Might also help if you looked at the New Covenant, which Scripture has declared a better covenant than the Old, with which God found fault (Heb 8:6-8).

The New Covenant declares that because of the perfect sacrifice of Jesus on the cross "for the sins for the whole world" (1 John 2:2), "their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more" (Heb 8:12, 10:17).

It would also help to remember that even in the Old Testament, God would not judge Sodom until AFTER ONE MAN, righteous Lot, was no longer there. I think there's many more righteous per capita in America than there was in Sodom.

[Yosemitest]

You need to read again:

" Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
THINK NOT that I am come to DESTROY THE LAW,
or the prophets:
I am NOT COME TO DESTROY,
but to fulfil .
For verily I say unto you,
Till heaven and earth PASS,
one jot or one tittle SHALL IN NO WISE PASS FROM THE LAW,
till ALL be fulfilled.
Whosoever therefore shall BREAK ONE OF THE LEAST COMMANDMENTS,
and SHALL TEACH MEN SO,
he shall be called THE LEAST in the kingdom of heaven:
but WHOSOEVER SHALL DO AND TEACH THEM,
the same shall be called GREAT in the kingdom of heaven. "
