I feel that the human race is under the control of the anti Christ - not a human being. but a diabolical , evil prescence.
Let's deal with a list of sinful behavior which is destroying our species.
A. abortion B. bi-sexuality C. crime D. divorce E. envy F. foolishness G. greed H. hate I. infidelity J. jealousy K. killing L. lust M. murder N. narcotics O. offensive P. privilege Q. queer r. racist S. spiteful T. tyrannical U. ugly V. vain W. wasteful X. Y. yellow Z. Where is God?
Which of these sins are NOT mentioned and condemned in the bible and other holy books from antiquity?
Atheists I know are questioning whether there is some sort of Transcendent Evil at work in the world.
Drop “Z” first. After reading Isaiah 59:2, one has to, anyway.
We’re in the time mentioned in Revelation 12:12.
My FRiend, the devil screams loudly, bangs loudly, and always make a lot of noise. He “walks around like a roaring lion seeking who he may devour.” (Notice he can’t devour just anyone, he has to seek those he can devour.)
God works quietly, but his works are powerful like an unstoppable tsunami, not for evil but for good.
Someone has said, if you want to know what God is doing, look at what the devil is doing because the loud and noisy devil is trying to stop what God is quietly but powerfully doing. The devil never succeeds in this.
Remember when Jesus was born. Quietly. Only a few knew about it. But the devil killed all boys under the age of 2 years old and everybody knew about that.
There is coming a great worldwide spiritual revival that is unexpected but unstoppable. God has good things ahead for many. He’s preparing many for Jesus’ coming for his own to take to Heaven before the REALLY bad stuff happens.
Hope that helps.
This is and has been the age-old question for millennia. The answer, with regularity, is some form of notions of free will. Why did angels rebel and fall? Why and how does man choose poorly? Why are there consequences for behaviors which breed failure of one sort and another?
The conundrum is yours to face, as it it ours to face. I trust in God, and therefore your question is not mine, though once it was. Where is God? Here. And there. Faith allows for doubt. Doubt asks questions. Best regards and best wishes as you ponder the question.
The devil is having his time on earth. It will remains that way until Christ returns. Stay vigilant, the path is narrow.
That spells leftism
We live in the times of the Anti-Christ as the number of Lost is growing daily and they worship him and act as his minions.
If that’s a life accomplishment checklist, I’m not doing very well.
I’m a sinner, but I guess I’m not a very successful one. 😁
It’s an excellent list of adjectives to describe Demon- Rats.
But in verses 18-23 it begins talking about the world denying God's existence even though His existence is as plain as day. So in verses 24-32 it lists various evil practices that are just like today's. Each time God says that He'll remove part of his protective hand over man's sinful nature thinking it'll be enough of a wake-up call that we need Him. And each time the world revels in that sin and God repeats the process at the next sin level, thinking this time we'll be ashamed of our sin enough to wake us up. It's amazing how much the Apostle Paul's writing in Romans mirrors America's and the west's decline since the Great Awakenings. First it was the normalization of heterosexual sin
IMHO our long-ball strategy should be less struggle against the awful sin and more trying to win the argument back in verses 16-20 on the existence of God. As long as the world continues to deny God's existence, the struggle against evil is impossible.
Matthew 24:10-13 NASBS
At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. [11] Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. [12] Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold. [13] But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.
Where is God?
2Timothy 3
He gave us a preview.
"Valery, you have to tell the truth. All of it."
"You can't possibly be that naive. What you are proposing is that Legasov humiliate a nation that is obsessed with not being humiliated."
Are you humiliated by the truth?
Or like Mulder from the X-Files, "You are prepared to accept the truth aren't you? To sacrifice yourself to it?"
Z is for zealotry, which can be used for evil purposes at times.
you say that like you’re surprised...
Eph 6:12 (NKJV): For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
“As long as the world continues to deny God’s existence, the struggle against evil is impossible.”
Sure, but this trend has been going against us for centuries now. Perhaps it can be reversed, but it’s not even a debate in academia or intellectual circles anymore. For the elite of our societies that dictate the trends of thought for everyone else, the argument has long been over, and anyone who disagrees is just a bumpkin to be dismissed out of hand.
But that’s the world. The world will always stand against God. We’re not told to try and save the world. We’re told to try and save people.
With that long list, you still think there is a God?
