America no longer the beautiful

[thereaperman]

what i dont get is that in the redneck south the arguemtn for the death penalty is advocated by the old "an eye for an eye" argument. but didnt jesus say "if you enamy slaps your left cheek, turn and let him slap your right". how can a country that uses selective religion and kill people as a result (something only god has the right to do surley?) claim to be a nation of god? i think if bush tries to do any peace deals with the middle east hes the anti christ.....

Our Country is no longer America the beautiful.

Well, I am not so sure I agree

Being Canadian, of course, the perspective is a bit different....

But if one has travelled to other places i n the world the thing that stands out about the United States, for me, is that it is still unabashedly a country where the Name of Jesus is lifted up; where the rights & dignity of the individual are entrenched in the constitution.

It is a country that still is on the cutting edge of different kinds of missionary outreach to the far corners of the earth ;

and the country ( along with Britain) that supports Israel . ..

From my perspective American IS beautiful.

when I posted this, I was looking at where we have come as a nation and where we are going. There is no other country I would rather live in or die for! Im concerned where we are going, it's just sad to think what we once were. It's still a better place to live than anywhere else as far as im concerned I just think we need a wake up call.

Amen , There is alot of work to be done , but not many workers . As for the sins of our nation , it's not as bad here for Christians as in other countries thats for sure . Their are a few instances in the news of people being arrested at gay rallies or at abortion clinics , but not on a massive scale like in other parts of the world . We need to pray in earnest that our country comes back to it's moral beginnings and stops allowing things that are obviously immoral , not only for the Christian population , but for the rest as well .

sorry tubal but i disagree with you saying you envy your children because you say it's the greatest time in history to live. I have two children that are still babies but i don't envy the America we live in, or the America that will be left to them by the time the ACLU, God hating left wing liberal's get done ruining our country. Marriage is no longer defined in society as 1 man and 1 women, abortion is legal, drug use is rampant, lets see what fills our headlines each day and it's getting worse and worse. I don't see America repenting and turning to God as a nation. Individuals will but not as a nation. Yes it's still the greatest place to live yes i would die for my nation, but just like mankind has fallen so has America. I don't see America through rose colored glasses. In my view America has fallen from where she once was she is no longer America the beautiful
