No, because despite all sin here we have not ALL turned our backs on God.
Jesus told a parable about some harvestors who were instructed not to pull up the weeds in the field because otherwise the good crops would come with them. We are being spared because there is good here.

Some evangelical Christian teachers say, using the bible, that the 1st world, the world that was (the gap theory), and the 2nd world were judged, (sentenced by God) with Water.
The water represents a cleansing. How God cleansed the world.
And in the End, the world will be judged by God by fire.
The world will be cleansed by Fire.
The 1st two worlds were cleansed by water, and after the 2nd (Noah's flood) was cleansed by water God promised to never destroy the world again by water.
The next time, which will be Much Much worse than Sodom, will be cleansed by Fire.
Then God will bring New Heaven to the New Earth, and New Jerusalem to the New Earth, and God (YHWH = God's Name) will live forever more with mankind (Those that have endured to the End).
This is what most evangelical Christian teachers, Christian pastors teach from the Bible !!!

Would backsliding denote that at one time America was blessed by God? Where in the Bible does it say that? Our founding fathers were Deists, believing in the moral teachings of the Bible, but not the miracles. The Bible says that every nation will be destroyed at the time of Armageddon, not every nation except America. As for the destruction of physical America, or any country, the Bible only says the world will be destroyed, not the planet. World has always meant people, not the physical planet. In the sense of the Bible, it means those not in keeping with God's Word, including those who claim to be.

Perhaps we'll follow the rest of the world away from basing our sexual practices on the taboos of ancient goat and camel-herders that thought the Gods lived on mountaintops, believed disease was caused by demon-possession, and believed that man was mortal because he ate from the wrong tree. Why we would wish to abandon the practices of such abysmally ignorant, primitive and superstitious pre-scientific peoples is beyond me. Demon exorcism clearly works better than modern treatments for epilepsy.
So far, many agnostic nations far less sexually conservative than the United States have not been "judged." Perhaps court is not in session? Perhaps there is no judge? Perhaps there is a judge and he has a different set of rules than you think.

It depends on the God's will and decree.According to holy Qur'an,God had sent Luth prophet to his group of families because in his families there were many sexual relation with the same sex male with male and female with female that was called homosexuality and lebianity..These kinds of sexuality was prohibited by God because it was against with God's law..Luth gave warning to them but they did not obey his warning.So at a night before down,God sent storm and eart quake and they were killed including his wife,except Luth and his faithful followers.If in the USA there are many homosexuality and lesbianity they will get sins and God certainly omni know them and they will get punishment. now in this world or at least in the life after death they will go to hell..In USA there are many atheists too.They have been inform the religion from God but they do not want to follow it so they will get punishment too except they change their minds and follow the right religion.

The USA is already being judged for "sexual sins" and "backsliding." The 9/11 attack was the result of one such judgment. Insane Islam fundamentalists took it upon themselves to punish America.
Pat Robertson put more fuel on the fire by judging the USA.
There will always be crazed lunatics and backwater idiots judging the USA (or other countries) for daring to allow something that offends them.
Or, do you mean judged by God? Not likely. There's no evidence that Sodom was destroyed by a rain of fire anyway. All we have is a fanciful Biblical tale. Well, gee, we have the Iliad to tell us that immersing yourself in the River Styx makes you invulnerable. Yeah, that's credible.
But then, what basis does God have for judging people? He allowed Lot's family to escape because they were virtuous. Yeah, great virtuous family. Let's see just how virtuous they were:
Father - Offered up his daughters to be raped by the townspeople.
Mother - Regretted leaving behind sin and pines for those days.
Daughters - Get their father drunk and rape them.
Hey, if that's morality, then America has NOTHING to worry about.

No! I have not done a thing for you or anyone else to judge. Instead of dwelling on "sin" you could spend some time aiding those who are sick, poor or just lonely. That Rev. Haggard's church member said that we are all one step away from doing what the Rev. has done. Jesus Christ and Moses on a raft eating a ham sandwich!! We are not, all of us, doing anything remotely close to the ruination that Haggard caused his family. Christians must love to roll around in filth. You constantly think humans are nothing but a cesspool to be damned to hell. I know lots of people who have really positive things going on in their lives and not on the brink of entering the fires of hell for their behavior. Try to purge yourself of these disgusting ideas and bring some light into your life!

i'm very happy which you have come out into the open appropriate to the variety you adult males evaluate abortion to be a "sexual sin," because of the fact it somewhat is the unpunished, unregulated intercourse that some all human beings is having - with no need to concern the scarlet letter of unintentional being pregnant - that somewhat seems to stick on your craws. There at the instant are not any "aborted toddlers." toddlers are born. almost all of abortions ensue long in the previous viability, long in the previous the fetus is able to surviving via itself exterior the uterus. in case you think existence starts off at concept, then you definately probable don't have an abortion once you get pregnant. different than that, suggestions your guy or woman business enterprise. Asker - returned, suggestions your guy or woman business enterprise. shield your guy or woman intercourse existence and save your nostril out of alternative human beings's business enterprise. it somewhat is no longer as much as you to direct how different human beings stay their lives, no count how arrogantly intense you value your guy or woman magnitude.

I think we have been getting pretty strong warnings lately. I think there is a good chance we could wake up. After 9/11 Church attendance was through the roof, All GOD has to do is allow a lot more and we got a Christian Nation again! But he is very merciful and very patient.
May GOD richly bless you and the USA.

first off, Sodom wasnt destroyed because of their sexual sins. they were destoyed because of their idleness of time, fullness of bread, and pride, and for not being philanthropic (Ezekiel 16)
But america is very much like Sodom. so is jerusalem. America will be judge because shes turned her back on God

Ahh, the moral minority.
I'm fairly sure if he was gonig to smite the heck out of you, he would have done it by now. He's been pretty quiet in the whole raining sulphur area for quite some time.
He might no longer be able to. Or else he doesn't a) care or b) exist.
