by Samuel Francis Smith
"Behold, this [America] is a choice land, and whatsoever nation shall
posses it shall be free from bondage, and from captivity, and from all other nations
under heaven, if they well but serve the God of the land, who is Jesus Christ,
who hath been manifested by the things which we
have written." ~ Book of Mormon | Ether 2:12
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and
seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their
sin, and will heal their land." ~ Old Testament | 2 Chronicles 7:14
"Wherefore, I will consecrate this land unto thy seed, and them who shall be numbered
among thy seed, forever, for the land of their inheritance; for it is a choice land, saith God unto
me, above all other lands, wherefore I will have all men that dwell thereon that they shall worship
me, saith God." ~ Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 10:19
"And behold, the Lord hath reserved their blessings, which they might have received
in the land, for the Gentiles who shall possess the land." ~ Book of Mormon | Mormon
5:19

Concerning the Consitution of the United States of America
Jesus Christ Himself Has Stated the Following Concerning Its Very Conception
and Origin
"According to the laws and constitution of the people [of the United
States of America], which I [Jesus Christ] have suffered to be established, and should be maintained
for the rights and protection of all flesh, according to just and holy principles;
"That every man may act in doctrine and principle pertaining to futurity, according to
the moral agency which I have given unto him, that every man may be accountable for his
own sins in the day of judgment.
"Therefore, it is not right that any man should be in bondage one to another.
"And for this purpose have I [Jesus Christ] established the Constitution of this land,
by the hands of wise men whom I raised up unto this very purpose, and redeemed the land
by the shedding of blood."
~ Doctrine and Covenants | Section 101:77-80 ~

America Is Truly Founded Upon God - State by State
THE people and the Founding Fathers of
America who established this nation were dedicated Christians, believing in God and the
societal values based upon the Biblical Commandments and tenents of morality that were
a part of that religion. The Constituion of America as sanctioned by Jesus Christ
established this nation as a free people. And though the foundational religious beliefs
were in Jesus Christ, the principles of liberty, freedom and the agency of man to chose
were given before the foundation of the world in the premortal heavens above. Thus,
though Christianity is the foundational religion, it is given to all men to chosen
according to the freedom of religion as a part of the human rights of this nation.
Yet many have chosen not to reverence God as the God of Love and Peace, and further
they have taken upon themselves to deny God entirely. They have turned their backs upon
that very moral code, the Ten Commandments, of the Almighty. And as they have done so,
to deny the Lord Almighty, according to his promises and his established Constitution
concerning this land, they will begin to not only forego His blessings upon this land
and its people, but He will begin to turn out His wrath upon such as reject these
principles. For he is a God of righteousness and will not tolerate the sins and
corruptions of the natural man who is an enemy unto God and his righteousness when they
even take to denying unto man his God given right of agency and responsiblity of
liberty and the freedoms thereof (LIFE, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness, the
Freedom of Speech, the Right to Peacefully Assemble, Freedom of Religion, and
so forth and so on)!
Yet all of America's greatness has come at the hand of our God's blessing. The nation that we have
come to be is founded upon those guiding principles of the Almighty God. And he has preserved this
nation unto his own perposes and design for it. He will continue to bless America is but if the
people of America will repent of their sins and wickedness. But his is a two edged sword. And it
men continue to corrupt God's ways and ripen in their wickedness, they will come to receive of the
wrath of God coming upon them. The message is clear, turn and to God and live! Or, dwindle in
unbelief and wickedness and die, not only to a physical death but unto an everlasting death from
the presences of God forever.
The States of the United States of America
As the states of the United States have come into existance from the 13 founding colonies, they
have overwhelmingly stated their foundational beleifs in God in their establishing documents.
From Virginia to Hawaii, from 1776 to 1959, the words of the states documents have echoed their
belief in and their dedication to follow the Almighty God of this nation. Some have attempted to
undo and undermined that foundational belief, but as they do, they are only bring God's
condemnation upon them. And they will not be long tolerated by Him in their so doing. And his
wrath will come upon them in the own due time of the Lord.
