Which American said "If we forget we are One Nation Under God, we will be one nation gone under"?

Question

An American President said this.
Our founding fathers were deeply spiritual Christians, who understood nations will come and go but God remains, and we need his protection and leading.
These principles are as important as the secular ideals of liberty and freedom, which are actually based on God's principles.
We have in many ways turned from God - how can we expect his blessings if we continue in serving ourselves and moving away from him?

Answer 1

Ronald Wilson Reagan.

Don't listen to Jesus Christ is Gay,

Here is the line from the treaty of tripoli.

Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

It does not mean that it was not founded by Christian men, it means that our constitution is not a religious constitution, therefore not a threat to Tripoli

Many of our founders were devout believers in Jesus Christ.
Even Thomas Jefferson who made his own bible with all the miracles taken out.
He still spoke of God and Jesus.

You should see his quotes at his memorial in Washington D.C.
Even the declaration of independance that he wrote talked about the providence of God.

Answer 2

"Our founding fathers were deeply spiritual Christians"
You're lying, and for some reason, knowingly so. Our founding fathers were NOT Christians... they believed in a God, rejecting the Christian one; they believed in an amoral and jumpstart sort of Creator... they were Deists. (People like Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, and Paine)

"These principles are as important as the secular ideals of liberty and freedom, which are actually based on God's principles."
Liberty and freedom are FAR from God's principles which are found in your Bible... the Bible does nothing but restrict and condemn certain behavior. Liberty and freedom are two things that religion has a huge problem with.

"One Nation Under God" wasn't introduced into the Pledge of Allegiance until around 1954 when Congress, under McCarthyism, inserted it. The original motto, E Pluribus Unum (which still appears on our currency and means "One Out of Many") celebrated plurality, not a theocracy.

Answer 3

I'm sorry but that statement is false. Many of the founding fathers were deists and believed some sort of God was important for morality, but most did not claim to be Christians, and many are considered to have been atheists.

Answer 4

I heard Newt Gengrich quote that last week, but not sure if it was his quote or if he was reciting someone else's. God has blessed this nation, but because this country is turning away from God and his moral law, God can certainly punish this nation when He wants and however He wishes to. Of course, when Christ returns, that'll be the end of this nation's arrogance in its desire to do away with the existence of God and His law from our country!

Here's some quotes from John Adams (1735-1826)

"Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other".

"Now to what higher object, to what greater character, can any mortal aspire than to be possessed of all this knowledge, well digested and ready at command, to assist the feeble and friendless, to discountenance the haught and lawless, to procure redress of wrongs, the advancement of right, to assert and maintain liberty and virtue, to discourage and abolish tyranny and vice?"
* Letter to Jonathan Sewall (October 1759)

"Let them revere nothing but religion, morality and liberty".

* Letter to Abigail Adams (April 15, 1776)

The right of a nation to kill a tyrant, in cases of necessity, can no more be doubted, than to hang a robber, or kill a flea.

* Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America (1787)

Answer 6

i do no longer say the pledge for 2 motives. the 1st one is by way of the "...under god..." section. As an atheist, i do no longer think of I could could provide an oath to something i don't have faith in, it would not make experience. the entire argument that the country replaced into based under god is complete nonsense, there is easy data. there's an instantaneous quote from George Washington stating that the country replaced into no longer based under god and there replaced into actual no objective of it. My 2nd reason is by way of the fact i think of the flag and the pledge are the two nationalistic techniques. saying the pledge to me is like saying you think of you're united states of america is greater suitable and that all people others are inferior. no one somewhat understand if that's going to get replaced or no longer. As for saying it, do in basic terms no longer. you do no longer legally could stand, yet while your instructor delivers a no longer uncomplicated time for no longer status in basic terms stand. no longer for the pledge, yet to show appreciate to your friends. in the experience that your instructor makes you're saying it, combat it. bypass to the important or however you may do. it somewhat is unlawful for them to make you're saying it.

Answer 7

One thing you can do is type this quote into a search engine and GET THE ANSWER YOURSELF!!

As for liberty being god's principles, do you mean liberty like this?

Lev 25:45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.
25:46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.

You must be watching Fox News and Gingrich's show?

Answer 9

The "Under God" in the Pledge, and the "In God we Trust" were added in the early 1950s.

It was a part of the "Red Scare" when everyone was looking under their beds for Communists. I imagine your quote was used back then.

Answer 10

Are you sure that our founding fathers were deeply spiritual Christians? They gave us freedom of religion.
