Shock to NBC this Morning [Sent Tuesday, March 6, 2012]
This is not sent for discussion. If you agree, forward it…
If you don’t, delete it.
I don’t want to know one way or the other. By me forwarding it, you know how I feel.
I’ll bet this was a surprise to NBC….
NBC POLL Do you believe that the word God should stay in American culture?
NBC this morning had a poll on this question.
They had the highest Number of responses that they have ever had for one of their polls, and the Percentage was the same as this:
86% to keep the words, IN God We Trust and God in the Pledge of Allegiance,
14% against.
That is a pretty ‘commanding’ public response.
I was asked to send this on if I agreed, or delete if I didn’t ..
Now it is your turn. It is said that 86% of Americans believe the word God should stay…….
Therefore, I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a mess about having ’In God We Trust’ on our money and having God in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Why is the world catering to this 14%?
AMEN!
If you agree, pass this on , if not, simply delete.
In God We Trust
This is the day the LORD has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it.
I AM madder than a wet hen.
I WANT OUR/MY COUNTRY BACK!!!
Whos “delusion”?
Did you know that 52 of the 55 signers of “The Declaration of Independence” were orthodox, deeply committed, Christians? The other three all believed in the Bible as the divine truth, the God of scripture, and His personal intervention. It is the same Congress that formed the American Bible Society, immediately after creating the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress voted to purchase and import 20,000 copies of Scripture for the people of this nation.
Patrick Henry, who is called the firebrand of the American Revolution, is still remembered for his words, “Give me liberty or give me death”; but in current textbooks, the context of these words is omitted. Here is what he actually said: “An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us. But we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God that presides over the destinies of nations. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone. Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death.”
The following year, 1776, he wrote this: “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great Nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here.”
Consider these words that Thomas Jefferson wrote in the front of his well-worn Bible: “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.” He was also the chairman of the American Bible Society, which he considered his highest and most important role.
