Kirk Cameron: Listen to America's Founders

Actor and producer Kirk Cameron said America can get out of the "mess" by returning to the "original factory settings," which involves listening to the Founding Fathers who relied on wisdom that comes from faith in God and His Word.

Speaking at the 2012 Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., on Friday, the evangelical Christian said he was concerned about the future of the nation as he is a father of six children.

The 42-year-old actor, who played the character Mike Seaver on TV series "Growing Pains" in the 1980s, said he never understood the importance of voting, but "I now understand as a dad that someone will be steering the ship." He said he is particularly concerned about the November election due to the nation's gigantic debt, crumbling values, unwanted pregnancies, teenage suicides, breaking families, drugs, alcoholism, and so on.

Cameron added that he finds most people merely playing the blame game, while there's a need for a clear voice to help the nation get out of the mess. "Perhaps we have forgotten what made us such a great nation in the first place."

Kirk is a great Christian. I watched the "Left Behind" series of movies over the weekend, which he stars in. Highly recommend. Will be watching Monumental as well…

  If you know anything about your bible from actual study and reflecting in harmony you will see that the series you mentioned is a lie. Go study all of Yahweahs laws statutes and judgments. Read the scriptures in harmony without pitting scripture against itself.
  
  Proverbs 25:
  2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
  
  Love truth and apply your whole heart:
  
  Ecclesiastes 7:
  25 I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:
  I John 3:
  18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
  Proverbs 12:
  1 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
  Proverbs 15:
  9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto Yahweah: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
  II Thessalonians 2:
  10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
  John 17:
  17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
  II Timothy 3:
  16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
  Acts 2:
  29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
  Revelation of John 20:
  6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
  II Timothy 2:
  18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
  Acts 24:
  15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
  Ecclesiastes 9:
  5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
  II Peter 3:
  4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
  I Thessalonians 4:
  15 For this we say unto you by the word of Supreme God, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of Supreme God shall not prevent them which are asleep.

Thank you Mr. Cameron for your common sense stance to this issue. The world expects us to demonstrate "extreme tolerance" to the worlds issues, yet the world it seems, can carry on in the most deplorable behavior known to mankind. It is at times like this that we need to remind ourselves first of all where we came from, and secondly, to stand by our Constitution.
- Chris
  
  Yet God didn't whisper in his ear and say "Dumbass, bananas were bred by humans"
  
  and his "crocoduck" exists as Anatosuchus ("duck crocodile") – he's so ignorant of science it is painful.

    Chris continues to project on others, hoping his own doubts fade.

Kirk Cameron: "If only I could go back in time" and talk to the Founding
Fathers about how to lead the nation toward "the place of blessing,"

I think I can tell you what America's TRUE 17th-century Christian
Founding Fathers would say. First, they would be appalled that by the
late 18th-century, Christianity had become so compromised as to ratify
the humanistic (per the Preamble), antichristian (per Article 6), and
polytheistic promoting (per Amendment 1) Constitution. They would then
send us back to our God, King, Judge, and Savior and His morality as
codified in His perfect law and altogether righteous judgments (Psalm
19:7-9) as the only answer to save America from the precipice upon which
she teeters.

Find out how much you really know about the Constitution as compared to
Yahweh's moral law (His commandments, statutes, and judgments). Take our

  Hey Ted I see your still trying to twist History, Are you still promoting your Book also?
  Ted if you only knew that Kirk spent ton of time and money to get the FACT unlike yourself just use a opinion. So Ted a piece of advice watch the movie and research his findings!
  I did and you be enlighten!!
  - http://www.missiontoisrael.org/ Ted R. Weiland
    
    Dave, just what part of history have I twisted? Please quote from what I've written, not something you presume that I believe. If you're going to challenge my statements above, you will need to first read the three chapters I've linked to in order to first know whether or not I've proven my case or not and then quote from what I've written and then prove your case. Otherwise, you'll be guilty of Proverbs 18:13, and only prove yourself a fool.

LEFT BEHIND…THE MOVIES- WILL BECOME A TRUE STORY..AND THAT, AS A FACT, IS-ALREADY SCARY, TO THOSE WHO DO NOT- WANT TO BE LEFT BEHIND-WITHOUT -GOD, FOREVERMORE<.
TIME IS SHORT.
ALL PEOPLE MUST MAKE THIER CHOICE..VOTE- FOR THOSE WHO FOLLOW GOD-
OR – VOTE FOR THE OTHERS THAT MANY ARE FLOCKING TO.
YOU HAVE ONE CHANCE TO VOTE, AND GOD IS WATCHING.
ALL TRUE CHURCHES WILL DIRECT THIER FLOCKS, AS GOOD SHEPHERDS- WOULD.
WE WILL SEE,CLEARLY- WHO THE TRUE CHURCHES- ARE, BY HOW THEY- VOTE.
THERE IS NO LUKE WARM WITH GOD- IT IS WITH HIM- OR- WITH THE OTHER.
THE CHOICE IS FOR EACH OF US TO MAKE.
LEFT BEHIND- CAN HAPPEN THE SECOND THAT YOU VOTE, AS GOD SPEAKS OF: " IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE".
ALL OF A SUDDEN- WE, THEN, UNDERSTAND, THAT WE-ARE- LEFT BEHIND- WITHOUT GOD- BECAUSE WE, CHOSE- NOT! TO FOLLOW GOD.
ALL TRUE FOLLOWERS OF GOD- KNOW- THAT THE FINAL CHAPTER IS IN FULL MODE, THEREFORE- THERE IS NO TIME FOR A- MISTAKE<…ONCE YOU ARE LEFT BEHIND- YOU, ARE.

  the book of Revelation is all about tearing down the old covenant and its symbol the Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem and building the Church of Jesus Christ and redeeming all creation. the main theme of Revelation is "behold, I make all things new". we are currently living in the millennium with Jesus Christ reigning on his throne in Heaven the same throne that King David was promised that one of his heirs would sit on his throne forever. you cannot interpret Revelation without first reading and studying the themes from the other 65 book of the Bible.
  - mallen11
    
    Wesley, you are way out of line regarding Revelation. The Church is not Israel. God does not go back on His promises and He is not finished with His chosen people; the Jews. There is not way we are in the Millennium; Jesus Christ is not on His Throne on earth and Satan is not incarcerated, everyone is not well fed, the lamb doesn't lie down with the lion, etc.
    
    Rev 20:3-4 and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him,
    so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years
    were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time. Then I
    saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
    
    Zech 14:9 And the LORD will be king over all the earth; in that day the LORD
    will be the only one and His name the only one. (Jesus Christ is King of kings and Lord of lords.)
    
    Some scriptures that tell what life will be like during the Millennium: Isaiah 11,
    35, 62, 65, Psalm 72, Zech 14:4-9, and more in Revelation 20
    - Wesley
      
      take and read this following link for it takes the seven main dispy arguments and uses New Testament scripture to show their fulfillment. http://www.withgodonourside.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/7answers.pdf
      
      not once their in Revelation 20 does it say Christ rules from Jerusalem for he is already reigning in heaven.
      - mallen11
        
        Wesley, I have been taught and have learned both sides and I know Dispensationalism is the true Biblical way. He is not reigning in heaven, He is seated at the right hand of the Father until the Rapture and then 7 years later He will return, defeat those who go against Israel, defeat Satan and rule on the earthly throne of David from Jerusalem for 1000 years. There are Dispensationalist that twist things in the scripture just a you do.
        
        At
        the Rapture we meet the Lord in the air and at His 2nd Advent He
        will touch down at the Mt. of Olives.
        
        I
        Corinthians 15:51-53 Behold, I tell
        you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
        
        in
        a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will
        sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put on the
        imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
        
        I
        Thess 4:16-17 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a
        shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the
        dead in Christ will rise first.
        
        Then
        we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds
        to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.
        
        The 2nd
        Coming or Advent is when Jesus’ feet will touch down to the Mt. of Olives
        and sets up His Kingdom after defeating Satan at the end of the Tribulation.
        
        Zechariah 14:3-4 Then the LORD will go forth and
        fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle. 4
        In that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of
        Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from
        east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move
        toward the north and the other half toward the south.
        
        (Jesus
        Christ will then reign on the earth for 1000 years on the Throne of David and
        restoring Israel to their promised land. This info barely scratches the surface
        of so much more information in the Word of God.)

  Left Behind IS left behind–way out in left field. That film is the product of the fertile imaginations of a couple of disordered Darbyite-Scofieldians, who have woven a collection of unrelated scriptures into a chaotic tapestry of bogus eschatological theology. It is premillennialist pap, and lacks serious literary merit as well. But never mind; it, along with its seemingly never-ending string of sequels, has earned its authors millions of dollars and the adoration of the deluded triburapturist community.

Listen to this Founding Father:

The Basic Differences Between Parties

"Men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties:

1. Those who fear and distrust the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes.

2. Those who identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe, although not the most wise depositary of the public interests.

In every country these two parties exist, and in every one where they are free to think, speak, and write, they will declare themselves. Call them, therefore,Liberals and Serviles, Jacobins and Ultras, Whigs and Tories, Republicans and Federalists, Aristocrats and Democrats, or by whatever name you please, they are the same parties still and pursue the same object. The last one of Aristocrats
and Democrats is the true one expressing the essence of all."

— Thomas Jefferson to Henry Lee, 1824. Memorial Edition 16:73
John E.

The Founding Father's were brilliant men, I will grant them that. But, at the core, they were humanistis, or else severely compromised Christians who did not acknowledge that "the Government is upon His(Jesus Christ's) shoulders"(See Isaiah 9:6). In other words, they failed to see what the Puritans who first came to America understood much more clearly: that God Almighty is sovereign over all things, and that He expects His people to live by His Laws contained in the Holy Scriptures. Not only did the Founders not acknowledge God or His Christ(Jesus) in the Constitution, but they constructed a political system based upon laws that run contrary to the commandments of God. The Constitution has done nothing to stop or retard the moral collapse of America; it has in fact aided it by allowing non-Christian men to be, not only citizens, but judges and rulers over the people. Sure, let's listen to America's Founders–and learn from their mistakes. Let us not thumb our nose at God as they did, but let us turn back to Christ the King with our whole heart, and obey Him in all things.

  Our country was never set up as a Theocracy but as a Republic. Apart from the best form of government; Theocracy, a Republic is the next best. The foundation of the Jewish Nation began through regeneration and eventually became naturalized (must have the lines of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – The Patriarchs). Since the Jews were a spiritual Nation founded on regeneration it was necessary to have something comparable known as “The Church” after Christ’s death, burial and resurrection. A spiritual nation made up of ALL believers in the world; The Church Age. Our country was not founded on regeneration but a secular society where we are free to worship God as individuals. God does not deal with us as a nation compared to the way He dealt with Israel during the Age of Israel. The Mosaic Law was given to the Nation of Israel and no other nation. I believe that God works with each “age or era” differently and since we are in the Church Age there is not a nation that is a Theocracy ruled by God. God works with individual believers in this Age to bring each of us to spiritual maturity and the more spiritual mature believers there are in this country the more our country will be blessed by God.
  Titus 3:1-2 Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed, to malign no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing every consideration for all men.

    you do know that everywhere in the Old Testament that you find assembly in the Septuagint you find ekklesia. ekklesia simply means assembly. in fact William Tyndale translated it as assembly in his New Testament, which actually got him in trouble for the "church" did not like to have ekklesia translated in the New Testament into anything but church.
  - Jeff Dixon
    
    Theocracies are hardly the best form of government. They are brutal and based on ignorance. If you like it so much, there are many current countries based on a theocracy which you could move to and live in great joy in.

  Welcome to the fantasy world of that arch-theonomist, Ted Weiland. From your radical post, one can logically assume that your preference would be to deny citizenship to non-Christians.
  I got news for you, John E.—ain't gonna happen.
  
  You can continue to ally your sympathies with the Puritans who, relying upon their tortured concepts of the laws of God, gave us the Salem witch trials. I'll stick with the Constitution.
- Wesley
  
  you might want to read about how the Puritans would not let non-Puritans into their colony. William Bradford and the Pilgrims had really nothing to do with the Puritans for all they wanted was to live and worship God in their own way. the Puritans fought a civil war in England to rid England from its Catholic friendly King Charles I who granted English Catholics a charter to its own colony in Maryland, named after his wife. under Cromwell and Maryland's Tolerance Act of 1649 Puritans forced the Catholics out of their own colony. do not forget the Salem Witch Trials. Quakers came to seek refuge from English persecution in Massachusetts and were immediately imprisoned by the Puritans and only released to get back on the ship to return to England. Puritans were the least tolerant of other Christian denominations. they did recognize God and in the first amendment they guaranteed the state would not tell the individual what they had to believe. the first state to disestablish a particular denomination was Virginia where three of the first four presidents lived. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison who is called the father of the constitution.
  - http://www.missiontoisrael.org/ Ted R. Weiland
    
    Wesley, your examples of Puritan aberrations do not disprove but prove the perfection of Yahweh's law (Psalm 19;7) and government, as I've previously pointed out to you. Anytime man deviates from His law, things go awry (to put it lightly) — case in point, as of yesterday, the last 225 years since the framers signed their seditious covenant against the God of the Bible. I think you would benefit from Gary North's "Conspiracy in Philadelphia: The Broken Covenant of the U.S. Constitution" at http://www.amazon.com/Conspiracy-Philadelphia-Broken-Covenant-Constitution/dp/1936577070.
    - Wesley
      
      i should add that the Bloodless Revolution was a second civil war against the King of England who this time was King James II. he could not get a army together because most British remembered the first bloody civil war from when they were younger and did not want to get involved this time in the conflict between their king and the Puritan controlled parliament. both times the Puritans violated Romans 13 while the American Revolution was not for the colonies had self-governments which were being overruled by the tyrant overseas. after the bloodless revolution Catholics in England were considered second-class citizens in Britain.
    - Jeff Dixon
      
      It shows the futility of believing that a government based on these absurd laws would be an improvement over the US Constitution.

Well – today's New Scientist has a four page article on evolution that reveals yet more evidence on top of the thousands of other papers on the subject. Cameron is clueless – no science no facts no fossils.
Bret Stiles

Kirk Cameron preaches works salvation. He is Satan, transformed into an angel of light.
Ethan

Mr. Cameron is on the right track.

Take the rejection of God's Laws, Statutes and Judgments with regard to sodomy as an example. It was once an unspeakable perversion in this land and violators were persecuted to the utmost. Now, not only are Christians supposed to tolerated such abominations, we're supposed to tolerated "marriage" between sodomites. Never!

The "default setting":

"If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them." Leviticus 20

"…and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them. " Romans 1

"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God." 1 Cor. 6
