Christian America is your guide to understanding the
founding of our country as a Christian nation. We discuss
Christian America, conservative views, conservative Christian, fall of
the republic and how
America was founded based on these Christian principals. There has been
much discussion and debate on whether the United Sates of America was
founded on Christian principles. Countless quotes and sayings from
our Founding Fathers clearly point to a direction that they intended to
build towards a Christian nation.
John Adams: “
The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were
the general principals of Christianity… I will avow that I believed and
now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal
and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.”
Mayflower Compact
In November of 1620, the
Mayflower landed in Plymouth and many of the colonist decided to
establish a government. The Mayflower Compact was a social
contract built on a Christian foundation to follow the compact's rules
and regulations for the sake of survival. Below is the transcript
as follows:
- In the name of God, Amen. We whose names are
underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James,
by the Grace of God of Great Britain, France and Ireland, King, Defender
of the Faith, etc.
- Having undertaken, for the Glory of God and
advancement of the Christian Faith and Honour of our King and Country, a
Voyage to plant the First Colony in the Northern Parts of Virginia, do
by these presents solemnly and mutually in the presence of God and one
of another, Covenant and Combine ourselves together into a Civil Body
Politic, for our better ordering and preservation and furtherance of the
ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute and frame such
just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions and Offices, from
time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the
general good of the Colony, unto which we promise all due submission and
obedience. In witness whereof we have hereunder subscribed our names at
Cape Cod, the 11th of November, in the year of the reign of our
Sovereign Lord King James, of England, France and Ireland the
eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth. Anno Domini 1620
A Modell of Christian Charity
John Winthrop, Governor of the
Massachesutes Bay Colony, wrote one of the most profound contributions
to the literary world. A Modell of Christian Charity was written
in 1630 while en route to America to describe the ideas and plans to
keep the society strong in faith. It states:
“For we must consider that we shall be as
a City upon a Hill, the eyes of all people are upon us;… Beloved there
is now set before us life, and good, death and evil in that we are
commanded this day to love the Lord our God, and to love one another to
walk in his ways and to keep his commandments and his ordinance, and his
laws, and the Articles of our Covenant with him that we may live and be
multiplied, and that the Lord our God may bless us in the land whether
we go to possess it: But if our hearts shall turn away so that we will
not obey, but shall be seduced and worship other gods, our pleasures,
and profits, and serve them, it is propounded unto us this day, we shall
surely perish out of the good Land whether we pass over this vast Sea to
possess it.”
"I will ever walk humbly before my God,
and meekly, mildly, and gently towards all men...I do resolve first to
give myself - my life, my wits, my health, my wealth - to the service of
my God and Saviour who, by giving Himself for me and to me, deserves
whatsoever I am or can be, to be at His commandment and for His glory."
