As individuals, we are all imperfect. As a nation, we have freed many people across the globe. We've re-built other nations with our own blood, sweat, and tears. This nation has done more than any other in history to help other countries and other people.
This is the greatest country in the world. Americans are (for the most part) the most generous people in the world. Whenever there is a disaster, which country is usually the first on the scene to help? We spend billions of dollars in foreign aid all over the world. American doctors, nurses, teachers, and many others donate their time and skills to help those in need.
I can't repent for the sins some Americans made long before my ancestors and the ancestors of many of us ever landed on this blessed soil. All I can do is my best in the here and now.
No, Mary. The sins of Americans who were long dead before my ancestors even came here do not fall upon me.
Yes, they do fall on us. Our nation really IS cursed because of the sins of our country, past and present. There are enough sins now to keep us praying for eternity. Our country is the best one in the world. I love America and have been blessed by living here. But spiritually we have almost literally turned our backs on God. Look at our Congress. Look at our schools. Look at a lot of our churches who are little but social clubs. We have MUCH to repent for. There are generational curses that come down through family lines just as there are generational curses that come down our dear country’s history.
