Default America: a country founded by Bible Critics

The Founding Fathers

Compare and contrast:

1 Samuel, 15:23 "For rebellion as is the sin of witchcraft."

1 Peter 2:13: "For the Lord's sake accept the authority of every human institution, whether of the emperor as supreme, or of governors, as sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right."

Romans 13:1: "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities; for there is no authority except from God, and those authorities that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resist authority resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment."

with the Declaration of Independence:

"...when a long train of abuses and usurpations... evinces a design to reduce (the people) under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security..."

VERY, VERY, VERY GOOD, TOTO!.........

This is the REAL reason that led to the invention of Catholicism, "stealing" to the Gnostics "gesuani" (faithful of Jesus) their Jesus of Nazareth: in the same way that the same counterfeiters founders stole to the Jews their Bible!

All the best!

...and the latency time for such actions seems to be eight years...?
