In the Bible it is said "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's" but "No taxation without representation" is nowhere to be found. And it is clearly stated that we have to submit to earthly authorities (Romans 13:1-6).
So, on what Biblical grounds can we justify the American Revolution? Try as you might, you will find none.
And this is not surprising because the so called "Founding Fathers" were not Christians. Some were "Deists" (which was a polite way to say "agnostic") and some were outright atheists, though most avoided saying so openly.
If we had stayed under the King of England, would things have been worse? Probably not. Look at Canada. Is it a bad country? Does everybody hates Canadians the way they hate Americans these days?
And now we have Trump. Trump the blasphemer. Trump the crass quasi-incestuous womanizer. Trump the so called "Christian" who never feels the need to repent.
America was conceived in sin and it has given birth to a monster. That is the justice of God calling us to repentance.
I believe that every country has some "sin" in it's past and present.
I live in Canada and would not know of any other country that I would move to if things got really bad here.
However, we have our issues with corruption in politics, government, police and military too.
I kinda chuckled when I read your post because the US is just the leader or big brother to Canada on a lot of issues.
I don't believe your forefathers are to blame here. The US constitution is, probably, the only thing holding your country back from a faster fall into a godless mess. That peice of paper is the wall that you politicians cannot knock down. No matter how much they would like to, that document saves you from your arrogant political leaders.
As for Trump..... He is a worry, however, what are you going to do? You have a felon, Hillary, who scares me more than any legitimate political candidate as of yet. Face it, Trump is not a politician, Hillary is a puppet of the system and placed there to do as she is told.
Lord help the USA, I have no words to describe my concern for your country. You are bankrupt, financially but it just hasn't become apparent. The US will not recover from it's debt. Your leaders have an agenda, like all people in power do, and it's not "for the people".
It was not the revolution that was the sin that is doing you in. It's simple, you are supposed to be a nation "under God". Your money says "In God we Trust" Yet you have taken God out of everything. The ACLU is militant against anything to do with God.
Your nation may have started as "one nation under God" but it is not moving but rushing, toward "one Nation who rejects God". A nation which opposes God.
Canada is not much better. We, in Ontario, have a majority Liberal government with a criminal, corrupt, egotistical leader who has a personal agenda and a chip on her shoulder, being a Lesbian, who plays the "homophobe" card to anyone who opposes her whacked ideas that are killing our Provence on many levels.
Our Federal government is also a majority Liberal governing party. Our Prime minister is a boy who is in love with himself and has no experience. He runs around, shirtless, taking "selfies" with all these people and leaning heavily on the legacy of his fathers past as an icon Prime Minister.
We are taxed to death. We pay more than 50% of our earned dollars, in one way or another, into the governments pocket as one type of tax or another. If I was to pay all my tax dollars to the governments, Provincial or Federal, up front, I would give them all my wages from January 1st to June 7th. The US was April 27.
It's not just the US that is in trouble. It is the entire world that is in disarray.
The end is near. The one world government is coming, Come Lord Jesus....
Maranatha.
