The Case for Truth...

My husband has two quotes that he says to me all the time. The first goes, "Remember, history is written by the Victors." The second quote says, " History is not necessarily truth." As a Christian, I never thought I would be found to say that the founding fathers of our country were not Christians. I can state that I do believe The Holy Bible is true. To find that some, not all, of the founding fathers were not Christian was a shock. You see, I had forgotten a very important lesson which God had taught me some time ago. Never trust the man, search it out for yourself. Read it with your own eyes before making judgement.

I have just finished reading the book by Tom Horn "Apollyon Rising 2012" . I do not and cannot say that he has it totally all right, but I would have to say that he pretty much ties up a lot of the loose bunny trails my husband and I have been trying to find answers to for quite some time. My husband prayed, when we made a major move, for God to show him the truth. We were both tired of the 'games' that so many Christians, and not just Christians, but people like to play. After a short while, I was beginning to seriously doubt my husband. I told him I thought it was very unfair for him to pray for God to show him the truth because that meant I had to face truth and I, quite honestly, didn't know if I was ready for the truth. Hold on, Baby! The ride's gonna get rough. God has taken so far from where we were in our walks as Christians. Basically, it was throw out everything you thought was foundational and start over based totally on The Bible. Funny how it always comes back to HIS WORD....It always was His Word and never did He mean for men to twist it so for their uses.

So back to the founding fathers...did they really say what we were told they said...Before you adamantly swear that they did, you might want to go search it out for yourself. Don't trust the preacher-man in the pulpit or the politician at the podium. If there is one thing the internet is great for, it is research. They have the original documents on line. You can read for yourself who said what. If you are brave, you can find where people have done the hard work for you...but again, take my warning..."Don't take my word for it, don't take your neighbor's word for it, your husband, wife, etc., etc. Go find out for yourself." I can guarantee you that you will come away with more insight and knowledge and maybe a better person for finding out for yourself who said what...
