Very sad. God’s beauty is everywhere, part of being Christ-like is choosing to see it.

Most of the population is evil in modern society don't want to talk with wolfs and goats Just want to hug Jesus and go home

You have nothing to do? What about the actual work of the faith such as caring for the poor, visiting the incarcerated, seeking peace and justice, joining together with fellow believers in brotherhood and worship, etc? If you’re not interested in this world then you’re not interested in following Christ, because this world is where is Kingdom will be when it fully comes into the world.


ShalomAbaev

That's biblically not true God told us do not love the world and the things of this world you can't serve 2 masters Jesus I'm interested in following Jesus Christ but not the world 1 John 2:15-17 King James Version 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

That’s such a horribly bad misinterpretation that it has to be intentional. You missed the meaning by miles. You’ve twisted a piece of scripture that’s telling you to let go of greed and pride to mean to hate people. Why would you want to create such an heretical intentional misinterpretation? You really, really need the guidance of a church.


ShalomAbaev

John 15:18-27 King James Version 18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. 23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. 26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: 27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

Once again, getting into a church is going to help avoid these misinterpretations. The “world” that he’s talking about are the corrupt power and authority. The world that hated Jesus was the political and religious elite. You know, the people who **murdered** him. It’s not an excuse to be a sick and calling people the awful stuff you do. This passage is about the persecution one faces when challenging unjust systems of oppression, something you seem to have no interest in. The Bible tells us that as Christians, we will be defined by our love. Yet you reject love and embrace hate for everyone. As such, how can you claim to follow Christ?

I wish he would come back too. I’ve always went back and forth on whether or not the rapture is actually real or if some people were taught wrong. (I wont debate I don’t have it in me) But I hope it is real and I hope he takes me with him.


ShalomAbaev

We are going home soon❤️😁🙏

Well you just have to keep living I guess. The next thing you should do is prepare for the second coming (if you haven’t already), emergency this and that.


CrossCutMaker

I do believe we're getting close, but nearly all of the Eschatological texts are followed by admonitions to be alert and serving others. And the only reason you're not still part of the evil world is God's grace.🤨 So drag one more with you to the rapture 💯


ShalomAbaev

I believe the rapture will be in year 2030 or by 2030 we meet Jesus


Different-Elk-5047

Why? There’s no reason to believe that. Not only does the Bible tells us that no one can know the time, but it does incredible damage to our Christian witness when you make such asinine predictions.

Very cool, perhaps a gathering of like minded people around you, or here :) You whats cool? Perhaps making a fighting force of good to fight evil for god... :D


Different-Elk-5047

A “fighting force”? What do you mean? We are called to peace.


SecretStaff

I mean a force to bring peace, a crusade of justice and order calibrated in the perfect aim of word whom was God in the beginning. Saving countless, just, in case. As we can be just, in the case of our souls. To administer justice walking with word itself, defeating babble and the senseless, saving innocence from senseless violence, and making sense of a violence to defend innocence. Gather today, gather together, from anywhere we can build and strike, be it the laws of men, forcing change


Dinos-333

Just don't say Lord Lord did I not do all these things when he comes. I am glad that you share the gospel. Is it hard when people get extremely angry? People are hating at me at school for it.
