Our Christian Heritage – John Adams

September 02, 2008 By: P.R.E.Z. Category: Uncategorized

Today I’ve been thinking about the goal of the Truth Manifesto. It says right in the description that it is “Amercia’s Christian heritage refusing to die.” It is a harbinger of truth in a nation that has patently lost its conscience and sense righteousness.

So to support that mission, I’ve added a new department to the The Truth Manifesto I call Our Christian Heritage which highlights the quotes, comments, and beliefs of some of the United States’ foremost influential Americans in our history. It is meant as a true understanding of where the blessing of the United States comes from and is a reflection of those that came before us and what they thought.

This is not to say that every one that is quoted here was a die hard Christian. That would be a flat out lie. However, the consensus in this country was that God was the source of our blessing and a vast majority of these people were believers in Jesus Christ.

This is also not to say also that this nation was a “Christian” nation as it was not in a straight literal sense. However, it was, unequivocally, built on Christian/biblical principles by men and women who believed in God and country and whose morals and worldview is reflected in the way that they lived and governed.

My hope is that these quotes will be a source of inspiration and enlightenment about the history of this great nation. So, let me know what you think of them by dropping a comment in link below.

Thanks and God bless.

John Adams

The second President of the United States, he served as Vice President for eight years under George Washington. In addition, the library of Congress and the Department of the Navy were established during his presidency.

This quote was made on October 11, 1798, in his address to the military:

We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
