I can't complain

I should just stay out of these type of discussions for the solo fact I was not given the gift to write, but I really wanted to add a few things.

these are a few qoutes from a few of the founders:

John Adams - (best known for helping draft the Declaration of Independence and 2nd Pres.) "Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadeqate to the government of any other."

Patrick Henry - (Lawyer, legislator and later governor of Virginia) "It cannot be empasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religioists but by Christians; not on religions but on the gospel of Jesus Christ!"

My real concern about any of this is that you still don't want to give up the control and say "Thank You God" for everything you do in my life and the ones around me because without you I can not be me.

Charles West - "We turn to God for help when our foundations are shaking only to learn that it is God shaking them."

James 2:19 - "You do well to believe in God. Satan also believes...and trembles."


I guess my point is God is in control of everything and we still chose (free will) to be human and sin and turn our backs too the bible. When in the end God encourages us to test him too the bible when ever we have doubt's. I know most here say they have an understanding for the gospel, but do you really?

When I say this country was founding in Christian belief's I mean to say the people making this country succeed were of the Christian faith and gave praise to the one who diserved it and were blessed; in so blessing this nation with them. Not everyone had faith but the ones who did had enough for God to even bless the ones around them. I too pray for non-believers and if God blesses them even though they don't have faith yet then my prayers where answered.
