912 Christianity- Part 1

In this video I share a little bit about my trip to Washington DC and the 9 principles of the 912 Project. As a country that was built upon biblical principles with God at the center, the free market system, and small government I believe that we as a nation are standing at the edge of the cliff. When we are finally pushed we will not recognize America. President Obama said he was going to "fundamentally transform America" and that is exactly what he is doing. Our godless government is getting bigger and bigger while our say and wallets keep getting smaller and smaller.

May God not lift His hand from this nation and bring us back to liberty.

Bberchin, as someone who I respect (despite our differences), I find it curious that you have devoted so much time and effort to discussing politics on a channel that was originally dedicated to your faith. Do you really believe that Jesus himself would stoop down to our level of throwing mud in political matters? I think Jesus would have been so disgusted with our political bickering, and I find it hard to believe that a man so peaceful and wise would advocate for any political ideology.

@Juggernauticali I think it's very important for Christians to be involved in government and the affairs of their communities. Christ was not a-political and scripture has much to say on our duties in politics. I agree with you about the fighting- I believe in truth, all truth, and that it will prevail if it is continued to be proclaimed and taught.

@bberchin "Promote the general welfare." Its in there. And if you'd actually do some research into the subject independent of any news channel, its clear that universal healthcare does work and is more cost effective. As it stands now, we spend 17% percent of our GDP on health care, more than any other nation, and yet there are millions who are uninsured, millions more who don't have enough insurance.

"As the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded upon the Christian religion."

Treaty of Tripoli: 1797

It doesn't get much more clear than this that the US is NOT a Christian nation.

how can you have all those books and be christian? i don't get it. must be all bibles..

Our government certainly has its corrupt parts... the fact that corporations can spend more money than the entire government does on medicare and medicaid in order to "lobby for their own best interest"... aka, buy legislation to give them unfair advantages...

Seriously, what kind of government would agree to not negotiate for lower prescription costs? Oh wait, one that's working fro the greed of corporations.. that's which.

[puellanivis]

"regulate to prevent monopolies"?????

THAT'S NOT FREE MARKET ECONOMY!

Hey Brett, I think our discussion here is getting a little to big for the tiny comment boxes. I'm going to go ahead and shoot you a PM so we can continue there. You can even quote me in videos if this subject so motivates you.

Scare tactics? Have you read the constitution? Have you read our history? Have you studied about our system of government at all? Also, have you looked at the facts about other single-payer systems in other countries? They're terrible. You've been watching too much one-sided news my friend. If I don't know what socialism is then please enlighten me- make sure you do your best to make it not sound like what is happening in our country right now and our President's plans.

Speaking of ridiculous, a government contracted health insurance option certain neither is, nor is it a step toward socialism. It seems like you don't know what socialism is. Finally, Canada? That third world hell-hole? Oh wait, it isn't a third world hell-hole after all. How can that be? And no thank you, I enjoy being an American. Even a single-payer health system is no where near "un-American". The words you use seem to be mere scare tactics.
