Ask yourself this CSM. What is it that makes a country what it is? I say it is the people. And who are “the people”? They are individuals. You, me, nancy pelosi, Ted Cruz,
I can't remember the particular situation in the Bible, I think it was Sodom and Gomorrah ..where (was it Lot?) asks God if he will spare the city if (I don't remember the countdown’ but it went like this) 10 righteous people were found and God says He would, then it goes to 9 people, 8 people, you get the picture.
The thing is, God takes care of His own, no matter what. There is no “We are not deserving”. As individuals, we can pray, and that will be enough.
I do not believe in collective guilt. Lot was not responsible for Sodom or Gomorrah, he just happened to live there.
I agree with you and did not intend to indicate a belief in collective guilt for individuals. However, there is something to be said as to the blessings bestowed upon America as a nation that has benefitted generations of individuals.
I am fearing that our nation is being governed by the minority that is actively working against God and as a result we will pay a price. I know that individuals are responsible for their own lives and they are accountable individually to God. However, there is something to be said for the blessings bestowed upon a nation.
Remember, even the Isrealites were subjected to wandering the desert for 40 years. Which would have ensured the passing of generations before they were blessed with the promised land.
I am certainly no biblical scholar. I am just expressing some sad thoughts.....
