The 18th Amendment

In 1919 the Constitution of the United States was changed, amended, to make the consumption and possession of alcoholic beverages illegal. Now take a moment to consider this. It is a monumental task to change the Constitution, requiring 2/3 of the Senate and House to pass it and then 3/4 of States have to approve it, in 7 years or less! Then, in 1933 the Constitution was changed again to nullify the previous change and make liquor legal again! As you can well imagine it made for some interesting battles on the editorial pages of newspapers. Imagine if talk radio or the internet had existed!

Spiritually, The Lord’s Prayer is the amendment establishing our true relationship with “Our Father.” Many within the religious community seem to have missed the memo, that this teaching supersedes all that came before, the essential nature of our relationship with God explained fully, for at a single blow this teaching swept away 99 percent of all the old fear based theology, with its avenging God, its chosen and favored individuals, its eternal hell fire, as well as all the other horrible paraphernalia of man’s diseased and terrified imagination. The Lord’s Prayer states clearly and forever that God is All-Powerful, All-Present, Eternal, the loving Father of mankind who heals, loves and guides all His children. Unlike the Constitution that is subject to the capricious will of man, the old theology has been amended by A Power Greater Than Ourselves, sanctified in blood, superseded forever, love triumphant over fear.
