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)

"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports. - In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. - The mere Politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. - A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity [rightness, happiness]. Let it simply be asked where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths, which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure; reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.- ... ...Can it be, that Providence [reference to God from the Bible during Washington's time] has not connected the permanent felicity of a nation with its virtue?" [Note: Emphasis is Washington's.]
Quoted from: Photographic facsimile of George Washington's Farewell Address. From George Washington Papers at the Library of Congress 1741-1799 collection.

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.
