PG HERE, Monday, April 21, 2025, Extra Addition: "A Letter Concerning Toleration." Day 43,  25 a and b according to PDF. 
A whole page to read. A story of Israel on government with religion. Usually I just put up half of a page according to the PDF. Religion mixed with government using the example of idolatry. This was concerning insubordination, or treason, and could be punished by death. God being the king. While a stranger was not held to that high of a standard. This standard is for those who are born Israeli or who ARE FOREIGNERS WHO JOIN THEIR RELIGION. They are proselytes to the Jewish religion. fs2.american.edu/dfagel/www/Philosophers/Locke/Letter%20Concerning%20Toleratin%20PDF.pdf

DAY 43

Secondly, foreigners and such as were strangers to the commonwealth of Israel were not compelled by force to observe the rites of the Mosaical law; but, on the contrary, in the very same place where it is ordered that an Israelite that was an idolater should be put to death,7 there it is provided that strangers should not be vexed nor oppressed. I confess that the seven nations that possessed the land which was promised to the Israelites were utterly to be cut off; but this was not singly because they were idolaters. For if that had been the reason, why were the Moabites and other nations to be spared? No: the reason is this. God being in a peculiar manner the King of the Jews, He could not suffer the adoration of any other deity (which was properly an act of high treason against Himself) in the land of Canaan, which was His kingdom. For such a manifest revolt could no ways consist with His dominion, which was perfectly political in that country. All idolatry was, therefore, to be rooted out of the bounds of His kingdom because it was an acknowledgment of another god, that is say, another king, against the laws of Empire. The inhabitants were also to be driven out, that the entire possession of the land might be given to the Israelites. And for the like reason the Emims and the Horims were driven out of their countries by the children of Esau and Lot; and their lands, upon the same grounds, given by God to the invaders.8 But, though all idolatry was thus rooted out of the land of Canaan, yet every idolater was not brought to execution. The whole family of Rahab, the whole nation of the Gibeonites, articled with Joshua, and were allowed by treaty; and there were many captives amongst the Jews who were idolaters. David and Solomon subdued many countries without the confines of the Land of Promise and carried their conquests as far as Euphrates. Amongst so many captives taken, so many nations reduced under their obedience, we find not one man forced into the Jewish religion and the worship of the true God and punished for idolatry, though all of them were certainly guilty of it. If any one, indeed, becoming a proselyte, desired to be made a denizen of their commonwealth, he was obliged to submit to their laws; that is, to embrace their religion. But this he did willingly, on his own accord, not by constraint. He did not unwillingly submit, to show his obedience, but he sought and solicited for it as a privilege. And, as soon as he was admitted, he became subject to the laws of the commonwealth, by which all idolatrywas forbidden within the borders of the land of Canaan. But that law (as I have said) did not reach to any of those regions, however subjected unto the Jews, that were situated without those bounds.

PG here, April 22, 2025, Day 44, Page 26a of 40 according to the PDF. This is really easy and straightforward, easy to understand. Please read the picture. Extra Addition to John Locke's Second Treatise of Civil Government. The second half of the book is A Letter Concerning Toleration. The first book on government is founded on this letter. Real, true Christianity is biblical. It is not today's Christianity. It is not made up of arbitrary rules, laws, and doctrines—false teachings of mere men because evil men are counterfeiting money. Evil people are inventing things no one using gold and silver coins would ever afford or spend their money on. The average wage is a silver dime, and the average pay is 3 silver dollars a month. A gold piece is $10 and is earned in about 9 months. No one needs a lot of money. Judas was given 30 pieces of silver; the Potters Field was about 9 months pay or a $10 gold piece. Men who love and worship God trust God for land, animals, wives, children, herds, and their own crops; they grow themselves, well water, and horses for transportation. Homes they build with their own two hands.

DAY 45

PG here, Wednesday, April 23, 2025, page 26b of 40 according to the PDF. Extra Addition John Locke's Government Treatise: A Letter Concerning Toleration. SEPARATION BETWEEN CHURCH AND LEGISLATIVE POWER. "SHE" BELOW IS THE "TRUTH".... ....Further, the magistrate ought not to forbid the preaching or professing of any speculative opinions in any Church because they have no manner of relation to the civil rights of the subjects. If a Roman Catholic believe that to be really the body of Christ which another man calls bread, he does no injury thereby to his neighbour. If a Jew do not believe the New Testament to be the Word of God, he does not thereby alter anything in men’s civil rights. If a heathen doubt of both Testaments, he is not therefore to be punished as a pernicious citizen. The power of the magistrate and the estates of the people may be equally secure whether any man believe these things or no. I readily grant that these opinions are false and absurd. But the business of laws is not to provide for the truth of opinions, but for the safety and security of the commonwealth and of every particular man’s goods and person. And so it ought to be. For the truth certainly would do well enough if she were once left to shift for herself. She seldom has received and, I fear, never will receive much assistance from the power of great men, to whom she is but rarely known and more rarely welcome. She is not taught by laws, nor has she any need of force to procure her entrance into the minds of men. Errors, indeed, prevail by the assistance of foreign and borrowed succours. But if Truth makes not her way into the understanding by her own light, she will be but the weaker for any borrowed force violence can add to her. Thus much for speculative opinions. Let us now proceed to practical ones. A good life, in which consist not the least part of religion and true piety, concerns also the civil government; and in it lies the safety both of men’s souls and of the commonwealth. Moral actions belong, therefore, to the jurisdiction both of the outward and inward court; both of the civil and domestic governor;

A good life, in which consist not the least part of religion and true piety, concerns also the civil government; and in it lies the safety both of men’s souls and of the commonwealth. Moral actions belong, therefore, to the jurisdiction both of the outward and inward court; both of the civil and domestic governor; I mean both of the magistrate and conscience. Day 46, Page 27a, according to the PDF, Thursday, April 24, 2025. 'Extra Addition: John Locke's Government Treatise: A Letter Concerning Toleration". Straightforward and self-explanatory. Basic salvation and living by our conscience, not by man-made laws and rules. http://fs2.american.edu/dfagel/www/Philosophers/Locke/Letter%20Concerning%20Toleratin%20PDF.pdf
Day 47

PG HERE, Friday, April 25, 2025, Extra Addition: "A Letter Concerning Toleration." Day 47, 27b and 28a according to PDF. But besides their souls, which are immortal, men have also their temporal lives here upon earth; the state whereof being frail and fleeting, and the duration uncertain, they have need of several outward conveniences to the support thereof, which are to be procured or preserved by pains and industry. For those things that are necessary to the comfortable support of our lives are not the spontaneous products of nature, nor do offer themselves fit and prepared for our use. This part, therefore, draws on another care and necessarily gives another employment. But the pravity of mankind being such that they had rather injuriously prey upon the fruits of other men’s labours than take pains to provide for themselves, the necessity of preserving men in the possession of what honest industry has already acquired and also of preserving their liberty and strength, whereby they may acquire what they farther want, obliges men to enter into society with one another, that by mutual assistance and joint force they may secure unto each other their properties, in the things that contribute to the comfort and happiness of this life, leaving in the meanwhile to every man the care of his own eternal happiness, the attainment whereof can neither be facilitated by another man’s industry, nor can the loss of it turn to another man’s prejudice, nor the hope of it be forced from him by any external violence. But, forasmuch as men thus entering into societies,grounded upon their mutual compacts of assistance for the defence of their temporal goods, may, nevertheless, be deprived of them, either by the rapine and fraud of their fellow citizens, or by the hostile violence of foreigners, the remedy of this evil consists in arms, riches, and multitude of citizens; the remedy of the other in laws; and the care of all things relating both to one and the other is committed by the society to the civil magistrate. This is the original, this is the use, and these are the bounds of the legislative (which is the supreme) power in every commonwealth. I mean that provision may be made for the security of each man’s private possessions; for the peace, riches, and public commodities of the whole people; and, as much as possible, for the increase of their inward strength against foreign invasions.nd of the things that belong unto this life is the business of the commonwealth;
DAY 48

PG here. Good evening. BLOG ON ISAIAH 58 MINISTRIES: "#4 Page 25 pdf Extra Addition John Locke's Government Treatise: A Letter Concerning Toleration, TODAY IS DAY 48, PAGE 28b PDF ON BLOG. These things being thus explained, it is easy to understand to what end the legislative power ought to be directed and by what measures regulated; and that is the temporal good and outward prosperity of the society; which is the sole reason of men’s entering into society, and the only thing they seek and aim at in it. And it is also evident what liberty remains to men in
reference to their eternal salvation, and that is that every one should do what he in his conscience is persuaded to be acceptable to the Almighty, on whose good pleasure and acceptance depends their eternal happiness. For obedience is due, in the first place, to God and, afterwards to the laws. But some may ask: “What if the magistrate should enjoin anything by his authority that appears unlawful to the conscience of a private person?” I answer that, if government be faithfully administered and the counsels of the magistrates be indeed directed to the public good, this will seldom happen. But if, perhaps, it do so fall out, I say, that such a private person is to abstain from the action that he judges unlawful, and he is to undergo the punishment which it is not unlawful for him to bear. For the private judgement of any person concerning a law enacted in political matters, for the public good, does not take away the obligation of that law, nor deserve a dispensation. But if the law, indeed, be concerning things that lie not within the verge of the magistrate’s authority (as, for example, that the people, or any party amongst them, should be compelled to embrace a strange religion, and join in the worship and ceremonies of another Church), men are not in these cases obliged by that law, against their consciences. For the political society is instituted for no other end, but only to secure every man’s possession of the things of this life. The care of each man’s soul and of the things of heaven, which neither does belong to the commonwealth nor can be subjected to it, is left entirely to every man’s self. Thus the safeguard of men’s lives and of the things that belong unto this life is the business of the commonwealth;
DAY 49

1.) PG here, Day 49, Page 29a according to the PDF, "A Letter Concerning Toleration." John is laying out the part the magistrate or government plays between someone's property and religion. The government's role is to protect a person's property. If a judge does not like his religion, the judge has no say in the matter and can not take someone's property or be prejudiced against the person. In 1689?? When this was written, judges could put people to death for their religion, and their bodies were their property. What if the judge does wrong? It is up to God Alone. When you were a child, 1, 2, and 3, right and wrong were strongly on your conscience. 2.) You just knew if someone did something wrong, something bad would happen to them. God wrote this into each person's mind and heart. As we grow, it becomes dull and foggy, they say. We must pray for God to help us get that clear vision or great faith of a child back. Jesus said you must become like a child to enter the kingdom of God or have heaven on earth. Suffer the children to come unto me, for theirs is the Kingdom of God. Do you understand what he is saying???????   http://fs2.american.edu/dfagel/www/Philosophers/Locke/Letter%20Concerning%20Toleratin%20PDF.pdf

DAY 50

1.) PG here, Monday, April 28, 2025, Page 29b according to the PDF, "Of A Letter Concerning Toleration." Written by John Locke. The fact is when the righteous are in power, the people are happy, suffering ends, and the righteous shut down those who enjoy the suffering of others. There are hundreds of thousands of people who enjoy watching others cry, feel pain, heartbreak, etc. so much they cause others to suffer on purpose. Once they catch their prey in a cage, a snare, or a box, they torture them night and day, day and night. 

The Amish or Pilgrims call them the strangers. That is what they are; they are not a part of the body of Christ. It could be you, your friend, or your neighbor. We are surrounded by suffering because we are surrounded by others who like and enjoy it when others suffer. It is called witchcraft. They purposely disturb the peace of mind of others, screaming, yelling, fighting, raising their voices, and insisting they are right, all to cause others to fear them, believe their lies, put people into a trance, and cause a state of shock. Societies are formed to protect the minds of men from these witches; they even use snake venom, poisons, etc. Their words are not inspired by God, so they are poisonous, and so are their actions, deeds, and drinks.


 It seems most conservatives have this same problem: violence, verbal violence, and anger because they tolerate wickedness in themselves and in others. Did you know that a man can not even talk to a woman unless he gets permission from her parents? Why? 

Women fall in love with anyone easily. It is a job of the mother and father to look to her future. Make sure if she marries someone, she will be blessed and never suffer. She marries someone with the heart of a lion to fight off anyone who would cause her any suffering, even he himself if he has the capacity to harm his wife or children. 

Today in America, women have to work. The Bible calls this an "affliction" because women are "to be keepers at home" and not in an affair, in bed with another partner or individual, seeing how to please others instead of God her Father. Pornography has their husbands in adulterous affairs with women showing off their naked bodies to men around the world, causing them to lose their minds and their capacity to fight off predators. This is all extreme suffering for women and children. Evil is tolerated while the freedom of this kind of true religion is suppressed. A man must prove he can fight lions, bears, and the most evil and work diligently without reservation to make sure his wife and children never have to suffer and go without Jesus' perfect peace on their souls. Women know their husbands are working with God, with the power of God's Holy Spirit to protect them and provide for them. Through justice they receive safety and security, and they know they will never suffer. That is the power and assurance of God's perfect love towards mankind. 
DAY 51

PG here Tuesday, April 29, 2025, Day 51, page 30a of 40 according to the PDF. "A Letter Concerning Toleration." Prerogative was the word for today's reading of John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government and A Letter Concerning Toleration." A leader's, or supreme executive's, prerogative. The letter of the law kills, it is the spirit or purpose, reason for, or goal, like justice, that brings life. Prerogative is the word for this reading also.

30a: Another more secret evil, but more dangerous to the commonwealth, is when men arrogate to themselves, and to those of their own sect, some peculiar prerogative covered over with a specious show of deceitful words, but in effect opposite to the civil right of the community. For example: we cannot find any sect that teaches, expressly and openly, that men are not obliged to keep their promise; that princes may be dethroned by those that differ from them in religion; or that the dominion of all things belongs only to themselves. For these things, proposed thus nakedly and plainly, would soon draw on them the eye and hand of the magistrate and awaken all the care of the commonwealth to a watchfulness against the spreading of so dangerous an evil. But, nevertheless, we find those that say the same things in other words. What else do they mean who teach that faith is not to be kept with heretics? Their meaning, forsooth, is that the privilege of breaking faith belongs unto themselves; for they declare all that are not of their communion to be heretics, or at least may declare them so whensoever they think fit. What can be the meaning of their asserting that kings excommunicated forfeit their crowns and kingdoms? It is evident that they thereby arrogate unto themselves the power of deposing kings, because they challenge the power of excommunication, as the peculiar right of their hierarchy. That dominion is founded in grace is also an assertion by which those that maintain it do plainly lay claim to the possession of all things. To be continued 30b Wednesday, April 30, 2025.
DAY 52

PG here Wednesday , April 30, 2025, Day 52, Page 30b of 40 according to PDF. Extra Addition John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government and A Letter Concerning Toleration" Dover Thrift Edition. Terms and definitions from 1680s: "Mahometan" is an older, somewhat outdated term for someone who follows the Islamic religion, ecclesiastical:relating to the Christian Church or its clergy, communion:1.) the sharing or exchanging of intimate thoughts and feelings, especially when the exchange is on a mental or spiritual level. 2.the service of Christian worship at which bread and wine ae consecrated and shared. Ipso facto is a Latin term meaning “by the fact itself” “by that very fact or act” or “for this fact alone”. The terms "frivolous" and "fallacious" both describe something that is not serious or accurate, but they have slightly different connotations. "Frivolous" implies something lighthearted, trivial, or not worthy of serious consideration, while "fallacious" implies something is logically flawed or deceptive, often due to an error in reasoning. Last couple of sentences meaning: Men are accountable to God who will punish them or reward them ***.Nor does the frivolous and fallacious distinction between the Court and the Church afford any remedy to this inconvenience; especially when both the one and the other are equally subject to the absolute authority of the same person, who has not only power to persuade the members of his Church towhatsoever he lists, either as purely religious, or in order thereunto, but..... 31a: can also enjoin it them on pain of eternal fire. fs2.american.edu/dfagel/www/Philosophers/Locke/Letter%20Concerning%20Toleratin%20PDF.pdf

DAY 53

PG here, May 1, 2025, page 31a of 40 according to the PDF, Day 53. ... "A Letter Concerning Toleration." Written in the 1670s, so the language and conversation are hard to understand. The written word is anointed by God, and his spirit will enlighten your understanding. ... between the Court and the Church afford any remedy to this inconvenience; especially when both the one and the other are equally subject to the absolute authority of the same person, who has not only power to persuade the members of his Church to whatsoever he lists, either as purely religious, or in order thereunto, but can also enjoin it them on pain of eternal fire. It is ridiculous for any one to profess himself to be a Mahometan only in his religion, but in everything else a faithful subject to a Christian magistrate, whilst at the same time he acknowledges himself bound to yield blind obedience to the Mufti of Constantinople, who himself is entirely obedient to the Ottoman Emperor and frames the feigned oracles of that religion according to his pleasure. But this Mahometan living amongst Christians would yet more apparently renounce their government if he acknowledged the same person to be head of his Church who is the supreme magistrate in the state. Lastly, those are not at all to be tolerated who deny the being of a God. Promises, covenants, and oaths, which are the bonds of human society, can have no hold upon an atheist. The taking away of God, though but even in thought, dissolves all; besides also, those that by their atheism undermine and destroy all religion, can have no pretence of religion whereupon to challenge the privilege of a toleration. As for other practical opinions, though not absolutely free from all error, if they do not tend to establish domination over others, or civil impunity to the Church in which they are taught, there can be no reason why they should not be tolerated. It remains that I say something concerning those assemblies which, being vulgarly called and perhaps having sometimes been conventicles and nurseries of factions and seditions, are thought to afford against this doctrine of toleration. But this has not happened by anything peculiar unto the genius of such assemblies, but by the unhappy circumstances of an oppressed or ill-settled liberty.
DAY 54

PG here. An Extra Addition "A Letter Concerning Toleration" by John Locke. One-half a page a day. About 40 pages; this is 31b of 40 according to the PDF, It is day 54. Toleration of men's conscience beliefs in the assembly of believers in churches. ***Liberty of conscience is every man's right.*** Ohio's conscience has this written into it.




Note: Separation of Church and State was written to someone in Ohio who did not want the government interfering with his religion. But religion can interfere in government and is the cornerstone of government: all liberties come from Jesus Christ, and the gospel is the power from which these liberties are secured. Given to us through Jesus Christ's salvation and freedom from sin or freedom from committing crimes.














#1 MOST IMPORTANT RIGHT OF ALL MEN RIGHT UP FRONT! FREEDOM OF RELIGION GOVERNMENT IS APART OF EVERYONE'S RELIGION. RELIGION IS WHERE OUR MORALS AND ALL LAWS COME FROM. IT IS WHAT A PERSON BELIEVES DEEP DOWN IN THEIR CONSCIENCE. GOVERNMENT CAN NOT STOP PEOPLE FROM EXERCISING THEIR RELIGION IN ANY PLACE IN GOVERNMENT AND IN AMERICA. THE FOUNDING OF THIS COUNTRY WAS MEN EXERCISING THEIR FREEDOM OF RELIGION. PUTTING DOWN ON PAPER THEIR FAITH IN GOD AND WHAT THEY BELIEVED. READ JOHN LOCKE ALONG WITH ME AND A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE DAILY. YOU WILL MEET THE MAKER OF ALL GOVERNMENTS OF ALL THINGS SEEN AND UNSEEN.


https://www.hymnsite.com/AmericanHistory.html Patrick Henry, who is called the firebrand of the American Revolution, is still remembered for his words, "Give me liberty or give me death"; but in current textbooks, the context of these words is omitted. Here is what he actually said: "An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us. But we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God that presides over the destinies of nations. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone. Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death." These sentences have been erased from our textbooks. Was Patrick Henry a Christian?


The following year, 1776, he wrote this: "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great Nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here."

Consider these words that Thomas Jefferson wrote in the front of his well-worn Bible: "I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our whole country will soon be rallied to the unity of our creator." He was also the chairman of the American Bible Society, which he considered his highest and most important role.

On July 4, 1821, President Adams said, "The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: It connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity."


Calvin Coolidge, our 30th President of the United States reaffirmed this truth when he wrote, "The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country."

In 1782, the United States Congress voted this resolution: "The Congress of the United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools."


William Holmes McGuffey is the author of the McGuffey Reader which was used for over 100 years in our public schools, with over 125 million copies sold, until it was stopped in 1963. President Lincoln called him the "Schoolmaster of the Nation." Listen to these words of Mr. McGuffey: "The Christian religion is the religion of our country. From it are derived our nation, on the character of God, on the great moral Governor of the universe. On its doctrines are founded the peculiarities of our free Institutions. From no source has the author drawn more conspicuously than from the sacred Scriptures. For all these extracts from the Bible, I make no apology."

Of the first 108 universities founded in America, 106 were distinctly Christian, including the first, Harvard University, chartered in 1636. In the original Harvard Student Handbook, rule number 1 was that students seeking entrance must know Latin and Greek so that they could study the Scriptures: "Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of his life and studies is to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life, John 17:3; and therefore to lay Jesus Christ as the only foundation for our children to follow the moral principles of the Ten Commandments."

James Madison, the primary author of the Constitution of the United States, said this: "We have staked the whole future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern ourselves according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments."
DAY 55

PG here, Saturday, May 3rd, 2025, Day 55, 32a of 40 according to the PDF. ***"A Letter Concerning Toleration"*** an extra addition to John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government." This reading is self-explanatory. A magistrate, a government official, a judge, a lawyer, or a police officer—someone in society treats the people he goes to church with really well, but he is prejudiced towards people who go to different churches. He treats them poorly, unfairly. He is afraid of them; they are dangerous to him because he is cruel to them. John Locke is telling them to turn the tables, treat them like his own congregation equally, and he doesn't need to be afraid of them. Reading in pic Above. Words below.  Side note: True religion and undefiled is to take care of a widow or a child without a father. If you want to love someone, find a good loving mother who isn't married and provide for her and her children. Doctors, dentists, eyeglasses, a small apartment room and board, shoes, clothing, food, water, electricity, a car, money, and homeschool necessities. No woman should feel forced to marry someone like a prostitute to be provided for and stay home and love and be with her children while they are growing up. She can not do anything for you. She is to teach and raise her own children. That is charity work. But never, never, never, take in a man who can do things for you that is defilement of your flesh, your soul, your mind, body, spirit, and emotions. It is very harmful to your health. A man's head must be Jesus Christ; he must trust God to provide for him. That is the love of God. If the woman feels safe, she might fall in love and marry someone that is kind to her and really loves her and wants to protect and provide for her. 
32a..As if an agreement in matters of religion were in effect a conspiracy against the commonwealth; or as if men would not be so much the more warmly unanimous in religion the less liberty they had of assembling. But it will be urged still that civil assemblies are open and free for any one to enter into, whereas religious conventicles are more private and thereby give opportunity to clandestine machinations. I answer that this is not strictly true, for many civil assemblies are not open to everyone. And if some religious meetings be private, who are they (I beseech you) that are to be blamed for it, those that desire, or those that forbid their being public! Again, you will say that religious communion does exceedingly unite men’s minds and affections to one another and is therefore the more dangerous. But if this be so, why is not the magistrate afraid of his own Church; and why does he not forbid their assemblies as things dangerous to his Government? You will say because he himself is a part and even the head of them. As if he were not also a part of the commonwealth, and the head of the whole people! Let us therefore deal plainly. The magistrate is afraid of other Churches, but not of his own, because he is kind and favourable to the one, but severe and cruel to the other. These he treats like children, and indulges them even to wantonness. Those he uses as slaves and, how blamelessly soever they demean themselves, recompenses them no otherwise than by galleys, prisons, confiscations, and death. These he cherishes and defends; those he continually scourges and oppresses. Let him turn the tables. Or let those dissenters enjoy but the same privileges in civils as his other subjects, and he will quickly find that these religious meetings will be no longer dangerous.

PG Here, Saturday, April 19, 2025, I took the day to put plants outside right before Easter and Passover. May the life of Christ fill your mind, body, and soul and kick or cast out the spirit of death. May the Spirit of Death see your faith in the blood of the spotless, sinless lamb, Jesus Christ, and may the temptation of sin that leads to death pass over you.
THE PROTECTION OF Property Is WHY GOVERNMENT EXIST It is the most IMPORTANT requirement of any government, parental, society, city, county, state, federal, or any department. Day 67, Pages 65 and 66, "Of The Extent of the Legislative Power Sect. 139. But government, into whatsoever hands it is put, being, as I have before shewed, intrusted with this condition, and for this end, that men might have and secure their properties, the prince, or senate, however it may have power to make laws, for the regulating of property between the subjects one amongst another, yet can never have a power to take to themselves the whole, or any part of the subjects property, without their own consent:for this would be in effect to leave them no property at all.

Sect. 140. It is true, governments cannot be supported without great charge, and it is fit every one who enjoys his share of the protection, should pay out of his estate his proportion for the maintenance of it. But still it must be with his own consent, i.e. the consent of the majority, giving it either by themselves, or their representatives chosen by them: for if any one shall claim a power to lay and levy taxes on the people, by his own authority, and without such consent of the people, he thereby invades the fundamental law of property, and subverts the end of government: for what property have I in that which another may by right take, when he pleases, to himself?





DAY 68

PG here, Patriot Gallery Resistance Chicks Mother. April 20, 2025, Sunday, Day 68, Pages 65 and 66, Chapter 11 "Of The Extent of Legislative Power." Happy Easter! "Happy is the man whose sins are forgiven; now he sins no more." How can a man not sin? #1 Commandment Love God with all that is in you. With your heart, soul, and body, every word is pleasing to God, every action is pleasing to God, and all you can think is, How do I please God?" Matthew 22:36-40 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government and Letter Concerning Toleration" is teaching everyone to obey the first commandment. Our happiness depends on knowing this, and so does our neighbors.

The Gospel is about government. Jesus came to establish his kingdom on this earth. Scripture: "The government shall be on his shoulders." On this Easter Celebration, Repent from sin. From this day forward, seek his kingdom and his will to be done on earth by all men. To love and worship God and have what William called brotherly love. Philadelphia, Love your neighbor. Seek his happiness as well as your own. Sections 141 and 142 explain that the people get their power from Almighty God. The representatives of the people can not give that power over to someone else, like the Federal Reserve System or a different department of government that does not represent the people.

You, the people, are the government when you are pleasing God. Or it is pleasing to God when you submit to God and resist the Devil, and he will flee. Hence Resistance Chicks. Resistance to tyranny, a government not made by God through the good works of the people because of their faith in God, is obedience to God. Do not submit to the government or their sins. Obey God, and love and worship him only. Then you are having brotherly love. Philadelphia. Excerpt from 140, taking back power through God's law, sound mind, and wisdom: ***...if any one shall claim a power to lay and levy taxes on the people, by his own authority, and without such consent of the people, he thereby invades the fundamental law of property, and subverts the end of government: for what property have I in that, which another may by right take, when he pleases, to himself...***

Excerpt from 141 and 142: ***....The power of the legislative, being derived from the people by a positive voluntary grant and institution, can be no other than what that positive grant conveyed, which being only to make laws, and not to make legislators, the legislative can have no power to transfer their authority of making laws, and place it in other hands.

Sect. 142. These are the bounds which the trust, that is put in them by the society, and the law of God and nature, have set to the legislative power of every commonwealth, in all forms of government. First, They are to govern by promulgated established laws, not to be varied in particular cases, but to have one rule for rich and poor, for the favourite at court, and the country man at plough. Secondly, These laws also ought to be designed for no other end ultimately, but the good of the people....***

Right now the people can not not do anything. That is death. Everyone has the right to Life. How can I say this? I am looking out the window; ten to twenty vultures are finding some dead animal in the ditch. Where the vultures are, that is where the carcass is. Right now, where the government is dead, it is full of vultures eating off its dead flesh. That is we, the people. Jesus came to give us a government, his Kingdom, Life and life more abundantly.



DAY 69

PG here, Monday, April 21, 2025, Day 69, Chapter 12, sections 143, 144, and 145, pages 66 and 67 of John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government and A Letter Concerning Toleration." "Of the Legislative, Executive, and Federative Power of the Commonwealth." A review from Easter's reading. Why Jesus died and rose again is so all men can be free. Free from their own sin and the crimes of others. Sin is just another name for a crime or corruption; someone did something they had no right to do. Government is formed to be the representative of all the people in the protection of property. Property is your peace of mind. Police officers are to stop those who disturb the peace. Let alone terrorism. When men are free from sin, they are sound-minded, full of the love and truth of God's life in them. Men are born of his Holy Spirit. God resides in men in the form of the Father, the Son (the word of God), and the Holy Spirit. Men listen to one voice, one king. That is God in them.

Government can not do what it wants; it must be like Jesus. Jesus is the mouthpiece of God the Father. Government must not have anything to do with the men or itself. It must be the voice of the people in unity with God our Heavenly Father. This is how the Pilgrims, the forefathers, William Penn, and the Founding Fathers became our fathers. They are the voice of God our Father in heaven. The people and their representatives represent the One Father, Creator of all men. They must represent what is good, honest, and true for all men and pleasing to God our Father. Easter excerpt: ***The Gospel is about government. Jesus came to establish his kingdom on this earth. Scripture: "The government shall be on his shoulders."***On this Easter Celebration, Repent from sin. From this day forward, seek his kingdom and his will to be done on earth by all men. To love and worship God and have what William called brotherly love. Philadelphia, Love your neighbor. Seek his happiness as well as your own. Sections 141 and 142 explain that the people get their power from Almighty God. The representatives of the people can not give that power over to someone else, like the Federal Reserve System or a different department of government that does not represent the people. A new chapter, just two pages. Read today's, 143 and 144, and I will give a commentary on all 6 sections and the title tomorrow. It is basic. Laws are to be so simple and straightforwardly honest that men only go to Congress a very few times as lawmakers as representatives, while other branches are to execute and enforce with force the laws enacted by the people through their representatives.

Day 70

PG here, Shocker It is Day 70 of reading a page a day of John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government and A Letter of Toleration." I am hoping to get done in about 100 days. There are 111 pages in the first half. April 22, 2025, Chapter 12, Sections 146, 147, and 148, and pages 67 and 68. "Of Legislative, Executive, and Federative Power of the Commonwealth." John Locke is defining words and their meanings. In the world, you would say job description, reason, meaning, purpose, and execution of said word or office. In Chapter 11 we learned more about the legislative body representing the people. These representatives are under the authority of the people who called upon them to represent them. The people are their boss. The legislature must speak about what the people want them to speak about and write the laws the people want to govern them. All laws must be for the common good; hence, the word "commonwealth means all the people gathered into something like a fort, a society for the protection of their property. Here John is writing about the execution of the written laws. It must be a separate body because those writing the laws might make it so they do not have to obey the laws they force on others, like DC does. In the last 125 years, since the turn of the last century, the legislative branch went astray from its job description, and so the other branches followed in kind. Just pulling laws and execution out of the air as if there was not a supreme God in heaven to whom each person is accountable. Since they can forsake their God-given calling, they believe all Americans are capable of such atrocities, mainly greed and domination using witchcraft, black magic, Satanism, child sacrifice, and abortion (the darkest of the darkest arts). Somewhere in their thinking they believe it is impossible to be transformed into a new creation from sinner to saint, that people are not restrained by a higher power than themselves. Submitting to, believing and obeying only God himself. They are gravely mistaken. There is only one God, and that is our heavenly Creator. All men must call on Jesus Christ to save them from their sinful state they are born into. Through Jesus Christ, our Heavenly Father, all men must obey God. Please read the picture. Sections 146, 147, and 148.

DAY 71 

PG here, Wednesday, April 3, 2025, Reading Day 71, Chapter 13, Sections 149 and 150 on pages 68 and 69 of John Locke's Second Treatise of Government and A Letter Concerning Toleration. I left on the picture last week's quote, section 123: "Nothing can make any man so, but his actually entering into it by positive engagement and express promise and compact. This is that, which I think, concerning the beginning of political societies, and that consent which makes anyone a member of any commonwealth."

I have been having very, very positive thoughts come to mind lately. I recall that in every chapter John Locke mentions positive engagement, positive express promise and compact, and positive consent for the preservation of property. Wow! The Bible tells us when someone is anointed by God, their words are inspired by God and full of the Holy Spirit of Truth. Rivers of living water come running out of their innermost being. The Gospel of John youtube.com/watch?v=_e1A9Hy2TCI&t=6638s

John 7:37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as[a] the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” 39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. 
Just yesterday I partially watched the 2003 movie The Gospel of John. The movie focuses a lot of time on this very chapter and subject. Jesus has this power, and he gives it to the people. But God will always be God and have the power. He can take it from people, or they can turn their backs on God and no longer be connected to God, the source of power. This chapter talks about how the people retain political power in themselves. If those chosen to represent them become insubordinate to the ends as to why the people shared their power with mere men to make laws and enforce them, the people take back their power. Link to e-book: english.hku.hk/staff/kjohnson/PDF/LockeJohnSECONDTREATISE1690.pdf

Excerpt from section 149: ............And thus the community perpetually retains a supreme power of saving themselves from the attempts and designs of any body, even of their legislators, whenever they shall be so foolish, or so wicked, as to lay and carry on designs against the liberties and properties of the subject: for no man or society of men, having a power to deliver up their preservation, or consequently the means of it, to the absolute will and arbitrary dominion of another; when ever any one shall go about to bring them into such a slavish condition, they will always have a right to preserve, what they have not a power to part with; and to rid themselves of those, who invade this fundamental, sacred, and unalterable law of

selfpreservation, for which they entered into society. And thus the community may be said in this respect to be always the supreme power, but not as considered under any form of government, because this power of the people can never take place till the government be dissolved. Section 150 directs that the legislature has the supreme power to make laws but only as representatives of the people, speaking and acting on behalf of the people. If they presume to put the people into slavery, then ***the people who retain all political/societal/legislative power*** (written into the Ohio Constitution) take back the power they have given these mere men.*** John Locke's words are so anointed, extremely full of the living water Jesus talks about. The reading actually opens the eyes of the blind and fills men with the Holy Spirit, with the divine truth. It sets people free. Now I am holding onto these very, very positive, truth-filled, intelligent words from God in my mind.

Listening to people ***without any anointing*** will make everyone have ***negative results*** all around, full of love of the world. The world loves its own, and unity with one another is to be afraid and sin. Which is what was taught in the 70s about positive thinking. An occult.
 It did not set anyone free but made men go mad and become extremely greedy. Think and grow rich.Continue every day reading John Locke, the Pilgrims, the Founding Fathers, William Penn, etc. Men who 
actually made a change moved to America and started a new nation. Used their physical bodies in labor and in war. 
  
DAY 72

PG here, Thursday, April 24, 2025, Day 72 reading John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government and A Letter of Toleration," Chapter 13, "Of The Subordination of the Powers of the Common-wealth." Sections 151 and 152 of pages 69 and 70 If you have studied common law, it is the law of the commonwealth. A group of people united with one voice to make their own laws in which all people consent to live in subordination to. Section 151 is about a single person invested with power to make laws and execute them. He brings himself down as supreme power when he does things for himself instead of for the goodwill of the people. The goodwill of the people is the declared laws they have made through their representatives according to God's Laws, the Laws of Nature. The preservation of property being the end of things.

Excerpt 151: ***the public person vested with the power of the law, and so is to be considered as the image, phantom, or representative of the commonwealth, acted by the will of the society, declared in its laws; and thus he has no will, no power, but that of the law. But when he quits this representation, this public will, and acts by his own private will, he degrades himself, and is but a single private person without power, and without will, that has any right to obedience; the members owing no obedience but to the public will of the society.*** 

Section 152 has limits on the supreme powers. As seen in the United States Constitution. The Tenth Amendment Rights Reserved to the States and the People. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Excerpt of section 152: ***that they have no manner of authority, any of them, beyond what is by positive grant and commission delegated to them, and are all of them accountable to some other power in the commonwealth.***

DAY 73

PG here, Patriot Gallery Resistance Chicks, Mom. 73 days ago The thought came to mind to post a page a day from John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government and A Letter of Toleration." I guessed it would take about 100 days, which isn't very long for a book review. This is a very short book. Because it was written 300 years ago, its meaning is almost impossible to understand by the modern man. Today's humanity has been dumbed down by a lack of communication with God, a lack of a great dependence on God for life, liberty, and happiness, and machines doing all the calculated and physical labor. All men have to do is hit buttons, which dumbs down the minds of men so they are only using 10 % of their brain's capacity.

In order for the people to work as one, we have to understand government the only right way. Or we are like the Tower of Babel. Our languages have been confused by the Devil this time. We have to break off into groups that have the understanding we have. It may be English, but the meaning of the words is always being changed according to the dominating hierarchical structure. An example is that in true English, the Gulf of Mexico is a gulf to Mexico. Plain English. Or a boy is a boy, and a girl is a girl. Evil people are using witchcraft, black magic, spells, delusions, and executive force that John writes about, always confusing the language to weaken the intelligence of the people. Men and women do this to the people; they may do it out of being a criminal genius or out of a true stupidity of the real meaning of English words. Chapter 113, "Of Subordination of the Powers of the Commonwealth, sections 149 and 150, pages 70 and 71 This two section just lay out basic common sense administrations of government with added that if anyone is found guilty of mal-administration or, in modern terms malfeasance, (wrongdoing, especially by a public official) against the laws or neglect, there is to be a trial and a punishment. Read these two sections in the picture or online under a PDF of the book. From time to time I share the blog address in which I am keeping each day's posts with commentary. https://isaiah58ministries.blogspot.com/2025/04/8-john-locke-stogwalct-starting-at-end.htm
DAY 74

PG here, Patriot Gallery Resistance Chick's mom. Saturday April 26, 2025, Chapter 13, Sections 155 and 156, pages 71 and 72, Day 74, John Locke's "The Second Treatise of Government" The Bible tells us God is not the author of confusion. Let everything be done in an orderly manner. 1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.......40 Let all things be done honestly, and by order.
***OF THE SUBORDINATION OF THE POWERS OF THE COMMON-WEALTH***  This chapter is on subordination. Or job description, power, and authority. Limited to whom? Chapter 13, sections 155 and 156, are a little longer but delve into the leader, government, prime minister, head of the senate, or congress being those who call the legislative body together or call on an election to be held. These leaders are equal but not above others. If they refuse to do this job, the people themselves must call on an election or an assembly to decide laws that are needed for the public good. We can not have lawlessness or laws legalizing crime and criminals. Laws can not favor any group above another. The money laws can not be unjust weights and balances; they can not be unfair, unjust non-equality of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The fiat system of money, today's banking, is a slavery system, a system of debt. Cashier's checks, deposits, loans, mortgages, and financial instrumentation are all unjust and unfair, thus saith the spirit of the Lord! Congress had no right and could not convene on a cold December night and pass the Federal Reserve Act for the above reasons. Men getting together to legalize crime, criminals, lawlessness, and injustice. Only gold and silver coins are just and fair weights and balances and the only legal tender in America. Article 1, section 10. Taxes can only be done in gold and silver coins. Article 1, section 8. 

Sect. 155. It may be demanded here, What if the executive power, being possessed of the force of the commonwealth, shall make use of that force to hinder the meeting and acting of the legislative, when the original constitution, or the public exigencies require it? I say, using force upon the people without authority, and contrary to the trust put in him that does so, is a state of war with the people, who have a right to reinstate their legislative in the exercise of their power: for having erected a legislative, with an intent they should exercise the power of making laws, either at certain set times, or when there is need of it, when they are hindered by any force from what is so necessary to the society, and wherein the safety and preservation of the people consists, the people have a right to remove it by force. In allstates and conditions, the true remedy of force without authority, is to oppose force to it. The use of force without authority, always puts him that uses it into a state of war, as the aggressor, and renders him liable to be treated accordingly. 

Sect. 156. The power of assembling and dismissing the legislative, placed in the executive, gives not the executive a superiority over it, but is a fiduciary trust placed in him, for the safety of the people, in a case where the uncertainty and variableness of human affairs could not bear a steady fixed rule:for it not being possible, that the first framers of the government should, by any foresight, be so much masters of future events, as to be able to prefix so just periods of return and duration to the assemblies of the legislative, in all times to come, that might exactly answer 

all the exigencies of the commonwealth; the best remedy could be found for this defect, was to trust this to the prudence of one who was always to be present, and whose business it was to watch over the public good...........................................

PG here, I wrote these, and John Locke is confirming my right, duty and my responsipility to write these. https://isaiah58ministries.blogspot.com/2017/01/the-peoples-movement-executive-order.html Executive Order # 1 January 20, 2017 Honesty In Government and The People All government employees, all who collect any kind of payment from the American people, officials, CIA, FBI, from president to temporary employee, to anyone who receives a government grant, welfare check, military payment, or payment for goods and services provided. foreign aid, any kind of contract, etc. Must be honest with the American People! Public Notice Executive Order #1 Honesty In Government and The People The People's Movement Executive Order Public School is: 13 years of Satanic Ritualistic abuse, hypnotizing, and filling United States citizens with lies! Satanic power against the people to enslave...This experimentation on our lives and torturing our minds with these lies, is punishable by death! It takes the power of God's love and the Truth that comes from the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ, God's chosen "King", to set us free! https://isaiah58ministries.blogspot.com/search?q=Executive+Order+#1+ If you are forced into slavery by those lying to you, then you are no longer free to have a life or personal property. The dollar bill, which is wealth that doesn't exist because it is made by printing it, is a mere illusion of money and puts people into slavery

DAY 75

A Phrase to remember everywhere... ***The Laws and Principles of God, through Jesus Christ's Salvation.*** Sect. 158. ***Salus populisuprema lex,*** Salus populi suprema lex esto (Latin: "The health [welfare, good, salvation, felicity] of the people should be the supreme law"; "Let the good [or safety] of the people be the supreme [or highest] law" PG here, Sunday, April 27, 2025, Chapter 13, Section 157, Pages 72 and 73, Day 75 of reading one page a day of John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government and A Letter Concerning Toleration." Over time, governments became unequal and full of gross absurdities. Being the supreme power of society, it appears no inferior power can alter it or bring a remedy. No horses, (transportation) or farms to be found, desolate of life. America today.


A sheepcote is a pen or covered enclosure for sheep, primarily used in British English as a synonym for "sheepfold". It's essentially a fenced-in area, sometimes with a roof, designed to keep sheep safe and contained. The term "sheepcote" is also used in some biblical texts to refer to such an enclosure. Sect. 157. Things of this world are in so constant a flux, that nothing remains long in the same state. Thus people, riches, trade, power, change their stations, flourishing mighty cities come to ruin and prove in times neglected desolate corners, whilst other unfrequented places grow into populous countries, filled with wealth and inhabitants. But things not always changing equally, and private interest often keeping up customs and privileges, when the reasons of them are ceased, it often comes to pass, that in governments, where part of the legislative consists of representatives chosen by the people, that in tract of time this representation becomes very unequal and disproportionate to the reasons it was at first established upon. To what gross absurdities the following of custom, when reason has left it, may lead, we may be satisfied, when we see the bare name of a town, of which there remains not so much as the ruins, where scarce so much housing as a sheepcote, or more inhabitants than a shepherd is to be found, sends as many representatives to the grand assembly of law-makers, as a whole county numerous in people, and powerful in riches. This strangers stand amazed at, and every one must confess needs a remedy; tho' most think it hard to find one, because the constitution of the legislative being the original and supreme act of the society, antecedent to all positive laws in it, and depending wholly on the people, no inferior power can alter it. And therefore the people, when the legislative is once constituted, having, in such a government as we have been speaking of, no power to act as long as the government stands; this inconvenience is thought incapable of a remedy. ***The Laws and Principles of God, through Jesus Christ's Salvation.*** ..Sect. 158. Salus populisuprema lex, is certainly so just and fundamental a rule, that he, who sincerely follows it, cannot dangerously err......... Salus populi suprema lex esto (Latin: "The health [welfare, good, salvation, felicity] of the people should be the supreme law"; "Let the good [or safety] of the people be the supreme [or highest] law; [1] or "The welfare of the people shall be the supreme law") is a maxim or principle found in Cicero's De Legibus (book III, part III, sub. VIII).[2]




DAY 76

PG here For Monday April 28, 2025, Chapter 13, section 157, Day 76, page 72, Of John Locke's Second Treatise of Government and a Letter of Toleration. At the conclusion of Chapter 13, we find the remedy to a government that slowly and slipperily slid into chaos, disorder, absurdities, and abuses of power and authority, even forsaking having to pay for everything by using gold and silver coins. No, just get rid of the money and call it junk, worthless. Then print up money, make it against the law to counterfeit their made up money, so Mere, criminal gangsters become the god and do whatever they wil. From Aliester Crowley's Book of the Law, Satanist Bible.

***Today***, We find the Latin Phrase ***Salus populi suprema lex*** John Adams: The OFFICE of the Soveraign, (be it a Monarch, or an Assembly,) consisteth in the end, for which he was trusted with the Soveraign Power, namely the procuration of the Safety Of The People; to which he is obliged by the Law of Nature, and to render an account thereof to God, the Author of that Law, and to none but him. But by Safety here, is not meant a bare Preservation, but also all other Contentments of life, which every man by lawfull Industry, without danger, or hurt to the Common-wealth, shall acquire to himselfe. 

https://medium.com/the-jurisprude/salus-populi-suprema-lex-f6360fd10f1 In the red corner, I present John Locke. For him, the thing is equally clear. Check out chapter 13 of his Second Treatise: Salus populi suprema lex, is certainly so just and fundamental a rule, that he, who sincerely follows it, cannot dangerously err. If therefore the executive, who has the power of convoking the legislative, observing rather the true proportion, than fashion of representation, regulates, not by old custom, but true reason, the number of members, in all places that have a right to be distinctly represented, which no part of the people however incorporated can pretend to, but in proportion to the assistance which it affords to the public, it cannot be judged to have set up a new legislative, but to have restored the old and true one, and to have rectified the disorders which succession of time had insensibly, as well as inevitably introduced… Isn’t he really saying that the legislature is god-given, “old and true”, while the divine right of kings is merely a Johnny-come-lately disorder which only time introduced?

Enter John Adams, a barrister with a sense of humour. He showed up the conundrum in clear language: The public good, the salus populi is the professed end of all government, the most despotic, as well as the most free. What Adams & others did when they were writing the basics for the US state was essentially to rework not only the words but the context of Cicero’s original. The maxim is no longer sage advice to a potential ruler but now a bold assertion that the public good is determined from the perspective of a public who is the ruler. The first words uttered by Charles I at his trial were the majestic Hobbesian “I would know by what power I am called hither.” The Puritans were unable to sustain their answer, but their successors across the Atlantic eventually provided “We the people.” So there.




PG here, Monday, April 28, 2025, Chapter 13, Section 158, Day 76, CHAPTER. XIII. OF THE SUBORDINATION OF THE POWERS OF THE COMMON-WEALTH. We the people under God, as we submit to God and resist the Devil, sin and temptation are the supreme power and authority. Ohio State Constitution 1851: Article I: Bill of Rights Inalienable rights. §1 All men are, by nature, free and independent, and have certain inalienable rights, among which are those of enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and seeking and obtaining happiness and safety. (1851) Right to alter, reform, or abolish government, and repeal special privileges. ***§2 All political power is inherent in the people.*** Government is instituted for their equal protection and benefit, and they have the right to alter, reform, or abolish the same, whenever they may deem it necessary; and no special privileges or immunities shall ever be granted, that may not be altered, revoked, or repealed by the General Assembly
DAY 77

PG here, Tuesday, April 29, 2025, Chapter 14, Section 159, 160, and 161 on pages 74 and 75 on Day 77! Of one page a day, of a little history-changing book of dynamite that topples empires. John Locke's Second Treatise of Government and A Letter Concerning Toleration (Toleration of Religious Freedom of Different Denominations of the Christian Religion). Rise and shine, and let God's glory shine on your countenance.

Prerogative: 1.) a right or privilege exclusive to a particular individual or class. 2.) arising from the prerogative of the Crown (usually delegated to the government or the judiciary) and based in common law rather than statutory law.


The Bible tells us that the letter of the law kills; the "spirit," or purpose for the preservation of property of the law, gives life. This is why computers and A.I. are useless to people. They do not have understanding or emotions. Like Data on Star Trek. Just a bunch of knowledge. It is cold, and cold is harmful to the preservation of property, making computers and A.I. unconstitutional. Government rules and laws are formed for the preservation of man's property. Life, Liberty, and Freedom. But as in communism, it is cold, uncaring, and unfeeling, just "the letter" of the law. No individual choices or freedoms of property. A.I. computers are tyranny and dictatorship; you own nothing. The computer decides who lives, who dies, who has freedoms, who doesn't, etc., in some mathematical equation.

Prerogative adds a sincere love of God with depth of feelings, emotions, and "Human" understanding to leadership. Like a father as head of his family, he sees that no one is suffering and everyone is treated equally and fairly in love for those under his protection, guidance, tutelage, and instruction. It is the father's and mother's prerogative to assess situations and make any necessary changes in normal laws to bring about fairness, justice, and equity. equity: 1.) the quality of being fair and impartial.


Chapter 14, sections 159, 160, and 161 are explaining this. Excerpts: 159......Many things there are, which the law can by no means provide for; and those must necessarily be left to the discretion of him that has the executive power in his hands, to be ordered by him as the public good and advantage shall require: nay, it is fit that the laws themselves should in some cases give way to the executive power, or rather to this fundamental law of nature and government,


Sect. 160. This power to act according to discretion, for the public good, without the prescription of the law, and sometimes even against it, is that which is called prerogative: for since in some governments the lawmaking power is not always in being, and is usually too numerous, and so too slow, for the dispatch requisite to execution; and because also it is impossible to foresee, and so by laws to provide for, all accidents and necessities that may concern the public, or to make such laws as will do no harm, if they are executed with an inflexible rigour, on all occasions, and upon all persons that may come in their way; therefore there is a latitude left to the executive power, to do many things of choice which the laws do not prescribe........


161...... It it is in any tolerable degree employed for the use it was meant, that is, for the good of the people, and not manifestly against it: but if there comes to be a question between the executive power and the people, about a thing claimed as a prerogative; the tendency of the exercise of such prerogative to the good or hurt of the people, will easily decide that question.








PG here, with God... the Declaration of Independence was written to end suffering. Suffering comes from toleration of those who have turned their backs on morality and God's salvation. Turn away from the right road and walk in a huge, wide pathway of sin. Refuse to labor with God in the Garden of Eden, heaven on earth: growing their own food, getting married, raising animals for clothing and food, raising horses for transportation, and using only honest, God-given money—gold and silver coins.








DAY 78

PG here, Wednesday, April 30, 2025. "Of Prerogative," Chapter 14, Sections 162 and 163, Pages 74 and 75, Day 78 of reading 1 page a day of John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government and a Letter of Toleration." This book is so anointed and inspired by God, it helped give the words and meaning to understand the government to create America. The Spirit of God behind these TRUTHS was accomplishing Heaven on Earth by John's friend "William Penn." William Penn was using his faith in God to open up THE FREE WORLD to those who call upon God to save them, and they loved and worshipped God freely!

Sect. 162. It is easy to conceive, that in the infancy of governments, when commonwealths differed
little from families in number of people, they differed from them too but little in number of laws: and the governors, being as the fathers of them, watching over them for their good, the government was almost  all prerogative. A few established laws served the turn, and the discretion and care of the ruler supplied the rest. But when mistake or flattery prevailed with weak princes to make use of this power for private ends of their own, and not for the public good, the people were fain by express laws to get prerogative determined in those points wherein they found disadvantage from it: and thus declared limitations of prerogative were by the people found necessary in cases which they and their ancestors had left, in the utmost latitude, to the wisdom of those princes who made no other but a right use of it, that is, for the
good of their people.

Sect. 163. And therefore they have a very wrong notion of government, who say, that the people  have encroached upon the prerogative, when they have got any part of it to be defined by positive laws: for in so doing they have not pulled from the prince any thing that of right belonged to him, but only declared, that that power which they indefinitely left in his or his ancestors hands, to be exercised for their good, was not a thing which they intended him when he used it otherwise: for the end of government being the good of the community, whatsoever alterations are made in it, tending to that end, cannot be an encroachment upon any body, since no body in government can have a right tending to any other end: and those only are encroachments which prejudice or hinder the public good. Those who say otherwise, speak as if the prince had a distinct and separate interest from the good of the community, and was not made for it; the root and source from which spring almost all those evils and disorders which happen in kingly governments. And indeed, if that be so, the people under his government are not a society of rational creatures, entered into a community for their mutual good; they are not such as have set rulers over themselves, to guard, and promote that good; but are to be looked on as an herd of inferior creatures under the dominion of a master, who keeps them and works them for his own pleasure or profit. If men were so void of reason, and brutish, as to enter into society upon such terms, prerogative might indeed be, what some men would have it, an arbitrary power to do things hurtful to the people.

1.) PG here, Thursday, May 1, 2025, Chapter 14, Sections 164, 165, and 166, Day 79, of reading a page a day of John Locke's Second Treatise of Government with A Letter Concerning Toleration, Dover Thrift Editions. Definition of acquiescing: to accept something reluctantly but without protest. Section 164 is pointing out the obvious: Men do not willingly join a contract, a constitution, or a compact with a society and put themselves under another person's leadership to do them harm unless they are crazy or mentally ill. Prerogative is to be tacitly and rarely used, but only for the wholesome good of the people. 2.) PG Section 165: Only the wisest of men who have set themselves apart from society to diligent study and seek divine perfect wisdom should be chosen as leaders. Very good men to whom nothing matters but to do no harm and seek the best and wisest just laws and ways for everyone. Not in business, greed, getting wealthy, or technology or equipment ***but in depth of life, sincerity, joy and happiness for all men.*** A life of gathering Obtaining the newest, latest, worldliness, fame fortune, etc.; Greed will never be filled, and lust and desires and inventions of technology will never be satisfied. They are like a fire that can never be quenched or put out. A passion burning in minds is driving men insane to do the most evil and vile things. Sin pushes them and is a harsh dictator, ruler of the minds and thoughts. Never-ending black hole to the pit of hell.
DAY 79

PG here, 3.) Excerpt from 165 for a wise leader using his prerogative power: "The people therefore, finding reason to be satisfied with these princes, whenever they acted without, or contrary to the letter of the law, acquiesced in what they did, and, without the least complaint, let them enlarge their prerogative as they pleased, judging rightly, that they did nothing herein to the prejudice of their laws, since they acted conformable to the foundation and end of all laws, the public good."

Section 166: Right in the first sentence shows where great good leaders get their wisdom, like Solomon, King David's son from the Holy Bible. But do great harm if the turn and become evil. Sect. 166. Such god-like princes indeed had some title to arbitrary power by that argument, that would prove absolute monarchy the best government, as that which God himself governs the universe by; because such kings partake of his wisdom and goodness.



4.) PG here, Upon this is founded that saying, That the reigns of good princes have been always most dangerous to the liberties of their people:......excerpts: as if what had been done only for the good of the people was a right in them to do, for the harm of the people, if they so pleased...... right, and get that to be declared not to be prerogative, which truly was never so; since it is impossible that any body in the society should ever have a right to do the people harm; though it be very possible, and reasonable, that the people should not go about to set any bounds to the prerogative of those kings, or rulers, who themselves transgressed not the bounds of the public good: for prerogative is nothing but the power of doing public good without a rule.



DAY 80

PG here, Friday, May 2, 2025, Chapter 14, Sections 167 and 168, pages 77 and 78, Day 80 of reading John Locke's Treatise of Government and a Letter Concerning Toleration. 'Prerogative" is a divine power and right of the people as leaders of their nation in unity with the Holy Spirit of our Creation, Almighty God, so that the whole country can be fixed overnight as we use this to stop crimes and reward good behavior. Government is for the protection of property for each individual, even those in their mother's wombs. No one can use power or position to harm others. Stop all laws and rules that harm men's mortal souls.

 Mind, body, and emotions like ending all nudity and all pornography, making it a death penalty offense. Same with rape and molestation of others. 

Yes, shut down the internet and cell phones, all electricity, even until men get back sovereign control over their will. So we can rightly say 'free will.' You have no rights, no privileges, and no protection in America unless you understand what John Locke is saying in this one small little book. There are thousands of pocket-sized Little Books on the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution. But they are worthless, leading men to sin in more than thousands of ways by misinterpreting them because they do not know the depth of this little book and the one who inspired its self-evident truths, our Creator God Almighty. We get to know him and are brought to the Father through our divine Savior Jesus Christ so we can have peace in minds and souls that we are free from sin and we no longer sin. We cannot be put in jail because we do not harm others or ourselves. When we die we have eternal life, you could say immorality; we will be taken to heaven by Jesus Christ, the only way to get to the Father.
