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)

"In contemplating the political institutions of the United States, I lament, that we waste so much time and money in punishing crimes, and take so little pains to prevent them. We profess to be republicans, and yet we neglect the only means of establishing and perpetuating our republican forms of government, that is, the universal education of our youth in the principles of [C]hristianity, by means of the [B]ible; for this divine book, above all others, favours that equality among mankind, that respect for just laws, and all those sober and frugal virtues, which constitute the soul of republicanism."
- Benjamin Rush: Educator; Signer of the Declaration of Independence, Surgeon-General of the Continental Army, co-founder of Dickinson College, influential delegate to Pennsylvania state convention for the ratification of the U. S. Federal Constitution, co-author of the Pennsylvania Constitution, Treasurer of the U.S. Mint, Founder and Vice-President of the Philadelphia Bible Society, Founder and President of the Pennsylvania Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery, member of the Abolition Society.
Quoted From: Rush, Benjamin, Essays Literary, Moral, Philosophical: A Defence Of The Use Of The Bible As A School Book (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Thomas and William Bradford, 1806), 112-113.

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.
