[Whyme]

Its hate against innocent police officers too.

Its all the people who will believe the lie that im concerned with.

Then, I'll leave you to your hearts desire.  Before I go from the thread, ask yourself what these means to your life.

Philippians 3:20-21

 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.  The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

1 Timothy 4:12-16

Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.  Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.  Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.  Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.  Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

I read nothing about worrying what anyone's political view is.

Its not about a political view. Its about lies and hate. The scriptures are against those things. If we dont speak up the lie festers and hate grows more. If a false teacher told such lies would it be wrong to speak up?

Well, my friend, with all the lies being told in this world that create hate, if you try to tackle them all, when will you have time to do the Lords work?  Keep in mind that Jesus did not run around talking about the Romans, He spoke about God and His ways. 

As I said, I'll now leave this thread as no matter how I try to turn you from worrying about the world, you are settled in your belief that this is doing Gods work.  That I will leave be as it is between you and Him.

Hold on, im not as set in my ways as you may assume. I use to think just like you actually. Part of me agrees but part of me wants the truth to be seen. How does a person repent without a preacher showing them their error? If African Americans were discriminated against, would it be wrong to preach against that discrimination in Church? I dont think so, as long as it is true.

OK - since you asked me to hold on, then this will be my last reply as I am heading to bed.  The key is to preach about love, not about discrimination.  Allowing others to grow themselves when they put 2 and 2 together results in a lesson that will remain.  Telling them what to do is quickly forgotten and resentful at times.

I suppose my language is a little blunt. But what have i told anyone to do? All i did was point out lies. People can do with that info whatever they want to.

You, however, must also keep in mind that there are many who would say that some of the lies you point out are indeed true. Just as some of the things you believe to be true are lies. It goes both ways. 

What lies?

That word of action is: Matthew 24:7 (KJV) For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

ἔθνος éthnos, eth'-nos probably from G1486; a race (as of the same habit), i.e. a tribe; specially, a foreign (non-Jewish) one (usually, by implication, pagan):—Gentile

 

The Greek word "ethnos" is where we derive our English word; ethnic. So, better said, "race wars."

I do not want to write a book on the subject, but this "woke" movement is nothing new. I'll use but one example, the BLM movement. Same old story time and again. Check out the three black lesbian women who founded the movement, and all the mansions they are buying. Follow the money: Where are they getting all this sudden income to purchase multiple mansions? 

This is the age old end-time and socialist movement. To make everyone equal, equally poor except for the ruling elite and our masters. Socialism takes from the productive by the force of law, then distributes that wealth to the politicians choice of beneficiaries (for votes). Thereby; diminishing my ability to provide for myself and my family. Equality and socialism takes away all incentive to be productive and get ahead. Do the rich and poor have equal access to justice under the law?

"May not be in the worst of times yet?" To coin a phrase, "you ain't seen nothing yet."

 

 

 

 

People around the world are waking to the fact that their governments continuously promising to mitigate fossil fuel use has been a lie, and and that the truth is the world burns more fossil fuels every year.

When I then look at the data in Revelation 8 where one third of earth's environmental resources are destroyed, which according to Revelation 9:20 is attributable to the love mankind has for the things his hands produce; I then recognize those being sealed with Gods seal of truth in Revelation 7, is in regard to the damage being caused by mankind's love for the things his hands produce through fossil fuel burning industries.

Revelation 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

I agree, brother… this will be the way of the world as we move closer to Christ’s return.  Without Jesus, the days ahead could look dismal indeed!  Yet within the church, we have sanctuary.  Paul explains this to the churches in Galatia:

Galatians 3:26-29

26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

To me, understanding that Jesus is our equalizer is being “woke” in the real sense.  Any other definition is a worthless, oppressive, man-made ideology.  As Abraham’s seed, we understand and trust in the promise of God to hold us together—our almighty Father, “who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did” (Romans 4:17).  “For God so loved the world,…”—all of us, from every nation and ethnicity, who are drawn to Him.

You are so right, @Dennis1209!  We “ain’t seen nothing yet” that will ever compare with what God can do!    
 

 

 Daniel 12:4    “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

Yes, @luigi, it does seem that the time of the end is drawing near, and people are running “to and fro” in utter confusion, looking for something to believe in.  What they need will not be found in any man-made philosophy, but we in Christ have the very treasure they need!  And yes!  Knowledge will increase as the Holy Spirit empowers us to share the Truth of the gospel of Christ. \o/

 “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!” (Romans 10 :15)  

 

 
 

 

 

JustClay, In Revelation 7:1-3, four of Gods angels are restraining the winds from damaging the earth, until all of their fellow servants on earth are sealed with God's seal of truth. When all are sealed, the four angels then cease their restraining of the winds, and the destruction to one third of all of earth's environmental resources commences as described in Revelation 8, and which Revelation 9:20 attributes to the love mankind has for the things his hands produce. As such, and with the understanding that the vast majority of things produced today are by fossil fuel burning industries; I then recognize the people sealed with Gods seal of truth in Revelation 7, as todays increasing number of people around the world who are waking to the truth that the earth is being raped by the things peoples hands make and love, through fossil fuel burning industries.
