It is clear that we are an utterly failed species. Left to our own devices, all we do is embrace the profane, the untrue, and outright evil.
In only a few decades, I have seen America START as a world leader in industry; a world policy maker; and a world instructor in how to be free and a functional representative republic. I have seen America FINISH as a second-rate financial has-beenl a country ridiculed on the international stage; and a nearly-complete Police State where SWAT kills with impunity and political 'crimes' abound.
Russia, too, attempted to throw off the chains of Communism, only to be immediately taken over by a crime syndicate. So, even when the failed policies of Communism are overthrown, all humanity seems to want to do is destroy itself anyways.
Communism appears to be on the march again, though it is very obvious by now to even the casual observer that it does not, has not, will never work.
Islam, a religion dominated by fanatics who willingly kill themselves to advance their cause of chaos and hate, is on the rise and is marked for ascendancy. This religion, dictated by a epileptic sun-mad pedophile, subjegates women, holds lying as acceptable, and insists death be the result of trying to leave Islam.
We are a failed species. The only possible solution is the complete extermination of the entire human race. We have utterly no chance of redemption, and we only spread evil. It is time to remove this cancerous growth known as 'mankind' from the universe.
MOVING GRAPHIC.
However,
that would indicate that
He died for us, for nothing.
And that’s not true. Father would never allow that to be true.
GOD STILL KNOWS WHAT HE’S DOING.
HE’S NEVER HAD A BAD OR FAILED PLAN.
THIS IS BOOT CAMP FOR RULERS AND REIGNERS WITH CHRIST.
Those sucking up to evil will have their fill of it eternally.
There is an alternative.
>>Speak for yourself, buddy. The human race has come a long way despite the occasional setback.
Go ahead and jump off a cliff if you feel like it, but the rest of us will keep on keeping on.
Giving up is for the weak.<<
And AA is for quitters! :)
Actually, this will not go on forever, and it is about to end. Check this out: http://www.chrismartenson.com/crashcourse
Pay close attention to the story about the magic drop of water in the stadium. We are very close to the end of the story, and the end comes quickly. Very quickly.
Without Jesus, we would all be in a very, VERY bad way.
Listen to fireman15 at post 91.
He has it right.
It’s the same advice I gave to my daughter who was feeling down yesterday.
It can be hazardous
to judge God.
Now that I am almost 60, my favorite Old Testament book is Ecclesiastes. Apparently depressing, but with an incredibly uplifting twist. And it is basically Solomon, after the chicks, the cars, the yachts, the villa in the Alps, etc., realizing what an utter waste it all is. Except...
And
IN GOD’S PERFECT GOODNESS
HE MADE LAZ.
AND HE SAID THAT WAS GOOD KNOWING ALL THE EVIL PUSS POCKETS LURKING IN VARIOUS CORNERS OF LAZ.
BECAUSE HE IS ABLE
AND WILLING
TO FINISH PERFECTING LAZ INTO CHRIST’S IMAGE.
He does, however, require some cooperation from you.
>>I can’t help but think we’re in the hellish transition period where the contractions are getting constantly harder, longer, and with less recovery time between.<<
I believe the Bible compares it to “birth pangs”.
"Dibs on the hawt post-apocalypse tiger-chicks! Dibs! DIBS -- !!!"
INDEED.
Or ... maybe not.
It matters little, in either case. The grand End Of The World might be today, or October (per H. Camping's latest), or some unimaginable number of billion years from now.
We do know this:
Your (and my, and everybody else's) own personal "end of the world" is coming a lot sooner than most of us like to think about.
For most of us, May 22 followed May 21 with no fuss.
For a few million of us, May 21 really was the end of the world.
So be ready ... either way, He comes like a thief in the night.
How is that creature’s name pronounced?
Yep, and that’s what it feels like too. I’m glad Jesus told us ahead of time what it would be like so we can know it doesn’t mean the world is out of control but that things are going just as He knew they would.
Makes me think of my brother-in-law’s t-shirt that said, “Never fear the future; God has already been there.” He told us just enough so we know He knows what He’s doing and can get us safely across whatever comes next.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
wrong ocean.
It was the Japanese at Pearl Harbor . . . by prior arrangement.
LOL.
Awwwwwww.
There are more annoying formatting options, so I probably shouldn't complain.
"Mee-SHELL Oh-BAH-Mah."
