The evidence is that the "verses" are addressed to Israel. This included the lost sheep (ten tribes) and judeah. The english speaking countries are the fulfillment of the promise to Ephriam and mannesseth (part of the lost sheep).
Devine intervention in the creation of america is rather obvious to those "with eyes to see" and our history is full of God's blessing until the 1960's when prayer was banned, then 74 and abortion legal. Since that time america has been lead away from the keeping of the Lords commanments year by year.
I am sorry, this is evidence of a SICKNESS that should be stopped, right here.
THIS kind of thinking has led to more devastation, desturction and Human misery than anything else...ALL BECAUSE OF THIS SO -CALLED 'religion'.
"CHRISTIANITY" is not the "end-all and be all" of Human endeavors.
IT IS A CULT...no more "true", and no more "false" than any other religious cult that has pervaded (and ruined) Humanity since Humans began to think....
BECAUSE...it is ALL MADE UP IN THE IMAGINATION!!!!!
Parables = good stuff. So are "Aesop's Fables"....
Bible = more 'parables'...translated, and re-translated and re-re-translated...OVER and OVER again....
Bible = ALSO....ancient "folklore"...passed down from generation to generation orally, before writing was invented...and I mean, a form of WRITING that everyone EVERYONE could read....
...UNTIL that time,, the "truth" (so-called) existed only in the minds of those who professed to 'know'.....
Hmmmmm....sound familiar????
ALL OF IT is baloney...made up, just as (I assume you of the "christian faith") will say about the Aztecs, the Egyptians, the Buddhists, the Muslims....NAME 'any religion du jour', and you can make the same argument.
Christianity has done MORE HARM to Humanity, by far, than any other 'made-up' stupid concept of imaginary 'gods'....I mean, is it a "trinity" (as Catholics believe) or just 'jesus' (as pick-a-faith believe) or what???
Lutheran? "Roman Catholic" as opposed to what? "Normal Catholic"?
It goes on and on and on...just how many are there, by now??? CAN someone look it up, and count HOW MANY SECTS of the 'christian' chruch currently exist???
I can drive through just about any neighborhood in America, and see, ON OPPOSITE CORNERS, and just down the street from each other, "Christ" this, or "christ" that.... It's like going to Wal-Mart, for the "Religion-sect of the day special!!!"
AND (this is what grinds my gears...) people FIGHT over it!!!! (Witness the "protestant/catholic" ongoing battles in Northern Ireland)
It all makes me sick!!!!
This entire thread's premise IGNORES the vast majority of the World's population...who, in many respects, ALSO subscribe to an equally stupid concept of "deity worship"...but, to each their own....
UNTIL "each" of them wish to impose their particular mindset and twisted view on others....lines have to be drawn, at that point.
