Christian nation?
OK, we have considered the U.S. to be a Christian Nation for a long time. Consider the fact that we abort some 57 million babies in the U.S. in I think it has been 40+ years (Murder). Consider the fact that our Supreme Court has just made same sex marriage legal across the country(contrary to scripture). Consider the language that is common place on face book and other Media. Listen to the music that has become popular. Our television programming has become a steady diet of adultery. Many of the popular shows like the Today Show support and promote Same Sex marriage, and how many times have you seen them celebrating the birth of a child and perhaps the parents will get married next year or sometime in the future (the child is innocent). We are considered to be antiquated if we still believe in the ten commandments. Look at not only sports but politics, its OK to cheat and win. Sports taking performance enhancing drugs, politicians and sports figures, lying under oath. Politicians, slander and tear down even other members of their own party. We post video after video of bad police action even when statistically these incidents are .0039% of all interactions with police. We have done so much of this that many of the public no longer trust the police. We are certainly not acting christian when we murder at will, slander at will, lie and cheat to win. Glorify National sin on a daily basis. Hold up criminals to be saints and name buildings or programs after them. Call evil good and good evil. This is not what a christian is suppose to do. We are suppose to love and protect and even consider others above ourselves. I believe when we fought to end slavery, those actions taken to end slavery were Christian. The actions to integrate society through schools and public buildings was Christian. But when did it all start to go so wrong. We celebrate a President that lied under oath and consider him to be good. He was adulterous multiple times but you do not hear any accusations against him, because he was a liberal champion. A conservative leaning individual will be destroyed over the same type of behavior. A former President that wanted all legislation to be considered on the basis of how it affected the family is considered by liberals to have done nothing good. Our President goes to other countries and lectures them on same sex marriage. Considering all this, I'd have to say we are a Godless, sinful nation that needs to repent. We are suppose to support one another and build up, even when people disagree with us. Consider the words in Romans chapter 14, where we are to watch out for our weaker brethren and not destroy them because we disagree. There are many non essentials of the faith were there can be diversity. There must be unity on the essentials, but tolerance and understanding on non essential issues. Probably one of the most essential beliefs is stated in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." This is where a christian nation starts, by believing on Jesus and accepting him as Savior and Lord. Obeying and supporting his word, the Bible. Living by his word to the best of our knowledge and ability. The day we except Jesus as Lord and Savior is just the beginning of a new life. It is a starting point that continues though out our life. O that we could become a Christian nation again. God bless, LVZ,
