One Nation Under God · The Slippery Slope

• 0:10
  Hi, I'm Jay Fallon, thanks for listening to the Slippery Slope.
• 0:15
  So I watched watched a video several days ago and it
• 0:19
  absolutely astounded me. I always think of the United
• 0:23
  States of America as a predominantly Christian nation.
• 0:28
  This nation that has the Pledge of Allegiance, which has the
• 0:32
  phrase 11 Nation under God within the pledge.
• 0:38
  From what I found online, this phrase was added in 1954 during
• 0:42
  the Cold War era. President Dwight D Eisenhower
• 0:47
  encouraged Congress to include these words to distinguish the
• 0:51
  US from godless communism. The change came about after
• 0:56
  Minister George Docherty recited a sermon about it while
• 1:00
  President Eisenhower was in attendance.
• 1:03
  Docherty and Eisenhower spoke after the sermon, and Eisenhower
• 1:07
  introduced legislation to modify the Pledge of Allegiance the
• 1:12
  next day. Since that time, Under God has
• 1:16
  been officially recognised as a part of the text, the current
• 1:21
  version of the pledge reads. I pledge allegiance to the flag
• 1:25
  of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it
• 1:30
  stands, One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and
• 1:36
  justice for all. Of course, justice for all means
• 1:41
  exactly that, justice for everyone, no matter what you
• 1:44
  believe, no matter what deity you pray to and believe in.
• 1:50
  But watching this video of an Indian, American Sikh
• 1:56
  Republican, her name was Hamid Dylan.
• 2:00
  She recently recited the artists at the at the Republican
• 2:05
  National Convention in Milwaukee.
• 2:08
  She did this in the presence of the party's presidential
• 2:11
  nominee, Donald Trump. And I, I watched the video and I
• 2:16
  started to question the true cost of this justice, the
• 2:20
  justice for all that that we want to believe in that we do
• 2:24
  believe in that. And the Western nations try to
• 2:28
  follow America, like I said, has it in their Pledge of
• 2:31
  Allegiance. So Dylan said at the forum, she
• 2:35
  said, I come from a family of Sikh immigrants and I'm honoured
• 2:40
  to share with you my fellow Republicans and guests tonight,
• 2:44
  a prayer from my faith and tradition practised by over
• 2:48
  25,000,000 worldwide. We recite the artists the seek
• 2:53
  prayer before any new endeavour, giving thanks to God and asking
• 3:01
  for His protection and help to uphold the values of humility,
• 3:06
  truth, courage, service and justice for all, she added.
• 3:13
  This is the prayer, dear Wahe Guru, OK, it doesn't even sound
• 3:20
  right coming out of my mouth. This is, in my opinion, this is
• 3:25
  I'm a Christian, this is what I would call a false God.
• 3:30
  This is power, a principality that is vying for the faith of
• 3:36
  the people, vying for the hearts and souls of people, leading
• 3:43
  people astray. Anyway, so she says, dear, why
• 3:46
  have you pronounced this our one true God?
• 3:50
  We thank you for creating America as a unique heaven on
• 3:54
  this earth where all people are free to worship according to
• 3:58
  their faith. We seek your blessings and
• 4:01
  guidance for our beloved country.
• 4:04
  Please bless our people with wisdom as they vote for the
• 4:08
  upcoming election, and please bless with humility, honesty,
• 4:12
  skill and integrity all those who conduct the election, she
• 4:18
  had said after offering the artists.
• 4:23
  So I'm just going to pray to you.
• 4:26
  Sorry, pray. I'm going to play to you the the
• 4:28
  video our meet Dylan. Thank you everyone.
• 4:41
  These last 48 hours have been some of the most intense, yet
• 4:45
  most prayerful of our lives. The heinous attack on President
• 4:49
  Trump and his supporters made all of us pause and seek answers
• 4:53
  and comfort. I come from a family of sick
• 4:56
  immigrants. I am honoured to share with you,
• 4:59
  my fellow Republicans and guests tonight, a prayer from my faith
• 5:02
  tradition practised by over 25,000,000 worldwide.
• 5:06
  We recite the Ardas prayer before any new endeavour, giving
• 5:10
  thanks to God and asking for His protection and help to uphold
• 5:14
  the values of humility, truth, courage, service and justice for
• 5:20
  all. To show respect, we cover our
• 5:22
  heads when we pray. head, our one true God.
• 6:27
  We thank you for creating America as a unique haven on
• 6:31
  this earth where all people are free to worship according to
• 6:34
  their faith. We seek your blessings and
• 6:37
  guidance for our beloved country.
• 6:39
  Please bless our people with wisdom as they vote in the
• 6:43
  upcoming election. And please bless with humility,
• 6:46
  honesty, skill and integrity all those who conduct the election.
• 6:51
  Finally, we thank you for the Jardikala spirit that we have
• 6:56
  witnessed in President Trump. That is, the tireless and
• 7:00
  uplifting, uplifting spirit that is sustained even in the face of
• 7:04
  violent adversity, like a founding Father centuries ago.
• 7:08
  And we thank you, dear God, for protecting his life.
• 7:11
  We thank you for his examples of nirbhah, fearlessness, and near
• 7:16
  ver the absence of hate when faced with vitriol.
• 7:20
  These examples of extraordinary calm inspire us.
• 7:26
  Nanik naam jardikala tere bane sarbatapalla.
• 7:31
  May your name forever be exalted, spreading happiness and
• 7:35
  blessings and good spirit, that everyone may prosper and enjoy
• 7:39
  the grace of your peace. Thank you.
• 7:43
  I I was struck by the phrase one true God.
• 7:48
  Jesus spoke a lot about truth when he walked the earth in John
• 7:53
  15. Jesus said I am the true vine
• 7:58
  and my Father is the vine dresser.
• 8:00
  Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away and
• 8:06
  every branch that bears fruit he prunes that it may bear more
• 8:11
  fruit. In John 14 Jesus said from from
• 8:17
  verse 6, Jesus has said he was talking.
• 8:21
  Jesus says I am the way, the truth and the life.
• 8:25
  No one comes to the Father except through me because Jesus
• 8:32
  is the way, the truth and the life.
• 8:35
  In John 18, this is and this has been going around and ran in my
• 8:39
  mind for a long time for quite a while now this this section of
• 8:43
  Scripture when pilots talking to Jesus from verse 37 Pilate
• 8:49
  therefore says to Jesus, he says are you a king Then it's asking
• 8:53
  this question, are you a king? Jesus answered you say rightly
• 8:58
  that I am a king for this 'cause I was born and for this 'cause I
• 9:02
  have come into the world he came into the world He was born he
• 9:06
  came into the world to die. His whole purpose was to take,
• 9:12
  to take our sin upon himself. OK, So he says for this, 'cause
• 9:18
  I was born for this cause, I've come into this world that I
• 9:21
  should bear witness to the truth, bear witness to the
• 9:27
  truth. Everyone who was of the truth,
• 9:30
  He is my voice. Pilot said to him, What is
• 9:34
  truth? I can just I can imagine in my
• 9:39
  head the frustration in Pilot, like it's not AI.
• 9:43
  Don't think it's a question where he's being cynical.
• 9:47
  I I think maybe he's telling me going what he really wants to
• 9:50
  know what is truth? Someone who's been looking
• 9:53
  around saying, Hey, I need to know what truth is.
• 9:56
  I need to know the truth. So then the Bible points us
• 10:04
  towards the truth. We, we live in this world.
• 10:07
  That's that tells us we can have our own truth.
• 10:10
  A lot of unfortunately, a lot of self described Christians
• 10:14
  believe that there is more than one way to be saved, more than
• 10:18
  one way to believe and go to heaven.
• 10:21
  And this is perfectly acceptable.
• 10:23
  As long as that is what you believe, then God will accept
• 10:27
  you as being a person of faith. But this is not what the Bible
• 10:31
  teaches. As you saw in the video, there
• 10:35
  were there were people, there was people that you know, had
• 10:37
  their heads bowed, eyes closed in, in reverence.
• 10:43
  But the giving reverence to a false God, the giving reverence
• 10:47
  to a a power that is not godly, that is not holy.
• 10:54
  I've, I've heard Bible teachers say that America is not
• 10:57
  mentioned in end times Bible prophecy and I wonder if the
• 11:03
  reason why it's not mentioned is because it is now so divided, so
• 11:08
  spiritually and morally bankrupt that it rumbles from within and
• 11:13
  just becomes inconsequential. Not just America, like I'm not
• 11:18
  trying to pick on America, but this is where that video comes
• 11:21
  from. We've been watching the downfall
• 11:23
  of America and actually all of Western society for decades now.
• 11:28
  Nations like the United States, like the United Kingdom,
• 11:33
  England, Britain, whatever you want to say it, Australia, New
• 11:38
  Zealand, other nations within Europe that were founded on
• 11:43
  Judeo Christian beliefs, principles we now embrace every
• 11:50
  form of immoral and spiritual corruption, but all while
• 11:55
  denying the one true God, the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 12:01
  In the book of Luke, Luke Chapter 11, Jesus says every
• 12:08
  Kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation and a
• 12:13
  house divided against a house falls.
• 12:20
  I I look at this video and that's what I think Western
• 12:26
  society is just a house divided against itself.
• 12:32
  We embrace every kind of religion, every kind of belief.
• 12:37
  We embrace powers and principalities that we have no
• 12:40
  idea the consequence. And then we wonder why our
• 12:46
  nation, we wonder why Western society is crumbling from
• 12:50
  within. A Kingdom divided against itself
• 12:55
  is brought to desolation. So I wonder whether a nation
• 13:02
  like America that has the Pledge of Allegiance, it says one
• 13:06
  nation under God, but praise to various other gods.
• 13:15
  Now it's just a nation divided against itself and is being
• 13:21
  brought to desolation. Is that what is happening here?
• 13:26
  Is that why we're seeing? Is that the real reason why we
• 13:33
  do not read of nations like the United States within end times
• 13:40
  Bible prophecy? We are watching the downfall of
• 13:44
  Western society crumbling from within because we embrace every
• 13:49
  other Pagan religion, spiritual religion, spiritualism,
• 13:55
  everything other than the one true God, the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 14:02
  That's my opinion. Thanks for listening to the
• 14:06
  slippery slope and say it
