To: El Cid
If HE wants to expedite the destruction of our Nation because of past and present sins of a people that have turned away from HIM - then we'll get the leaders we deserve. People like the current occupants of the White House and Congress. If the people repent, HE'll also give us the leaders we deserve - leaders that fear God.

NEWS FLASH

The united States is not Old Testament Israel. Everything you just said above is blasphemy.

I disagree and believe we do get the “leaders” we deserve. You think God is happy with the United States of America?

I've kind of got to agree with El Cid when it comes to the blessing and curses in the Old Testament Law, of course that is assuming that is what El Cid is referring too.

please explain how you see El Cid statement as blasphemy, are you saying the Old Testament Law is only valid for the Old Testament Israel

For the record I don't want to take up the position that God is cursing or blessing United States at the moment. El Cid though does make a assumption that I'm not sure I would totally consent to and that is that America is being cursed, am I correct El Cid.

Blasphemy:
1) impious utterance or action concerning god or sacred things.
2) an act of cursing or reviling God.
3) the crime of assuming to oneself the rights or qualities of God.
4) irreverent behavior toward anything held sacred, priceless, etc.: He uttered blasphemies against life itself.

Can you expand as to what in Post 30 you consider "Blasphemy"?

The united States is not Old Testament Israel.

True...
What is your point?
Are you saying the Old Testament has been rendered nonexistent by the New Testament?
Or does the Old Testament only apply to Israel? ... Except for the Book of Job ... That only applies to Job?

Was the Shepherd referenced in Psalm 23 - only David's Shepherd, and not ours? When David wrote in Psalm 29 that the LORD is my Light and my Salvation -- was this applicable only to David? I suppose he did use the word "my" a lot...

Why did the Apostles reference Old Testament scripture?

When the Lord Jesus Christ was said to have said in Hebrews 10, "in the volume of the book it is written of me...", was it "fair" for HIM to have referenced the "book" (the Old Testament) ... since this book applies only to Israel?
