IS AMERICA A "CHRISTIAN" NATION?

I am a Christian. What does that statement mean? What
does it say to you? Are you a Christian? What is a Christian?
If one was to take a poll, a variety of responses would be
received as to the answer to that last question, so I hereby
propose to advance what some of them might be:

A Christian is a non-Jew or a non-Muslim, or a non-
member of any other organized or unorganized (dis-
organized?) religion.

A Christian is one who was reared by parents who
professed Christianity, no matter to what degree they
may or may not have practiced it.

A Christian is someone who has not been involved
in any way with any religion, assuming therefore that
he/she is a "Christian".

A Christian is a person who has been active in
attendance or who claims a local church as his or hers.

A Christian is one who has believed the Gospel
accounts of the life and person of Jesus Christ, and
consequently has accepted Him and His teachings as
the pattern for their lives.

Make sense? Any variation or combination of the
aforementioned may apply in some cases (yours?),
but I believe that this is an appropriate overview.

Why do we bother to raise the questions? Is it at
all important who Jesus is, or what He taught, or
that we have some familarity with Him? YES!!

Recently, the man who is the president of the United
States made a comment during one of his addesses
on his European trip, that "America is not a Christian
nation".....! Huh? Duh? Is he serious? He did go on
to state that we are not "Jewish" or "Muslim" , but
the die was cast for a rebuttal, and here it is:

AMERICA IS A CHRISTIAN NATION! We were
founded by God-fearing and God-honoring people
whose intent was to incorporate the principles of
the Bible, in particular the teachings of Jesus Christ,
into the fiber of government, families, and individuals.

Mr. Obama, if you had paid attention to the teachers
in your youthful education,.......oh, wait a minute, you
had a Muslim upbringing, didn't you! No wonder you
have no concept of Christianity. Sorry. (Not really.)

You "converted to Christianity" at the age of 28, while
listening to Jeremiah Wright (I won't disgrace the title
of reverend in reference to him), whose brand of
"christianity" (if you can call it that) involved the
delivering of diatribes that denounced America,
"whiteys", and numerous other subjects. For 20
years you listened to this man berate the churches,
government, and people of this great nation, and you
never said a word of disagreement! Huh!

Methinks that your so-called "coversion" was
politically motivated, as you knew (and so do
the "powers behind you") that Americans would
not elect a Muslim to the presidency. Thus, it
behooved you to expeditiously "convert" to a brand
of bastardized religion in the guise of being "one of us".

Do you look out of the windows of your limousine as
you're being driven down the street? Can you not see
the myriad of churches and synagogues as you pass
by them? They are not monuments or simply great
pieces of architecture. They are the centers of
worship, however full or active they may be, that
represent the MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS that
are American citizens.

Granted, many who call themselves Christians are
so only by name, or only because of upbringing, but
CHRISTIANITY IS ALIVE AND WELL in the hearts,
minds, and daily living of millions of this great nations'
citizens! As long as we live and as far as we're
concerned, the United States of America has always
been, IS, and will continue to be "a Christian nation",
no matter what you or anyone else may say, or may
try to do to change our character!

Have you ever looked into the claims of Jesus Christ?
Have you ever read the Gospels? Are you familiar
with Josh McDowell's "Evidence" books that clearly,
intelligently, and very scholarly present the truths
of the prophecies and fulfillments concerning the
coming and arrival of "the Messiah"? No, I'm not
referring to you, no matter what Mr. Farrahkan said.
Jesus fulfilled dozens of prophecies concerning his
coming, had his life documented by secular as well
as religious historians, and is THE ONLY LIVING
"RELIGIOUS LEADER" who died and resurrected!

I have been seriously doubtful of your religion
ever since you declared during the "Compassion Forum"
at Messiah College that you are "pro-death" and an
"evolutionist". Not exactly your words. I intend to
speak to those two subjects on another blog, but
suffice to say that TRUE CHRISTIANS believe the
Bible which states that we were Divinely and purposely
created by God, and that LIFE is precious at any and
all stages, including in the womb, which is clearly
mentioned in THE SCRIPTURES!

I WILL DO MY BEST TO PRAY FOR YOU AND THOSE
LIKE YOU WHO OPPOSE THE TRUTH OF CHRISTIANITY
AND THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD, AND THE SAVING
POWER OF GOD'S ONLY SON, JESUS CHRIST!!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!
