Are we a Christian nation? While we may have out battles amongst ourselves as to the answer to that question, the rest of the world sees the U.S. as representatives of Christianity and it’s God. It does not matter to them how we see ourselves. Al quida, the Taliban, PLO, and whoever else see us as representatives of the God of the Bible regardless. This is what their battle is about. It is why we are infidels to them.
They know what we have forgotten; that this nation was founded on the principles found in the Bible and represent the character of the God of that Bible.
John Adams:
“ The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principals of Christianity… I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.”
John Quincy Adams:
• “Why is it that, next to the birthday of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day [the Fourth of July]?" “Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's mission upon earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity"?
--1837, at the age of 69, when he delivered a Fourth of July speech at Newburyport, Massachusetts.
To name a couple ….
The whole purpose of others wanting the destruction of the United States is that they want to prove the God of the Bible to be an impotent, weak, and false God; laying claim to the ultimate strength of their own god, or of humanity itself, for our enemies are not just religious and foreign. We have those in our country that seek to destroy it for the very same purpose who believe in no god, but the ultimate power of man. Those same also exist in the rest of the world too. To destroy the U.S. would be the earthly equivalent to destroying God, in their eyes. Read any atheist blog and I am sure it will not take long to see the hatred for Christianity there.
“Having undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith, and honor of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia, do by these presents solemnly and mutually, in the presence of God, and one of another, covenant and combine our selves together…” The Mayflower Compact (authored by William Bradford) 1620
Our forefathers made a covenant with God that this land be for His glory. We are bound by this covenant whether we accept or reject it. For many years we have been in the process of rejecting it, and God. We, for the most part no longer include God in any part of our public life; not in the schools, not in government. If we as a nation do not repent of our evil ways and do not turn back to the ways of the Biblical God, we shall just become a byword and a laughing stock amongst the nations.
Jeremiah 5:3-9
3 O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
4Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.
5I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
6Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
7How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.
8They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.
9Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
