On Judgement Day you KJV advocates will find out you have been duped by a spiteful and ignorant Proddy king.
At the time of the American Revolution, the KJV was in full use. Remember, too, that there were only a few Catholics around. Here are a few quotes from some of our Founding Fathers:
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel [good news] of Jesus Christ! For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperty and freedom of worship here." Patrick Henry
"It is the duty of nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor." George Washington
"The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were... the general principles of Christianity... I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that these general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God." John Adams, 2nd Pres. of the U.S.
"The American Revolution is based on God, Christ and the Scriptures." Alexis DeToqville -- Philosopher and historian from France. DeToqville also said that what made America good could be found in her churches (ca. 1832)
MOTTO of the American Revolution: "No king but King Jesus!"
In 1893, I believe (can't remember the case name), the U.S. Supreme Court said that this was a Christian nation. They based their opinion on not one, not five, not ten, but 87 precedents. "We could have cited more," they wrote but thought 87 prededents were enough.
On Judgement Day you KJV advocates will find out you have been duped by a spiteful and ignorant Proddy king. When I worked for the FBI back in the '60's, my best friend from 3rd grade was a Catholic (my mother tried to raise me as a Christian Scientist but I refused) and she also worked for the Bureau. We went to a bible meeting one night and both of us became born-again. Both of us admitted we were sinners and in need in a savior. We claimed Jesus Christ as our savior and both of us felt the exact same experience - inexplicable cleanness, wholeness and overwhelming joy. If we weren't saved that night, I don't know what we were. On Judgment Day, my friend (still Catholic) and I will give King James your regards. BTW, what does "Proddy" mean?
