George Washington's Inaugural Address (April
30, 1789)
Today's history is politically-correct, revised, and edited to such a
manner to exclude any references to God. Many famous Godly leaders go
virtually unacknowledged. Revisionism is employed to subvert American
culture and society--the revisionist will either not use primary sources or leave out important
sections to give a different opinion then what author or founder
intended to convey. Many of our founding fathers were devout Christians
that practiced their faith and did not establish a secular Republic. John Adams declared: "The general principles on which the
fathers achieved independence were the
general principles of Christianity." John Calvin (July 10, 1509--May 27, 1564) was a French
Protestant theologian during the Protestant Reformation and his
teachings were instrumental in the founding of this country. Dr. E. W.
Smith stated the following about the influence of John Calvin:
If the average American citizen were asked,
who was the founder of America, the true author of our great Republic,
he might be puzzled to answer. We can imagine his amazement at hearing
the answer given to this questions by the famous German historian,
Ranke, one of the profoundest scholars of modern times. Says Ranke,
'John Calvin was the virtual founder of America.'
Also, the phrase "separation of church and state" appears in
no founding document, but the social activists still like to invoke the
phrase. (Thomas Jefferson was an
ambassador in France when the Constitution was framed! He was not part
of the constitutional Convention. Yes, Jefferson was not an exclusive
authority on the First Amendment.) This is a recent phenomenon by the
Courts in quoting Thomas Jefferson on the First Amendment.
The First
Amendment simply states:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
The true history of this country
was taught in American
textbooks for the last 150 years.
(Note: There were some teachings
by the founding fathers--who were influenced by the
"Enlightenment"--that were humanistic in nature such as our rights were "natural and
inalienable." The Biblical idea
is not natural rights, but imputed rights. These are compatible with
liberty and justice--natural law is a
failure because "oughts" cannot be derived from "ises."
In other words, the conclusion of an argument cannot have any terms that
are not found in its premises).
