Obama has brought gay marriage upon our military and abhorred Holy Matrimony by opposing DOMA. He has favored terrorists and terrorist nations and forced contraception and sterilizations to be paid by Catholics.

A girl as young as 12 can sign up NOW, in her school, for sterilization, be transported and get it done (permanently) without her parents knowledge.

If we do not repent in a hurry, as a nation, the United States days are numbered.

I see Christians in the US treated almost as badly as Protestants were in 16th and 17th centuries Europe..... And I expect it to get worse, even if Romney is elected. The Left won’t take losing lightly.

On one hand, Judgment would be taken out upon all, like a cosmic steamroller rolling over everything in its path, and even the young and innocent would "pay" for the sinful choices of their elders and other souls who have or will have brought Judgment down upon us.

On the other hand, if we have corrupted things to the point where we have brought Judgment, then the world/society we've created has become the threat to the innocent that it must be cleansed to prevent further infection.

I pray for God to change the hearts and minds of us all and put us to work cleaning things up and spare us from the mass cleansing we seem destined for.

Judgment seems to function like gravity, where once something is set into motion, it continues until it's action is spent and equilibrium is again achieved.

But what do I know? I am late to the spiritual party and don't have the education many have. I'm just another one of the lost or confused trying to figure it out as I go.

If we are our brothers' keeper, then I guess we are responsible for letting our brothers go so far astray and so Judgment comes for us all.

A very important element of God’s judgment is to distinguish between active and passive punishment. Everything from the Ten Commandments to laws, statutes, and judgments should be examined in this light.

For example, if a parent tells their child not to touch a hot stove, if the child does so and burns their hand, it is not the parent who has punished them. And there is no anger in the stove, so it does not punish them, either. It is just an inherent hazard. However, if their parent gives them a spanking for their disobedience in harming themselves by touching the stove, they are punished *twice*.

It is a thoughtful exercise to examine the rules given to man in this light. For many of them, obviously or not, are to warn us of inherent hazards. If we behave like a disobedient child, we get burned, one way or another.

So the question becomes does God actively punish for a particular transgression, or does God punish for a multitude of transgressions; or has God just given us good advice to obey (most of the time), and if we disobey we harm or even destroy ourselves?

I would avoid assuming absolutes with this, because several times in the Bible, there was one action by men or mankind that most certainly brought about divine intervention and wrath.

This was when men or mankind tried to overthrow God, to declare themselves God’s equals, and/or to assume that they were the predominant force in the world.

Ironically, the most modern effort at this is socialism, the rejection of God and the creation of a pseudo-religion that puts mankind at the center of things.

If anything should invite heavenly wrath, it is this.

This Country has legalized the killing of ONE THOUSAND BABIES .....every single day.....for a third of a century. If God was going to punish US, he would have it already. He is just letting us reap what we sow.....DEATH.

Many Christians who are well-versed in Scripture, believe that “climate change” is indeed anthropomorphic (caused by man’s activity). In many accounts, God, the Maker of Heaven and Earth, caused massive floods and killing droughts because of the evil activities of human beings.

This isn’t the cause that is currently so fashionable, of course, but looking at society today, it doesn’t look that much different than Sodom and Gomorrah, and we all know what happened to those wicked places under God’s judgment.
