Can a Christian get a passport?

1964 — Supreme Court (cited below): “This faaaaaaaaareedom of movement is the very essence of our free society … Once the right to travel is curtailed, all other rights suffer”
2025 — passports and REAL ID require allegiance to whoever runs the government. Those without this social score cannot leave — just as it was for Jews in NAZI Germany.

Throughout history, pagan governments have enslaved societies who forgot their moral responsibilities. Abraham had to deliver us from Babylon. Moses was sent to deliver us from Pharaoh. Christ was sent to deliver us from Roman laws. Our greed has now ensnared us back into the grip of Caesar. Roman laws have returned as the law-of-the-land for those who forfeit their rights. But this time around the Lord will not free you from the counterfeit government you worship.

Christ told us to never swear oaths, Matthew 5:34. Least we be condemned, James 5:12.

Yes, a passport requires an oath under penalty of perjury.

Title 22 US Code section 212:

“No passport shall be granted or issued to or verified for any other persons than those owing allegiance, whether citizens or not, to the United States”

What is this allegiance? Can a Christian really bow down to a different master – Lord – provider – protector?

We are all created equal according to the U.S. government founders and according to the Declaration of Independence, but oaths are only taken to superiors, Hebrews 6:16. You didn’t want to be equal.

Oaths are just one way you consent to be governed. Welfare is another.

Here are 12 reasons to stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free

THE WELFARE CONNECTION — asking for welfare that is funded by the forced taxation of others (food stamps, housing, old age assistance, legal assistance, etc) is sufficient proof that you cannot manage your own affairs.

Unfortunately for others, socialism cannot recognize individual rights. Government will use force, fear and violence to extract YOUR welfare funds from innocent people. “But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!” — Galatians 5:15. You have no right to live more comfortably if your upkeep is funded by violence against others. Again, you deny that we are all equal.

YOU are subversive. According to President Franklin Pierce veto of our nation’s first health care bill:

“I cannot find any authority in the Constitution for public charity…. [this] would be contrary to the letter and the spirit of the Constitution and subversive to the whole theory upon which the Union of these States is founded.”

If you insist that the Constitution has changed this, show me. Even Susan B. Anthony did not change her citizenship by being born in the United States. U.S. v. Susan B. Anthony, 24 Fed 829 (1873) “The rights of citizens of the state, as such, are not under consideration in the fourteenth amendment. They stand as they did before the adoption of the fourteenth amendment, and are fully guaranteed by other provisions.”

Choose your daddy. Once you chose your daddy, you cannot complain. You voluntarily entered into a patrimonial guardianship. Wards of the government must be managed. Government can regulate whatever they fund. Wards have no say in how they are treated. There is no remedy (cure) for those who are damaged by their agent. Procurationem adversus nulla est praescriptio. And there are dozens of other legal reasons. The Supreme Court said “the citizen cannot complain because he has voluntarily submitted himself to such a form of government.”

1. Socialist Welfare changes your citizenship. Always has. Nimrod, Pharaoh, Caesar are examples. The received-law-of-the-land (and included in the Articles of Confederation), in Article IV, denies to paupers (supported by public funds) the privileges of citizens. As you can see in Article IV, paupers have the same rights as fugitives.

2. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. You will suffer the consequences of your decisions.

3. God hated Esau who, with an oath, sold his birthright for a bowl of welfare. (Romans 9:13, Malachi 1:3). He had no right to complain. Neither do you.

4. The Apostle Paul tells us that there are many gods, First Corinthians 8:5. He then tells us that there are people “Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly”, Philippians 3:19
– And welfare is a snare to trap you. Romans 11:9. Quoting King David in Psalm 69:22.
– And covetousness is idolatry. Colossians 3:5. Merely wanting the benefits violates God’s Commandments.

5. Maxim of law: “The civil laws reduce an ungrateful freeman to his slavery” Libertinum ingratum leges civiles in pristinam servitutem redigunt.

6. The Expatriation Act of 1868 was passed the day before the 14th Amendment was ratified. It says that you “promptly and finally disavow” any State allegiance when you apply for federal welfare.
The 14th Amendment allows people to receive federal benefits (unstated: to expatriate, change allegiance, chose your daddy). Even the word RELIGION means re ligo, to bind anew. https://webstersdictionary1828.com/Dictionary/religion

While you look up the definition, read Webster’s definition #2. Religion is the performance of all known duties to your fellow man. Do you want secular government involved in your religious duties? (Hint: even the Amish lose their religious liberty if they get a SSN, U.S. v. Lee, 455 U.S. 252)

7. Notice that in the 14th Amendment, you also have to be “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof”.
See Elk v. Wilkins 112 U.S. 94, which was 16 years after the 14th Amendment, for the extent to which you must be subject. (” not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to…”)

8. Vice President Thomas Jefferson told us that only three federal laws apply to people in states. But you didn’t want this freedom. You wanted a different provider to manage your affairs for you. https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Jefferson/01-30-02-0370-0004

Hint: Citizens are nationals. Title 8 U.S. Code § 1101(a)(21):
(21) The term “national” means a person owing permanent allegiance to a state.

What is your plan to avoid this PERMANENT allegiance, and stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has set us free?

Yes, you voluntarily confessed, on a permanent irrevocable federal application, that you wanted others to manage your own affairs for you.

9. 2000 years ago Plutarch said “It is truly said that the first destroyer of the liberties of a people is he who gave them bounties and largesse. ”

10.  Christians obey the commandments of Christ. If you swear oaths, or sign some document under penalty of perjury, you violate Christ’s commandment in Matthew 5:34.

11. In a passport case, US Supreme Court Aptheker v. Secretary of State, 378 U.S. 500 (1964), Justice Douglass, concurring, stated:
“This freedom of movement is the very essence of our free society, setting us apart. Like the right of assembly and the right of association, it often makes all other rights meaningful — knowing, studying, arguing, exploring, conversing, observing and even thinking. Once the right to travel is curtailed, all other rights suffer, just as when curfew or home detention is placed on a person.”

12. In the words of Samuel Adams (who was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, cousin of President John Adams, and an activist at the Boston Tea Party) speech at the State House of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia (1 August 1776): “crouch down and lick the hands which feed you”

Your Travel Papers Please.

The 15 minute cities are no different than the Jewish ghettos of NAZI Germany. They needed papers to leave their neighborhoods.

in the land of Marbury v. Madison, why would you pay for a permit to exercise a right? A right cannot be taxed.

Shuttlesworth v. Birmingham 394 U.S. 147 (1969) was a sidewalk case:

“Persons faced with an unconstitutional licensing law which purports to require a license as a prerequisite to exercise of right… may ignore the law and engage with impunity in exercise of such right.”

13. This basic law of nature (to manage your own affairs) extends much deeper than welfare. You no longer have a right to contract. You are incompetent to represent yourself and must be represented by a competent attorney.
YOU don’t even have a right to contract. “For what compact can be made with a man that is not master of his own life?” as John Locke said in his 1690 Second Treatise of Government, chapter 15, paragraph 172.
