As we have discussed, the answer to the lies that people love to believe is truth, and truth is found in the person of Jesus Christ. America was once built on this truth and as such was considered a “Christian Nation” and as such America was “Great”. This has changed and America has abandoned being “Great” and instead is merely “Powerful”. This all began with those that have been telling us the lies we love to believe.
Oligarchies and Monarchies have hated the American republic from the beginning because if America, her people and her form of government survived then they would be out of a job. Many forces joined together to destroy America but, without success. In her early days America succeeded, and because of her success almost all the countries of the world have made some type of effort to model their form of government after our American form of government. Most of these Americanized models fail because their people are not Christian. So, if America is to be destroyed the she must be de-Christianized. The destruction of America advocates had only to press for and wait until an internal de-christianization of America began to take effect.
Today America is not a great nation. She is powerful, but she is not a great nation. Probably the number one and largest contributing factors to America’s de-christianization and it subsequent down fall was the government school movement led by Horace Mann (1796-1859) in the first half of the 19 century. Mann hated Christianity and wanted the church to stop educating and was successful in convinced his American audience to do just that. Education Mann argued, could best be accomplished by the state and not the church. Prior to Mann almost everyone in America was well educated and all education was non mandatory and was church business.
I will discuss more on Mann and some of the very expensive costs of his system in my next bog entry.
