The American Spirit

What is wrong with American Christianity today?

In 1831 AD, Alexis De Tocqueville was sent to the United States to study the American prison system by the French government.  They wanted to know why it produced better results than any in Europe.

While he was in America, he also studied everything he could about American society and government, writing a tremendous volume of notes and reflections, which he took back to France.  After turning in his report on the American prison system, Tocqueville set out to turn his observations about American society into a book.

In 1835 AD, Tocqueville published his landmark two-volume book on America entitled, "Democracy In America".  Tocqueville was amazed that Democracy was working in America, when attempts at Democracy had only met disaster time after time over a period of seven hundred years in Europe.

Tocqueville throughout his book unraveled the mystery of the success of Democracy in America.

He began by stating the first thing he observed when he arrived in America was how Christianity was involved in every aspect of American life.  Overtime, he began to see how Christianity shaped the politics of America.  He observed that Christianity was the foremost political institution in America.  He noted that Christianity shaped every aspect of life in America more than any other country on Earth.  He stated that Christianity essentially ruled America.

In fact, Tocqueville said, that when he looked for an explanation for the greatness of America, that he could not find one in the bountiful fields and forests, the rich mines and global commerce, the public education system of America, or even the American government or Constitution.  He said, it was only after he went into the churches of America, and heard the fiery sermons demanding people live according to Biblical righteousness, that he finally understood the secret of America's greatness.

Tocqueville remarked on how essential belief in the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) and the Book of Truth (The Bible) was in America.  He gave an example of a man in New York, whose testimony was not allowed in court, because he said that he did not believe in the existence of God.  The judge, the press, and everyone who read the article in the paper, all universally acknowledged that such a foolish man was surely a madman, and his testimony was untrustworthy.

Tocqueville said, that this influence of Christianity in every aspect of life had began with the Puritans, and this influence of Christianity is what caused America to be good.  He therefore surmised that America was great because America was good, and that America would cease to be great if it ceased to be good.

In conclusion, Tocqueville determined that Democracy worked in America, because America was a Christian nation.  This agrees with the words of John Adams, architect of the Constitution, who said that Democracy was only fit for a religious and moral people (meaning Christians and Rabbinic Jews) and totally inadequate for the governance of any other.

In fact, the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) was the basis of American law from its founding until after the time that Tocqueville wrote his second edition of "Democracy in America" in 1840 AD.  Since Christianity was the underlying strength of American life, then it could safely be said that the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) was the American Spirit during those years.

Of course, this does not mean that every American did what was right all of the time, only that there was an agreement about the standard of right and wrong in America.  People frequently disagreed vehemently over what the Book of Truth said about various subjects like slavery and the rights of women, but they did not disagree that the Book of Truth was the source of truth.  While most were obviously confused on a lot of things, like who changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, there was still a deep concern over what the Book of Truth taught about every area of life.

Also, the term Christian had a somewhat inclusive meaning in America.  Since there was no official state religion in America, there was no official definition of Christian either.  The term Christian was often applied to anyone who accepted the writings of the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) as being true, including the False Church of Rome.  It was often applied to those who added other things to the Renewed Covenant like the Book of Mormon.

Even the term Christian was not quite accurate either, since Rabbinic Jews were generally viewed as acceptable, since they also worshiped the Father of Truth.  So sometimes, the judges, legislators, governors, and presidents would use the term "Judaeo-Christian values" to describe the common values that defined America as a Christian nation.

However, things began to change shortly after the Civil War, when America started being flooded with worst kind of immigrants - Europeans.

The problem was not that these people were from Europe, but that they continued to cling to European values, instead of adopting American values.  European values were the very reason that people like the Pilgrims left Europe in the first place.  They wanted to separate themselves from the worldview that most Europeans had.

These European immigrants had some insane idea that they could continue to think the same way they thought in Europe, and do things the same way they did them in Europe, but somehow end up with different results - because they crossed the Atlantic Ocean!

So, instead of adopting the Christian worldview that made America great, they started eroding the worldview of America to make it become more like that of Europe.  They did not do this in a single year, or even a single generation, but they did continue to slowly erode the foundation of America's greatness.  It is for this reason, that the United States eventually ended open immigration and started restricting immigration - especially from Europe!

However, the American government acted too slowly, and the damage was already spreading, especially in the chain of northern American cities that stretched from New York City to Minneapolis.   The American Spirit began to become something quite different as they moved America away from being a Christian nation through a subtle influence.

For the most part, they did not openly oppose Christianity, for they understood that Americans considered being a Christian (or at least a Rabbinic Jew) as a requirement for being considered an American.  So, instead they began working to redefine American Christianity.

Many of them started joining churches for social reasons, so they would be more accepted in American culture, and to make important business connections.  (However, a minority of them did join churches because they had a genuine change of heart.)  They also began working to gain positions of authority in the education system of America, especially the major universities.

Over time, the successful among these immigrants began gaining more and more influence inside of congregations, but especially inside the leadership of large denominations.  They began pushing for more and more formal education, particularly the requirement of a college degree, for people to become pastors of local congregations, and to hold positions of authority within the denomination.

They wanted the pastors and denominational leaders to go to seminary school in colleges that they had come to influence.  Most of these colleges, like Yale University, had been started as Christian universities.  They had replaced the Biblical studies in these colleges, which had been required of all students, with "classical" studies.  These required "classical" studies were basically literature from Greek and Roman idolatry that formed the European worldview.

The net effect was to change the worldview of the leadership of many denominations and congregations.  These leaders in turn began to change the worldview of their congregational and denominational members.

More importantly, this system excluded people like Charles Grandison Finney, who sparked the revival that Tocqueville witnessed, from preaching.  Charles Grandison Finney, and most of the revivalists of the Second Great Awakening, never went to college.  They simply started preaching, often after they were baptized in the Spirit of Truth and began producing the sound of power.  Even more astounding, is that many of them, like Finney, became the head of a college - despite not having a college degree!

By the time of World War I, in those northern cities where these European immigrants had settled, the definition of American Christianity had dramatically changed.  The Spirit of Truth was no longer the American Spirit in those cities.

Their influence spread as they migrated out of those cities to other large cities, particularly along the west coast of the United States.  The descendants of these immigrants by this time had come be very influential in the courts of the United States, including the Supreme Court.  By the time of World War II, The Greatest Fairy Tale Ever Told was being taught as scientific fact in American schools, despite the fact that it obviously contradicts the story told by the evidence.

Their descendants managed to get many of the mainline denominations to go along with this nonsense.  They painted the record in the Book of Truth - that everything was created for a specific purpose by an intelligent designer, the Father of Truth - as an allegory for their absurd assertion that everything just apoofed out of nothing for no particular reason with no cause.  This was their tool to further change the definition of American Christianity by getting American Christians to accept that parts of the Book of Truth, which were plainly written as literal accounts, were really just allegories.

This type of allegorical thinking also became prevalent in the courts, especially the Supreme Court.

For example, they took the establishment clause, which forbid the formation of an official state religion in the United States, to remove the Book of Truth from classrooms.  Their claim laid not in the Constitution, but in the Federalist Papers and other external sources.  In particular, the term "separation of church and state" became popular.  This was a misquote from Thomas Jefferson in a letter to the Dansbury Baptist Church, assuring their pastor that the United States would not have an official church like the Church of England.

The facts about those who wrote the Federalist Papers, including Jefferson, show that they plainly had no intentions of removing the teaching of the Book of Truth from classrooms.  One of the first acts of Congress under the constitution had been to have copies of the Book of Truth printed for use in classrooms.  Among the advocates was Thomas Jefferson, who said, "Studious perusal of the Sacred script would make for better husbands, better fathers, and better country men".

If there is any doubt about the views of Thomas Jefferson regarding these things, consider this quote from Jefferson on the Jefferson memorial, "The Christian religion is the best religion that has ever been given to man."

Also on the memorial is this quote, "God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever.".

The views of Thomas Jefferson have literally been written in stone to identify the Spirit of Truth as American Spirit at the founding of America.

There is so much evidence of the views of Jefferson from his own writings, that a book has literally been written about the difference between his views expressed in his own writings, and what people claim his views were, called "The Jefferson Lies".  Similar books could be written about other Founding Fathers, who supposedly were opposed in any shape, form, or fashion, to using the Book of Truth as the foundation of American education.

So, this revisionist allegorical view of literal historical facts, eventually led to the removal of starting each day with prayer from the public classroom.  So by the time of the Vietnam War, the original American Spirit had been replaced with a Spirit of Lies.

Since that time, this allegorical view of the Book of Truth has spread way beyond just the creation account.  It has been applied to anything and everything in the Book of Truth by many of the leaders of denominations and congregations in America.

Still, America continues to see itself as a Christian nation.  In fact, as late as 1987 AD, the Supreme Court ruled that the United States was a Christian nation.  Even today, the majority of Americans call themselves, "Christians".

However, American Christianity today is nothing like it was when Tocqueville visited.

Like a snake in the leaves, there are deceivers in the midst of the leadership of many American congregations and denominations.  American Christians cannot see the hidden danger that makes their own congregation the most dangerous place on Earth.

Some churches now perform same sex marriage ceremonies and have homosexual ministers, instead of warning people to not live like they are married in SodomSerial killers that perform abortions are now elders in some churches, instead of being called to repent from their sick and twisted actions.  Members of most churches change spouses as casually as they change their socks, with no regard to whose wife the woman is according to the Book of Truth.  They receive no warning from the pulpit of the damage that using the nuclear option will do to their children.

Many have no fear of judgement from the Father of Truth, since their leaders have assured them that the Chamber of Horrors is only allegorical.  They have no reason to live for the Man of Truth, since they are told that the Good News of the kingdom is also allegorical.  They have no reason to be Christian Zionists, since their leaders say that the writings of the Prophets are only allegorical.   They have have no reason to do their part to carry out the Great Commission, since even this commandment of the Man of Truth is supposedly allegorical.

So, a social Gospel has replaced the actual Gospel in many churches, because everything in the Book of Truth has become allegorical.

However, the existence and prosperity of the Impossible Country of Israel, continues to defy this allegorical view of the Book of Truth.

If the Father of Truth is the greatest Zionist, like the Book of Truth says when understood literally, then everything else that it says regarding sin and judgement, also has to be taken literally.  The global conspiracy for the Man of Truth to rule the Earth based on the Law of Truth from Jerusalem, also has to be taken literally.  For this reason, the leaders of many of these congregations and denominations have turned themselves over to the Spirit of Anti-Jewism.

So what is wrong with American Christianity today, is that American Christians no longer believe the truth written in the Book of Truth.  They have totally lost grasp of what a Christian is. The Doctrine of Truth has been replaced with the Doctrine of Lies.

Americans have been deceived by leaders in their congregations and denominations, who have been preaching another Gospel, that is different than the one in the Book of Truth.  They have only heard of another "Jesus", that does not resemble the Man of Truth.  Another spirit, that is not the Spirit of Truth, has become the American Spirit.

For this reason, those Americans who continue walking in truth, find themselves feeling like they are drowning in a lukewarm sea.  Yet, these Americans continue to fight these lies with heroic resolve.  They are not afraid to give the last full measure of devotion, because they know that they are literally better off dead.  They have not lost sight of all that really matters.

This puts the American Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) at odds with much of American Christianity, which celebrates everything the Book of Truth calls evil.  There is a continually growing sentiment against Biblical Christianity in America, especially on the college campuses where the leadership is dominated by the descendants of those European immigrants.  The Spirit of Antichrist is quickly becoming the American Spirit.

America has become just like the ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judah.

The capital of America has became a fountain of wickedness, because there has been a change in the American Spirit (Micah 1:5-7).  This change in the American Spirit has caused America to do more evil than many other countries (2 Chronicles 33:8-9).

America has had evil rulers, who have caused the innocent blood of unborn babies to be shed in abundance (2 Kings 21:16).  The Father of Truth will never overlook this (2 Kings 24:3-4).  The wound of America has become incurable due to the abundance of iniquity (Jeremiah 30:12-15).

Many American churches became places where practices that are contrary to the Book of Truth are tolerated and celebrated, when evil men ruled America (2 Kings 21:1-7).  American Christianity has often refused to do what the Book of Truth says is right, but instead has followed evil rulers in doing evil (2 Kings 21:8-11).  

Some of these evil rulers could humble themselves, repent completely, and change the laws to help return American Christianity back to its founding practices (2 Chronicles 33:12-17).   

A new good ruler could even arise, and American Christianity could return completely back to its founding practices, but it will not undo the great evil that has came from changing the American Spirit (2 Kings 23:24-26).

So American Christianity would certainly return to endorsing evil, as soon as other evil rulers would arise to lead America back into doing evil, because the Spirit of Truth is no longer the American Spirit (2 Kings 23:30-37).

This makes the death of America a certainty.  The Father of Truth brings about the rise and fall of empires to fulfill His purposes, and America is no different.  America has ceased to be good, so it will cease to be great.

Even when the Spirit of Truth was most clearly visible as the American Spirit, it was still only like a bright light shining through a dirty lampshade.  The American Spirit was never more than a dim glow of the Spirit of Truth.

So even though, the laws of America were based on the Law of Truth, there was never a complete and consistent application of the Law of Truth through out the land in an even manner.  Some states, some counties, some cities, applied the Law of Truth in their laws and courts more than others.  There was never a consistent agreement on exactly how the Law of Truth should be applied, because there was never a single source of authority on how the Law of Truth should be understood.

Even the best American ruler has never contained enough of the Spirit of Truth to lead America into doing everything that the Book of Truth says is right.  There has never been an American leader who has applied the Law of Truth perfectly to their own life, so there has never been an American leader who can apply the Law of Truth perfectly in ruling America.

America has been imperfect from its founding, because it was founded by imperfect men.  This flawed system of flawed laws created by flawed men will soon be replaced by a much better one.

There is something better coming!

The Spirit of Truth is not just going to dimly glow through America, but is going brightly shine throughout the whole Earth (Habakkuk 2:14).

The Man of Truth will return to rule the people of Israel in the land of Israel as their king (Luke 1:31-33).  He is returning with the Children of Truth to take over this Earth (Revelation 11:15-18)!  It will be the ultimate hostile takeover!

The Man of Truth has done what no President or other ruler of America has ever done. He alone has ever contained enough of the Spirit of Truth to lead the world into doing everything that the Book of Truth says is right (John 3:31-35).  He alone has ever applied the Law of Truth perfectly to his own life (Hebrews 4:14-15).

So, the Man of Truth is going to consistently apply laws based on the Law of Truth throughout the Earth in an even manner (Isaiah 2:3).  He is going to be that single source of authority on how the Law of Truth should be understood (Micah 4:1-3).

His kingdom will be perfect from its founding, because it will be founded by the only perfect man!

So, the Man of Truth will be able to do what no one else can do.  He is going to deliver what no American president could ever deliver!  He has a Middle East peace plan that works!  He has created the best healthcare plan ever!

So, even though American Christianity is messed up today, because the Spirit of Truth is no longer the American Spirit, Biblical Christianity has remained unchanged.

Biblical Christianity does not rely on leaders of any congregation or denomination.  It does not change when the rulers of America change.  It does not adapt to changes in American culture.

Biblical Christianity is unchanging, because the Book of Truth is unchanging (Psalm 119:160).   It is unchanging, because the Man of Truth is unchanging (Hebrews 13:8-9).  It is unchanging, because the Father of Truth is unchanging (James 1:17).

Biblical Christianity begins with people coming into the House of Truth.  People come into the House of Truth, when they make the Man of Truth the ultimate ruler of their life, because they believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth!
