- "It cannot be emphasized too clearly and too often that this nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ." (attributed to Patrick Henry, governor of Virginia)
- "Principally and first of all, I give and recommend my soul into the hands of God that gave it: and my body I recommend to the earth...nothing doubting but at the general resurrection I shall receive the same again by the mercy and power of God." (John Hancock)
- "Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation, to select and prefer Christians for their rulers." (John Jay, First Chief Justice)
- "...to the supreme head of the universe-to that great and tremendous Jehovah-Who created the universal frame of nature, worlds, and systems in number infinite...To this awfully sublime Being do I resign my spirit with unlimited confidence of His mercy and protection." (Henry Knox, Revolutionary War General)
- "Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure...are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments." (Charles Carroll, signer of declaration of Independence)
- "My only hope of salvation is in the infinite, transcendent love of God manifested to the world by the death of His Son upon the cross. Nothing but His blood will wash away my sins. I rely exclusively upon it. Come, Lord Jesus! Come quickly!" (Benjamin Rush, signer of the Declaration of Independence)
- "WE RECOGNIZE NO SOVEREIGN BUT GOD, AND NO KING BUT JESUS!" (John Hancock and John Adams)
The above quotes taken from the "The American Patriots Bible" which was recently published and generally edited by Dr. Richard G Lee. I highly recommend this Bible for an insight into the past and founding of this great country. The above men adorned a sovereign God, and understood a great country needed a great foundation, and relied on the Gospel and Jesus Christ to create the greatest gentile nation the world has ever known. The amazing fact is these were not pastors, preachers, or Biblical scholars, these were everyday men who understood the act of repentance, salvation, and prayer, and without the Grace and Mercy of God they were nothing and would establish nothing.
In looking at today's men and women who encompass the federal governments senate, congress military and even white house we can see a huge difference in the mindset. In looking at our political landscape today it is not about a gospel or a God, it's about selfish elitist philosophies which are detrimental to the fabric of this great country. We are so far removed from our original founders mindset and beliefs it's no wonder our country is on the brink of being destroyed by socialist Marxist zealots.
They serve no god but themselves and it is evident in our country today. It's self evident that America has turned away from God and He has removed His Grace and Mercy. The country needs a leader that will call upon us to repent, pray, and edify the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, the begotten father of Jesus Christ.
God Bless the repenter!! The Watcher
