Not sure if anyone who answered my question will read this but nevertheless-
First of all, when I say back in the day I am not referring to slavery, the Salem witch trials, killing of Indians, etc. My parents and other older people that I hear say this weren’t alive during that time; therefore, their back in the day would not be referencing those things.
I understand that there haven’t been any new sins created, but in the past, immoral behavior wasn’t as widely accepted and flaunted. But it seems that now it is. I believe that it has to do with the American people straying away from Christian morals and values.
And about the statistics related to criminals. True Christians are those that accept, believe, and obey God’s Word, not those that are “Christians” by tradition or association.
The last time I checked, murder, rape, stealing, lying, etc. where not commandments in the Bible.
I don’t know where you all live, but in my city, our violent crime rate is up, and most of the offenders are children and young adults. I believe that it has a lot to do with how immoral our society has become, and how people have disregarded God’s teachings regarding proper behavior. If the crime rate where you stay is low-Go You!! But that just isn’t my story.
