    I thought "the Bema seat" judgment was big among dispensationalists.

    That being said God does CHASTEN His children. Furthermore, when God brings judgment on a nation all suffer, believer or nonbeliever!

    I have never liked that statement and I cringe when I hear it. God can choose to show more grace to one nation than another. And when He does He is just and righteous in doing it. He does not owe one nation a certain level of grace just because of the level of grace He extended to another nation.

    But I do understand the comparison and it is not without justification. Even still such statements are theologically incorrect and ungodly.

    You are mistaken. Those who are saved from their sins by the blood of Jesus Christ will not even be question about there sins much less Judged. They all wear the righteousness of Christ. And their sins are no longer remembered.
    All their sins have been forgiven past, present, and future.
    When you punished your children did you punish them all at the same time whether they were all guilty or not?

    I do not say Amen much, growing up in a Presbyterian Church, but AMEN to your post. God is Creator, and in charge. He can do what He wants, when He wants, and why He wants. It amazes me how many on this board think they have some secret knowledge into the deepest, most inner thoughts and motives of the Lord.

    Graham was just pointing out the wickedness of America. He was not trying to tell God how He should be judging nations. The OP missed the point.

    When God judged the preflood Earth He saved the righteous and destroyed the wicked. When God destroyed Sodom He did exactly the same thing. So how is it there are so many who believe God slaps wicked and the righteous with the same punishment. If God never changes then how is it He did not destroy all the wicked with out saving the righteous?.

    Excentric nailed that point home. I never took that statement as intended theological truth, but more like the meme's you see on facebook, emails and discussion forums.

    All of that is well and good, but I contend that it is wrong for Christians, especially those recognised as Christian leaders, to make wrong statements about God, even for a sound bite or meme. It still gives a false impression of God and His justice and it still attempts to hold Him to our standards.

    The statement is sanctified silliness at best.

    all it does is imply our country should be viewed in the same light as S&G. To read anything else other than that into it is going way too far. The silliness is taking a quip and dissecting it the way this thread is doing.
