John Adams, “WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?” (Part 5)
THE HIDDEN FAITH OF THE AMERICAN FOUNDING FATHERS
John Adams (1735-1826)
Second American President and First Vice-President who helped Thomas Jefferson draft the Declaration of Independence
Introduction
Please allow me to share a short “What If” story with you. Imagine this scenario: What if Jack Hibbs chose to include an astonishing but true account in one of his sermons titled “The general principles of the founding of America were both the principles of God and the devil at the same time”?
Whoa! The vast majority, if not all, of Jack’s congregation would leave his church immediately. As we will see later, Jack Hibbs is a firm believer in John Adams’ Christianity and his recognition, along with Benjamin Franklin, that there is no sovereign other than King Jesus.
Their King Jesus axiom was merely a ruse for their hostility toward autocracy. AI Copilot provides us with a valid reason for this.
Freemasonry, as a philosophical and fraternal organization, generally promotes values such as liberty, equality, and fraternity. These principles are often at odds with autocratic forms of government, which concentrate power in the hands of a single ruler or a small group, often at the expense of individual freedoms and democratic processes.
Historically, Freemasons have been recognized for their support of republican virtues such as self-government and their opposition to the claims of royalty and autocracy.. This opposition stems from their belief in the significance of personal autonomy, freedom of thought, and the rule of law. Influential Masons, including George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, played pivotal roles in founding democratic institutions in the United States.
In summary, Freemasonry’s core values and historical actions suggest a preference for democratic governance over autocratic rule. (1 daily.jstor.org2 esotericfreemasons.com3 freemasonscommunity.life).
And Jack Hibbs thinks the ruse of King Jesus as their only king is awesome? Really? How can you claim Jesus Christ as your only King if you reject the Trinity?
And, if you are still skeptical about the rapid decline of monarchies around the world, read the articles on the subject that have appeared in some of the most prominent newspapers and on the Internet. That is not so difficult to figure out because only two countries have never had a king or queen to rule.
The United States has the most Freemasons in the world, with an estimated 2 million members (or 0.6% of the total population). Given that Freemasonry has always been opposed to monarchy and has infiltrated almost every constitutional system, from government to education, entertainment, and even the church, it is understandable that a monarchial system has never taken root in the United States.

What could be the reason for the gradual decline of monarchies? Who is orchestrating its demise? To answer this question, we need to know which countries have never had monarchies. The United States of America has never had a king or monarch since its founding as an independent nation in 1776. Switzerland has also never had a king or monarch in its history and has been a federal republic since 1848.
Given that the United States has the highest proportion of Freemasons in the world (an estimated 2 million, approximately 0.6% of the total population) and an aversion to royalty, it is not surprising that they have never had a monarch.
As a result, the United States has emerged as the pinnacle of so-called democracy and the driving force behind the French Revolution’s “Liberté, égalité, fraternité” in the Americas. Is it so difficult to understand why Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, with their “Revolution Principle,” were so enamored with Voltaire, whose writings influenced revolutionary ideology?
The author of this article believes that the toes of Nebuchadnezzar’s statue depicted as a mixture of iron and clay, will be a mixture of democracy and autocracy (Islamic Sharia Law). As we already know, it is already doomed to fail.
Facts Are Stubborn Things
Jack highly values John Adams’ statement, “Facts are stubborn things.” Indeed, facts are stubborn, so we cannot attribute the quote “What if” to John Adams as true because he never said those words. What if he said something similar to support the earlier statement?
The most important fact to remember is that Jack Hibbs cannot call John Adams a “revisionist” because Adams freely mixed God (Biblical Christianity) and the devil (Voltaire and Rousseau) in some of his letters to Thomas Jefferson.
Before we proceed, it is important to note that John Adams was a Unitarian. Unitarianism is a non-trinitarian form of Christianity. They unequivocally affirm the oneness of God as the singular and unique creator of the universe, thus rejecting the truth proclaimed in John 1:1-5
They believe that God inspired Jesus Christ’s moral behavior and teachings, and that he is the Saviour of humanity, in the sense that the emulation of his moral behavior and teachings is the primary hinge that opens heaven’s gates. However, they are resolute in stating that he is not equal to God, which is also an outright denial of the facts expounded in John 10:30
In essence, Unitarianism values individual freedom of belief, the free exercise of reason in religion, and frequently advocates for liberal social action. It fits Freemasonry like a glove.
The following “What if” scenario poses an intriguing question: How would John Adams respond if Jesus Christ asked him, “Who do you say that I am?”
Adams would most likely have presented a Unitarian perspective, emphasizing that while Jesus is not the divine Son of God equal to the Father, he remains the embodiment of compassion, generosity, and mercy.
According to this view, Jesus serves as a model for humanity to emulate without the need for sacrificial redemption (Hebrews 9:22; 10:5-10).
By following his path of moral integrity, kindness, compassion, generosity, and mercy, Unitarians aspire to attain eternal life and reach the heavenly abode.
May I remind Pastor Jack Hibbs of the Calvary Chapel Church at Chino Hills, California, what John Adams, the second American President and First Vice President, said about facts? He said, ‘FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS” and Jack says amen to that. I would also like to remind Jack what Paul says in 2 Corinthians 6:14-17.
If John Adams had been a devoted Christian who recognized only King Jesus as his king, according to Jack Hibbs, he would not have intertwined God and Satan to illustrate Christian values with a mishmash of light and darkness.
Christian Nationalism/Patriotism
Our readers will likely recall how Jesus gathered his disciples in Peter’s house one day and gave them the following instructions.
Pay attention, everyone. I feel that I must talk to you about this very serious issue. To put it briefly, I am completely fed up with this absurdity of separating church and state. Pay close attention. Before My kingdom can finally come to pass on earth, Christians must seize complete control of their governments and proclaim that Christ’s kingdom has arrived. Do you understand that? You need to fight, fight, fight to set up my kingdom. So, don your caps inscribed with mottos such as “Jesus is my Savior, Peter is my president.” Carry signs and additional protest materials, assemble in front of Caesar’s Palace, and demand that he cease the persecution and killing of my beloved followers. And tell him with great fervour that civil war will break out unless he responds in obedience to your demands. Get that? Off you go. Do as I say.
Of course, this is nowhere to be found in God’s Word. What I do find is this:
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. (Matthew 28:18-20)
Christian nationalism is growing in the United States, especially in churches where members are persuaded to vote for candidates who they believe to be devout Christians.
An online article emphasizes how evangelical Christians in America are becoming more and more likely to support political figures despite their personal lives.
Their main priority is to ensure that their chosen leader will fulfil promises for a brighter tomorrow. They don’t seem to care about their leader’s relationship with God the Trinity; what matters most is finding someone who delivers the goods and gets rid of the baddies.
Revolution Principles
This trend has been in vogue since the establishment of the United States. It is interesting to note that multiple quotes from John Adams purport to support the idea that the foundation of America rested firmly on Christian values.
Upon closer examination, it is evident that Adams was a profound spiritual alchemist adept at blending Christian and Pagan philosophies, which he referred to as “revolution principles.”
It seems reminiscent of the concept of “Christian Communism,” which suggests that the early Christian Church portrayed in the Acts of the Apostles resembled a form of early communism or Christian socialism.
The perspective implies that communism was essentially the practical application of Christianity, with Jesus being portrayed as the pioneer of communism.
John Adams drew inspiration for his revolution from two French Enlightenment philosophers who played a major role in starting the French Revolution: Voltaire (François-Marie d’Arouet) and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Voltaire also had a significant influence on Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson.
Voltaire was the one who opposed Christianity the most, although Rousseau also held strong feelings against it. Voltaire frequently attacked Christianity, claiming that twelve illiterate fishermen founded it.
“It was twelve ignorant fishermen who established Christianity. I will show the world how a single Frenchman can destroy it,” he declared confidently. (Cited in “Thy Kingdom Come: A History of Christ’s Church in the Old Testament Era,” Chapter 59 by J. Parnell McCarter).
A lot of Voltaire’s aversion to biblical Christianity rubbed off on John Adams, as we can see from a letter he wrote to Thomas Jefferson on December 25, 1813: “I should have given my reason… for rejoicing in Voltaire and company…. It is because I believe they have done more to propagate religious liberty than Calvin or Luther. .
One who calls for the annihilation of Christianity in the name of religious liberty is a man who has been duped by Satan’s lies, and we hold him in the highest contempt. The three men depicted in the group painting—Voltaire, Rousseau, and Franklin—had similar ideas. None of them were awesome, a word Jack Hibbs often uses to describe his heroes. The were all enemies of God.
Mark my words: Christian nationalism is paving the way for the Antichrist to appear sooner than we expect.
