Oh Dilbert?
You mentioned John Quincey Adams. hmmmm. ok, you lose again.
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS
“The highest glory of the American Revolution was this; it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.”
“From the day of the Declaration….they [the American people] were bound by the laws of God. Which they all, and by the laws of the Gospel, which they nearly all, acknowledge as rules of their conduct.” A quote out of a speech in 1838, “ Sir, I might go through the whole of the sacred history of the Jews to the advent of our Saviour……….
Even at 77 years old, JQAdams says this: “The bible carries with it the history of the creation, the fall and redemption of man, and it discloses to him, in the infant born at Bethlehem, the Legislator and Saviour of the world.
And in an article he writes this:
There are two prayers that I love to say--the first is the Lord’s Prayer, and because the Lord taught it; and the other is what seems to b a child’s prayer: “Now I lay me down to sleep,” and I love to say that because it suits me. I have been repeating it every night for many years past, and I say it yet, and I expect to say it my last night on earth if I am conscious. But I have added a few words more to the prayer so as to express my trust in Christ, and also to acknowledge what I ask, for I ask as a favor, and not because I deserve it. This is it:
“Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep; If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take; For Jesus’ sake. Amen.”
proof aplenty.
