JAMES DOBSON: AMERICA HEADED TOWARD 'DEPRAVITY'
'It happened to Greece, Rome, Pompeii' and Sodom and Gomorrah

Dr. James Dobson, one of America’s best-known Christian leaders, founder of Family Talk Radio, a courtroom opponent of Obamacare and, just recently, the National Day of Prayer speaker who called Barack Obama the “abortion president,” warns American is heading toward “depravity.”
In his October 2014 newsletter, a copy of which is available online, he wrote about the Old Testament account of Abraham’s nephew, Lot, “who chose to take his family into the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.”
“The men living there had become desperately depraved, burning with lust for each other. Jehovah told Abraham that their sin was so grievous that the Lord decided to rain utter destruction upon them. Abraham pleaded with the Lord on behalf of the people, but the patriarch could not find even ten righteous men in either of the cities to justify mercy,” he wrote.
“Why have I chosen to recount this biblical story from so long ago? Because I am convinced that America and other Western nations are sliding in the same direction,” he warned. “We have not yet reached the depravity of Sodom and Gomorrah, but that appears to be where we are headed.”
Dobson added, “Judge Robert Bork, the brilliant jurist who was shamefully denied a seat on the Supreme Court, wrote a book about this danger 18 years ago. It was titled, ‘Slouching Towards Gomorrah.’ I think he had it right.”
“Many influential men and women of the judiciary are leading us toward perdition.”
His blast at America lined up with the comments made by the Rev. Billy Graham in a Sept. 30 column for Decision magazine.
Only Graham didn’t hold quite as positive an opinion about America as Dobson. Where Dobson said America is sliding down, Graham said America already is there.
“Even though America is just as wicked as Sodom and Gomorrah ever were, and as deserving of the judgment of God, God would spare us if we were earnestly praying, with hearts that been cleansed and washed by the blood of Christ,” he wrote.
Graham did offer the hope of prayer, like Hezekiah, who “prayed when his city was threatened by the invading armies … and the entire army of Sennacherib was destroyed,” and like Elijah, who prayed “and God sent fire from Heaven to consume the offering of the altar he had built in the presence of God’s enemies,” and Jesus, who “prayed at the door of the tomb of Lazarus, and the one who had been dead for four days came forth.”
Graham wrote, “What a glorious thing it would be if millions of us would avail ourselves of the greatest privilege this side of Heaven!
“The problems of the world will never be settled unless our national leaders go to God in prayer,” he said. “If only they would discover the power and wisdom that there is in reliance upon God, we could soon see the solution to the grave problems that face the world!”
Graham’s commentary, headlined, “Turning the Tide of History,” was reprinted from a January 1962 radio program sermon, according to a report from CNS News.
Dobson pinned part of the blame for a crumbling America on federal judges – especially those who of late have found ways to undermine traditional marriage by opening it up to homosexual duos.
“Modernists, libertarians and atheists today recognize no condemnation of sexual perversion in the Bible. However, this historical account illustrates how God views it. The outrageous behavior of the wicked men of Sodom and Gomorrah sealed their doom. Fire and brimstone fell from the sky on both cities and utterly destroyed them,” Dobson explained.
“The story of Abraham and Lot also illustrates how entire societies can become so corrupted by evil that divine judgment eventually destroys them, or they simply fade away. It happened to the people of Greece, Rome, Pompeii and other cities and cultures where wickedness became the order of the day. One thing is certain. God is the holy Sovereign Lord of all heaven and earth, and He will not be mocked.”
And Dobson identified one of those leading the descent: Judge Richard Posner, a “federal judge sitting on the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.”

What they do not realize is that Secular Humanism is a Religion that is the antithesis of God's Word, the Religion of Satan. This DEPRAVED Religion has as members most of the influential leaders in America and the godless Amrican Electorate that puts them in office. They are ruled by Satan, and are pushing America toward the One World Government of Satan. Satan's one goal at this time, is to reveal his son to the world as their "savior," just as Scripture tells us.
