Should read “church is absent”
That’s absurd. No one REALLY lives like that.
A perfect ideal is not reality because we are not perfect.
Does not mean we shouldn't aim for that ideal.
Baloney.
You talk about a perfect ideal. How about this one: “Matthew 5:48 (ESV)
You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” That’s an obvious goal of perfection, not some distorted end time sidetracked goal.
No perfection this side of eternity, brother.
Whether you're Pre-, Mid-, or Post-Trib - live each day as if it's our last.
That’s why it’s called Pesimillennialism.
Thank you Jesus, my Saviour and Father Yehova.
“The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate Me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres… the Church will be full of those who accept compromises, and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord.”This seems to be happening now with the latest Pope and all he has officially done since being given that office.
And there is this warning also that seems to fit well with the Bible story as near as I can tell:
“As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead.”If what I’ve read is true, then it likely will be worse for us/US than it was for Sodom and Gomorrah.
I guess we’ll have to wait and see. I wonder how long we’ll have to wait.
