RUGGLES WAS
DISTRIBUTING LITERATURE SAYING JESUS WAS A BASTARD AND HIS MOTHER WAS A WHORE
THIS WAS IN 1811. HE WAS CHARGED WITH AN ATTACK ON THE NATION
THE REASONING BEING IS THAT AN ATTACK ON JESUS WAS AN ATTACK ON CHRISTIANITY
AN ATTACK ON CHRISTIANITY IS AN ATTACK ON A CHRISTIAN NATION
AND SINCE WE WERE A CHRISTIAN NATION
IT WAS AN ATTACK ON US
HE WAS FINED 300 DOLLARS AND GIVEN 5 MONTH IN JAIL
The
question begs then, did the Supreme Court recognize the United States as a Christian
nation? Well, in 1892 the US Supreme Court made this ruling in a case. (Church of The Holy
Trinity vs. The United States.) "No purpose of action against religion can be imputed
to any legislation, state or national, because this is a religious people. This is a Christian nation."
"We are not
to attribute this prohibition of a national religious establishment to an indifference to
religion in general, and especially to Christianity (which none could hold in more
reverence, than the framers of the Constitution) . . . Probably at the time of the
adoption of the Constitution, and of the first amendment to it . . . . the general if not
the universal sentiment in America was, that Christianity ought to receive encouragement
from the state so far as was not incompatible with the private rights of conscience and
the freedom of religious worship. An attempt to level all religions, and to make it a
matter of state policy to hold all in utter indifference, would have created universal
disapprobation, if not universal indignation . . . The real object
of the amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or
Judaism, or infidelity [secularism], by prostrating Christianity; but exclude all
rivalry among Christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment
which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."
Supreme
Court Justice Joseph Story on the First Amendment
Of all the
dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are
indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should
labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties
of men and citizens, George Washington's farewell address
1983 - Oct. 4,
1982, Joint Resolution of Congress: "Whereas the Bible, the Word of God, has made a
unique contribution in shaping the United States as a distinctive and blessed nation of
people. Whereas Biblical teachings inspired concepts of civil government that are
contained in our Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of The United States ...
Whereas that renewing our knowledge of, and faith in God through Holy Scriptures can
strengthen us as a nation and a people. Now therefore be it resolved ... that the
President is authorized and requested to designate 1983 as a national "Year of the
Bible" in recognition of both the formative influence the Bible has been for our
nation, and our national need to study and apply the teachings of the Holy
Scriptures." February
3, 1983 - President Ronald Reagan issued the above requested proclamation. President
George Bush declared 1990 to be the international year of Bible reading
Almost
nine out of 10 Americans (86%) say that they believe in God, even when given the choice of
saying that they "don't believe in God, but believe in a universal spirit or higher
power" (chosen by only eight percent). In fact, only five percent of the population
choose neither of these choices and thus claim a more straightforward atheistic
position. Gallup Poll, Christmas
1999
93%
of North Americans are Christians, less than 2% are Jewish, and less than 2% are a
combination of Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus. Encyclopedia

On September
10, 1782, in consequence of the difficulty of importing Bibles, Congress approved and
recommended to the people the edition of the Bible printed by Robert Aiken of
Philadelphia. Congress described it as a "neat edition of the Holy Scriptures for use
in schools."
"WHEREUPON,
RESOLVED THAT the United States in Congress assembled...recommend this edition of the
Bible to the inhabitants of the United States, and hereby authorize him to publish this
recommendation in the manner he (Robert Aiken) shall think proper."
Like it or
not; Love it or hate it; curse it or praise it; THE UNITED STATES WAS FOUNDED BY
CHRISTIANS AS A CHRISTIAN NATION, and the vast majority of its citizens were Christian.
Our national motto is, "IN GOD WE TRUST"; our national hymn is, "GOD OF OUR
FATHERS." The fathers being Abraham, Isaac and Jacob of the Bible. We pledge
allegiance to the United States of America as "ONE NATION UNDER GOD."
Our
Constitution begins with, "We the people of the United States..." Article Seven
mentions, "the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand
seven hundred eighty seven..." Ask yourself, who is "our Lord" which is
mentioned by "we the people?" Few people know, and it is no longer taught in our
public schools, that eleven of the thirteen original colonies gave religious tests for
public office. They required faith in Jesus Christ and the Bible as a basic qualification
for holding public office.
MASSACHUSETTS:
Required a declaration that:
"I
believe in the Christian religion and have a firm persuasion of its truth."
NEW JERSEY:
Declared:
"...that
no Protestant inhabitant of this colony shall be denied any civil right merely on account
of his religious principles, but that all persons professing a belief in the faith of any
Protestant sect, who shall demean them-selves peacefully under the government as hereby
established, shall be capable of being elected into any office of profit or trust, or
being a member of either branch of the legislature."
VERMONT'S:
Constitution required every member of the House of Representatives to take this oath:
"I do
believe in One God, the creator and governor of the universe, the rewarder of the good,
and the punisher of the wicked, and I do acknowledge the Scriptures of the Old and New
Testament to be given by Divine inspiration..."
VIRGINIA:
Denied public office to anyone who denied the,
"Christian
religion to be true, or the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be of Divine
authority."
The Colonial
documents written up in the home country of the colonists who came to North America and
was usually issued by the king of that country. The Charter granted to the Colonists:
1). Certain
lands in the New World;
2).
Established the general rules and laws by which the colony would be guided; and
3). Stated
the purpose or purposes for which the colony was being founded.
The first of
these Charters was granted by James I of England on April 10, 1606, for the settlement and
possession of Virginia. Now, keep in mind that this is a government document. This
document speaks of the colonists who first erected government institutions in America as
having;
"...desires
for the furtherance of so noble a work which may by the providence of Almighty God,
hereafter tend to the glory of His divine Majesty, in the propagating of the Christian
religion to such people as yet live in ignorance of the true knowledge and worship of God,
and may in time bring the infidels and savages, living in those parts, to human civility,
and to a settled and quiet government."
The Charter
of Plymouth council granted by James I on November 2, 1620, begins,
"In the
name of God, Amen. We, whose names are under-written...having undertaken, for the glory of
God and the advancement of the Christian faith...combine ourselves into a civil body
politic, for our better ordering and preservation, and furtherance of the ends
aforesaid."
The March 4,
1644, Charter, issued by Charles I for the Colony of Massachusetts Bay mentioned the
orderly conduct of the colonists;
"...to
the knowledge and obedience of the only true God, and the Savior of mankind, and the
Christian faith."
The Rhode
Island Charter directs the civil administration so that the people might:
"...be
in the better capacity to defend themselves in their rights and liberties against all
enemies of the Christian faith."
In the
Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, it was written on April 3, 1644,
"It was
ordered that the judicial laws of God, as they were delivered to Moses...be a rule to all
the courts in this jurisdiction in their proceedings against offenders..."
There are
literally thousands of other documents that could be quoted, but they are almost never
mentioned in our modern anti-Christ classrooms or pulpits. However, the question is: Was
America founded upon Jesus Christ and Christianity, or are the atheists and agnostics
correct in saying America is a pluralist society, not a Christian one? The evidence is
overwhelming that the thoughts about America by both king and commoner were bound up with
a vision of the gospel of the kingdom of Jesus Christ. We do not refer to church or
missionary documents but to civil documents signed by the king or another authorized
people in the government. These are political or governmental documents whose main
purpose, like our Constitution, was to put in writing the order of government and the
purposes of that government. These documents are foundation stones, not of American
churches, not of religious movements, but the foundation stones of the American
government, foundation stones of the United States of America.
Destroying
A Nation "While
it is my view that not every involvement of religion in public life is unconstitutional, [http://laws.findlaw.com/US/374/203.html]
I consider the exercises at bar a form of involvement which clearly violates the
Establishment Clause", Justice Brennan, who should be dug up and buried in a foreign
country for issuing this ruling and destroying 2 centuries of Christian progress under the
US Constitution.
