Arkansas Lawmakers Vote For Ten Commandments Monument At Capitol

Jeremiah 29:13 ESV You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.

Arkansas lawmakers have passed a proposal to place a monument to the Ten Commandments on the grounds of the state capitol and Governor Asa Hutchinson is expected to sign the bill.

As we previously reported, State Senator Jason Rapert proposed the moument, which will be funded by private citizens.  The senator referenced other monuments in Texas and Oklahoma, which courts have found as Constitutional.

“The Secretary of State shall permit and arrange for the placement on the State Capitol grounds of a suitable monument commemorating the Ten Commandments,” SB 939 reads in part. “The Secretary of State shall arrange for the monument to be designed, constructed, and placed on the State Capitol grounds by private entities at no expense to the State of Arkansas.”

“The placement of the monument under this section shall not be construed to mean that the State of Arkansas favors any particular religion or denomination over others,” it continues.

The bill passed the Arkansas House 72-7 on Wednesday.

“The 10 Commandments monument is a visible reminder intended to keep us focused outside of ourselves, just as the founders looked outside of themselves for guidance,” Rep. Kim Hammer said, according to the Arkansas News.

    Our Founding Fathers contstantly Side God, and the Ten Commandments, etc. in the Founding of Our Nation!

    It is quite curious that Anti-Christians often “Use the Term, “Do unto Others, as you would have them Do Unto YOU,” seemingly that it comes Out of the Judeo-Christian Bibles!”

    YES, ALL SINNERS … Can Be Saved, if they only Truly ask with a Good Intentioned Meaninful Heart !

    Jerry R., in California, AND Long Live ISRAEL!!!
