We have just celebrated another July forth and it was a great one after a year of shut down due to Covid. A Congressman from California, Maxine Waters, stated that the Declaration of Independence was for white men only. What a shame we have government leaders that do not know our history and want to rewrite it to fit their wishes and hate.
God first showed himself to man when he warned Noah to build an ark. He later called on Abraham to travel to the Promised Land. The next great revelation of God was with Moses. The great Jewish State was officially begun. We see revelations through the prophets and finally the birth of Jesus Christ. Many believe that God's revelations to man stopped when Jesus was crucified but I believe God has and is still revealing himself to us if we only try to find him. One of the great revelations was the mechanical revolution which may have started with the building of the pipe organ. It was the most complicated mechanical construction at the time with the piano being the second most complicated. For this I believe that it should still be used in Church services. We can document many instances when all of a sudden man has learned new and significant scientific and political methods. One of those was the American experiment. I believe that our founders were hand picked by God to found a country that would allow man to worship as he wished and to give each person a chance to better his or her life. The fact that each of the founders elected to leave government when their respective jobs were done and return to their homes and former lives should tell us something. It was a little different than today where we see politicians that have bloated their salaries and benefits way above those of the common man. They get in office and never leave. Most are corrupted after two years but stay to reap the awards at our expense. We have in a short time completely ruined the founder's wish for a completely free and independent country. They would never fathom the government paying its citizen not to work and then not wanting to help them when they went to work. Jefferson did not want a national army so anyone thinking that he or the others would like Obamacare or the other welfare programs are truly mistaken. Of course Franklin held up the final vote on the Constitution trying to stop their plan to pay Senators and representatives. He said to pay them would be to corrupt them. They should have listened to him.
Mrs. Waters and the rest of Congress that has chosen to hate our country should read a little of the founding history. If you go on the Monticello web site you can find the first draft of the Declaration of Independence. It says that all men are created equal and goes on to condemn the British for forcing slavery on the American colony. Slavery would have been abolished by this document written by Jefferson. The Southern states rejected the language about slavery because slaves were part of their economic success. To unite them with the northern colonies Jefferson removed the slave provisions in the next drafts and said that removing slavery from our land would be left up to future generations. Sounds quite prophetic to me and I believe that this was also a revelation from God and a command for future generations to continue to live in this free land that he had sponsored.
We have the most unique country in the world and the only country where an African descendant that is black can become President or Vice President. No other country allows the lowest economic group to move to the top economic group no matter what your race or heritage is. Even in England all religions have to pay taxes to the Church of England and many countries limit religious freedom altogether. Accepting all races and religions has been our way of life since our beginning but it is being tested now by a few that have chosen to find fault with our way of life. I just read that people of Indian descent have an average annual income of $160,000.00, those of Nigerian descent are not far behind. The average annual salary of white people in America is about $65,000.00, which kind of erases the theory of systematic racism. Hatred of our nation must be combatted with the truth and teaching only the true history including that which was bad. Our future depends on it and those that embrace Socialism and Communism should also read a little history to find that it has failed miserably every time it has been tried. Even the Puritans had to give it up before they could continue to prosper. God is still giving us his wishes if we only listen and stop trying to take his place.
