Founding Father, President George Washington violates separation of church and state with Thanksgiving Proclamation

Hey all you church/state revisionists, we invite you to spin your way out of this historical fact.

This is the text of George Washington's October 3, 1789 national Thanksgiving Proclamation; as printed in The Providence Gazette and Country Journal, on October 17, 1789.

Whereas it is the duty of all 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; and whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me "to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness."

Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted; for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations, and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally, to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand, at the city of New York, the third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine.

G. Washington.

Pastors visit Washington DC - reaquaint themselves with nations Christian heritage

MFI and 30 pastors just returned from a Congressional Pastors Briefing in Washington DC. The briefing included a tour of our Christian heritage at the Capitol. The historical evidence of our Founding Fathers Christan faith coupled with the mountain of paintings, inscriptions and statues is overwhelming.

Anyone claiming that our Founding Fathers were not Christian, and that the original intent of their greatest gift, our Constitution, was to cleanse expressions of faith from the public square is ignorant of the historical facts. Sadly, ignorant due to the revisionist agenda of our public schools.

The Capitol Rotunda resounds with our Christian heritage. A minimalist review of the life size paintings covering the walls depict a prayer meeting, baptism and two bible studies. Another captures the 59 signers of the Declaration of Independence; 29 of which had seminary degrees.

One painting by John Gadsby Chapman depicts Pocahontas - being baptised. After which she changed her name to Rebeca. Bet you didn't catch that in the Walt Disney movie.
