We need to come back to God

Published May 03. 2019 02:37PM

Hmmm, I couldn’t have said it better myself! Thank you to Mr. Walter Camier of Weatherly for his letter about Notre Dame!

Our dear USA, AND the world, need to come back to God. It isn’t only the total corruption of our own government and its people, but, of the rest of the world, also.

I’ve been afraid for our grand nation for many a year, and it just keeps getting worse, and our churches are failing and falling — they don’t even seem to preach and try to talk to the people about coming back to God, nor do they try to spread the word that our government leaders need to come back to God and use prayer before all their meetings and discussions about laws and our Constitution and everything that was set up right for us way back in the beginning by our forefathers who were true Christians and God-fearing men of wisdom, and now, we have presidential wannabes trying to tear it all apart.

I can’t imagine the horror and turmoil that could be put upon us for our very awful disobedience!

I DO remember the punishments meted out upon the people in those long, long-ago days and times of the Bible, when the people left God.

Four hundred years of slavery in Egypt, fire and brimstone raining down upon Sodom and Gomorrah, and the terrible slaying of the firstborn during passover, can you imagine that? Oh, there were more, many more, punishments; I’ll not go into them all.

I truly fear whatever it will be, for our God is very loving, kind and patient, however, his punishment is most terrible.

We, America and the world, need to come back to God.

What more can I say? I love God, I believe in God, and our USA, and yes, families, they are the cornerstone and backbone of our nation, and even they are falling apart.

May God help us all,

Nice letter Ruthann. America was established with a foundation toward God. Things have seemingly gotten off track. Just when things seem bad, something comes along to renew one’s faith. Your letter is such a thing. Seek out other things to reinforce your belief system.Keep doing the right thing. Be stronger in the face of adversity. Naysayers like Joe and others are wrong. America is the greatest country in the world. Keep up the faith. MAGA!
This is crazy Joe. Although you are right that “the country is a (sp) better place now.” Due to President Trump. God was a foundation from Colonial times up until and including modern times in America. Are you assigning blame to America for all slavery from the beginning of time? You should have a better understanding of America, especially if you are a “genius”. You display tremendous gaps in knowledge and understanding. You wrongfully assign the modern MAGA slogan to events 300 years ago.


Come on Joe. Don’t act like an ignorant child. Read up a bit. MAGA! Rid yourself of hatred. I saw a T-Rex with a MAGA hat on once. The Paleolithic Age is where MAGA began.
Look up the National Monument to the Forefathers, in Plymouth Mass.
But history has been changed and presented in a not so truthful way, so I get your confusion Joe. God was in the creation, and I believe God was in the new land. This nation didn't just happen on it's own.
The “Peculiar Institution” of slavery was eliminated during The Civil War. Slavery, as you might know Joe, was not exclusively an American item. Slavery started in ancient times. By today’s standards, of course slavery is wrong. In Colonial America our great forefathers sought, against great adversity, to lay inroads toward the elimination of slavery. You can not judge our forefathers by the standards of today. That is ignorance Joe. America eliminated slavery when the timing was right. You are willfully ignorant of things you don’t want to hear or understand. You should be smarter than that...especially if you are the “genius” you proclaim to be. Thomas Jefferson wrote The Declaration of Independence, a bold step forward in Colonial times. You can not degrade the whole of America for the mistakes of one individual who gave invaluable contributions otherwise. You criticized Meyers when he highlighted a Democrat’s failings. You stated you can not hold all Democrats responsible for the misdeeds of one. Now, you are doing the same thing. America is a great country. America is a bastion of freedom that saved the world over and over again. Of course, America is not perfect. The only foreign land America has is that to bury our dead. America eliminated slavery as soon as it could. Please don’t be ignorant Joe. You must study history in the context of the time in which events occurred. You display tremendous gaps of knowledge. MAGA!
This is a fine line Joe. I am reading a book now called The Peculiar Institution by Kenneth M. Stampp. Slavery was never officially ok by the leading religious sects. However, slavery was commonplace for centuries and conveniently ignored. My guess is that slavery was viewed as too difficult to solve, and, therefore overlooked. In America in the 1830’s the South (pro-slavery) was beginning to experience resistance from the North about the continuation of slavery. The agrarian labor intensive South needed to justify their use of slavery. As America expanded, compromise was the order of the day, as the Kansas-Nebraska Act. At some point Southerners developed a theory that gave credit to the Bible for the sanctity of slavery. Of course, by today’s standards that is wrong. In antebellum days that was commonplace. Apparently, slavery was readily accepted in society, and, given acceptance by some religious sects. The Civil War removed this stigma from America. My ancestors fought to remove slavery from America. America is better today for many reasons. One of the greatest reasons is our abolition of slavery as soon as it was possible. America is also better because Trump is President. Trump is the Lincoln of this generation. MAGA!
Joe,
My America came about through the Puritans, at Plymouth. Your question is intended to lead one to Jamestown. God didn't appear to bless that settlement though. Elizabeth Warren got her fame there however. ha ha ha
