How Will Christianity Survive During Dark Times?
PatriotandLiberty ^ | 4/23 | Michael G Brown

Posted on 05/06/2023 2:08:52 AM PDT by spirited irish

The conquering power of evil is on the increase. This is characteristic of the last times. Innocent babies are now not even allowed to be born, so corrupted are the moral standards. Or if born, no one educates them, so desolate are studies. Or if trained, no one enforces the training, so impotent are the laws. In fact, the case for modesty . . . has in our time become an obsolete subject.1

I doubt that is how it works.


That is EXACTLY how it works. God will not lose one single person that is called. Physical death here on earth is a little thing when God’s view is eternity. For his people.

You are speaking as the world speaks, and of saving worldly things.

How did you twist what I posted into that?

I would partially agree with you in that God always provides opportunity; its up to us to see it and ACT on it. How’s that go? God helps those who help their selves.

There are times where God has to directly intervene. Moses witnessed it. Daniel witnessed it.

THIS

I said it a little wrong, you corrected it.

There was never a time so dark than in these 1260 years of persecution...

“That the Church of Rome has shed more innocent blood than any other institution that has ever existed among mankind, will be questioned by no Protestant who has a competent knowledge of history. The memorials, indeed, of many of her persecutions are now so scanty, that it is impossible to form a complete conception of the multitude of her victims, and it is quite certain that no power of imagination can adequately realize their sufferings.” — “History of the Rise and Influence of the Spirit of Rationalism in Europe,” Vol. II, p. 32. London: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1910.

As it always has. God will sustain it and people will still be saved.

THIS!!

God always has the faithful followers. Those numbers may be small but they will be there.

Yes, things are looking bad in our country now. But we forget that things have been a LOT worse for Christians in other countries for a long long time.

Very true!

God is still in ultimate control. Now is the time to put our complete trust in Him. And keep pushing on with what He wants of us. It's all good!

Also, very true! All one needs to do is study the history of the Jews (and their country) and the bible to see there are consequences for not heeding His words and for breaking His covenants.

2nd Chronicles 7:14

Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.

Not too many of us left in this country who are humble or seem to be turning from their wicked ways. In fact, it's just the opposite! Guess what's next?

God helps those who help their selves.

That is pagan Roman mythological theory, not biblical wisdom.

Jeremiah 2:13
“For My people have committed two evils:
They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living water,
and they have dug their own cisterns—broken cisterns that cannot hold water."

John 15:5-6
“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned."

Acts 5:38-39
"So in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone. Let them go! For if their purpose or endeavor is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God.”

>>> Another 1,000 years like this, and no flesh would be saved

I’m pretty sure His reference was to the 7 year tribulation. His 1000 year reign afterwards will be in peace... no wars.

The last 7 years is still included in the previous about 1,993 years...

About 2,000 swine that Legion entered and became about 2,000 demon possessed swine..

The about 2,000 years of the Church Age described as unclean doctrines of demons not to be eaten or touched..

It could be argued, there’s been about 2,000 years of tribulation in the world..

But He instructed His Disciples to be of good cheer, for He overcomes the world..
