Christian Nation?
January 26, 2017
Steadfast in our faith in the Almighty, we will advance toward a world where man’s freedom is secure.
To that end we will devote our strength, our resources, and our firmness of resolve. With God’s help, the future of mankind will be assured in a world of justice, harmony, and peace.
(Harry S. Truman, Inaugural Address, January 20, 1949.)
NO president of the United States has ever mentioned Jesus Christ in his inaugural address. That includes Donald Trump.
If you believe it is good enough for a president to include some generic reference to a Divine Creator in his address then this makes sense to you. But if you believe that Christ, being the True Redeemer of humanity, has rightful authority over all civil government — and can do as He wills with nations, then this state of affairs amounts to dangerous national apostasy.
At Christ or Chaos in 2010, Dr. Thomas A. Drolesky went through all of the inaugural addresses up to and including Obama and demonstrated how none of them were Christian statements.

You’ll often hear politicians saying something like “it is written” and then quote from the Old Testament. Of course I’ve got no problem with the Old Testament (or should I say the “Hebrew Scriptures”) but it you don’t hear the New Testament quoted this way, or at all. At least that’s my unscientific study.
