John Adams and John Hancock: We Recognize No Sovereign but God, and no King but Jesus! [April 18, 1775]
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."
� "[July 4th] ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty." -John Adams in a letter written to Abigail on the day the Declaration was approved by Congress And it was for many years until secularism took over.
"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." --John Adams October 11, 1798
"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
"Without Religion this World would be Something not fit to be mentioned in polite Company, I mean Hell." [John Adams to Thomas Jefferson, April 19, 1817] Secularists often lift a quote, out of context, from this same letter: "This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it!" He was making a point, and reading the quote in context, no one would misunderstand it. The Secularists know exactly what they are doing--they are trying to deceive gullible people. 
How can we know anything about anything? That’s the real question |
