THE FIRST AMENDMENT Chris discusses the history of the first amendment, in light of a recent Supreme Court decision that is said to allow gay marriage to move forward in a number of states, while leaving the issue unresolved at a national level. But at the heart of the matter is whether the U.S. Constitution is supposed to be viewed through the lens of Biblical teaching. Was there ever a time when this was the case? Incredibly, a series of commentaries from 19th century Supreme Court Justice, Joseph Story provide powerful insights to the subject at hand. Story reveals what the original intention of the First Amendment was, and what it was not.
