NATION, INTERESTING FACTS
By Dr. Hoyt W. Allen, Jr.
Our nation has had several liberal-minded and God-rejecting people in high positions who want our nation, who was founded upon Godly principles to avoid our founding fathers’ beliefs in the Bible’s teachings. Strange as it seems - there is still a great deal of evidence of founding fathers’ beliefs. Some of those are:
1) As you walk up the steps to the Building which houses the Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the world's law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view...... It is Moses and the Ten Commandments!
2) As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower
portion of each door.
3) As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall right above where the Supreme Court judges sit, a display of the Ten Commandments!
4) There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings and Monuments in Washington, D.C.
5) James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The Father of Our Constitution" made the following statement "We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves
according to the Ten Commandments of God."
6) Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father of our country

said, "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".
7) Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid
preacher whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.
8) Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the established orthodox churches in the colonies. Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority and instead of interpreting the law would begin making
law an oligarchy, the rule of few over many.
9) The very first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, said, "Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers."
Now then, how have we, a nation that has been so very blessed by the hand of the Creator God of this universe, gotten to the point that everything we have done for 200+ years in this country is now suddenly wrong, dishonest, underhanded, deceitful, corrupt, unjust, depraved, and unconstitutional? This is really strange, isn’t it?
In 1963 our nation allowed one woman to cease Bible reading and prayer in our public schools and we have gone “down hill” with super-speed ever since. Do we need people in high positions to have back bone to stand against the imps from hell who have been seeking to lead this nation astray from God? May the God of this universe find each Bible believer to stand up today and be
counted to be on His side. It is not the Ten Commandments which need removed - but the vulgarities used on TV and alternate life styles being accepted as normal. We shall all answer for our sins!
Plainly, don’t get short changed. Let’s be ready to meet our Maker. The Bible (In Acts) teaches that to avoid hell and gain heaven - one must:
1) Believe In Jesus As Savior (16:31) 2) Repent Of Sins (17:30)
3) Confess Christ Audibly (8:37) 4) Be Baptized In Water (2:38)
5) Live A Christian Life (14:22) 6) Be Active In the Church (2:47)
