White House to host 9-hour prayer festival focused on Christian roots of U.S.

"Speaker of the House Mike Johnson told God he was worried about a sinister ideology running loose in the land.

That was Sunday, on the National Mall, at a nine-hour prayer rally called “Rededicate 250.” Johnson had been given what he called the “humble assignment” of bringing the crowd “straight to the Lord.” He prayed for courage and patriotism. He prayed for the republic. And then he asked God to protect America from people who insist that the American story “can only be understood through the lens of our sins.”

Wait, what?

My question leads to the real question: can you observe such a sign in America, put there in approval by the govt?

DennisF said:

Right. And I cannot vouch for all 13, but the original New England core had such statements in their founding documents.

Yes, I tend to write long sentences, but smart people (like you) can parse them okay.

Yes it was. It overthrew the existing constitutions of the Colonies and substituted the U.S. Constitution as the new basis for govt. That is what rebellions do.

DennisF said:

Yes, but before 1789, the govt was the colonial govt. It was replaced through the acts in 1789.

DennisF said:

That is not the rebellion I am referring to, but the subsequent one in 1789. The colonies became independent of Britain in 1776. Then a few years later, in 1789, the colonial govt was replaced by the U.S. govt.

The two assertions are not in conflict. The colonial govts recognized the lordship of Christ over the colonies, and their adherence to scripture in civil affairs shows this. George was king in name but the colonists had their own local govts of the states. The Articles of Confederation were their constitution.

It has everything to do with "religion" in that it replaced the biblical religion with an Enlightenment religion. Because Enlightenment humanism is different, even antithetic to Christianity, does not put it in a different category. It is an alternative.

Read Tupper Saussy's book and find out. Jesuits do not proclaim their secret activities to the world. The real question is whether the Freemasons (such as most of the U.S. Founders) are controlled by the Jesuits. That is my working hypothesis, and it appears to be for Saussy too.

Well, that settles that!

I am stating no more nor less that what I have stated about them. Learn to read.

One can kind of get that impression.

Thank you; they were the prophets - and created a cartoon series worth remembering!
The chorus was a chorus of voices, but Ragaini had the right solo voice for the two stanzas - a well-produced theme song!
