I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough. 2 Cor 11:3-4
“I have carefully examined the evidences of the
Christian religion, and if I was sitting as a juror upon its authenticity I would unhesitatingly give my verdict in its favor. I can prove its truth as clearly as any proposition ever submitted to the mind of man.”
April 1802
Alexander Hamilton, a “Founding Father” who authored 51 of 85 Federalist Papers (the defense of the U.S. Constitution) and was the First Secretary of the Treasury.
America’s founding document, “The Declaration of Independence“, declares the bedrock that supports both our country and the freedoms that we enjoy. It was paid for by the blood of many of the signers and by defenders in the generations that followed. It states…
In Congress, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,…
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. - That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,…
Now in our day, the naturalistic evolutionists and “critical thinkers” tell us that, not only are these Truths not “self-evident”, they are in fact lies! Yet these Truths form the very foundation of our freedoms.
If in reality, these Truths are illegitimate delusions, then so are the freedoms that are based upon them. And if built upon lies, then neither our freedoms nor our nation can be sustained - both are certain to collapse under a storm of human relativism. And we are, very likely, on the road to slavery (or worse)!
And yet, our founders believed these Truths to be so certain as to be self-evident. Could there really be such a thing as self-evident truth? The founders staked their very lives upon it!
The answer is at hand; isn’t it worth a small investment in time to find out?
“The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage of this army.
July 2, 1776
No Country upon Earth ever had it more in its power to attain these blessings The Great Governor of the Universe has led us too long and too far to forsake us in the midst of it.

While just government protects all in their religious rights, true religion affords to government its surest support.

“We have staked the whole future of American civilization… the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government; upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.”
James Madison, 1778
4th President of the United States, Known as “Chief Architect of the Constitution”
“There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations; and who will raise up friends to fight our battle for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave…”
“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775
Many people are under the impression that Benjamin Franklin held a Deist view of God all his life. Yes, he did make a Deist confession early in his life, but later in his life his view of God seems to have changed. You be the judge whether he changed his view about God:
“Mr. President [to George Washington]
The small progress we have made after 4 or five weeks close attendance & continual reasonings with each other-our different sentiments on almost every question, several of the last producing as many noes as ays, is methinks a melancholy proof of the imperfection of the Human Understanding. We indeed seem to feel our own want of political wisdom, since we have been running about in search of it.
We have gone back to ancient history for models of Government, and examined the different forms of those Republics which having been formed with the seeds of their own dissolution now no longer exist. And we have viewed Modern States all round Europe, but find none of their Constitutions suitable to our circumstances.

The current policy of the US government treats our Democratic Republic as something that we did
for ourselves. While our founders certainly played their parts, they almost universally also acknowledged a deep dependence upon the God and wisdom of the Bible. And they assumed that only like-minded people could be successfully governed by our Democracy. As John Adams said quite well:
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
We abandon these truths to our very great peril!
But the Palestinian people under Hamas are likely to soon make this point for Adams. Let us pray that the Iraqi people will not do the same.
