“And you’re changing the subject too, and accusing others of something not being discussed. Nobody here is advocating not living righteously. Matter of fact, the more we know HIs return is close but don’t know the specific moment the more incentive it is to live righteously.”
Unfortunately, the constant speculation that some people engage in makes them vulnerable to scammers and false prophets claiming revelation and knowledge of when Jesus returns. These terrible sinners have tricked millions of Christians with their false prophecies designed to get money for themselves.
I’m not saying you are doing that, but it is indisputably true that many false prophets and vainglorious pseudo-intellectuals have stolen from the Lord’s flock.
And I do go back to Jesus’s command to not care about the future except to say that it is in God’s hands. We preach the gospel with urgency and live according to its commands, but we do not burden ourselves with things that we cannot control. This is what the command to be as little children means, and also to consider the sparrow and the lily.
We’re not to WORRY about the future.
That does not preclude excitedly looking forward to His coming again. Nor do I believe that it leaves people susceptible to fraudsters and scammers.
That’s a lack of discernment and proper understanding of Scripture. Jesus is clear that no one can know the day or hour. If some choose to ignore that, that is their choice. They simply do not believe God over men.
