"No ... God doesn'...Can God Bless America?<br />"No ... God doesn't bless a nation as if a nation collectively has some privilege. There was only one nation, one race of people ever chosen by God and that is the nation Israel and I think everybody remembers pretty well their history that God didn't even bless that nation unless those people who made up that nation were faithful to Him. And the nation never really was so God blessed those who were faithful to Him within the nation. The nation itself was under a curse; punishment, severe punishment that has lasted thousands of years and is still going on today. No. To say "God bless America" may be a nice sentiment but God cannot bless anyone who is not Christ's. The only way God can bless anyone is when they come to Him through Jesus Christ. Divine blessing is attached to faith in Christ. ... [Speaking of his message, "A Nation Abandoned by God" ] I'll tell you this, I'm talking about America. I think America — I can show you biblically — has been abandoned by God." — Pastor John MacArthur — "Grace to You" broadcast June 24 '09Pablohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08760152641139794546noreply@blogger.com
