If you will look at the pages of human history, no nation has ever been totally free until the formation of the United States of America!
Prior to this time, people were always held captive: slaves of nations, slaves of religion, slaves of empires.
Keeping people slaves also meant keeping people poor.
For thousands of years, education was reserved for ruling families, for the aristocracy, for the rich and famous, and for the dictators of religious-political regimes.
Reading was also prohibited because the masters knew that if the people could read, they would gain knowledge, and, with knowledge, they would become free thinkers and think for themselves; and, by gaining knowledge, people would learn the truth. Those who learned truth would tell others.
The religions of man prey on uneducated minds. Keep people seregated and within their own religious groups. Do not let them socialze with people of another religion. Do not let them socialize or attend Protestant churches. Do not let them read the Holy Bible. To keep them in slavery, restrict their knowledge, their education. Do not let them become free thinkers. Keep them living in fear.
When the nation of the United States was created, people fled to the United States in search of freedom. Freedom from state religions, freedom from governments, and the freedom to worship as they pleased.
In the United States, people gained much more than freedom from state religions, freedom from oppressive governments, and the freedom to worship: people were free to learn to read, to seek education, free to think, and free to speak. They were free to be creative, free to be inventive, and, for the first time in human history, an explosion of man's creative energy was released! People invented trains, automobiles, airplanes, harnessed electricity, wrote books, music, and songs, and invented light bulbs, and ways of recording music, opened schools, colleges, and universities. In so doing, man's inventions opened industries and created jobs, thus enabling masses of people to work and earn wages: to buy homes, cars, new clothes, and to be able to get medical treatment for themselves and for their children. The health of people improved in the United States as well as the possibility of living longer lives. People could sleep at night without the fear of making bricks the next day, nor the fear of serving ruthless taskmasters.
The United States gave poor people the opportunity for education, but also the opportunity to become rich!
With freedom in the United States, people were free to speak about Almighty God, free to read the Bible, and free to teach and learn about Christ---without fearing repercussions and persecutions from religion, nor from the U.S. government.
Freedom is like a new birth, or like being born again.
Freedom is like getting out of jail and with a chance to begin a new life.
Knowing Christ is a spiritual new birth, or like being born again.
Knowing Christ is like getting out of jail and with a chance to start over.
Knowing Christ is about believing that we are created by God, that we are the children of God, and not the children of the devil.
Knowing Christ is about freedom. We are free to worship Almighty God---without limitations, without conditions or restrictions---and even without a building!
