The Biblical position (and the one I believe) is that any people who decide to live by the covenant that God has offered can be blessed. Those who don't will be cursed (their quality of life will diminish). The choice is ours.
"I call heaven and earth....therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live..."
(Deuteronomy 30:19)
This passage is in regard to the choice of the entire people of Israel to follow God. It starts in chapter 29 where God points out that the nation must not serve other gods or it will be cursed. It seems like a good match to the condition that our country is in. However, our country has never served Christ in any official capacity. Shouldn't we be cursed already? Shouldn't Christians be fighting to put this country lock, stock and barrel in subservience to Christ? Shouldn't we be removing those other gods from the public square?
This truth is also echoed in the parable of the marriage supper:
"The kingdom of heaven... But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: ...cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen."
(Matthew 22:2-14)
Does this not also apply to our founding fathers who made light of God by purposely legislating that other religions should be allowed to flourish in this nation? Have we been accumulating 233 years of God's wrath by not standing against this spread of false religion within our own country?
Back to the question at hand.
God deals with each of us individually, but He also deals with us on a national level. God does not respect the boundaries of nations. He sets them.
Every person is in a covenant with someone. Your actions decide what covenant you are in. There is no neutral. You serve the God of your actions. No exceptions.
So our country has been against God from the beginning by the action of assisting and encouraging other religions.
Similarly, if a nation obeys God, blessings also come upon the nation. This is why the United States has been so blessed; Because it has been obedient and lived according to Biblical law. (Most English common law comes from the Bible.)
This has changed in recent decades and now we are on the brink of economic collapse. Obedience to God brings a better quality of life, generally speaking.
God deals with us both individually and as a nation.
However, He has not dealt with us yet even though our nation has been a breeding ground for false religions since before its foundation. God has not been honored by our laws. The founding document for this nation expressed their disdain for God by making room for Buddhists, Muslims and Satanists. How can you say our country was ever a Christian nation when its most honored documents set aside Christ?
Most puzzling, though, is the fact that you don't demand a change. Do you not care that the altars of other religions stand in the high places of our country?
