I also agree on Hosea 4:6. We as a nation, including me, have slowly slipped away into Huluville, Amazon prime, and Netflixville. How sad, to get caught up in what the world does. God will not save our country, if we do not take steps, to get away from the sins of the world. It's like, God asks me, "You want me to save America, but you are not serving me first?" How sad, God, help me to get away from the things of the world, and to have perfect peace in you

Chris's comment on 2020-05-16 01:45:48:

Very true indeed. Most of those Christians are either immature, or have been led to believe: 'that now that I've been saved, I have my ticket to Heaven, so behaving as the world does, doesn't matter'. Tragic!!

MarilynT's comment on 2020-05-15 20:37:36:

When I look at the sins and disobedience of Israel. Today, I look around me and sin seems to be everywhere!

Sometimes I see Christians or the "Saved" doing the same things in an ungodly way. They know that they should

not be living like Sinners. These are the Backsliding Heifers mentioned in Hosea 4:16. Thank God for Jesus coming

with grace and forgiveness. We do not have to live under the Law. We can go to God for ourselves and he will

forgive us and heal our Land.

Anthony Feliciano's comment on 2020-04-12 02:01:29:

Without the Word of God, we are in darkness, in which we have no guidance, as Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one will see God without Christ, who is returning for the church in the rapture. Coming for a church white as snow, without marks or spots, and only in obedience to God Word, or Commandment, which proceed from the mouth of God, written with His finger and gave them to Moses to deliver to us all either in the Old Testament or New Testament by the Son of God as Christ the teacher of the Word of the Father God, amen.

Annysia's comment on 2020-04-01 02:03:51:

Without God, there are no rules dictating us, and without rules there is bloodshed. The chapter mentioned how priests were being ineffective representatives of God because of their corruption, priests that were doing their jobs were being ignored by the people they want to help. It's a cycle of selfishness commonly seen today. How do we know when to draw the line between the following of God's commands and fake commands that are supposed to be from God? It gets harder and harder these days to tell apart, if only both leaders and the people became more discerning to their surroundings.

Diante Dingle's comment on 2020-03-25 05:40:50:

Seems straight to the point which in regards leads me to the fact that throughout history god has shown his kindness, mercy and wisdom and has shared his words with everyone as well as blessed people and because people have pushed god away and hardened their hearts god has given them over to a debated and vulgar mindset that i wouldnt even wish on my enemy that means america is in this conversation because we stand as a christian nation and slowly have turned our back on god then given into gay marriage and so many other things that anyone could see what god is doing to everyone who has forgotten his laws. May god have mercy on america

Yes just as I thought his people knowing him but there hearts are far from him

Kenneth Zimba's comment on 2015-07-17 11:14:18:

Lacking of knowledge is a deliberate thing, because God has revealed Himself to man Ignorance has no defence Acts 14:16-17 ' ' Who in bygone generations allowed all Nations to walk in their own ways. Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filing our hearts with food and gladness ' '. Our maker has to all generations shown Himself to man in a language he understands, lacking of knowledge is not a defense.

So many peoples are being lead astray by wrongful doctrines of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ We have to Know GOD for ourselves

chigozie age's comment on 2014-03-10 12:26:02:

Solomon said the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom anything out of that is lack of knowledge

mary Ellis's comment on 2013-09-23 11:30:37:

sounds pretty straight to the point it seems to me. a nation that was found under God but has now kicked him out from everythin. what else do we expect? our children are in danger. the only hope for those that love God is to stick by him and keep him first he will not leave us and we'll go down in redemption with him just like he promised the theif on the cross. to die in Christ and live enternal life sounds like a deal to me.
