I wanted to dive into Ezekiel 16 where it specifically lists the reasons for Sodom's downfall. We can see a parallel between these and many of empires in world history that has be torn apart by greed, lusts, political division, and ungodliness. Is there a correlation between these findings and America? Unfortunately, yes. I also look at a few more places in scripture that give very specific examples of two major issues that the Lord has with His people: sexual sin and child sacrifice.

I also talk a bit about the cultural Christianity belief that God is love and He doesn't send people to hell. There's a lot more exploration we can do outside of this episode, but I do look into God's character with these passages as well. Because He is just and holy, sin MUST be dealt with. So yes, Jesus is love, but His love sanctifies us and changes us in HIS image. If there's no evidence of that in your life, then you're not following the Jesus of the Bible.

So many nuggets in this one that can definitely get their own episode!
