Where is this passage found, and, what happened immediately after this was stated? Anyone know?

_______ 6:11 Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was filled with violence.

Reasons America is under judgment:

1. Abortion

2. Homosexuality

3. Democrat Party explicitly rejected God and thereby pledged itself to Satan at its 2012 national convention.

The only problem is it didn’t work. And now the wicked use the rainbow as a sign to throw back in God’s face, like telling Him He can’t do anything to them.

God visited earth with His wrath.

So few fear God any more.

I was watching on t.v. when they booed the mention of the name of God three times in succession.

Especially all the apostate churches who mock God and are disobedient to Him and show they are not of Christ.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments.” I John 5:3

From Genesis:
6:11] Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence.
[6:12] And God saw that the earth was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon the earth.
[6:13] And God said to Noah, “I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence because of them; now I am going to destroy them along with the earth.

Then He told Noah to build the ark.

Glory and praise to God . I have an opinion on this but , at the same time realize that I being a sinner who seeks Gods grace daily in every aspect of this beautiful life need to tread lightly (but I don’t.) I see and hear of the horrible situations that occur and I truly hurt and have sincere empathy . With that said I also see the beauty and brilliance of Gods creation and it allows me to plow through all of it and if I feel myself slipping and becoming bothered I (usually) turn it over to God as he knows where my path is . After doing so I garner the peace derived only from his love which was made accessible only by the ultimate sacrifice his son and my saviour Jesus Christ made . I do have very extreme positions on vicious persons and those that follow say “islam” and I place them within the group whom satan controls and derives pleasure with the chaos they create . I am at peace and am humbled by his love he gives freely to me .

THank you for posting this --- really, realy worthwhile. I very rarely listen to videos (partly because I have a hearing disability, and partly because I have little toleration for nonsense) --- but this one was very nourishing to the soul. God bless this holy priest.

And I have a new tagline from it.
