Charlie Kirk Destroys the Myth That America Was Not Founded on Christian Principles With Historical Evidence

[00:00] I was articulated Yesterday by a couple

[00:03] of my friends that our country was not

[00:04] founded on Christian principles um so I

[00:07] I want to see how like an argument that

[00:09] you guys can give me to combat that

[00:12] because the Declaration only refers to

[00:14] God four times and the Constitution

[00:16] doesn't refer to God at all and it only

[00:18] articulates the structure of government

[00:20] is common law Christian in nature or is

[00:23] it not remember that we were a

[00:24] collection of states and colonies and

[00:27] you need to read the state constitutions

[00:28] before anything else n out of 13 of the

[00:30] original states required you to be a

[00:32] Bible believing Christian to serve in

[00:33] government at the time of the founding

[00:36] you could even in P actually 13 out of

[00:39] 13 required a declaration of Faith nine

[00:41] out of 13 required you to be a

[00:42] Protestant except Maryland which was

[00:44] Catholic which still required a

[00:45] declaration of faith in almost every

[00:48] single one of the original state

[00:49] constitutions Pennsylvania included they

[00:52] had I profess Lord in Jesus Christ as my

[00:54] Lord and Savior in the original state

[00:56] constitutions so you remember we're a

[00:58] collection of States before that

[01:01] secondly 55 out 56 of the original

[01:03] signers of the Declaration were Bible

[01:04] believing Church attending Christians

[01:06] you ask about common law so common law

[01:08] is inherited from Blackstone who was

[01:10] Christian a common law is an outgrowth

[01:12] of the scriptures so let's go to three

[01:13] principles of common law due process and

[01:16] jury of your peers wrapped into the

[01:17] ultimate biblical principle that you

[01:19] shall not favor Justice if you are rich

[01:21] or poor which is in Leviticus 19 right

[01:23] before most famous part of Leviticus 19

[01:26] which is that you should love your

[01:27] neighbor as yourself but before that is

[01:29] that in the administration of justice

[01:31] you shall not favor the rich or the poor

[01:33] which is the idea of Blind Justice we

[01:34] get that in the west which is

[01:36] incorporated also in the New Testament

[01:37] ideal neither slave nor Greek nor Jew

[01:39] you're all one in Jesus Christ which you

[01:40] got the idea of human equality these are

[01:42] all biblical ideas they're not

[01:43] Enlightenment ideas which is they kind

[01:45] of get conflated at the time but more

[01:47] importantly than that they say that God

[01:48] was only mentioned four times in the

[01:50] Declaration of Independence well that's

[01:52] a big deal okay laws of nature and

[01:54] Nature's God the last paragraph of the

[01:55] Declaration reads as a prayer it says we

[01:58] appeal to the Supreme judge of the

[02:00] universe who's the judge of the universe

[02:02] Jesus Christ as it says in Revelation

[02:04] that Jesus Will judge the Earth on his

[02:06] throne this so in the Declaration they

[02:09] were praying to Christ Our Lord as a

[02:11] prayer very specifically thirdly as I

[02:14] set on stage yesterday Deuteronomy was

[02:16] by far the most quoted book religious or

[02:18] non-religious in the time of the

[02:20] founding when they were putting together

[02:21] Constitution more than John Lock more

[02:23] than monu more than Blackstone so the

[02:26] book of Deuteronomy which talked about

[02:28] laws Customs Traditions it was Moses

[02:30] farewell address as he's you know about

[02:32] to say goodbye say hey good luck in

[02:33] Canaan guys here's how you should set up

[02:35] your form of government but finally and

[02:38] most importantly let's look at actually

[02:39] what the founders said John Adams

[02:42] seemlessly said the Constitution was

[02:43] only written for a moral and religious

[02:45] people it was holy inadequate for the

[02:46] people of any other the body politic of

[02:48] America was so Christian and was so

[02:50] Protestant that our form and structure

[02:52] of government was built for the people

[02:54] that believed in Christ Our Lord one of

[02:56] the reasons we're living through a

[02:57] constitutional crisis is that we no

[02:59] longer have have a Christian Nation but

[03:01] we have a Christian form of government

[03:02] and they're incompatible so you cannot

[03:04] have Liberty if you do not have a

[03:05] Christian population so that that's just

[03:10] that's just a surface level belief so

[03:12] then they'll go to the First Amendment

[03:13] which is has two two parts of the First

[03:15] Amendment which get conflated first of

[03:17] all separation church and state is not

[03:18] in the US Constitution that is a single

[03:20] letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote in

[03:22] 1807 to the danur Baptist convention in

[03:24] Massachusetts assuring them that the

[03:26] government would not come after the

[03:27] church okay which is the opposite of

[03:29] what they would say however that was

[03:30] then resurrected by the Warren court and

[03:32] the burger Court in the 60s where they

[03:34] said hey you know all of a sudden we're

[03:35] now going to make this as if it's the

[03:36] Constitution it does say in the

[03:38] Constitution two things which is The

[03:39] Establishment Clause and the free free

[03:41] expression Clause The Establishment

[03:42] Clause is that Congress shall make no

[03:44] law prohibiting the free exercise

[03:46] thereof what they were most worried

[03:48] about was a presbyterian or a Anglican

[03:52] or a Quaker type religion taking over

[03:54] the federal government instead it was

[03:56] that there is not going to be a

[03:57] state-run religion or a state-run

[03:59] government government did you know that

[04:00] one of the first acts of Congress was

[04:03] taxpayer funded Bible Printing and

[04:06] distribution did you know that there

[04:08] were church services held in the Supreme

[04:09] Court building as late as the Jackson

[04:12] presidency in the 1820s but going back

[04:14] to this idea of separation church and

[04:16] state and again I could Riff on this at

[04:18] at nauseum because it's just so

[04:19] ridiculous right is that it's not

[04:22] biblical because first it's not biblical

[04:25] it's not constitutional because you go a

[04:27] layer deeper people that even say that

[04:29] do you believe in separation of Morality

[04:30] In State nobody does so all laws are

[04:33] reflection of morality and all morality

[04:34] comes from somewhere there is no such

[04:36] thing as neutral morality and we believe

[04:38] what the founders believed because they

[04:39] put it in the halls of Congress they put

[04:41] it in the Supreme Court and they put it

[04:42] all throughout the country which is that

[04:43] the decalogue The Ten Commandments is

[04:45] the core morality of how a society and a

[04:47] civilization should exist right the the

[04:49] Ten Commandments of every person and

[04:51] finally and this is the kicker if the

[04:53] founding fathers were not Bible

[04:54] believing church church Christians why

[04:57] did they put Leviticus on the Liberty

[04:59] Bell not John not Psalms not Proverbs

[05:02] not Genesis Leviticus most Americans

[05:04] can't spell Leviticus Leviticus 2519

[05:07] Proclaim Liberty throughout the land of

[05:09] which you are in it is one of the most

[05:11] Sinister most unsubstantiated lies that

[05:13] does not come up against any sort of

[05:15] academic scrutiny this idea that

[05:16] founding fathers were a bunch of

[05:17] Enlightenment common law deists the

[05:20] reason they hate it is because if they

[05:22] the reason they must say this is that if

[05:24] we actually go back to our Christian

[05:26] Roots and we go back to where we once

[05:28] were it's American best hope for Revival

[05:31] and for a great future
