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.

As a result Americans became truth seekers because the person of truth was in everything they thought did and established. Indeed, it was a glorious independence for those who were governed by it, but some hated the very thought of ordinary people being free to govern themselves and they set about to destroy it.

Those who hate the truth despise America and Americans. Traditionally Americans are viewed as Puritan Christians and are despised because of their Christianity. This is something we have lost in general and also in the natural organic whole foods community. Now is the time to know the truth. Jesus Christ is truth, and He will set us free, both as a nation and as the natural organic whole foods community in particular.

Let me know your thoughts, by commenting below, and tomorrow I will discuss more on those who are lying to us because they hate the Christian America we once were.

It is also a false premise to believe that having all your meals prepared with natural, organic, whole foods is the key to success in life. In order to be a success in the natural, organic, whole foods arena of life we must first be right with our creator. Healthy believing is required. We must be right with the God who made all that there is and the one who will demand an account of everyone He has made. If we are not right with Him, then we can not be right at all. To be a success we need to be right with our creator. If we are the best stewards of our health and we feed and protect our bodies the best we are able with natural, organic and whole foods then we are partly right we must search further.

The search for healthy believing is a journey that begins with a simple prayer, it goes something like this.

Lord God, creator of heaven and earth, I sense that I am wrong and not right with you. Show me your way and make me right with you. Amen.

Pray daily with honest sincere words. Now, watch and in time He will show you what to do. It will be interesting to see what God’s natural, organic, whole foods life will be like for you. True and lasting success awaits, but be ready for a real challenge. The best things in life, including healthy believing and eating natural, organic, whole foods, may be simple, but they are not always easy.

One of the bad old ideas that come along as America switched its religion from Christianity to Materialism (in general modernism and postmodernism) was the dumping of marriage and monogamy in favor of sexual exploitation of any and every partner that would consent. The “no commitment” arrangement was said to be better and preferred. The natural, organic, whole foods community has not escaped this curse.

Of course this begs the question as to whether the no commitments, consenting sexual relationships is better for us all? Is there a better more healthy way for mankind to survive than “Christian Marriage” traditionally known the way God made it as, male, female, life time, monogamous relationships. Or, is the natural, organic, whole foods way of living primary, we only need to concern ourselves with what we eat. Also we must ask if there is there a better way for a society in the training of children than a Christian family relationships.

I submit that history demonstrates that there is no primary standard for success than the Christian Standard. Christian stewardship is in many ways what the natural, organic, whole foods lifestyle requires because it keeps us healthy and fit. I would further submit that All of western society, the greatest, freest, most prosperous societies of history were all Christian and they became great because of their Christianity. If we contrast eastern mysticism societies, Hindu, Islam any other society none can compare in health, wealth, and freedom as Christian society. By contrast all societies who knew not Christianity or who have forsaken Christianity are destroyed. The natural, organic, whole foods society will be destroyed also if it also falls away from the christian truth and so will western society.
