Should God still Bless America?
God Bless America?
Now today is July 5th and I heard for the last few days God Bless America, that has really made me think do we deserve that? I really do think he has in for over 2 centuries, but I don't see why we deserve and more blessing.
We have been blessed for over 2 centuries with many blessings for the longest running republic in the history of the world, a prosperous nation, defender of freedom, leader of the free world and many unmentioned blessings. But over the last approx 80 years, I estimate off The New Deal by FDR, as our turning point from a blessed nation to a nation that thinks we are above God.
We have murdered millions of His children, made many dependent on the government instead of their own self worth, turned away from His definition of marriage, removed Him from schools, courts, public and our society. A child can't say a private prayer in school anymore, a Bible can't be read on the street of America, a speech can't be given with reference to God in it at a graduation and morally right (Ten Commandments) can't be hung in public, and crosses removed from soldiers graves, war memorials and anywhere an Atheist sees unfit.
After all these listed atrocities of Gods commandments do we as a country deserve his blessing? I think we don't until as a country we have a revival of turning back to God in this country.
If anyone has read the The Danbury Letters, that were written by the Danbury Baptist to Thomas Jefferson, they would scratch their head on how the Supreme Court of the United States of America got it so wrong. The first thing is why did the SCOTUS make a decision on letters the were written privately from a social group to the president? Why would that letter hold such relevance in a court of Law? Did the Court understand the history of the first Amendment? Who wrote it? And quit frankly who didn't write it? And probably what seems most problematic to me is after reading that letter how did they come to the conclusion they did?
Emerson v. Board of Education in 1947 was where the SCOTUS decided the on "separation of church of state" based on the Danbury Letters. It was momentous due to the fact the it was the first time the SCOTUS decided a case of Constitutional implications without using the Constitution of the United States of America. If anyone has read the Danbury letters, please search it to read, they will quickly understand the SCOTUS in fact vastly misunderstood the meaning of those letters, whether deliberately or ineptly, they got it flat wrong.
On the case of deciding why that President Thomas Jefferson was so important in that land mark decision is baffling. President Jefferson had many implications on On our founding as a country, from being on the committee of five and the drafter of the Declaration of Independence being the most notable, but he absolutely had no implication on the First Amendment, Mr Jefferson was not even in the United States at the time the First Amendment was written, he was our ambassador to France and was there during the writing and ratification of the Bill of Rights.
So to ask God so clearly but cliche to Bless America I am confused on why He would do such a thing? Does nobody read the Old Testament and what He did to His lost but beloved people? The people that ask for Gods Blessing are usually the ones who condemn God every other day of the week.

The intolerance of the people who scream about tolerance is so hypocritical it is astounding. If as Christians we are talking about traditional biblical values, pro-life, against same sex marriage we are called intolerant, uncaring and haters. Anyone with any true biblical knowledge knows that Christianity is about faith, love and hope at the basics. When we speak out against these sins we are not judging but following what scripture says (Romans 1: 24-27) nothing more.
We are to hate the sin but love the sinner. I have made friends from many walks of life, we have all sinned, we are all sinners at our core. The difference in Christianity is salvation and learning to get away from sin, not to say we won't make mistakes but we are to help others, this is seen as intolerance.
I have become good friends with people of same sex attraction, good people just doesn't mean we have to accept their world view.
And those on the left want my tolerance of their life style while they are intolerant of mine. There is no tolerance of sin on judgement day, the only thing that will matter is the acceptance of Jesus as your Lord and Savior no matter the sin you did, cursing, lying, stealing, covetous, adultery or homosexual relations.
The left doesn't want to hear it so they call us intolerant of saying what has been written for over 2000years. They want Christians and the world to accept their sin as ok and if we don't they call us intolerant. If we pray quietly in a school, sidewalk, park or any public place they arrest us for doing so. They have shut down valedictorians microphones during speeches for mention God, they have pulled scholarships, suspended children from schools for quiet prayers, arrested pastors for reading the Bible quietly in public. This shows how tolerant of my beliefs they are.
