How Did We Get Here?
2 Timothy 3 - Perilous Times and Perilous Men | 7/3/2011 | Me

Posted on 07/03/2011 9:53:57 AM PDT by NoGrayZone

1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; 9 but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.

I posted this because of responses to other articles here on FR. The world seems to have flipped upside down....wrong is right, evil is good, etc.

I want off this "crazy train" and want America restored to the once great nation we used to be.

I believe the Bible literally and know the time is short; however, I have hope that we can make what's coming to us a little less terrible.

Man in rebellion against God has been going on since time began; but you're right, the end-times seem much nearer, I say bring 'em on, we know WHO prevails in the end!

BTW, great homepage..:=)

Thanks! The end of the system of things certainly seems to be getting here quicker than I thought it would.

I am afraid and elated at the same time.

Look at it this way... Jesus is returning and ‘the government will be on His shoulders.’ Look UP!

I keep looking up, but the sun keeps blinding me..:=); can't wait to look up and see the real Son of Man returning!

BTW, I'm a Finn, too, my dad used to say he was Finnish all the way back to Adam..:=)

I am planning on attending Wednesdays Bible study here, thanks to Rev. Charles for finding it for me...

If that goes well, I will attend the church service that Sunday.

They ARE NOT part of the ELCA Sodom and Gomorrah crowd!

My Aunt has NO idea I am seeking out a church for us either. She asked me to be open minded while seeking a home (at least for that hour), and I said I would, and meant it when I said it.

After wards, I started to see threads about churches accepting homo’s and even the Koran and decided I simply cannot be “open minded” about finding the right home.

He seems to get really ticked off at people who allow themselves to be mislead. I intend on NOT making that error!

History is filled with good days and evil days. As Gandalf the Grey told Frodo, it’s not for us to decide when we live or die but to make the most of the time we have. Those words may not be biblical but I think there is a scriptural lesson within those words.
