Faith of our Founding Fathers

 Jesus Christ building America the Great

 
  The spirit of Jesus Christ, and the messages of God from His word


The Holy Bible are the cornerstone of this great country.


When founded, the Founding Fathers of America envisioned a


government that would promote and encourage Christianity. Thomas


Jefferson said this I am a real Christian, that is to say, a


disciple of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our


whole country will soon be rallied to the unity of our creator."


  Did you know all but two of the first 108 universities founded in


America were Christian. This includes the first, Harvard, where the


student handbook listed this as Rule #1: “Let every student be


plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main


end of his life and studies is to know God and Jesus Christ, which


is eternal life, John 17:3; and therefore to lay Jesus Christ as the


only foundation for our children to follow the moral principles of


the Ten Commandments."


  In 1777. Continental Congress voted to spend $300,000 to purchase


bibles which were to be distributed throughout the 13 colonies! And


in 1782, the United States Congress declared, “The Congress of the


United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all


schools.
