Now v. Then: If 2012 had been 1776, would we have an America?

By Clash Daily / 15 October 2012 / 7 comments

Let’s compare and contrast, for a moment, the worldview of today’s leaders with what we know about the worldview of our nation’s founders. While we’re at it, let’s also shatter the myth that Christians haven’t been / shouldn’t be involved in politics. Not only have Christians historically made significant positive

differences in politics, but Christ also called His followers to make a difference in the world. There’s no good reason Christians should remain politically silent.

We’ll start with a look at the founding of our nation, asking the question, “If ‘now’ was ‘then’, would we even have an America?”

In 2012, we are 236 years removed from 1776. The freedoms we enjoy are the result of individuals who believed strongly in a Divine Lawgiver and the call to influence politics. How different things could have been if the diluted views of today would have been dominant in 1776. The founders of our nation openly recognized God’s role in life, going so far as to make a point of mentioning in the Declaration of Independence, “Nature’s God” and the rights “endowed” to us by our “Creator”. But today we think God must stay out of politics.

Today’s Christian are fairies compared to our founders.

I love & admire Paul & Jan Crouch. There was a time where I rolled my eyes at them but after watching them and seeing the love they have for Father God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, and reaching out to the world and loving others…God’s spirit corrected my wrong thoughts and first impressions. Thank you LORD.

“The freedoms we enjoy are the result of individuals who believed strongly in a Divine Lawgiver….”

Amen! The result of America’s TRUE 17TH-CENTURY Christian founders who established their colonial governments of, by, and for Yahweh, unlike the late 18th-century usurpers who established a humanistic government of, by, and for the people.

” How different things could have been if the diluted views of today would have been dominant in 1776.”

The diluted views of today are the consequence of the framers, who in 1787, failed to expressly establish the Republic upon Yahweh’s morality as codified in His commandments, statutes, and judgments. In fact, there is hardly an article or amendment that, in some fashion, is not antithetical, if not hostile, to Yahweh’s sovereignty and morality.

Our founders knew exactly what they were doing in their view that the government could not be allowed to establish religion!
The Constution and Bill of Rights were however based on Christian Principals and that should never be changed!
To be blunt if y’all don’t like OUR Founding Principals Y’All are allowed to haul YOUR Butt to Another Country and Please do so as quickly as possible!

No because the law of Yahweah is not on the hearts of the peoples. LOOK at the real life accounts from the first Mayflower through the colonial times — they went to God then they turned from God and harsh reality hit them and died off – they turned back to God and blessings – over and over again just like through Israel’s previous history. Preachers were a heavy influence and leaders in society – and I’d argue the single most important position any man could endeavor to do in any country. Were they perfect – far from it – did they stumble and make error – sure – but they in mass walked the walk and lived the life. Neighbor helped neighbor and they stood for justice in equity the best they knew how…

if 2012 was 1776, we’d be a British Colony until the 1930′s(or later), like Canada. Too many of these wusses we call Americans today just don’t measure up. And our political “leaders” aren’t even a faint imitation of the founding generation. That’s why libtards hate the founders. They knew what to do about sunshine patriots and hand-wringing pussy’s.

The Sandy Hook Massacre

The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away:

"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich. News Editor,Townhall.com and NYT's Best-selling Author, Fast and Furious: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Cover-Up

"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E.
