From a friend, too good not to share
Someone told me you have to choose which hill you die on: Get ready to fill out your reports on me, cause I’m going to vent here. Frankly I expect some “unfriending” to happen and that is fine too.
I believe we all have the right to worship as we please, but I also know that our country, the United States of America, was founded on Christian principles. I believe we should be proud of our country. A quote is a quote. It should not be amended or watered down. The news media should not be afraid to use the “Love of Christ” part. Why they state, “Because, using the words Christ or God might offend someone!” Well, now it’s my turn to be offended!
I’m offended that the news media would edit it out.
Offended that Christians are being asked to tread lightly, so as not to offend someone of another religion. This man, Jesus, loved God, loved his people, loved the world, and gave his life for the sins of all people. Those who believe in Him, and accept Him as their personal Savior, will have everlasting life !!!
This Founding Principle is actually embedded in our Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
I hope every Christian or every person that believes in God who is OFFENDED will copy this and paste it to their status…..“If we ever forget that we’re one nation under GOD, then we will be a nation gone under.” ~Ronald Reagan.
*Before you say it, I already know that a lot of you will say I don’t know how to copy & paste.* It’s easy… hold your finger on this post when the word copy appears, just touch it, then go to your home page and where it says “what’s on your mind”, touch it and hold your finger where you would start writing your comment and “paste”.
If you read this to the end, can I get an “Amen” ?? Amen!!
To this I can only add what I’ve been saying for years now:
It is a matter of documented history the countries and cultures that separate themselves from the idea of a creator, don’t do very well supporting rights.
The idea that there’s an entity more powerful than government seems crucial to our rights.
