250 Years as a Christian Country
Today marks 250 years as a Christian country and 406 years as a Christian nation. From the very beginning, Christ has been with us here in America.
America was discovered by Christians. America was explored by Christians. America was colonized by Christians. America was settled by Christians. America was conquered by Christians. America was built by Christians. America was founded by Christians. America was fought for by Christians. Our government was designed by Christians. Our government was designed on Judeo-Christian Biblical values. The Bible was cited more than everyother book combined in the shaping of our government.
The Mayflower Compact is a Christian document. All 13 colonial charters are Christian documents. The Declaration of Independence is a Christ document. The 1783 Treaty of Paris which formally ended the American Revolutionary War and recognized our independence is a Christian document. The Constitution is a Biblically inspired document. All 50 state constitutions reference God, with 46 out of 50 specifically mentioning God. In 1954, under God was added to our pledge of allegiance. In 1956, In God we Trust was added to our money.
And contrary to popular leftist myth, our founding fathers were overwhelmingly Christian.
Congress began with prayer. In 1777, Congress was petitioned and approved to import 20,000 Bibles due to a shortage from the Revolutionary War. Congress later appointed 2 pastors to review the Aitkin Bible for accuracy and then later endorsed this Bible in 1782. These Bibles were then used in schools as student textbooks. Congress funded Christian missionaries to the natives. Until the civil war era, the house of representatives was used for church service from when it was built in 1800 until 1868.
We have always been a Christian nation. We still are a Christian nation. As long as good strong men fight for it, we will always be a Christian nation.
Do not let the left, or the Christians in name only deceive you into believing we are not a Christian country and people. Do not give into the fear of rising "Christian nationalism. Christianity and American nationalism is not only intertwined, but Christian Nationalism is the foundation and default behavior of our country. If we as Christians abandon our duty, we surrender our country to the kingdom of darkness. If we want America to remain a Christian country, we must be bold in both our faith, and patriotism!
