You've Been LIED TO About America's History With Christianity (ft. Tim Barton) | Live Free with Josh Howerton

Did the Founding Fathers actually want Christianity out of government, or is that the biggest historical lie ever told? Pastor Josh Howerton sits down with Tim Barton of WallBuilders to go straight to the original documents: the Aiken Bible endorsed by Congress, Jefferson's original draft of the Declaration of Independence arguing against slavery, the prayer proclamations of John Hancock, and the letter that gave us the phrase "separation of church and state." What you were taught in school and what the primary sources actually say are two very different things. This conversation doesn't just rewrite the narrative, it goes back to the original sources to recover what was always true. From the Marxist roots of revisionist history to the founding fathers' forgotten anti-slavery legacy, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about America's founding. In this episode, you'll learn: Why Congress endorsed and recommended the Bible to the inhabitants of the United States What Thomas Jefferson's original draft of the Declaration actually says about slavery, and why it was removed What "separation of church and state" really meant and where the phrase actually comes from Why the founding fathers quoted the Bible more than any other source in their writings How Marxist ideology deliberately rewrote American history, and why it matters for Christians today Stand firm.
