Indian Ten Commandments - Cheorkee Native Americans Keep ThemCherokee Indian Ten Commandments move above federal law - September 2005
Native American Ten CommandmentsThe Native American tribal council of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is making plans to mount a copy of the Ten Commandments in the council house where government meetings are held, and possibly display them throughout other public buildings in Cherokee. The idea was introduced by Councilwoman Angela Kephart last month in the weeks leading up to tribal council elections. Kephart said the tribe should display the Ten Commandments out of respect and devotion to God. Tribal Council unanimously passed the resolution. Kephart pointed out that pictures of former chiefs adorn the wall in the council house, so why not a message from God, the leader that should come “first and foremost?” At the same time, Kephart said the tribal council would not be forcing Christianity on other people. “We aren’t saying you have to abide by the Ten Commandments,” Kephart said. “We are simply displaying God’s Ten Commandments. That’s what He expects from each and every individual. If you break that, it is between you and God. It is not between you and the tribal council; it is between you and God.” When Kephart introduced the idea, Indian Councilwoman Mary Thompsan suggested making more Ten Commandment displays while they were at it and hanging them in other tribal buildings as well, such as the hospital and senior home. The move comes following several controversial federal court cases involving governmental displays of the Ten Commandments by Native Americans. The general precedent set by those cases is that new displays of the Ten Commandments by Indians hung by a government body with the sole purpose of endorsing or promoting Christianity over other religions violates the U.S. Constitution.Note: The Indians, or Native Americans, keep the Commandments, shouldn't we all?
Fear God, Keep his Ten Commandments - Some many Native Americans and Indians also do.
Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Deuteronomy 4:13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone. Deuteronomy 4:12-14
