Is America really a Christian nation—and were the United States and its government truly founded on Christian or Judeo-Christian values? In this controversial discussion, Sam Shamoun examines America’s laws, religious foundations, Founding Fathers, and growing rejection of biblical Christianity. Sam Shamoun explains why a country influenced by Christianity is not necessarily a nation submitted to the lordship of Jesus Christ.
Sam Shamoun discusses Thomas Jefferson, deism, theism, Providence, the Jefferson Bible, the virgin birth, the miracles and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the meaning of “In God We Trust.” Sam Shamoun also explains why merely using the word “God” does not prove that someone believes in the God revealed in the Bible. The conversation then explores the meaning of Judeo-Christian values, the Hebrew Bible, the Old Covenant, the New Covenant, Jeremiah 31, Luke 22, Hebrews 8, religious freedom, and the separation of church and state.
The discussion also examines the difference between deists, theists, Trinitarians, and non-Trinitarians. Sam Shamoun explains why Jehovah’s Witnesses are theists even though they reject the Trinity, and why belief in the Triune God is inseparable from God’s supernatural intervention in creation through the incarnation, virgin birth, miracles, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Finally, Sam Shamoun addresses America’s increasing hostility toward Christianity, censorship of Christian references, Bible verses, spiritual warfare, Satan’s influence over worldly kingdoms, demonic powers behind governments, abortion, sexual morality, and the rejection of biblical principles. Sam Shamoun then explains why Christianity is often judged more harshly than Islam in the West—and warns that those who reject the “shackles” of Christianity may eventually beg for Christianity to return when they discover what is replacing it.
