How our nation has suffered

This subject is a wide open subject about how our nation has suffered by not following biblical principles found in the Bible.  Let’s look at one that comes to mind.  Way before our nation had it first income tax, families took care of each other and did not have to depend on the government because they made a good living off the farm. 

As outside influence came upon the families (Satan), many saw the golden altar in the cities and lured them to become part of the cities and leave the older generation on the farm.  This influence broke up families, homes and the closeness of the kids with their parents.  This brought the kids to not feel like they have to support their parents in anyway.  Individuals never learn from history. 

This also happen during the life of our Lord and Savior, Jesus.  If you remember the example of Corban that Jesus uses with the Pharisees about their parents is one example of the above.  Jesus said they destroyed the Word of God because of Corban.  This is an interesting study into the Scriptures if you have the time.

Because Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and 'Whoever curses his father or mother must certainly be put to death.' But you say, 'If anyone tells his father or mother, "Whatever support you might have received from me is Corban," (that is, an offering to God) 'you no longer let him do anything for his father or mother.' You are destroying the word of God through your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many other things like that." (Mark 7:10-13 ISV)
