Quotes and Realities
- Jesus - The Only Way
-
“Moses said to God, 'Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, “The God of your fathers has sent me to you,” and they ask me, “What is his name?” Then what shall I tell them?' God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: “I AM has sent me to you.”' God also said to Moses, 'Say to the Israelites, “The LORD, the God of your fathers – the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob – has sent me to you.”'... [Jesus said] 'Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.' 'You are not yet fifty years old,' the Jews said to him,'and you have seen Abraham!' 'I tell you the truth,' Jesus answered, 'before Abraham was born, I am!'... Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well.... If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.”
- Exodus 3:13-15, John 8:56-58, John 14:6-7a, 23 (NIV)
- Patrick Henry
-
"[T]he rising greatness of our country... is greatly tarnished by the general prevalence of deism which, with me, is but another name for vice and depravity.... I hear it is said by the deists that I am one of their number; and indeed that some good people think I am no Christian. This thought gives me much more pain than the appellation of Tory [being called a traitor], because I think religion of infinitely higher importance than politics.... [B]eing a Christian... is a character which I prize far above all this world has or can boast."
- Patrick Henry: Attorney; member of House of Burgesses, member of Continental Congress, member of State Assembly where he gave his famous “Give me liberty, or give me death” speech; Governor of Virginia, member of State convention that ratified the U.S. Constitution.
Quoted from: Barton, David, Original Intent: The Courts, the Constitution, and Religion (Aledo, TX: Wallbuilder Press, 2010), 151: originally quoted from Arnold, S.G., The Life of Patrick Henry of Virginia (Auburn: Miller, Orton and Mulligan, 1854), 249-250.

Have you ever read the Constitution and wondered “what were the Founders intentions behind this or that phrase?” The US Constitution in the Resources section contains online references to the Federalist Papers – an early work by three founding fathers on the intention of each section of the US Constitution. But, if you are looking for something more lively, you could turn to the records of the continental congress link in the Resources section, under Congressional Records, or Elliot's or Farrand's records of the debates, or read about the intentions in the more personalized correspondence, writings and letters of the founders.
