We were all raised to be in awe of the statue of Liberty that stands in New York harbor. My husband and I visited it when we went through New York on our way to Israel.
It brings about good feelings because we were all raised to believe it was a symbol of freedom. Sadly this fuzzy happy feeling we get when we see it is based on what we were taught to feel about it all our lives.
The statue was modeled after Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, but we were never told this because America at that time was pretending to be a Christian nation and the Christians would not have endorsed it if they knew what it really represented. The designer of the statue was inspired by images of Libertas.
The statue of Liberty is a magnet for lightening bolts. God is not the symbol of righteousness for our country but rather a false god of the Greeks is the symbol America used to make freedom to be and do anything we wanted the god of this nation. z
Has anyone noticed that "in God we trust" is on our money? Why our money? Why not place it in the courtrooms on the wall or anywhere else except money. I don't know why they chose to place that phrase on the money but it does appear that money is the god of America.
Freedom and money became the gods that American's worshiped more than the God of the Bible. Born-again believers have always been a remnant in the world including our country.
I am reminded of all the fancy buildings the people have built to worship in that wreak of pride and opulence. The people of America spend more time speaking about their freedom than they do about Christ, this ought to be a big clue.
We were raised to believe this was a Christian nation, but I don't believe it because of all the ungodly decisions down through the centuries that worked against the God of the Bible. There were decisions made in this country that resembled Christianity but the nation as a whole mixed a little Christianity with a whole lot of paganism but chose the word "Christian" to identify us with God even though most people didn't read the Bible or defend it's truths.
God blessed this country and used it to bring the gospel to the world but the more we depended on our freedoms than we did God the more filth we developed and disseminated to the rest of the world. We are the world providers to the rest of the world, of every form of filth known to man.
With immense wealth comes pride, arrogance and rebellion against God.
If we had been a Christian nation we would have rejected the gift of "Libertas" from France. We were indoctrinated into a mindset that freedom comes first then Christ second to make us feel safe.
