God and America

Oh yah! and don't forget when Israel, because she was following after other 'gods'/philosophies of the day, had the resulting unwanted babes, and sacrificed them to those gods / philosophies, it was the last straw with God! This, is the real reason why the abortion business is so sacred to so many modern people. And this to me is the biggest reason America is floundering.

If the United States of America was built on Christian principles, we'd still be British colonies. Romans 13:1-2: Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. The very act of rebelling against Britain was a rejection of Christian principles. From the Declaration of Independence: That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. The Declaration codifies this rejection of Christian principles in expressly asserting that governments derive "their just powers from the consent of the governed," and not because "The authorities that exist have been established by God." It codifies this rejection of Christian principles again by asserting "whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness" in open defiance of the Biblical claim "whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted."

The United States was not built on Christian principles. It was founded as a sectarian state. There is one founding document, the Constitution and it contains provisions to protect against the establishment of religious tests.

Hi bestboy, There are nearly 40,000 denominations within Christianity, so who decides what Christian principles mean? Nearly all the early colonist came to America from Christian countries, many looking for religious freedom. Unfortunately, as soon as they were established, they started to persecute those who believed differently from them - the very thing that they tried to get away from. Why do you think that God is concerned about the United States turning away from him? Surely, America is no different from any other country. God, my friend is no respecter of persons, or countries for that matter. Blessings.

America was not built on Christian principles, but on the principles of Deism.

it's just a matter of time. prayers and bible are not welcome anymore in public schools.

They started with noble objectives but instead of becoming more godly and building in that direction somehow went astray. What results can we expect?
