Back to your post, I believe the first Christians that came to America were in the hope of freedom of living a better life, and practice the true Christian religion. To live by the gospel of Jesus Christ. They did the best to their ability. Wars and possessions, was always a problem. Today modern Christians, fall short to those of the past. As you can see in the debates of the modern sins, creeping into the local church. The love of money, and false teachings. Blind members follow the crowd and seek fame. Watch out with the know-it-all preachers. The truth was is the East first, then cross over to the West. Those that are against Israel, under the Christian flag, are fake.
