God will punish America because she tends to party a bit too hard, has gay marriages and single moms.
But the rest of us well we will be totally ignored.
The Balkans God cant be bothered to punish anyone not worthy of him.
Africa genocidel wars being carried out by bloodthirsty war lords, over mineral and gold and diamond rights, not worthy of Gods interest.
China, North Korea running some of the worst concentration camps this side of the 21st Century, God just says nothing to do with me.
No only America is worthy of punishment.

Straighten up and fly right, or I'll smash even more of your innocent children against the side of a skyscraper?
Yes, that is the message. And it's exactly true. God wasn't asleep on September 11. The tragedy happened with his permission. We should be grateful that God's mercy limited the casualties to less than five percent of those in the buildings, but we should not be complacent about his judgement.
For eight years, we tolerated the most evil man who has ever sat in the Oval Office, and our country gave him an approval rating of seventy percent in the midst of his greatest scandal. While we congratulated ourselves for flouting God's will and getting away with it, that same President degraded the CIA, the FBI, and the US military.
On the morning of September 11, the CIA did not warn us, the FBI did not prevent the terrorism, and our military did not even protect its own headquarters from destruction.
It's pretty cut and dried to me. We embraced an evil man as our leader, and the policies of that evil man led to the destruction on September 11.
If you don't think there's a logical correlation here, then let's elect Hillary Roddam Clinton as President, and see whether there will be any hell to pay for that.
NOONE can say that we haven't been warned!!! It's how we react to the warnings. Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson and Mother Theresa ALL said it( Mother Theresa said NUCLEAR WAR wuld be our punishment...I think).......THIS is our punishment for ABORTIONS.....God IS giving us a chane to turn to him...what we do about that, is up to us.
Men chose to do this, and to do it in the name of a God I sure as heck don't recognize.
God gave us an infinitely free will. He also is infinitely merciful. Life is answering the essay question God lays out for us regarding these two.
As for people like yourself who are not a Christian, I pray that you will receive Jesus Christ as Your personal Savior and Lord. (I will be praying for you today). I was just like you at one time thought I had all figured out but had a true "emptiness" inside of me about life. Then a friend of mine shared with me how I could have a personal relationship with God. Let me know if would like to find out and I will post how you can know for sure that you are going to heaven and live forever. It is a very reasuring feeling when you know when you die (and there is a 100% chance you will someday) that you know where you will go.
Problem number 1--These messangers make application to the United States of America prophecies that were given to Israel. For this to be so, the assumption has to be Israel=USA
Probelm number 2--I do agree that the establishment clause was not intended to erect a wall of separation between church and state, however the USA is a secular, pluralistic state with constitutional guarantees of the free exercise of religion. These messangers base their messages on the idea that the USA is christian nation. We are not. The USA does not equal the church. The USA does not equal the people of God. I can agree that the people of God living in the USA, that is believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, are ripe for God's judgement. But God would be unjust to rain his correcting judgement on people who have no relationship with Him.
Just some thoughts. I would love to hear your responses.
Yes, that is the message. And it's exactly true.
You suffer from the same mental sickness that inspired Mohamed Atta and his merry band of zealots to perpetrate the crime to begin with.
I know you said you are glad you are not a Christian but I pray that you do become one and know that "peace that transcends all understanding" and where you will go when you die someday.
No doubt. Much like the reassuring feeling when you know 70 virgins will be waiting for you right after you smack that 757 into the tower.
Religious certainties are so comforting.
They are the easiest predicitons to make...
Don't you also agree that throughout God's Word that God judges nations as a whole?
By the way what denomination is your church?
Cause and effect comes to mind here.
