(09/12/2013) God Bless America?

    The accusation that GOD only blesses America is examined, today; and there is more on why GOD does not “tell all.”  A “Yahoo! Answers” writer using the ID “Johnny Three Tears” (Level 5 with 5,016 points, a member since March 27, 2012) posted the following:



Why does God only bless the United States?


If its the one true religion why is it that only the U.S. embraces it.



THE BATTLE AXE:  Why Does GOD Not Tell All (09/11/2013)—(5)  Dominated by sin and flesh (i.e., appetite, sensation, emotions and mental phenomena), created beings and living creatures do not correctly process sacred knowledge.  As with small children, their cooperation is often best secured through demonstration, direct action, and silence.  Repeatedly, when given information from GOD, the living have become overwhelmed by anger, bitterness, doubt, fear, self-examination, and uncertainty.  Animal and human intelligence are organized to fix upon differences, traits, and similarities among objects of focus.  Secular knowledge therefore centers in applying standards, calculating measures, and imitating or reproducing things created by GOD.  Facts and items that excite attention and appeal are categorized, grouped and inter-mixed as recurring patterns.  However, divine truth is being imparted to mankind that requires spiritual discernment, the use of divine substance to recognize and operate using only other material that possesses divine content.  For this reason we say, a person “must be born again.”  There must be change and transformation at every level of a person’s life process.  Included are imagination, inquiry, handling newness, recall, and experiences of ongoing thought.



THE GOLDEN ARROW:  As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.  And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?  And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived:  for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near:  go ye not therefore after them.  But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified:  for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.  Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:  And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.  But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.  And it shall turn to you for a testimony.  Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:  For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.  (Luke 21:  6-15, KJV)

     Johnny, here are a few points shared among Christian believers that help us to recognize the righteousness of GOD as he operates, and uses various nations:


(1.)  GOD is a spirit, and must maintain relationship with created beings and living creatures through the spirit substance that makes up and establishes divine person as well as by using tools that respond to the finite frameworks of flesh, such as time and space.  Included among the inseparable aspects of divinity are faith, holiness, humility, joy, longsuffering, love, wisdom and wrath against sin.


(2.)  The many people around the world voicing anger, bitterness, covetousness, envy, fear, and hatred of the United States are not operating under the influence of their own divine content that was bestowed upon them by GOD.  They are moved by sin.


(3.)  The divine law states that to whom much is given, from him much will be required.  Where GOD blesses a nation (or a single individual) they are anointed and endowed to serve, and share with others.  They are stewards in the divine household; and what they appear to have is temporarily under their hand as if loaned to them by GOD. 


(4.)  Among believers, it is not required that every member have the same gifts and talents.  That a blessing is present with one, makes the blessing available and present for all.  Also, the tide lifts all ships; both the great and the small benefit as GOD blesses any one ship upon the sea.  Infidels, outsiders and unbelievers attack the people of GOD at every opportunity displaying hate, resentment and unbelief because they cannot comprehend of themselves, as mortals who must die, mankind may possess nothing.  GOD is sovereign; the earth is the Lord’s (Psalms 24:  1, KJV).


     There is far more to be said, correctly applied, and spiritually understood.  For example, (5.)  Many Americans now reject the notion that the U. S. must serve as “leader of the Free World.”  America did not take up that mantle through a democratic election.  It was bestowed by grateful nations offering their encouragements and respect; and was won through the execution of difficult duties—things that absolutely had to be done (like it, don’t like it) despite the cost and losses encountered.  While America can name no successor among other nation states (Canada? China? Mexico? Russia? Syria? Venezuela?), presently, many Americans want to resign from the leadership role—or at least have a moratorium or sabbatical from the role of fifteen to twenty years.  Certainly, others would be placed under duress, yet present domestic needs of the American people appear to justify an isolationist attitude.)  Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful.  Be it unto you according to your faith.
