Again America Flaunts Her Disdain For the True God

[hepatocyte]

Does anyone know if people chose to abstain from the "blessing"? After all, you have the freedom to not listen to a pagan text, right?

I am very tired of people bashing and condemning America. Don't we get enough of that from the rest of the world? Come on, it is about the inalienable rights of all americans. it's my understanding from corinthians that we could make all kinds of laws or outlaw all kinds of things but if we have not love so what!

it is also my understanding that as americans in general, we love !! aren't we still the most charitable nation? the usa today reported that we gave almost 300 billion dollars last year Also:

http://www.usatoday.com/ Gaudiani said Americans give twice as much as the next most charitable country, according to a November 2006 comparison done by the Charities Aid Foundation. In philanthropic giving as a percentage of gross domestic product, the U.S. ranked first at 1.7%. No. 2 Britain gave 0.73%, while France, with a 0.14% rate, trailed such countries as South Africa, Singapore, Turkey and Germany.

I am certainly not out to offend any American sensitivities here...

But what makes anyone think that America is a Christian nation?

In my opinion, America is no more a 'Christian' nation than is England, or Israel, or any other nation on earth.

Christians (true Christians) make up a very small minority of the population of any country.

It is all very well and good to say that the founding fathers of America were Christians, with high ideals.....or that the British judicial system is based on the ten commandments.....

But this is not borne out in everyday life in any of our cultures or nations.

The vast majority of people in all our societies are anti-God and anti-Christian.

The nations won't be 'Christian' until Christ returns.

From whom did we put in writing we get our inalienable rights?

Let's see....it certainly doesn't say from "the all exclusive christian bible-god."

Well Sherlock...Which God were the Founding Fathers referring to?

Never said America didn't have good people ...doing good things... But America put it in writing that she would honor the od that truly blessed this nation...and I know how very blessed America was... and for a little time more ...will continue to be blessed...but on a rapidly sliding-scale.... then total destruction...you may not like it that I am telling the truth...but the day is coming when all we Americans are going to have... is what we have stored up... then America will feel pain as she has never as ...and that will happen whether you think it will or not...God is not mocked...

One can choose to walk away from a blessing... sure...but God's gifts are given without repentance ... that is exactly what America has done

As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

Treaty of Tripoli 1797, article 11

You fail to see that along with the LORD blessing the formation of the Constitution and Bill of Rights... satan has his hand in the mix too... you are right... but have you ever heard of anything being done on earth where satan did put his corrupt hands into the making thereof?

Was the Treaty of Tripoli ever signed??? Isn't that the bill that was written and is still floating around after all these years but was never signed or voted into part of the US laws????

Never said America was a "Christian Nation"...what I said was the "Founding Fathers" did something never before done in the history of mankind... a newly forming country...put in writing acknowledging The Creator ... and founded their rights on an inalienability given to them by Him and based their laws on His Word...the 10 commandments...well most of the 10... those actions and more established the "Blessing of America" ... then ...even after all she had done to disgraces herself with wars and 400 years of slavery...The True and Living God ...blessed American ...openly and for all to see ... to show her how very much He loved her...and was still willing to forgive her her sins He sent the "Latter Rain" of His Holy Spirit...for 3-1/2 years...on America in 1906 on Azuza Street, SanFran... That was a mighty blessing in spite of all her sins... and was that enough for her to straiten up a fly right... Noooo....now look...America so despised God...she made that same SanFran the nations "capitol" of homosexuality... showing nothing but contempt for God at every turn... she got rid of slavery...but replaced it with institutionalized slavery... She took prayer out of the classroom and replaced it with Heather Has Two Mommies... and Daddy's Has A Roommate... and today to preach condemnation of homosexuality is a hate crime... and you can be arrested and face charges... and that's is just for starters...and you wonder WHY America will be judged? Get Real!
