Sure
Your posts add to God’s message of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and our possibility of salvation through him.
Yes, I agree, that our joy comes from our personal relationship with Jesus Christ and that wherever we might find ourselves that he is always with us.
God is the only one who could beat Chuck. Though it might tire him.
Give him time it will be.
He is not my leader.
“That’s President to you. And he’s right on this. I’ll tell him when I think he’s wrong - but on this, he is 100% right.”
“Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.”

The U.S. does not have and has not had the original copy of this treaty for at least two centuries (it is lost); the two originals that do exist (in Italian and Arabic) have no such phrase, no such clause in the treaty, period.
The Avalon Project at Yale University, without assigning any motives to Mr. Barlow, notes of the blatant discrepancy:
As even a casual examination of the annotated translation of 1930 shows, the Barlow translation is at best a poor attempt at a paraphrase or summary of the sense of the Arabic; and even as such its defects throughout are obvious and glaring. Most extraordinary (and wholly unexplained) is the fact that Article 11 of the Barlow translation, with its famous phrase, “the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion,” does not exist at all. There is no Article 11. The Arabic text which is between Articles 10 and 12 is in form a letter, crude and flamboyant and withal quite unimportant. http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2005/5/9/212811.shtml

Well, the Continental Army says you’re wrong. Their motto was “No other King but Jesus.” But hey, what did they know. Bunch of uneducated farmers and townspeople. Guess they didn’t hang around to read some piece of diplo-speak.
"Americans in every generation have turned to their Maker in prayer. In adoration and in thanksgiving, in contrition and in supplication, we have acknowledged both our dependence on Almighty God and the help He offers us as individuals and as a Nation. In every circumstance, whether peril or plenty, whether war or peace, whether gladness or mourning, we have searched for and sought God’s presence and His power, His blessings and His protection, His freedom and His peace, for ourselves, for our children, and for our beloved land."
"That was surely so at the very beginning of our Nation, in the earliest days of our quest for independence and liberty. It could only be thus, for a people who recognized God as the Author of freedom; who cherished the ancient but ever new words of Leviticus - ‘Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof ’ and who cast those words where they would ring out forever, on the Liberty Bell; who affirmed along with Thomas Jefferson that the God Who gave us life gave us liberty as well."
We have a lesson from the Founders of our land, those giants of soul and intellect whose courageous pledge of life and fortune and sacred honor, and whose ‘firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence,’ have ever guided and inspired Americans and all who would fan freedom’s mighty flames and live in ‘freedom’s holy light.’- 1988 Ronald Reagan
James Otis (mentor of Samuel Adams and John Hancock) identified the source of many of the signers’ ideas when he declared: "The authority of Mr. Locke has been preferred to all others."
Signer of the Declaration Richard Henry Lee declared that: "The Declaration was copied from Locke’s Treatise on Government."
"The Declaration of Independence was founded upon one and the same theory of government expounded in the writings of John Locke." - John Quincy Adams
The signer of the Declaration Richard Henry Lee declared that the Declaration was “copied from Locke’s Treatise on Government.”
John Locke(1632-1704) was an English theologian and political philosopher, and Declaration signers such as John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Rush, and many others sang his praises.
Locke authored numerous works that influenced America (including the original constitution of Carolina, 1669), but his writing that most influenced the Founders’ philosophy in the Declaration of Independence was his Treatise of Government.
Locke’s Treatise (actually two separate treatises combined into one book) is less than 400 pages long; but in the first treatise, Locke invoked the Bible in 1,349 references; in his second treatise, he cited it 157 times. In the primary work influencing the Declaration of Independence, Locke referred to the Bible over 1,500 times to show the proper operation of civil government. http://www.wallbuilders.com/LIBissuesArticles.asp?id=160
The NYSE closure each Good Friday is unrelated to religion. It is to remember a 1920 anarchist bomb attack on Wall St., that killed 39 people.
Thanks. I really did not want to argue what would patently be absurd and extreme falsehood.
I had seen this before and felt that it was someting that parsed words or wholly false.
Thanks. I loved RR.
That is right and the Virginia Constitution as well.
Actually, The New York Stock Exchange has been closed in observance of Good Friday since its inception in 1792.
Nice bit of history though.
Where is the Front Page sidebar? I will try.
The boss, at Free Republic, would probably let this post there.
If not, Oh well.
Thanks.
