The USA. The Constitution. The Bill of Rights

The same institutions the permit the murder of millions of unborn children and are now the guarantors of deviant sexual practices. There will be a time when the United States will be no more. You do realize that, don't you? And it won't have anything to do with end times prophecy either. It's something a lot of protestants haven't given a lot of thought.

Show me the most highly Catholic countries in this world and I'll show you some of the most impoverished third world hell holes.

I wasn't aware that material wealth was an indication of spiritual health.

Show me Protestantism in Northern Europe and GB and I'll show you the Empire that the sun never set on.

Not anymore. I don't know how old you are, but when I consider that I'll be on this planet for probably the next 50-65 years (give or take) I'm not all that impressed with what Europe or the United States has to offer. I suspect I'll be witnessing a different order during my lifetime.

I'll show you scientific advancement and the freest nations. I'll show you the nations which defeated the Nazi's.

So what? The Nazi's are gone and I've got a couple of iPads. Means nothing to me.

One could be forgiven for thinking that protestants do worship the United States and not Christ. Just highlights the secular nature of protestantism.

Why don't the 1.2+ BILLION Catholics in the world do a better job then? Y'all like to boast of how many Catholics exist today and how few, in comparison there are of "Protestants", so why blame all Protestants for the problems in the U.S. when the U.S.A. has only been existence for less than three centuries and the Reformation happened FIVE centuries ago? No, the tenets the Reformers stood for in no way can be blamed for the relative moral climate we see today. Those who stay faithful to the rule of the Christian faith found in sacred Scripture will never use their freedom in Christ as an excuse for sin.

There IS much in Scripture about the condition of the world in the end times and recognizing them as Jesus said we should makes us MORE aware of how little time we have to win souls to Christ, And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. (Luke 21:28).

ALL genuine Christians should be proclaiming the Gospel of the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ until we die or He comes back to bring us home. One day, this world will be no more and God will create a NEW heaven and earth wherein righteousness dwells - for eternity.
