demand by the government.
Many people also assume that the number must be 666 and that is not their Social Security Number so they fail to recognize it as the “Mark of the Beast.” The scripture says, “and his (the Beast’s) number is six hundred three score and six (666).” The scripture does not even say that the mark that we must carry is 666 for that is the number of HIS name. We will be marked by a “mark” OR “the name of the beast” OR “the number of his name.” The true identifying quality of the “Mark” is that it must restrict buying and selling or in other words the ability to earn a living (selling our products or our labor) or to obtain that which we need (buying) in order to survive.
Any requirement, therefore, by any government that would Mark us, especially numerically, is so unconditionally repugnant to those whose names are “written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” (Rev 13: 8) as to make it impossible to practice their chosen religion. “If any man have ear, let him hear.” (Rev. 13:9)
We Sovereigns do hereby demand our God given rights to free exercise of religion unalienable by any government. We also demand that “Government” comply with both the Constitution and the newly adopted Religious Freedom Restoration Act that states in part:
SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF PURPOSES.
- FINDINGS.-The Congress finds
- the framers of the American Constitution, recognizing free exercise of religion as an unalienable right, secured its protection in the First Amendment to the Constitution;
SEC. 3. FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION PROTECTED.
- IN GENERAL. - Government shall not substantially burden a person’s exercise of religion even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability, except as provided in subsection (b).
- EXCEPTION. - Government may burden a person’s exercise of religion only if it demonstrates that application of the burden to the person
- furthers a compelling governmental interest; and
- is the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling governmental interest.
To force any Sovereign Christian to Mark themselves by accepting or continuing to accept a “Government” identification that could limit their ability to “buy” or to “sell” is to force that Christian to take upon themselves the Mark of the Beast. This would be similar to forcing a Jew to wear a Nazi swastika or to force a Black American to don the robes of the KKK. It would be slavery of the most heinous form. It would force Sovereign Christians to proselyte for Satan. In essence it would force Sovereign Christians to support their enemies and prevent and pervert their religious practice, rights, and intentions.
This is a Christian Nation that has allowed Satan to manifest his powers because of “corruption in high places.” We must return to our foundations as a nation or risk the retribution from our Almighty God who will not be mocked forever.
The Father of our Republic, George Washington, counseled in his Farewell Address to the people of the united States:
With slight shades of difference, you have the same religion, manners, habits and political principles...of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports...And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion.
Inscribed on the Liberty Bell is the Old Testament admonition from Leviticus 25:10 to “...Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.”
Clarence Manion was one of America’s greatest professors of Constitutional law. He served as the distinguished Dean of the College of Law of Notre Dame University and was the founder of the Natural Law Institute.
Dean Manion in his book THE KEY TO PEACE states “The American Revolution was an official public acknowledgment of the one true pre-existing God, the Creator of all men and source of all the rights of men...our Founding Fathers were building Americanism upon the firm foundation of religious faith.”
Dean Manion demonstrates that the one and only possible formula for peace was discovered by the Founding Fathers when they indited and implemented the American Declaration of Independence. When the formula was established in the American constitutional system, a miracle resulted.
The whole atmosphere of the United States seemed charged with a kind of electricity that sparked the human spirit in a manner that was beyond all earthly precedent: ...a bloody Revolution was necessary to establish it. A desperate Civil War was necessary to maintain it. May God grant that the time may never come, but, if it becomes essential, other wars must be fought to preserve and perpetuate this exclusive and priceless heritage, for it is-the Key to Peace.
Dean Manion cites as supportive evidence: The United States Supreme Court ruling in the Church of the Holy Trinity v. The United States. Mr. Justice Brewer delivered the opinion of the court (excerpted as follows):
THIS IS A CHRISTIAN NATION
No purpose of action against religion can be imputed to any legislation, state or nation, because this is a religious people. This is historically true. From the discovery of this continent to the present hour, there is a single voice making this affirmation.
The commission to Christopher Columbus, prior to his sail westward, is from ‘Ferdinand and Isabella, by the grace of God, King and Queen of Castile,’ etc., and recites that ‘it is hoped that by God’s assistance some of the continents and islands in the ocean will be discovered,’ etc.
The first colonial grant, that was made to Sir Walter Raleigh in 1584 was from ‘Elizabeth, by the grace of God, of England, France and Ireland, queen, defender of the faith,’ etc.; and the grant authorizing him to enact statutes of the government of the proposed colony provided that, —‘they be not against the true Christian faith now professed in the Church of England.’
The first charter of Virginia, granted by King James I in 1606, after reciting the application of certain parties for a charter, commenced the grant in these words: ‘We, greatly commending, and graciously accepting of, their Desires for the Furtherance of so noble a Work, which may, by the Providence of Almighty God, hereafter tend to the Glory of his Divine Majesty, in propagating of Christian Religion...’
Language of similar import may be found in the subsequent charter of that colony...The celebrated compact made by the Pilgrims in the Mayflower, 1620, recites: ‘Having undertaken for the Glory of God and Advancement of the Christian Faith, and the Honour 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 Politick.’
The Declaration of Independence recognizes the presence of the Divine in human affairs in these words: ‘We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.’ ‘We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare,’ etc.: ‘And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.’
If we examine the constitutions of the various states, we find in them a constant recognition of religious obligations. Every constitution of every one of the forty-four states contains language which, either directly or by clear implication, recognizes a profound reverence for religion, and an assumption that its influence in all human affairs is essential to the well-being of the community.
It may be only in the familiar requisition that all officers shall take an oath closing with the declaration, ‘so help me God.’
Or by Article 22 of the constitution of Delaware, (1776), which required all officers, besides an oath of allegiance, to make and subscribe the following declaration:
I, A. B., do profess faith in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ His only Son, and in the Holy Ghost, one God, blessed for evermore, and I do acknowledge the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be given by divine inspiration.
Even the Constitution of the United States, which is supposed to have little touch upon the private life of the individual, (Emphasis added ed.)contains in the 1st amendment a declaration common to the constitutions of all the states, as follows: ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,’ etc., There is no dissonance in these declarations. There is a universal language pervading them all, having one meaning. They affirm and reaffirm that this is a religious nation. These are not individual sayings, declarations of private persons. They are organic utterances. They speak the voice of the entire people.
If we pass beyond these matters to a view of American life, as expressed by its laws, it business, its customs, and its society, we find everywhere a clear recognition of the same truth. Among other matters note the following: The form of oath universally prevailing, concluding with an appeal to the Almighty; the custom of opening sessions of all deliberative bodies and most conventions with prayer; the prefatory words of all wills, ‘In the name of God, amen’; the laws respecting the observance of the Sabbath, with the general cessation of all secular business, and the closing of courts, legislatures, and other similar public assemblies on that day; the churches and church organizations which abound in every city, town, and hamlet; the multitude of charitable organizations existing everywhere under Christian auspices; the gigantic missionary associations, with general support, and aiming to establish Christian missions in every quarter of the globe.
These, and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation. (U.S. Supreme Court Decision 1892)
We, Sovereigns, hold that the Constitution of the United States is a glorious standard founded in the wisdom of God. The foundation of this contract of freedom began in America with a little band of pilgrims seeking religious liberty.
“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE.” (Hosea 4:6)
The godless government school monopoly has silently, relentlessly and deliberately censored our history. These book burning educators are guilty of the most heinous crimes of priestcraft, having denied us and our children of our birthright. Our birthright as Americans is the historical knowledge of who we are, where we came from, our inherited rights and responsibilities, and the manifest destiny of this nation under God to be a shining beacon of liberty to all mankind and to proclaim liberty to all the inhabitants of the world.
Let us briefly review our BIRTHRIGHT HISTORY by reading from the words of W. J. Cameron who wrote: Israel Arrives in America.
Who were these Pilgrim Fathers? They called themselves ‘the seed of Abraham. God’s servant, and the children of Jacob, His chosen.’ It is so written in their own records. They called themselves ‘a vine out of Egypt into this wilderness.’ These are their words:
Being of Israel, these forefathers of ours proceeded in all their plans after the pattern of Israel. Let us always remember that the planting of America, in the strain that determined our country’s character was a spiritual planting. The fathers who planted this nation were Christians. They came here as Christians. They came because they were Christians. They came on a specifically Christian venture. Get it fixed in your mind, beyond the power of any false history to erase, that the planting which determined the genius of this nation was a Church-not a town, not a colony, but a Church. A little Pilgrim Church crossed the sea for the sake of its church life-that is the true origin of our United States.
There is a little shallot tossing on the Atlantic near the tip of Cape Cod. And there encompassed by the waters, ere yet a single foot was pressed on Plymouth Rock, our fathers called a solemn convocation in the Mayflower’s stuffy cabin and drew up the Mayflower Compact...‘In the Name of God. Amen. We whose names are underwritten, having undertaken for the glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith, a voyage to plant the first colony...do by these Presents, solemnly and mutually in the presence of God combine ourselves into a civil body politic.’ That was the beginning of our politics—’In the Name of God. Amen.’
With increasing accessions from the godly people of the old lands, the number of the colonies grew to four, and federation became desirable. A man of God drew up the Articles of Federation... ‘Whereas, we all came into these parts of America with one and the same end, namely, to advance the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ and to enjoy the liberties of the Gospel in purity we therefore conceive it our bounden duty...that as in nation and religion, so in other respects, we be and continue one.’ That declaration made us a People.
The British government forgot that the Colonists were British men, and adopted the strange unBritish policy of taxation without representation. Our fathers were 13 Colonies now, as there were thirteen tribes in Israel. And again there came a mighty division in Israel-the Colonies revolted against the rule of England. And determining to do this, they produced another great Covenant Document, The Declaration of Independence, and there once more their allegiance to Almighty God is declared.
The Mayflower Compact made us a Civil Body Politic. The Articles of Federation made us a People. The Declaration of Independence made us a Nation. All of them are based on the people’s allegiance to God. Not one of them ever has been or ever can be amended.
“I often wonder,” wrote historian J. W. Cameron, “how many Americans see the four great Characters, the four great Attributes of God, in our Declaration of Independence. Let me show them to you in four brief passages. (1) ‘The separate and equal station by which the laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them.’ There we acknowledge the God of Nature, Creator of Heaven and Earth. (2) ‘All men are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.’ There we acknowledge God the Father of Mankind. (3) ‘We therefore, the representatives of the United States, in General Congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions.’ There we acknowledge God, the Moral Governor of the Earth, beneath whose awful hand we hold dominion over the land and the people. (4) ‘And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’ There we fervently acknowledge God, the Providential Guide, and Protector, and Savior of Peoples. There, my friends, in the Compact, the Articles, and the Declaration, is the three-fold cord of solemn obligation which binds us to the Law of God. Our Patriotism and our Religion grow on the same stem.”
Out of our own mouths are we judged.
