Joint Resolution

Authorizing and requesting the President to Proclaim 1983 as the "Year of the Bible".

Whereas the Bible, the Word of God, has made a unique contribution in shaping the United States as a distinctive and blessed nation and people;

Whereas deeply held religious convictions springing from the Holy Scriptures led to the early settlement of our Nation;

Whereas Biblical teachings inspired concepts of civil government that are contained in our Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States;

Whereas many of our great national leaders--- among them Presidents Washington, Jackson, Lincoln and Wilson---paid tribute to the surpassing influence of the Bible in our country’s development, as in the words of President Jackson that the Bible is "the rock on which our Republic rests";

Whereas the history of our Nation clearly illustrates the value of voluntarily applying the teachings of the Scriptures in the lives of individuals, families and societies;

Whereas this Nation now faces great challenges that will test this Nation as it has never been tested

before; and

Whereas that renewing our knowledge of and faith in God through Holy Scripture can strengthen us as a nation and a people: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate and the House of representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the president is authorized to designate 1983 as a national "Year of the Bible" in recognition of both the formative influence the Bible has been for our Nation, and our national need to study and apply the teachings of the Holy Scriptures.

Approved October 4, 1982.

Congress also needs to feel your prayers [curses] that they might see the light. The ongoing mockery of the day is to say all the right things then do as you please. How could they pass this LAW after allowing judges of the Supreme Court to remain on the seat after denying as unconstitutional the rights of a student in public school to bow their head and pray audibly for his food. And, less than two years prior to this declaring the Bible, the word of God, then vote in favor of outlawing the Ten Commandments in our public schools.   

It is time to curse our Congress [The Senate and House of Representatives] and allow them to feel the effects of that power, that they might also see the light of God. For, without the light of God, eternity will be in the Eternal Hell..
