No, America was once a great nation. It is really not until recently they have done most heinously with all their whoredom, adultery, divorce, feminism, idolatry, and homosexuality. These things are the root, and so many other attendant wickednesses from the root were made popular by the first shameful generation, the baby boomers they are called. May they not go to the grave justifying themselves and their highly wicked ways. Seeing as they are still alive and the first two judgements be passed, may they continue to see the four sore judgements of God against them and the languishing of their children who followed in their wicked ways and even defended and glorified in them, disinheriting themselves from the land. Perhaps one of the generations will see wisdom and make the acknowledgements and repent and be spared and even blessed, but if not, let them know for certainty no nation has ever survived the Sword of God.

Indeed. Saul turned wicked, and yes, Jonathon was good. That Amalekite was a liar too thinking he'd get a reward, and a reward he got indeed by the edge of the Sword. It is interesting how David executes the judgements of God that Saul refused to do. Ah the tragedy that is 1 Samuel! A fantastic book all by itself.
"I am distressed for thee my brother Jonathon! How the mighty are fallen in high places"

The ancients turned the church into a den of thieves and were met with a whip, but the followers of Jezebel and those doing like the manner of Peor doing whoredom and idolatry that turned the church into a brothel, oh woe to them, for it says Jesus shall fight them with the Sword in the book of the Revelation.
Saul is still a teacher in the church as is Lot's wife, Samson and others of God's servants who fell, the Jews in the wilderness.
"These things happened to them as an example for us upon whom the end of the world has come, that we might not fall as they did"
But they are still of the church. They are punished but not damned.

Oh not only just the church is this about.
Nevertheless, well the good news is that the second sore judgement only just began and the famine and dire economic turmoil has set in to rip away all their wealth by which they justify their wicked ways, so in theory one of the generations of shame could seeing all this acknowledge how wicked their ways are and acknowledge that God is a Living God who is judging them openly to their faces for he is powerful and just, and repent and stop doing all these things and be spared and even blessed.

This is an interesting question but irrelevant in my opinion. It's like the question: If God created all things, who created God? It's interesting to think about but really not important. The scriptures teach that Yahweh is eternal; He wasn't created.
Likewise, we have clear and convincing scriptures that teach we aren't completely saved until we die or the Lord comes. Therefore we can't "lose" our salvation, we can only walk away from the Lord and stop serving Him. If we repent and return to Him, He'll graciously forgive us; but if He comes while we are off on or own, or if we die, that might not be the greatest situation for us.

Not so. Frankly what I do is say my piece in one post, usually the first one I make on a topic. Though sometimes some other points will catch my eye. Believe it or not I actually read much more than I write, and I read more than the topics I post on. After that then it is simply pretty much just replying to whoever pings me unless they go too far into personal attacks and it just looks totally fruitless to continue putting up with them, though I will excuse some of it to a point at first. I try to keep up with the replies based on the principle of if they want to go a mile, I want to try to go two miles with them to show I am genuine.
