Is there any hope left? (Vanity)
June 1, 2012 | mind freed

Posted on 06/01/2012 10:28:09 AM PDT by Mind Freed

I'm getting closer and closer to believing that we are now just waiting for God to end the world. More and more I find myself HOPING that God will come soon to end all of this. Having two sons makes it even harder because how could I want the end of the world when I have two beautiful sons who I want to watch grow? How can I have two sons grow in this society is also an alarming cause for scare. Our government is making decisions on when it's okay to kill a baby, our president is giving praise to a dictator, for God's sake The Green Lantern is now gay, there's been two cases of one man eating another man in the same week, we have children being raised in homosexual households, marriage is no longer a holy communion. I'm at the point where I don't see a return; our society has lost all moral value. I think this has gone way past who our president is. This has reached a point of losing God in our country. Getting rid of Obama (which would be a HUGE step) will not fix all of the country's problems. We need a spiritual revolution. I don't want to give up on our country, and as God fearing man, I can not give up on our country. Is there any hope left? Yes, but it all rests in God's hands.

Maybe I should have worded this differently instead of going with my first instincts. I wrote this after reading news stories and listening to the news. It hurts to see how perverted our society has become. In the bible Daniel said that we should have a heart for God. Part of that is being hurt by all the things that would hurt God. I don’t think we have it worse than others have had it and I’m not giving up. I just want this country to turn back to God. It’s important who we have as President, I would never argue that. I’m just saying that without God being part of it, we’re going to go farther down the hole. I do pray and I do get involved. I’m just praying that more will start.

You can rest with assurance that your help may or may not come here in this life or this earth.

That is why the martyrs cry for justice.

I don’t think Christ was all rosey and happy about his time in this fallen realm either..Hating evil is a good thing..Man don’t know a thing..we need God to solve our issues..clergy, a suit and tie or any other substitute just doesn’t cut it.

But that does not mean we should not keep striving to better ourselves physically and spiritually..

I consider the downtrodden to have a better perspective of how bad this hell hole is..this is not life, this is mankind creating and waking up enough to say Daddy?

I posted a comment saying that I have should have worded this differently. I’m not suicidal; I’m just upset at all the things that are happening. I’m not giving up at all.

There’s always hope for personal salvation which is all that really matters to God. There is no collective salvation.

Look at Lot, God offered to save Lot and his family but only if they did as they were told. His wife looked back and she alone was destroyed.

This isn’t a joke, but I actually see people think that if their internet service or favorite website goes down for a few minutes, they start screaming they are being persecuted.

“The Lord helps those who help themselves. “

That is not a Biblical based quote by the way.


OK, but it is certainly a reasonable conclusion one may reach from reading the Bible. It also has been an idea that has driven much of the success and independence of the American people over the last couple of centuries.

I could probably find, oh, about 3 or 4 billion people who would like to trade their troubles for yours. Shall I start making some calls?

I trust that my help will come when and where The Lord deems it appropriate ... That's His problem.

My problem? Choose ye this day ...

As for me and my house, we will serve The Lord.

Viva Cristo Rey!

1st world problems. Who gives 2 turds about what gays do or what happens in comic books or movies. Don't watch it. Unsubscribe from cable and stop going to the movie theater. I am not a Christian so I have no input on the whole end times prophecy. But .. it seems to me that if there is a God of the Christian persuasion, sitting up in heaven looking down at a guy in the richest country in the history of the world, he might get a little offended by that guy's request for Him to end it all.

Since you seem to be greatly offended by sodomy, here's an idea. Everyday some poor bastard who somehow got on the wrong side of the law is getting raped in prison. Again, I am not a Christian, but I highly doubt Jesus would approve of that type of punishment for minor crimes like possession of marijuana. Why don't you become some kind of advocate against cruel and unusual punishment.

Don't give a rats ass about people who got on the wrong side of the law regardless of circumstance? Well, I can understand that sentiment, so find something else to do. Sitting around waiting for the end times in a country that has unprecedented wealth seems absolutely ridiculous to me. The historic norm is starvation, regular bouts of disease, and state sponsored murder, rape and slavery.

I think a lot of you who replied missed the point of what I was trying to say. But oh well, I’m not a butt-hurt liberal who has my feelings hurt very easily and believe that all are more then entitled to your opinions. With that being said. I hope you all have a great weekend.

See, we need a “like” button.

You may be a heathen but you speak some hard truths that need saying.

“I’d say that compared to being a Ukranian peasant in 1933, a Polish Jew in 1940, or a Carthaginian in 146 BC things are still pretty spiffy”

Or 90% of the rest of the world today.

Oh, come man up.
If your hope rest in what others do, you are in sad shape.
You have it good.
You are NOT watching your children starve to death because some war lord refuse to distribute food.
You are not watching your children go blind because some despite thinks the simple eye drops are a capitalist plot.
You are not watching your children be crippled by polio because some religious fanatic says its Christians to disable their future warriors.
You are not having your wife dragged out into the street and commanded to denounce Christ or she dies, you refuse and a bullet is put in her brain.
You are not living in the age of plague, where 80% of the European population died.
You are not writing your whining post from a nazi death camp.

Instead of focusing on yourself, crying in self pity. Take a shower, man up and do something. Make changes in your family, on your street, in your city, in your county, in your state, then the nation.
Most of all change your heart and mind set.
