Along with most current public school and university curriculum, Biographer Barry Schwartz has stated that George Washington's "practice of Christianity was limited and superficial, because he was not himself a Christian. In the enlightened tradition of his day, he was a devout Deist".
DEISM, noun [Latin God.] The doctrine or creed of a deist; the belief or system of religious opinions of those who acknowledge the existence of one God, but deny revelation: or deism is the belief in natural religion only, or those truths, in doctrine and practice, which man is to discover by the light of reason, independent and exclusive of any revelation from God. Hence deism implies infidelity or a disbelief in the divine origin of the scriptures.
An honest study of history with an unbiased ear for the truth reveals a different reality. Here is a reflection on the colonial army's defeat of the British at Yorktown, in Washington's own words... "
"I take a particular pleasure in acknowledging that the interposing hand of Heaven, in the various instances of our extensive Preparation for this Operation [Yorktown], has been most conspicuous and remarkable." - Letter to Thomas McKean, President of Congress, November 15, 1781
"removes kings and sets up kings." - Daniel 2:21
Keep on seeking the truth my friends, to be free from the deception of this current age, to grow in your awareness of God's revelation and intervention in your world, and to be set apart and available to be used of God everyday.
