I thought it would be of interest to hear from some of our founding fathers and universities on their view about America.
John Adams, “It becomes necessary to every citizen to be in some degree a statesman and to examine and judge for himself the political principles and measures. Let us examine them with a sober Christian spirit.”
Benjamin Rush, “The only means of establishing and perpetuating our Republican form of government is the universal education of our youth in the principals of Christianity by means of the Bible.”
Noah Webster, “Our citizens should early understand that the genuine source of correct Republican principals is the Bible, particularly the New Testament or the Christian Religion.”
Harvard University, “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 which is eternal life and therefore to lay Christ in the bottom as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and learning.”
Then the university went on to say, “Everyone shall so exercise himself in reading the scriptures twice daily that he shall be ready to give such an account of his proficiency therein.”
Yale, “Seeing God is the giver of all wisdom every scholar beside private or secret prayer, shall be present morning and evening at public prayer.”
I believe we need to return to our roots!!!
