"re: Paul
Wilson, faith of founding fathers"
I regard the attack on the faith of the
founding fathers as satanic in origin.
1. Please read at least the preamble to the various (sovereign) STATE
constitutions. Vermont's is a particularly good place to start. Bear in
mind that the constitutional convention was comprised of a gaggle of
Church of England, Baptist, Quaker, Puritan and other denominations too
numerous to mention members, all fearful of a state religion being
imposed by a central government.
2. Thomas Paine was not a founding father.
3. Did you know that George Washington kept a prayer journal? I keep
this prayer posted on my front door for all to see:
Almighty God; We make our ernest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United
States in Thy holy protection; that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the
citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to
government; and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one
another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large.
And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all
to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that
charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the
characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and
without a humble imitation of whose example we can never hope to be a
happy nation. Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen
I do not find it remarkable that he may not have participated in
communion. I have a hard time with it too. I started off as a Lutheran,
and to this day I cannot recall exactly what I was taught in
confirmation class beyond the fact that it frightened me to death.
4. At the end of his life Thomas Jefferson responded to a letter from
Abigail Adams accusing him of deism. He answered something like this: I
am a follower of Jesus Christ
5. If Franklin were not a Christian, he was at least a friend of
Christianity. He had nothing against it. There is more myth about
Franklin's supposed occultism than I can address, but it is all
circumstantial and he addresses it in his own writings.
6. The founding fathers examined every civilization type known and
rejected ALL of them! America is NEW! There had never been anything
like it before, and there surely will be nothing like it again. Never,
ever, had the power of government been held by the people! Never, ever
had a government been designed around human nature (which does not
change) so that enlightened self interest results in the advancement of
all. And so forth.
This nation has been under continuous satanic attack since the git go.
By the grace of God it still stands. Thank you, Lord.
