The First Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, being appointed by George Washington, was also President of the American Bible Society.
Who was he? John Jay, who died MAY 17, 1829.
As President of the Continental Congress, John Jay approved the "Circular Letter from the Congress of the United States of America to their Constituents," September 13, 1779:
"Friends and Fellow Citizens...
In governments raised on the generous principles of equal liberty... the rulers of the state are the servants of the people, and not the masters of those from whom they derive authority...
...The ungrateful despotism and inordinate lust of domination, which marked the unnatural designs of the British king and his venal parliament, to enslave the people of America, reduced you to the necessity of either asserting your rights by arms, or ingloriously passing under the yoke...
...Remember we are contending against a kingdom crumbling into pieces; a nation without public virtue...betrayed by their own representatives; against a Prince governed by his passions;...
against a government by the most impious violations of the rights of religion, justice, humanity and mankind, courting the vengeance of Heaven and revolting from the protection of Providence...

Let us not forget the wisdom of those who came before us.
It was John Jay who insisted on “natural born citizen” be added as a requirement for President. His reasoning was that no one with ANY foreign loyalties could be President.
No children of foreign nationals.
No foreign born.
Rubio, Cruz, Haley and Jindal were the future of the party and the reason for the GOP to go along with the Keyanesian Usurpation.
THEY ALL KNOW OBAMA IS INELIGIBLE.
Amen to the great God and our coming again Saviour from heaven, Jesus Christ our Lord.
In his Last Will and Testament, John Jay wrote:
“Unto Him who is the Author and Giver of all good, I render sincere and humble thanks for His merciful and unmerited blessings, and especially for our redemption and salvation by his beloved Son. He has been pleased to bless me with excellent parents, with a virtuous wife, and with worthy children.
His protection has accompanied me through many eventful years, faithfully employed in the service of my country; and his providence has not only conducted me to this tranquil situation, but also given me abundant reason to be contented and thankful.
Blessed be His Holy Name. While my children lament my departure, let them recollect that in doing them good, I was only the agent of their Heavenly Father, and that He never withdraws His care and consolations from those who diligently seek Him.”
On MAY 17, 1829, John Jay was drawing near death after a life of serving his country.
As recorded by his son, Judge William Jay, John Jay was asked if he had any words for his children, to which he responded:
“They have the Book.”
"the rulers of the state are the servants of the people, and not the masters of those from whom they derive authority..."
That'd be WE the consenting governed.
An earthly father like that is a rare bird indeed. We can all have the best Father possible through faith in His Son Jesus. Born AGAIN. Even if our earthly parents reject us, He will take us in!
Creepy. We need to keep this Christian stuff out of politics. Lay off the anti-trump articles.
[We need to keep this Christian stuff out of politics.]
History speaks for itself.
FACT: The United States was founded upon JUDEO-CHRISTIAN principals. It is impossible to dissect CHRISTIANITY from the U.S. CONSTITUTION.

However, considering our nominees connection to Epstein, his marriages, and his recent admissions about Princess Diana; I’m worried now is not the time to discuss Christianity or virtue in politics.

The American Minute is a daily blog by William Federer that features a historic event on that day. It is really interesting - covers a variety of subjects and is a reminder how far America has fallen from it founding.
