Subject: Are we really "1 nation under God? |
Bible Note: Hello there dougboy777, Sure, there is plenty to 'slam' the Founding Fathers and "proving" that they do not believe in Christianity, but the fact is: there are also direct quotes that prove that they really were Christians. I'm sure that if someone wanted to prove that I was not a Christian, then they could follow me around and see what I've posted here and twist it in some way possibly so that it would prove that I was not a Christian. In what you have stated, the only "Direct Quotes" that you used were for that of Thomas Jefferson, one whose morality has been brought into question recently in the public spotlight. However, I have also provided a quote from him that "proves" that he was Christian! So which are we to believe? If you are a Christian like I am, then I would say that the evidence for Christianity would outweigh that for an anti-Christian character. Also, the trouble with quoting someone is, is that we do not know in what setting, phase of life, or what the individual was thinking during this colonial time, so it would be impossible to determine conclusively that the individual was indeed a Christian unless they were living here in our midst. But the fact remains that we do have credible written evidence that the majority of the Founding Fathers were Christians. This fact, along with the fact that we have Christian references in our National Anthem, in our government, and all over our nation seems to show me that our nation was indeed a Christian nation at some point of time, and my conclusion is that it indeed began this way! Don't worry, there is no war here to be fought even though I disagree with you. Blessings to you, Nolan |
