8:36 So if the son sets you free, you will be really free.
Sin is indeed the problem, and even a curse. God will never endorse sin, never. As long as people insist upon their own way, things will only worsen. The days of Noah, and Sodom and Gomorrah, are at hand. And, we know the end of those things.

And it matters little what translation you use, the United States is spoken of in the Scriptures. You will not find the name Jesus Christ in the Old Testament either. Yet because of the Old Testament, over a billion people call Jesus Christ God.

WHY IS THAT?
I would say that is more because of the NT, not the OT.

How do you know the US is spoken of?

Wow. You have absolutely no clue about other religions. I mentioned the Mayans before. Feel free to study several cultures of Native Americans. You'll be shocked how accurate their predictions were (that is, before they were murdered and their civilizations destroyed by your "pro-life" religion).

You're just trying to create a myth that you have the one true path and everyone else is wrong. That may be Christian, but it is certainly not of Christ.

Yeah, we should listen to the people who believe in talking animals.

Has England, has America crossed the line. Yes.
Is Judgement on its way? I think so. But I think we are living in the end days. Sounds radical, but there is some radical immorality going on - but not just that - but being applauded.
People get ready, Jesus is Coming, Soon we'll be going home.......
So again, when the U.S. had slavery, genocide against the natives, Jim Crow, etc, God blessed her?

It is. Take the next logical step, and admit that it was just as egocentric when the Israelites thought it. Then take the next logical step, and admit that it's a contemptible and embarrassing idea no matter what nation claims it or in what era.

no no nightflight.. God obviously only blessed America during the good times..

like when Velcro was invented.. or the shamwow. all other bad times were NOT God!

The idea that God somehow favors the United States is reason # 18,491 that people roll their eyes at "evangelicals" and their ilk.

God has abandoned America? Thank GOD for that.

Can we stop fighting wars for God and can we stop imposing beliefs on to others?

Thank you God for leaving! Now we all can THINK-rationally and logically.

Bye bye God. Don't bother coming back.

If it were not for the Old Testament, there never would of been a New Testament. Jesus Christ fulfilled over 300 prophecies found in the Old Testament, and that is why we know who Jesus Christ is today. America is spoken of in the same way. And it requires the writings found in both the Old and the new Testaments to understand the prophecies that speak of America. When the prophecies are place together, we see America and her future.

We appreciate transparency. You can pump up some guts/honesty and say, "Bye Bye Christian God"
