Clearly, the further we get from faith, the worse things become, from crime to government.

I think a faith renewal/revival is all that can save America — and Western Civilization overall.

I hope it’s not too late already.

Christianity and Judaism are the core of our Nation. Without it faith in God, there is no republic. Despite what many think, there is no such thing as separation of church and state in the Constitution. That “wall” came from a letter of Jefferson’s which did not define his beliefs and certainly did not define law. In fact, Jefferson allowed the Capitol Building to be used for church services. Our government in only restricted from promoting one faith over another not from supporting faith in general. Why? Because faith is the core of our nation, It’s independence, and the US Constitution.

We live in the greatest country in thr world in spite of our shortcomings. God has provided us with our successes and continues to watch over us. Historically great nations loose their way after 250 years and yet we continue to thrive thanks to his kindness and forgiving attitude. We must never lose our faith in God and we must continue to appreciate whatever comes in the future.

The only way to change America is to change hearts. Yes, faith and prayer in God is priority. But which God? The God we need is the God Of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We can only come to Him through Jesus/Yeshua our Lord. If hearts are not changed in all people and parties in America, then the unchanged hearts of the other party will get in and undo changes made now. Jesus is the only answer for America. But people seem to not care as long as it doesn’t affect our pocket books. They love wealth and money more than Jesus. God will take care of those who love Him. Unfortunately, I see bad things coming in 2032 at most. It may start in 2028 but that depends von who gets in. Jesus, save America!

The first 2 choices are both good and correct answers. It was difficult to choose just one. USA would not exist without the faith of our founding fathers. Faith in God was included in the beliefs set up within the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. Rights are from God, not government. All men are CREATED equal. Without faith in God, this great experiment will dissolve into a land of hate, chaos, and lawlessness. This would our self destruction.

Did you ever wonder why THIS country, was established here, in this vast landscape, with ALL of the resources needed to flourish, what is your answer? The answer is GOD. THIS was the place He chose to put the people necessary to establish the greatest, most compassionate, successful society in the history of mankind. It was no accident. You cannot read our founding documents and miss the reliance on Divine Providence our Founders insisted upon. If you do, you need to reread them. God’s hand in the establishment of this country is inescapeable.

Our churches need to do better they have failed us. Between NGO‘s stealing from the government or acting on behalf of anti-American entities. Churches need to be more for the people and culture that built this country and stop waving ridiculous. LGBTQXYZ flags. Churches are closed to the public if you want to go in and pray during the day most churches are closed. They have completely failed us. We haven’t failed them. They have failed us.

The ACLU (American Communist Liberties Assoc) should be kicked to the curb, and we need to start teaching ethics and morals in schools again. We see the results of taking God out of our culture every day. The court decision to remove religious education is flawed and not based on a correct understanding of the constitution. Judges who do not have a sound foundation in the constitution, and instead render judgments based on current social practices, should not be on the bench, and that includes the supreme court.

There is a reason why God is mentioned four times in the Declaration of Independence. That is because our founders knew this country must be founded on Christian principles to succeed. We have lost that foundation over the last several decades and need to find it again.

Research the arguments of our founding Fathers, God and Christian, Judaism are injected into the leadership of our founding. The Socialist party( Dumbacrats) will never acknowledge this. No Muslim nation. Look at Britain. Almost gone,again. Don’t be fooled by the continuous lies of the D party. Not the lies of CNN, MS, ABC, NBC and CBS to name just a few. Stand your ground, much blood and prayer was spilled over it!

Sunday, May 17, 2026, tomorrow, is the 250th Anniversary of the First Day of Fasting and Prayer for America declared by the U.S. Congress (on Sunday, May 17, 1776) under the leadership of its President, the famous John Hancock, who subsequently signed our Declaration of Independence with, as we all know, the largest personal signature of them all. Yes, faith in God helped establish our nation and is necessary for its renewal and future strength! (God says so! Psalm 33:12)

Our country is struggling now due to the worship of other gods. There is one God that begat one Son and one Holy Ghost. When we remove all the fake faith and return to the true God of Heaven, then we will have the Nation our forefathers built on. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh to the Father but by him. .

When the founding fathers meant different faiths, they meant Christian faith which included Baptist, congregationalust, Presbyterian. They even included Judiasm because of the belief in the God Of Israel. We were to believe in Him. But America has become multicultural and now we have different religions such as Hindu, Islam, paganism, humanism. Society has and is trying to remove anything about the God of Israel out of schools and public institutions. I do not have anything against people vot those different religions. Shower. Jesus states that I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to God the Father but through me. Either He is lying or crazy. I believe He is telling the truth. As Christians, we must live people and walk in the truth. There is only one way to God, but today we are saying that there are multiple ways. Our founding fathers believed Jesus was the way. Some were not believers but they respected God. Jefferson was not a believer. He was a diest who believed in God – a higher being. He even had an Quran. But he respected the ten commandments even as a slave owner. He respected God. Yes I thank God for living in America. I appreciate her. If you go to other places such as Central America and parts of South America, you should appreciate your freedom. I think we do not understand how blessed we are until it’s too late.

I’m not sure there is much of a difference between 1. and 2., because you can’t get to 2. without 1. becoming prominent. Either way, the presence of God in the documents that built this country belies the deism notion the lefties like to fall back on to downplay this concept.

The Constitution would have never worked without Faith-based values and principles. It’s what separates us and our form of government from that of the Euros. We should strive NOT to be like them and get back to what makes our country the greatest ever created!

For the last 60 years, we’ve tried pushing faith out of the public square. It has brought us nothing good. Abortion, divorce, skyrocketing single motherhood, violent crime, institutional fraud, tribalism, school shootings and psychological confusion to the point of insanity. We are totally lost without God. The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

America must turn back as a nation to God. It begins in the house of God.. God’s people (who are called by His name).should humble themselves and pray, turn from their wicked ways and then God will hear from heaven and heal their land. I believe this scripture (paraphrased here) is from 2 Chronicles. .Heaven is waiting on the fervent, effectual prayers of the righteous..We can say God Bless America…..but how bout we say as well BLESS GOD ….AMERICA… HAPPY 250TH USA!

If you can’t assimilate to the United States and your religion forces you to disobey our laws. Then your religion should be banned from our country and you should be banned from entering or deported if here.
Religious freedom until you start breaking laws based on your religion.

Faith in Jesus Christ changes lives whenever that faith is 100%. There are no 95% Christians , you either are or your not. God knows the difference when you’re playing games , like I used to do. Until your faith gets to the point of a 100% commitment in Jesus , beyond children, father, mother, you’re unworthy of Him as your creator & absolute king of the universe. A 100% Faith like that changes everything, & faith less than that changes NOTHING, and the God who knows everything , knows your heart & the difference! Jesus loves you & is chasing after you , repent & put 100% trust in Him to save yourself and America.

Most of our founding fathers were raised in Christain traditions. Many of them attended church regularly. George Washington spoke of God’s providence and prayed in public during the Winter at Valley Forge.
So, faith and prayer are essential for our countries future and strength.

The American Atheists’ BS to the contrary, our Founders ALL believed in God and nearly all were regular trinitarian Christians. Ben Franklin is often called a Deist [believing in a sidelines God who doesn’t “interfere” with man] but his speech at the Constitutional Convention invoked God’s help. Jefferson was skeptical of miracles but believed in God as well. The others were basically like us today! Adams said our nation was made for a Godly and righteous people and that we needed less laws IF we followed God’s laws.

We need not be shy about our faith in God and the importance of Common Law to our constitution! As demonstrated by the rise of Sharia Law, it has demonstrated that it is not compatible with our constitution. We do have freedom of religion, but Sharia Law, strictly followed should never be allowed to be implemented anywhere in our country. As practiced over seas, it promotes “death to all who oppose it”. And I mighty add, it is not the god that made this nation great and blessed our founding fathers with wisdom in creating our form of government. May our nation return to its roots and GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS our GREAT Nation!

Faith is extremely important, as are the basic values and principles found within religious practice which emphasizes family, morality, and faith. Strong family values coupled with a faith-lead adherence to law, and Judeo-Christian principles framed in the 10 commandments and in our Constitution, would most likely reduce crime.
we must face the fact that there is a big divide in our country, and some believe and act on the idea that “the ends justify the means” this is actually immoral and wrong and it is the basis of Communism. Unfortunately we see it spewing out from some of our leaders. This has to be recognized and called out.

“Faith” is too glib in this discussion. Truly, we need activity that comes from religious faith. It’s the old “actions speak louder than words” thing. Like the crap going around like “I’m spiritual but not religious.” We are God’s voice and his hands.

Without Faith this country is going under. What the Fathers of our country created and fought for will be gone forever. We are becoming an amoral lawless anarchy. Those who have left religion and glom unto the worshipping of the devil will not succeed. We all need to hold onto something but worshipping communism isn’t one of them.

REQUIREMENT TO BE IN GOVT. These days it is “fashionable” for some in govt. to be anti-American. THUS, there should be a “PATRIOTISM TEST”, and any that do not pass it, should not be allowed in govt. EXAMPLE: Obama made it clear that he was anti-American, e.g. saying his allegiance was to another country, not America. This is UNACCEPTABLE. His actions for the next 8 years showed that in fact, he was NOT FOR AMERICA. Thus Trump got on the right track, being FOR AMERICA. (I’d go so far to say that many against Trump, are because they’re against America/Trump’s MAGA. This includes, among others, MOST OF THE democrat communist party.)

In a matter of days America will celebrate 250 years of existence. Have we grown as a country with amelioration, or have we become vestigial? Have we become wiser in the understanding of the intent of the founders? What was their intent? Next to the Holy Bible, is the second greatest document ever written to live by, really that hard to understand that a maladroit gang of sapiens on the Supreme Court can’t get it right? To lucubrate producing judges, the answer is as simple as the question!
 
An in-depth study of the Constitution, Declaration, Bill-of-Rights, Federalist Papers, and letter writings of the founders reveals the answer clearly. Their goal was to create a document whereby individuals would govern themselves and the governments’ only purpose would be to police that right. No more Kings ruling the people. The individual was King of his or her own life. It’s really that simple. A study of Jefferson and Hamilton, in particular, is all one needs to understand their thinking. Jefferson was for, and Hamilton was against. Unfortunately, over time, Hamilton’s beliefs have won the battle, and we are losing the greatest form of governing that ever existed.
 
A study of the first 10 amendments reveals how much the founders trusted government!
