Protestant America has forgotten where it came from

Okay...let me clear that up. when I talk about being "more pure" I should have said "without bias." That's what I meant, but I rushed my response. He was saying that the Catholic response is all lies and I was saying "so is the response of the bigots to whom you are listening."

Trying to get virulently anti-Catholic Protestants to admit anything good about the Catholic faith is like trying to get Hitler to say anything good about Jews other than "The only good Jew is a dead Jew." Or like trying to get some KKK member to say anything good about black people.

Capeish?

You mean like the Puritans who didn't tolerate anyone who were more than willing to persecute dissident thinkers?

America in general, was never Christian in the true sense. No doubt the founding fathers were such as you described, and masons as well. Although there were many believers here, for the most part, America was made up of apostate sects and founded upon murder theft and rape of the native people. On top of that, enslaving Africans. The reformation during the dark ages cleared some light in the truth of the gospel and broke away from the tyranny of Popery and its false teachings. But most denominational sects which derive from the reformation, has clearly moved from those truths in our day. I will say this, biblical soteriology is only represented by what is called "Calvinism" today. Specifically in the doctrines of grace, which TULIP describes. Salvation is the Sovereign decree of God, conditioned in the substitutionary work of Christ, and regenerating power of the Holy Spirit. And never based upon anything which man does or wills. And basically outside of this, is apostate.. And that includes most of these denominational sects and cults, including Popery and its monstrosities and blasphemous teachings today
