History Forgotten (Important)

Did you know that 52 of the 55 signers of the Declaration of

Independence were orthodox, deeply committed Christians? The other

three believed in the Bible as the divine truth, the God of

scripture, and His personal intervention.

It is the same Congress that formed the American Bible Society.

Immediately after creating the Declaration of Independence, the

the scripture for the people of this nation.

Patrick Henry, who is called the firebrand of the American

Revolution, is still remembered for his words, "Give me liberty or

give me death." But in current textbooks the context of these words

are deleted.

Here is what he actually said: "An appeal to arms and the God of

hosts is all that is left us. But we shall not fight our battle

alone, There is a just God that presides over the destinies of

nations. The battle sir, is not to the strong alone, is life so dear

and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and

slavery? I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give

me liberty or give me death."

These sentences have been erased from our textbooks. The words of a

Christian.

The following year, 1776, he wrote this: "It cannot be emphasized too

strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by

religionists, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason

alone, people of other faiths have been afforded the freedom of

worship here."

Consider these words that Thomas Jefferson wrote in the front of his

well worn Bible: "I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple

of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our whole country

will soon be rallied to the unity of our Creator." Thomas Jefferson

was also the chairman of the American Bible Society, which he

considered his highest and most important role.

On July 4, 1821, President Adams said, "The highest glory of the

American Revolution was this; it connected in one indissoluble bond

the principles of government with the principles of Christianity."

Calvin Coolidge, our 30th President, reaffirmed this truth when he

wrote, "The foundations of our society and our government rest so

much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to

support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be

practically in our country."

In 1782 the United States Congress voted this resolution: "The

for use in all schools."

William Holmes McGuffey is the author of the McGuffey Reader, which

was used for over 100 years in our public schools with over 125

million copies sold, until it was stopped in 1963. Abraham Lincoln

called him the Schoolmaster of the Nation". Mr. McGuffey said, "The

Christian religion is the religion of our country. From it are

derived our notions on the character of God, on the great moral

Governor of the universe. On its doctrines are founded the

peculiarities of our free institutions. From no other source has the

author drawn more conspicuously than from the sacred Scriptures. From

these extracts from the Bible I make no apology."

Of the first 108 universities founded in America, 106 were distinctly

1636. In the original Harvard Student Handbook, rule number one (1)

only foundation for our children to follow the moral principles of

the Ten Commandments."

Today we are asking God to bless America. But how can He bless a

nation that has departed so far from Him?

Prior to Sept 11, He was not truly welcomed in America. It's a shame

that most of what you read in this e-mail has been erased from our

textbooks.

Revisionists have rewritten history to remove the truth about our

nation's Christian roots.
