An anti American hit piece!
I am both a strong apostolic Christian and an actual historian.
This video is hogwash!
It is a hit piece on our founders created by fishing for bits of quotes, pulled out of all contextual background and twisted into ridiculous false statements.
Who else does this? Satan...
This sad video "arm chair generals" the primitive undeveloped faith of those who lived in times where their church cultures and biblical understandings where still deeply influenced by the the dead faith of the church of England. Heck, they where 1 generation from still burning witches... and they thought the rejection of witch trials was a big theological improvement at the time.
The video judges a people who lived 270 years ago by post-1st great awakening, pre Asuza Street revival, and pre modern theological doctrinal development made only possibleby revelation and world wide communication technology, which they had no posible theolgical concept of.
Let's add on the fact that they presented Paine as some sort of spiritual guru of the time. The man was a famous tavern dwelling, agnostic at best drunk, and all the founders knew this. But, he was also used by God to write pamphlets which saved our very nations future. They abused Franklin too. Making him out as a spiritual authority when anyone of the people in his time would have laughed at this notion, including himself. But, Franklin's patriotism, courage and scientific fame was also used by God to secure victory via France. Yeah, God can use all things and people for HIS glory, and HE did to form America!
The producers of this are clearly separatist Christians looking to fill pews by slandering the very, imperfect, human flawed, yet brave men who fought to make it possible for these guys to have the freedom to produce such slander.
There where many very well documented miracles throughout our struggle for independence which clearly show the clear and direct hand of God providentially creating this nation. But these religious separatist ignore this huge body of evidence in a sad attempt distroy God's America simply to say that God can only move inside their 4 church walls alone. Our way or the highways!
The truth is this, God was able to use even these imperfect men as founding fathers, inpite of their primitive faith, to change the world and bring unimaginable freedom to earth for the first time in its history.
This is a documentary is a pathetic attempt at revisionist history... It is un-American attempt to undermine the miracle of our Republic.. a sad and desperately horrible witness of our faith, and makes God look weak.
If I had the time, even I could point by point dismantle 95% of every statement made in this rubbish pile.
Christians need to spend the time digesting multiple books and even read the actual hand written correspondence of the time before they go off claiming they "know" what our founders truly believed and why.
By the way, for the record of the religious who don't like this, I confess that Jesus Christ is LORD. Now, what are you gonna say?
