*[Note: In no way am I endorsing “modern” methods of worship that violate the literal word of the Bible or deny God/Jesus, just modern worship music and less formal/stilted/dated language/conversation when appropriate.]*
Regarding KJV/Anglicans - Our Founders envisioned a free Republic, and they understood the arbitrary nature and travesty of King James establishing himself by law as de facto caliph in A.D. 1611.
The Anglican Church was founded as a State Institution and as such, all subordinates of the King in all his territories were then members of the Church of England, not by choice; but by royal ordinance.
Being visionaries, the Founders recognized the need to guarantee our freedom to worship our Creator independently, and they were also men who publicly invoked God’s help every time they assembled. They did not foresee, nor would they have allowed, the formation of a society that might possibly enact laws forbidding Bibles and prayer.
God Bless America, MAGA!
That would have been a worse evil than the evil of lacking a designated nanny church.
Can you imagine if Barack Hussein had been by statute the head of the Church of the United States? Out Founding Fathers were wise and prudent in ways I never would have predicted.
