Its been acknowledged, not all of them were. I think, though I do not know, that a great majority of Americans from the beginning of our country, right up until recently, have considered this nation as christian, and also considered themselves christian, whether they were indeed saved or not, still it is a great majority that felt this way. I'd also say, that I believe I can point out a characteristic, or action, in every single christian I've ever met, that appears to be not Christ-like. Sinners are saved by Christ's work at the cross, and I've not yet met one who has been perfected in this life. Does that make them non-christian, or the U.S a non-christian nation? At the present time, I would agree that our government perhaps may have very few christians in it, though that too is hard to tell, as I think those with real power in the government are few in number. And in general, in my community, people seem to have completely lost fear or reverence for God, especially in the last 10-15 years.

A secular government built around humanism would scoff at such concepts. You are correct, a secular government will not recognize the workings of Satan even in her very midst. But neither will a deceived apostate Protestant government who only a few short weeks ago welcomed into her legislative chambers the leader and spokesman for the Antichrist power.

But did you know that John Brennan, a Jesuit trained now CIA chief, was sworn in on a copy of an early original copy of the declaration of independence which did not have the second amendment yet added? Deliberate, or an oversight???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the gallup poll still has America around 77% Christian.....that would reflect a "majority" & it could be safe to say the USA IS a Christian Nation or is it? Well,I know it is MORE Christian than any other country and it would be nice to turn back the hands of time and get back to our roots....which was indeed founded on Christianity & the Word of God.....it is simply a matter of putting forth some effort in researching History,a bit of study & a lot of due diligence to learn what hopeful dreams AMERICA was supposed to make come true for the man that wanted to live according to the Way God says one should live,worshipping & glorifying Him!One Nation UNDER God! But we cannot turn back the hands of time ,we can only do our best to make a better tomorrow & every day is the first day of the rest of our lives,our HOPE is ALWAYS in CHRIST Perhaps it would be best to turn of the TV(news),log off the computers,forget about youtube & facebook & walk out the front door to engage in real life with real people? I do & you know what I see? A beautiful out pouring of Gods Spirit on America....I see many young people coming to Christ,I hear the Name of Jesus proclaimed,I witness love,kindness,Miracles,goodness & Godliness more so than ever before........you see,you have to interact in society to really get a feel for what is going on in this Nation.....we only hear about the 2 horrible plane crashes in the past 6 months but never the hundreds of thousands of safe landings each week,,,,,, Just be accountable for what WE DO & SAY.......Be the Image of Christ,boast for Him,provoke others to jealousy,Praise His Name proudly,spread the Gospel to every creature,lets make a better tomorrow and tell ALL MEN Jesus offer of Eternity in Paradise With love-in Christ,Kwik You know it is more Christian than any other country !!!!! So you have lived in many other countries to be able to know this , otherwise it would be pure fantasy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
