Old Philosophy Pops Up Again...
Here's a very interesting study I found about an older philosophy that is popping up again and again in the average American's household... I found it very true, and we must correct people who believe in this false philosophy... or their grammar...
Oh yes, this is not one of those forwards that I scraped from the middle of that long email road... no, someone did not send this to me. I found it by my self.

The 'Michael's Third Regiment' Theory
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In our lives, across America, mostly, many people are falling under a false philosophy that has popped up again and again in our current age. Many young people are being pulled into it, many without even knowing it. This philosophy is known as the 'Michael's Third Regiment' Theory.
-----------------------
The Michael's Third Regiment Theory states that Jesus did not die on the cross, as is said in the Bible, but that he died in the position of the Lord's Army, while riding on the donkey into Jerusalem, supposedly to start a battle.
-----------------------
This is not a new theory, and it actually dates back to the eighteen-hundreds. Some of the greatest Christian Scholars themselves, like George Bennard, William R. Newell, and even Walter G. Taylor believed in this false philosophy, and it shows through all of their works. For example; in the song by Mr. George Bennnard, it states that:
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above to bear it to dark Cavalry.
And again, Bill Newell also threw some of this philosophy into his works. For example:
Knowing not it was for me He died on Cavalry.
And lastly, Walter Taylor threw some of the theory into her works. Example:
My guilt and despair Jesus took on Him there... And Cavalry covers it all.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even Sunday school teachers of Christian, Baptist, even Methodist churches all alike tell their students that Jesus died for them on [the] Cavalry.
Even my Mother tells my younger sisters and brothers that Jesus died for them on Cavalry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's very sad today that Americans believe this false theory, that Jesus himself died on the his donkey, in God's Cavalry. We as Christians, or at least as grammar freaks, should tell people that Jesus did not die on Cavalry, but that indeed, he suffered on Calvary for our sins.
---------------------------------------
Please take care that you don't tell people that Jesus died on Cavalry. Instead, tell them the truth, not only about Jesus, and where he died, but also tell them about grammar, and how important grammar is vital to the American Language.

Please, tell everyone about this. Help our country's grammar.
