The Biblical History of American Traditionalism

American Traditionalists believe in The Bible, in this Abridged Book of Prayers and the accompanying Bible Study Book.

American Traditionalists believe in the family in the Bible is from Adam and Eve, and their son Seth (Gen. 9:23 (KJV)), Abraham and Sarah, and their son Isaac (Gen. 25:19–34 (KJV)), and their grandson, Jacob, who God called Israel, his twelve sons and their descents through King David to Joseph and Mary, and their son Jesus. These are the people of God; and God gave them the wise teachings of the right judicial laws, good statute and commandments within The Bible.

And God said, "Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth (See: Gen. 1:26 (KJV))." And God blessed them, and God said unto them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, subdue the earth and replenish it (See: Gen. 1:28 (KJV)). Wherein there is life, I have given everything for food"; and it was so. The Lorde God did make coats of skins and gave them unto Adam; and also to Adam and to his wife, the Lorde God clothed them (See: Gen. 3:20 (KJV)).

American Traditionalists believe in an unbroken familiar line from Adam and Eve, their son Seth, to Noah and his three son, Shem, Japheth and Ham (Gen. 9:18-27; See Gen. 10:1-5, 21-32 (KJV)). And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and walked backward into Noah’s tent, and covered the nakedness of their father; and they saw not their father’s nakedness (Gen. 9:23 (KJV)). And Noah awoke from his wine stupor, and knew what his younger son had done unto him (See: Gen. 9:24 (KJV)). And he said, Cursed be Canaan, son of Ham; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren (Gen. 9:18, 25 (KJV)). And he said, "Blessed be the Lorde God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant (Gen. 9:26 (KJV)). God shall enlarge enough space for Japheth and his family, and they shall dwell in the tents of Shem in that land; and Canaan shall be his servant" (See: Gen. 9:26-27 (KJV)). Shem (the Semite History) became an ancestor of the line of Joseph and of Mary through King David.

These are the three sons of Noah, and of them was the whole earth overspread (Gen. 9:19 (KJV)). Children were born unto Shem, the elder brother of Japheth (See: Gen. 10:21-31 (KJV)) and were the seeds that found good ground, which having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit that prospers (See: Ps. 1:1-3 (KJV)). Even to Japheth, children were born (See: Gen. 10:21-31 (KJV)), and Japheth’s family members migrated towards the north and north-west to the islands of the Gentiles (See: Gen. 10:1-5 KJV)); they kept the message of the God of Adam alive. The sons of Japheth also were the seeds that found good ground, which having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit that prospers (See: Ps. 1:1-3 (KJV)); they brought ‘the message of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and then Jesus’ to white Northern European people while migrating though Europe, Great Britain and then to the Unites States of America (See: Rom. 11:36 (KJV)); the founding fathers were of white Northern European stock, of the Christian religion and of the Bible.

American Traditionalists understand some of the Hebrew culture via the Bible’s Old Testament by Abraham and his wife, Sarah’s son Isaac being the true heir to the world. After these things, the word of the Lorde came unto Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward (Gen. 15:1 (KJV)). And Abram said, Lorde God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house? (Gen. 15:2 (KJV)) Behold, the word of the Lorde came unto him, saying, This firstborn male child shall not be thine heir, but he that shall come forth out of thine own [wife’s body] shall be thine heir (Gen. 15:4 (KJV)). And he brought him forth abroad and said, Look now toward heaven, and count the stars, if thou be able to number them; So shall thy seed be (Gen. 15:5 (KJV)). And Abram believed in the Lorde and [the Lorde] counted it to him for righteousness (Gen. 15:6 (KJV)). And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God" (Gen. 17:8 (KJV)). And God said unto Abraham, "Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations" (Gen. 17:9 (KJV)).

Abram and his wife were free, but Sarai was barren; and he blamed his wife for not having a son. Abram’s wife, Sarai wanted her husband to be happy and to have an heir. Sarai sinned when she consented to her husband to bed her younger Egyptian slave to give birth to his son; And Abram sinned when he committed the sexual infidelity. Ishmael was Abraham’s half Hebrew/half Egyptian, and illegitimate oldest son. Sarah, Abraham’s wife, gave birth to their son, whose name was Isaac. Abraham cast the young Egyptian slave, Hagar and her son, Ishmael, out into the desert (See: Lev. 19:20, 29, 33 (KJV)); Isaac was anointed and became Abraham’s heir. Esau was Isaac’s oldest son who sold his birthrights to Jacob (Gen. 25:19–34 (KJV)). American Traditionalists believe that Isaac named his son Jacob, but God called his Israel, and believe in the twelve sons of Israel (See: Gen. 29:15–28; 30:22–24; 35:18 (KJV)).

American Traditionalists believe in the Tanakh (Jewish Bible), containing the Torah and the Talmud, and in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. As a reader, you should know that Islam is an offshoot of the Tanakh (Jewish Bible), and of the New Testament (Christian Bible). American Traditionalists do not believe in any type of Islam or in Muhammad the Prophet who created The Koran (Quran), the book of Islam.

American Traditionalists believe in keeping the orders that preserve us. Salvation comes according to thy words, in thy commandments, statutes and in thy judicial laws. So shall all of us keep thy laws continually forever and ever, and walk at liberty, for I seek thy orders.

Most people know the basics, so I am going to summarize here: A Jewish man named Joseph married a Jewish young woman named Mary; and Mary named her son Jesus. Jesus heard about his cousin John’s preaching and went from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the River Jordan. And straightway coming up out of the water. The Heavenly Father forgave this sin of the earthly waters. The heavenly water opened and sprinkled rain, therefore giving renewal and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him. And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased (Mark 1:8-11 (KJV)).

As a first born son, Jesus was to devote his life at the right age and teach the Hebrew way (See: Deut. 4:4–6; 2 Chron. 6:26–28 (KJV)) by word of mouth, so he did. He gained a following. And Jesus called the men that he converted, his disciples (See: Matt. 10:1–6 (KJV)), and Simon, who Jesus renamed Peter, was one of the twelve men (See: Mark 3:15–17 (KJV)). The Pharisees and the Romans were afraid of losing the control of their people, and understood that where there is a religious crowd, there is the power to manipulate, they conspired together to have Jesus killed. Jesus suffered and died on The Cross.

The Introduction of American Traditionalism

The early Christian Church believed: God worked for six days, and on the seventh day. Man was created in God’s image and they are to emulate God’s ways. Therefore, I am I am teach my children to work for six days, and on the seventh day, all of us are to have a holy day of rest and do not work. The Lorde God will cast out and drive away the nations from thee; and the Lorde God will enlarge thy borders and no man shall desire thy land. "If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray to the Heavenly Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever. Even the spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him, but ye know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you" (John 14:15-18 (KJV)). Several of Jesus’ followers called him the messiah, while others called him the Christ; from that, the Christian church was born. Disciple Peter (Latin) or Apostle Peter (Greek) is the first pope, and there is only one Christian church until the schism between Western Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Catholic Church.

The people of Northern Europe¹ were ruled their individual countries by the Western Roman Catholic Church until England’s King Henry and Germany’s catholic monk, Martin Luther. King Henry VIII severed ties with the Roman Catholic Church to divorce his catholic wife so he could have a younger woman bear a live male heir. To King Henry were born two live daughters: Princess Mary and Princess Elizabeth; finally, King Henry sired one male heir, Prince Edward VI. His sickly male heir created The Anglican Book of Prayers in 1549. After King Edward’s death, Queen Elizabeth I made several alterations to her brother’s book; The Anglican Book of Prayers reformed and solidified English countryside. The Protestant Reformation was born largely by Martin Luther and England’s King Henry VIII.

All of us that survived the first years of hardship have learned to adapt and thrive, so much so that the settlers established communities up and down the east coast. More people either told to ‘get on a ship to the new world’, or decided to a product of the Protestant Separatist Great Migration from England in the 1700s: the Puritans, Pilgrims, Quakers, and several other Protestant groups. and those people chose where to settle on the east coast, creating the 13 colonies. On January 12th, 1773, Deacon Ebenezer Smith helped to write The Sheffield Declaration; the letter was sent to King and the grievances were not resolved. So the original thirteen colonies delegates were summoned and gather; there they wrote a Declaration of Independence from England and went to war. They also decided that New World’s country’s name, The United States9 of America, and wrote the Constitution’s Preamble; Seven Articles, Signatories, and Twenty-Seven Amendments.The founding fathers of the U.S.A. were educated, and with education usually comes prestige¹, higher income, and knowledge of what you are talking about; and with prestige comes trust, and with the written word, then verbally and/or physically proving your hypothesis is correct, must of the time, people reward you.

Many of our families emigrated from England or similar Northern European counties or were born in the United States of America and wanted an Anbaumethode², cultivation method, to make a more united biblical way to guide us in our private lives and our public lives with a waste not, want not (Bewirtschaftung³) culture; if it is not in the bank, or we don’t have on hand, the money will have to be saved, not borrowed, or put on credit. Doing that would make us financially autonomous (Rom. 12:10–13 (KJV)). American Traditionalists believe that all of us have had to learn to be financially self-determinate and self-governing, and we believe in a Balanced Budget Amendment, therefore being our own conservatorship⁴.

American Traditionalists believe in Nationalism⁵; All of us have a great love and respect for our nation,⁵ the United States of America, and we wish out country to remain politically independent.⁵ Enculturation is the process by which an individual learns the traditional content of a culture and assimilates its practices and values.⁶ Our task-oriented leaders ⁷ have used approved ways of transmitting the core values and beliefs of the Bible into Protestantism and into the U.S.A as a culture. The combinations of Nationalism, Socialization, Enculturation creates the United States of the America a sustainable social and economical environment.

American Traditionalists believe in the family, not in be celibate; the Bible says that you are to teaches your children the ways of the God of Noah, Abraham, and Moses right to Jesus, and all of those men had families. All of us believe in being sexual discrete with the right person, in the right place, and at the right time. Affection, devotion, intimacy, and sexuality are not shameful nor are they evil; they are loving, healthy and functional private thoughts, emotions and acts in private lives (See: 1 Cor. 7:1-8, 1 Cor. 13; Eccl. 11:6-10; Rom. 1:18-31; 1 Tim. 5:1-8 (KJV, CJB)).

The Catholic Church teaches One that is unmarried cares for the things that belong to the Lorde, how he may please the Lord; But he that is married cares for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. And the unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lorde, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married cares for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. This I speak for your own profit, not that I may cast a snare upon you or put restrain upon you, but for that ye may attend upon the Lorde without distraction (See: 1 Cor. 7:32-35 (KJV)).

In the 1800’s and 1900’s, Protestant Christian churches formed in the United States: the Baptists, Evangelical, Episcopalian, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, and more. However, the modern and predominant protestant church that the American Traditionalists are similar to is the St. Mark’s Episcopal Church which is only several blocks from The White House in D.C.

Nature and Clothing

American Traditional people understand that ‘God created the heavens and the earth and the waters’ (See: Gen. 1:1-18; Gen 2:1-3 (KJV)). ‘God created every living thing and created mankind, each according to their own kind; and God saw that it was good’ (See: Gen. 1:19-31; Gen 2:1-3 (KJV)). And the Lorde [and Lady, his consort,] created male and female in their image. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth (See: Gen 1: 25-28 (KJV)); what you use, you replenish (See: Gen. 6:1-7 (KJV)).

There is nothing evil in nature, and in nature there is sex. The most basic thing in religion is the celebration of the fertility of Mother Earth with the Heavenly Father, for without the warmth of the Sun and the water from the heavens (See: Mark 1:10-11 (KJV)), there would be no life; neither can create life without the other. Both are equal parts to create a unified whole, and their children are the reward. The ‘Turning of the Wheel’ is the celebration of this seasonal cycle in nature, and within our own lives (See: Gen. 1:13-15; Eccl. 3:1-8 (KJV)).

A mankind are not animals, God taught man to hunt for food and shelter, and taught women to use the hides for coats of skins, clothes and shoes (See: Gen. 3:21 (KJV)). Mankind prospered and learned about animals and plants. And when agriculture was established, skin hide coats for warmth and wool clothing were still used, but plant natural plant fibers of linen (See: Gen. 41:41-43; Ex. 26:1 (KJV)) were also made of clothing that were lighter and is the least restrictive.

Society has a visual and textual limitations with clothing. We choose our clothing to suit how we want others to perceive us. Grunge, preppy, cowboy, sports-wear, leisure, business, formal, all are products of society. Without them, we are just who we are, and are unencumbered by society and its limitations and judgements. In any given religion, you might find an emergency room doctor, a suburban homemaker or mother, an accountant in his thirties, gardener, a vegetarian recycling feminist, massage therapist, a computer geek, rock musician, biker, a retail clerks, and a secretary with all variances of age groups. If all were to wear their daily clothing and jewelry, you would perceive them in their occupations with all of the accompanying societal status. You might be aware or unaware of the personal judgements and limitations that are placed on them when you look at them. Generally when you look at someone in a crowd, you place them on a social ladder of personal importance. You are more likely to take advice from ‘person A’ than from ‘person B’ just because of how they are dressed and adorned. However, without their clothing and jewelry, they are all perceived as the real people they are, and are all on the same socio-economic level.

Therefore, all personal barriers and judgements are lifted, and all are respected equally when all wear their white linen robes for the ‘rituals’ and ‘rites’. None of them are in the ‘mundane world’ anymore. All attendees may attained a similar experience by wearing the same white robe for the ritual or rite. All must choose clothing that is all the same in fabric, color, and style for all coveners; The preferred color and fabric being white linen.

The male and female First Degree ‘acting-priest’ and ordained priest wear the same white robe called a ‘Rocket’, while the ‘First Communion’ also wear a white cord; the male and female Second Degree ‘acting-priest and ordained priest wear the same ‘white Rocket’, while the ‘Altar Person(s)’ also wear a purple cord; and the male and female Third Degree ‘acting-priest’ and ordained priest wear the same white robe called a ‘Rocket’, while the ‘Confirmed’ person(s) wear a gold cord, and are allowed to preside over the ritual for training purposes. Informal ‘churches’ may have a Third Degree ‘’Acting-Priest" and/or Ordained Priest to teach religious classes, as well as to preside over the ritual. The person of the Third Degree may or may not choose to become ordained legally; if you are ordained, you are a member of the ordained clergy and are separate from going into politics.

All attendees may attained a similar experience by wearing the same medal of jewelry. It is understood that someone wearing gold will be seen as having more wealth than someone wearing silver or someone wearing stainless steel, or none. The means of these are thus: gold does not tarnish, therefore you should love for the Lorde thy God, your country and your family members as gold; silver has to be polished every now and them to retail the luster; stainless steel is a utilitarian medal used for cutlery, hardware and weapons. The ritual is not a fashion show, not is is popularity contest of wealth, status and prestige. Therefore, all wedding rings should be of gold and not taken off for religious or any other reasons. Small earrings should be of gold, diamond studs or pearl studs; if one is worn, one necklace should be of gold, diamond studs or white pearls. All religiously-gifted jewelry, (jewelry given bestowed upon a higher level of education: necklace, pendant, shield/buckle, ring, etc.) are to be worn; body piercing jewelry are for personal adornment and must all be removed for the rituals. ‘Going to church’ is not a fashion show for one-upmanship in status.

Days of the Week, Colors, And Their Planets

I have the combined this decline in memory with an easy way to retain some of clutter-free essentials. Each day of the week has an color that also corresponds to a specific planet. If you learn the day of the week, its color, and the planet, it will be easier to remember.

If you are a caregiver who is dealing with infants, toddlers and elementary school age children, or your client is Developmentally Disabled from birth; or if you are a caregiver who has a client who has had a mainstream life and has Acquire a Cognition Disabled status like a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), stroke, dementia, sun-downer’s syndrome, or attain a mentally disorder status like Hoarder’s Disorder (See: Ecc. 2:20-26 (KJV) and (CEB)), Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder (OCD) (See: Matt. 6:5-8 (KJV)) your cognition status and motor skills will be assessed along with the ability to perform ADL’s, ‘Activities of Daily Living’. These are entirely differently groups of people with different mental and emotional needs.

When you purchase a new mattress, also invest in a heavy gauge vinyl mattress cover (with or without zipper). You won’t be embarrassed when you take the sheets off; the mattress will still be nice and clean. Installing a heavy gauge vinyl mattress cover with zipper not only keeps the mattress safe from dirt, dust, allergens like dust mites and mold, bodily fluids, night-sweats and involuntary urinary incontinence, and there will be no odors that you have become ‘nose-blind’ to. If you put them off from the time your child moves from the crib to a bed, there is no stigma attached from young to old age. A helpful reminder of when to do the laundry is to have the bath and bed linen color coordinated to the laundry day.

In your closet, have a full week light socks and full week of medium socks (navy or brown and black), undergarments (briefs and three wire-free sports bras), two shirts for each day of the week (short and long sleeves), and two pairs of pants (capris, shorts, slacks) or skirts (navy or brown or black), two light sweaters (navy or brown or black) and two medium sweaters (navy or brown or black) and two to four or the same color and type of sleeping wear, a robe, rain coat and winter coat.

The Sanctifications

Of the Altar and Things On It

The Four Directions. As a visual reminder, there should be a candle for each direction.

The Communion Altar. The word some people use as an Altar is actually a Communion Altar or a Communion Table; Cakes and Wine are served there. You may have an Open Altar, where those things that are needed can be put underneath it, where they can be easily reached, or you may have a Closed Altar like a cupboard, where things are placed inside for storage and protection. The Communion Altar in the east.

Light. There is to be light always whether it is in the daytime or nighttime: the Sun for the day, and the Moon and stars for the night. Because the sun and moon rise in the east and set in the west, Communion Altar should have one candle to the north and one candle to the south to firmly establish the earth (See: Ps. 119:88-90 (KJV). You may also have two 3-armed candelabras in the east and one candle in the west for more light.

The Sanctuary Lantern (or Chancel Lamp). The Lantern should have virgin olive oil is in a lantern and it is to always be lit. Not a lot people have such a lantern, so they light a red votive candle lit inside it: the red votive candle is the morning in the east and symbolizing that you have to fight to keep your religion and country or they will be taken over by a more powerful religious country. As the priest is looking at first the Communion Altar and then the people, the red votive candle must be placed to the left of the altar.
