#1066 reply to #1040The idea of equality of man, comes from the idea that God, the CHRISTIAN God, created all of us, equally.
They state that clearly in the Declaration.
Where in the Declaration of Independence is the CHRISTIAN God referenced?
The Declaration of Independence is a rebellion document to secure God Given rights.
After those GOD GIVEN RIGHTS were secure a Constitution was written specifically neutral on the Type of God from whence those rights came.
- “the Declaration explained and justified a rebellion to secure God-given rights, the Constitution is a blueprint for stable and effective republican government in a free country.
- ReligionFebruary 22, 2016 WHY GOD IS IN THE DECLARATION BUT NOT THE CONSTITUTION by Anthony J. Minna Why God is in the Declaration but not the Constitution - Journal of the American Revolution Unlike the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution contains no reference to God. At first, this may seem odd.
You are quite bold, to put in writing at this point, “the CHRISTIAN God, created all of us, equally” and that the founders “..., state that clearly in the Declaration.”
CLEARLY? you say. CHRISTIAN God.

#1074 When will Correll answer some questions?
In his post #1065 reply to #1037 the questions are dodged#1074 Of course it means Jefferson and Sherman both fall under the general term Christian. Of course they do and that is really the point that you continue to avoid, You have not responded to my #1040 reply to #1038"Christian" is a general term. That you have found two Christian Founders, with individual distinctions between them, does not mean they do not both fall under the general term Christian.#1074 So you chose the “toddler” insult instead of providing a substantive reply to your statement also in Post #1019You are Unable to define what Christians contributed specifically and directly to the founding.#1074. I have repeatedly shown that I understand what ‘general term’ means and agreed that it applies to Jefferson and Sherman equally. It’s clear that I understand the phrase in post #1040.Christian is a general term.#1074 So I’ll repeat the questions’ from Post. I agree. My point was that being so, makes the case that America was not founded as a Christian Nation.
#1037 reply to #1019;
It must be that America was not founded as a Christian Nation if “Christian” is nothing but a general term that does not identify who the Christians were and what their religious belief had to do with the founding of the United States of America and writing of the Constitution.
I have been asking for the Christian distinction about two of the most prominent founders. Thomas Jefferson and Roger Sherman. One was a devout Protestant Christian in the tradition of French theologian John Calvin. The other personally respected Jesus of Nazareth as a great moral teacher but with none of the hocus pocus of the Bible. Jefferson considered Calvinism to be “daemonism” ...writing..... If ever a man worshipped a false God ... John Calvin did.
Since both men in Porter Rockwell’s Christian Nationalism slogan are Christians in Porter Rockwell’s view, and hold equal status in their beliefs as Christians, we need clarification from Porter Rockwell whether he means the ‘“daemonism” In the Calvinist Pro-Church Camp or the humanist Christian moral philosophy in the anti-church, anti-Theologian Jefferson Camp.
This was my question posed in Post #1018#1074 Maybe you don’t understand the question. If so, you can always ask for clarification.Is it Jefferson’s anti-Church, anti-Calvinism Christian-ness, or the Calvinism it Roger Sherman the Constitutional Calvinist.
So if we are to accept Porter Rockwell’s request to define America as a Christian Nation, is It based upon two very much involved founders; was it a John Calvin reform Christian or was it a Jesus the human moral teacher Christian.
#1080 reply to #229When this country made it a requirement to be a Christian in order to hold elective office;
Except if you mean the United States of America it never made it a requirement because "Constitution regards the conscience of the Jew as sacred as that of the Christian." And “all legislative interference in matters of religion is contrary to the genius of Christianity; and that there are no doctrines or observances inculcated by the Christian religion which require the arm of civil power either to enforce or sustain them; that we consider every connection between church and state at all times dangerous to civil and religious liberty."
- Senator Richard M. Johnson of Kentucky reminded Congress that the "Constitution regards the conscience of the Jew as sacred as that of the Christian." A resolution by the legislature of Indiana stated "in that all legislative interference in matters of religion is contrary to the genius of Christianity; and that there are no doctrines or observances inculcated by the Christian religion which require the arm of civil power either to enforce or sustain them; that we consider every connection between church and state at all times dangerous to civil and religious liberty."

I see scant evidence that you actually read anything I write in order to engage in meaningful discussion or review of facts.

FOR THE RECORD: Porter Rockwell is so desperate for factual evidence that America was founded as a Christian Nation he is citing a Court Case made about 100 years after the founding.
Stop lying. I've been clear that you've made your case as well as you could, and you lost.
Irrelevant, dumb ass
My immediate response to Ding, was that, “ I am not ignoring the influence that Christianity contributed to the founding of America. You are seriously wrong if you think that.”I think you are ignoring the influence that Christianity played. From education to law to values and principles Christianity touched every aspect of colonial life.

#1096 The case I defend was made by the founding fathers. Shoutout!!!! to Madison and Jefferson.
Not one Christian nationalist can explain how it is possible to have a Christian Nation when at least one of the states and the national Constitution expressly forbids it.
- On January 16, 1786, the Assembly enacted the statute into the state's law. The statute disestablished the Church of England in Virginia and guaranteed freedom of religion to people of all religious faiths, including Christians of all denominations, Jews, Muslims, and Hindus.

In case Christian Nationalists don’t know, (A) 1786 came before 1789. (B). Jews, Muslims and Hindus are not Christians.
- March 4, 1789 On June 21, 1788, New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify the document, and it was subsequently agreed that government under the U.S. Constitution would begin on March 4, 1789. In June, Virginia ratified the Constitution, followed by New York in July. History Channel › u-s-constituti...U.S. Constitution ratified - HISTORY
