The Word of God Is Everywhere

The Word of God is Everywhere

During the late 1700's religion and church was a big part in everyone's lives. Like now ski scrapers cover ski where then you could only see church steeples. When the war was coming around I believe that religion had a huge role in it.

Citizens were found torn between the war a citizen could be found between scriptures and political writing of the English Whigs. As a Christian you turn to God for everything, the decisions you make, forgiveness and to talk to him about daily events. So when the different religions were taking there stands on war of course God was involved with the war. As the Anglican religion, Ð'Ñ* of the religion supported the revolution as an Anglican clergy. So even war they are know as to what religion they belong to. Some people during the war were confused as which side to choose if even to choose one or not support the war at all. The pastors led sermon to try and convince the people what is best for them or what God is telling him is best. As leaders in the community preachers are huge impacts in everyone's day to day life. If you go to church on Sunday and you are hearing their view on the revolution of coarse you are going to be influenced by that. So religion will be in the revolution in every which way. I believe during a time like this were the people are threaten with war coming into their lives, turn to God for the answers to all their questions and concerns. As an Anglican said" we are bound to stand fast in our civil as well as our spiritual freedom." People believed this truly and whole heartedly.

Different religion went separate ways on supporting the war some even split like the Baptist divided. As it got to the wire more and more preachers related the war to sermons like saying our armor in war is the shield of the lord. The colonist thought that they should "appeal to heaven!" If they appeal to the Lord then he would award victory to people fighting for justice in his name that a number of colonial regiments marched into battle bearing flags inscribed with "An Appeal to Heaven." George Washington thought that he was a general destined for such a period as this. The people thought that God placed them on earth to fight for him so they were in support for the war.

So whether they supported the war or thought that God was a huge role in their decisions
