“I am arguing that America, as a nation, has abandoned God and His principles.”
And I’m saying I don’t agree with you. Yes some people have left God but the majority have not. Remember the reason they are protesting is because a majority of people voted for this.
They want to instill fear in God’s children. My God is greater than the gays and Obama put together.
I understand God is greater than he who is in the world. I also understand God’s wrath and judgment and I don’t deny America deserves it.
John McArthur has a interesting article from last year and things have only gotten worse.
“Now let me break that down for you a little bit. Three times the verb “gave them over” is used...three times. The wrath of abandonment is when God gives a nation over. This verb, paradidomi, can have a judicial sense. It’s used often in Greek literature in terms of law courts and criminal courts. It comes down to handing a prisoner over for punishment. It’s even used in the case of Jesus being handed over for a crucifixion. Each of these uses of the verb in this text express the fact that the wrath of God has acted to hand over a society to sentence...to hand them over. As the historian Schiller(?) said, years ago, “The history of the world is the judgment of the world.” There comes a time in a nation when God has had enough and He literally lets go and turns them over to the sentence that they have passed upon themselves by their incessant sinful choices. To see it another way, they are deprived of restraining grace.”
