Hi ShepsMom,

I tend to agree. Christianity already professed the guilt of everyone. Those who believe have their sin covered. We made be bad but were we ever any better? Were we humane to the Indians or Africans in the past? However it is certainly the case that in the US there is a doomsday cult that is very active.

Which nation?

Matthew 21
43 “Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it. 44 And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.”

If you mean the US it never really mattered much.

No, most of us live in modern age North America.

But in all seriousness, to answer your question, I'd say no. If anything, we're living in a modern day Roman Empire. That's not to say pockets of Sodom and Gomorrah don't exist....but as a whole, I don't think things are on the same scale.

Did I say that the entire country had no morals? No. However, you are silly to think that we are without sin. I am not trying to convert anyone.

No it's just true , since we all believe that we are born in sin and ALL fall short of the glory of God.

Absolutely, I think it was Billy Graham who said, "if God doesn't destroy America then He owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology.

Because that's the way it is. No obsession, no scare tactic, it's just the way America is going, and it will only get worse.

I know you don't believe this, but He will.
