In reading DR McGee's statement and my follow-up above, it may seem that my intent was to contradict Doctor McGee. Far from it. All of DR McGee's conclusions and his stating that God will turn His back on a people who turn their back on Him, was entirely accurate. My statement at the bottom of the post was to the individual.

Salvation is a one-on-one relationship between God and the repentant sinner. Thus in a land like ours where government at every level have been making laws that contradict God's law, the willing individual is still called out from among men. God withholds His hand of blessing from a nation, but He will always accept the repentant individual.
1 Peter 2:9 (KJV)
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:


Men are called by the Holy Spirit unto repentance. That's the function of the individual conscience of every man and woman. We are each born with an awareness of God living within us.
Romans 1:20 (KJV)
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they (men) are without excuse:

Further, it is my belief, that every person can recall a time in their life when at some point they fully intended to get right with the Lord. But a scarred conscience and a layer of guilt can obscure the remembrance of that time.
