Obama tells Turkey “we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation but a nation of citizens”…..Gee, what does Obama and his staff do with the FACTS of our history?
The Gettysburg Address (Abraham Lincoln November 19, 1863):
“Four Score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal…That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
James Monroe:
With a firm reliance on the protection of Almighty God, I shall forth with commence the duties of the high trust to which you have called me.
There are literally thousands of quotes, speeches and even sermons of our earliest Presidents, founding fathers and members of congress honoring God/Jesus Christ, giving credit to God for our freedom, moral and legal development and for our very existence.
More evidence of our secular history…..
The first Day of Prayer was declared by the Continental Congress in 1775
In 1952 both Houses of Congress called upon the President to set aside a day each year as National Day of Prayer.
Then there is that secular reminder of our classic flag folding ceremony described by the Uniformed Services Code. This has always been the traditional way of honoring soldiers on Memorial Day, Veterans Day or at military funerals. There are 12 folds that all mean specific symbolic things. I won’t go through them all but give you a taste of a few. Fold 11 represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon, and glorifies, in their eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The 12th fold and final fold refers to the eyes of a Christian citizen, represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in their eyes, God the Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost.
We SAY: President Obama says he is a Christian. Is there a new kind of Christian out there now called a ‘Mystery Christian?’ This is the person who says they are a Christian if it is politically expedient, but in truth is ashamed of the gospel, message of Christ and Biblical teaching. Obama had the White House call Georgetown University and wanted the symbol of Jesus by the podium covered, since President Obama would be speaking. Why? The lie has a father, does it not?
