God, the Bible, and US History Part 2

In the continuing battle against the Christian history of America by the media, politicians, teachers, and other groups, Christians need to be armed with the facts about our country's founding. Whether in elementary to college, our young people need to know these things. Though I am not sure that any of America's founding fathers were New Testament Christians, their belief in God, the Bible, and Jesus Christ was evident from their words. Over and over again they sought the providence of God in the American experiment. In Part 2 we will see even more quotes from and about our founding fathers.


Well known cry of the Revolutionary War: “We recognize no sovereign but God and no King but Jesus.”

"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." --October 11, 1798 John Adams

"I have examined all religions, as well as my narrow sphere, my straightened means, and my busy life, would allow; and the result is that the Bible is the best Book in the world. It contains more philosophy than all the libraries I have seen." December 25, 1813 letter to Thomas Jefferson – John Adams

"A Bible and a newspaper in every house,a good school in every district -all studied and appreciated as they merit -are the principal support of virtue, morality, and civil liberty."
Benjamin Franklin

“It cannot be emphasized too strongly that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity and freedom of worship here.” Patrick Henry

Some Other Signers of the Constitution:
“Neither...let it be overlooked, that public utility pleads most forcibly for the general distribution of the Holy Scriptures.” James McHenry

"Blasphemy against the Almighty is denying his being or providence, or uttering contumelious reproaches on our Saviour Christ. It is punished, at common law by fine and imprisonment, for Christianity is part of the laws of the land." C.C. Pinckney

Besides the Bible, “no book holds greater esteem.” Roger Sherman (only person to sign the Articles of Association, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the United States Constitution)

"To the character of hero and patriot, this good man added that of Christian. Although the
greatest man upon earth, he disdained not to humble himself before his God and to trust
in the mercies of Christ.” Gunning Bedford about George Washington
