Secession, a Christian Doctine in the Bible

Posted on by The Watchdog

Secession is in the Bible as a Moral Principle When Government Goes Bad.

Secession is coming. There is a whole bunch of fear mongering by some patriots saying it will break up the country. We hear secession is treason and is a bad idea. That is no different for a wife being told to stay in an abusive marriage when the husband is unrepentant.  She is beaten to near death daily. Her will is nearly broken and her dignity almost non-existent. If she does not leave the abusive spouse. She will die a thousand deaths in her soul before physical death comes. Common sense say she must leave or hope is lost. Even under mitigating circumstances being in an abusive home where the kids and wife’s life is danger. It is perfectly within scripture to divorce him.


Many of the founders knew the bible very well. They knew secession is in the bible and is a moral action. You can see the Bible written so well in all our founding documents.  Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence:

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

The Texas Constitution reflects the principle of the original Declaration of Independence in Article 1 sec 1 and 2

1. Texas is a free and independent State, subject only to the Constitution of the United States; and the maintenance of our free institutions and the perpetuity of the Union depend upon the preservation of the right of local self-government unimpaired to all the States.

2. All political power is inherent in the people and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their benefit. The faith of the people of Texas stands pledged to the preservation of a republican form of government, and, subject to this limitation only, they have at all times the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their government in such manner as they may think expedient.

Early Texans written Declaration of Independence. The Texas declaration mimmicks the original 1776 document


When, in consequence of such acts of malfeasance and abdication on the part of the government, anarchy prevails, and civil society is dissolved into its original elements. In such a crisis, the first law of nature, the right of self-preservation, the inherent and inalienable rights of the people to appeal to first principles, and take their political affairs into their own hands in extreme cases, enjoins it as a right towards themselves, and a sacred obligation to their posterity, to abolish such government, and create another in its stead, calculated to rescue them from impending dangers, and to secure their future welfare and happiness....More>>
