Quotes and Realities
- Jesus - God the One and Only - Gives Eternal Life
-
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.... He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.... to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.... The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.... From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known."
- John 1:1-5,10,12,14,16-18 (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.
