Hi to my Forum Friends,
In 1620, a group of people seeking religious freedom from the state mandated Church of England, risked crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a small ship, the Mayflower, to settle in the new country, America. We can read more about this venture at http://web.ccsd.k12.wy.us/tech...05/0101underpil.html Below is an excerpt:
They were English people who sought to escape the religious controversies and economic problems of their time by emigrating to America. Many of the Pilgrims were members of a Puritan sect know as Separatists. They believed that membership in the Church of England violated the biblical precepts for true Christians, and that they had to break away and form independent congregations which were truer to divine requirements. At a time when Church and State were one, such an act was treasonous and the Separatists had to flee their mother country. Other Pilgrims remained loyal to the national Church, but came (to America on the Mayflower) because of economic opportunity and a sympathy with Puritanism as well. They all shared a fervent and pervasive Protestant faith that touched all areas in their life.
After a voyage of two months leaving Plymouth, England in September 1620, because of bad weather, they were forced to land (November 1620) at what has become known as Plymouth Rock in Cape Cod Bay, far north of their intended landing at Virginia. Before going as****, they gathered and wrote a document by which they would govern themselves in this new land. That document is called the Mayflower Compact and reads, in modern English:
In the name of God, Amen. We, whose names are underwritten, the Loyal Subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, King, defender of the Faith, etc.:
Having undertaken, for the Glory of God, and advancements of the Christian faith, and the honor of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the Northern parts of Virginia; do by these presents, solemnly and mutually, in the presence of God, and one another; covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic; for our better ordering, and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions, and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the colony; unto which we promise all due submission and obedience.
In witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at Cape Cod the 11th of November, in the year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord King James, of England, France, and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth, 1620.
This venture toward an independent and free Christian life in America, an America governed and ruled by Biblically based faith and documents, which was begun in 1620 with the Mayflower Compact -- ran into a brick wall in 2008 when Barack Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, was sadly elected to the office of president of the United States.
Immediately, he began his determined effort to dismantle the Constitution and turn America into a anti-Christian Socialist nation. In the article below, you may read, in detailed steps, how he has been accomplishing this over the past three and one half years.

America’s Most Biblically-Hostile U. S. President
By David Barton - 02/29/2012

When one observes President Obama’s unwillingness to accommodate America’s four-century long religious conscience protection, through his attempts to require Catholics to go against their own doctrines and beliefs, one is tempted to say that he is anti-Catholic. But that characterization would not be correct. Although he has recently singled out Catholics, he has equally targeted traditional Protestant beliefs over the past four years.
So since he has attacked Catholics and Protestants, one is tempted to say that he is anti-Christian. But that, too, would be inaccurate. He has been equally disrespectful in his appalling treatment of religious Jews in general, and Israel in particular.
So perhaps the most accurate description of his antipathy toward Catholics, Protestants, religious Jews, and the Jewish nation -- would be to characterize him as anti-Biblical.
And, then, when his hostility toward Biblical people of faith -- is contrasted with his preferential treatment of Muslims and Muslim nations, it further strengthens the accuracy of the anti-Biblical descriptor. In fact, there have been numerous clearly documented times when his pro-Islam positions have been the cause of his anti-Biblical actions.
Listed below in chronological order are (1) numerous records of his attacks on Biblical persons or organizations; (2) examples of the hostility toward Biblical faith that have become evident in the past three years in the Obama-led military; (3) a listing of his open attacks on Biblical values; and finally (4) a listing of numerous incidents of his preferential deference for Islam’s activities and positions, including letting his Islamic advisors guide and influence his hostility toward people of Biblical faith.
1. Acts of hostility toward people of Biblical faith:
April 2008 – Obama speaks disrespectfully of Christians, saying they “cling to guns or religion” and have an “antipathy to people who aren't like them.” (1)
February 2009 – Obama announces plans to revoke conscience protection for health workers who refuse to participate in medical activities that go against their beliefs, and fully implements the plan in February 2011. (2)
April 2009 – When speaking at Georgetown University, Obama orders that a monogram symbolizing Jesus' name be covered when he is making his speech. (3)

OFFENSES AGAINST OUR CHRISTIAN FAITH.

Please notice, in the April 2008 comments, above, from Obama -- he refers to Christians as THEM. If he were truly a Christian, why would he refer to Christians as THEM?
My Friends, the election this November will be the most critical election in my lifetime, and most likely yours. If you are a person of Christian faith, please consider what he has done to destroy our Christian faith in this short three and one half years of this term. Then, think about what he will do in the next four years if reelected -- when he is not concerned about winning a reelection.
In an "open mic" goof at the Nuclear Summit 2012, he is heard speaking with outgoing Russian President Medvedev, sending a message regarding a missile defense agreement to the newly elected Russian President Putin, saying, "This is my last election. After my election, I will have more flexibility."
And, the Russian tells him, "I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir and I stand with you."
My question: WHO is standing with the American people?

But, my Friends, I have another question for you to consider. If Obama is given another four years, without election concerns to restrict his actions -- as he boldly stated in the accidentally overheard "open mic" conversation with Russian President Medvedev -- what will he do to totally remove God, the Bible, our Christian faith, and the Christian people whom he stated, "cling to guns and religion" -- from America?
If you are a registered American voter -- with sincere prayer please consider how you will vote in November. If you are not yet registered -- do you realize that by not voting, you are playing Russian Roulette with your, your family's, your children's, and your grandchildren's future.
REGISTER TODAY! AND, VOTE YOUR FAITH IN NOVEMBER!
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
