Our dark world

[Blain]

There are some things I would like to speak about. If we look at history even from before Jesus' birth we see that mankind has always sought after power riches and to make a name for themselves. Of course each time it never works out for them because the darkness in their hearts ended up being their fall. You would think mankind would learn their lesson over centuries of this happening but it seems we never do. The issue I think is that human nature is corrupt, evil greedy power hungry and naturally wants to be on top. Now to this day you don't have to look past your neighborhood to see how dark and evil this world has become, you can think of every sin in the book and it's all over the place. Every vile sexual evil thing that has every existed in the heart of man is everywhere and is the norm.

I remember how the world was in need of a savior way back in the bible days, even then they knew how bad things were and how they longed for a savior. Jesus came and turned everything upside down and changed everything for the better. ever since then the world has longed for a savior again, they looked for his appearing even until death. I know things have been very bad in the past 2000 years but now in the 21st century we see evil darkness and blood everywhere and everyday. in my honest opinion the world is once again in need of a savior, I'm not just talking about being saved and accepting Christ I mean the world needs Jesus to come and change things because if he doesn't soon then thing will only get much worse.

I see war in the middle east, I see the u.s. and Russia and Ukraine and Israel and other states at war and I see the news constantly talking about peace and I see Obama trying to push the peace process. But I don't buy it for a second and why? because I pay attention to history. even if this supposed peace agreement is made I don't doubt for a second that the real motive is a power hungry one. unless each state has a major gun up it's sleeve no one is going to go for this peace deal. I don't know or care who the antichrist is but I believe that something has to happen that would cause the world to need peace and would need a one world government.

I don't think money is the main issue in this chess game it's about lethal weapons control authority and control of the mass, My brother Flamingspirit believes if we get rid of money that would solve so much of the worlds problems. But money is not the main piece in this game, it's power and control. I believe Jesus will come back, I don't know when or how soon but when he does he will turn everything upside again and change everything once again. whether or not this is because of the rapture I don't know for all I know it could be the day of the Lord but like I said the world is once again in need of a savior and it sure isn't gonna a peace deal made by a lot of power hungry ppl. They talk of peace and unity but I suspect a different motive behind it all.

Yeah, I like the avatar to Blain, and agree with you both.. It's a false power people are after, they have printing machines... They don't care about the money, it's this sense of power people hold high as their trophy while their on earth.

I will have to disagree, but then I try to surround myself with people who seek God's heart and not power and greed. I know there are those type of people out there but I would rather meditate upon the many blessed people God has placed in my life.

Those who spend hours helping others even if those they help are not thankful at all.

I remember a group of ladies who saw a need of young children who loved to go to school not because of what they could learn but because that was the only time they got to eat. They prayed and God helped bless the community with a program they named "Matthew ministry" where they pack backbags for kids to take home on the weekend so they would have food.

Those ladies didn't do it for worldly power or greed, but because they had love and compassion in their hearts. Many in the community support it and it has spread to help so many children in need.

I'd rather do as the Bible tells us and look for the good in the world and help foster that good for the glory of God:

Philippians 4:8
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.

Because even if the world IS dark, we are the Light of God in this world and where we go, we can help chase the shadows away by telling them of Christ and His salvation. We can give to others the Love God has poured into our hearts.

Why meditate on things of darkness when there is so much goodness and light that can be found and shared?

I wish I had the chance to sit down with those who want to conquer the world and ask them what the world under their rule would look like.

I focus on the good most of the time but when you go into deep study of bible prophecy and then you see what you studied play out right before your eyes you notice the dark as well. Of course some ppl are to into it and they focus more on this stuff than God. A good day to me is one where God and I spent personal quality time together and those moments where you and him connect intimately are to be treasured. I would give my right arm to connect with him intimately 24/7

even in the church we can see that some of them are hungry of power. The church that I attend for 19 years split at least 4 time, I am not an elder and don't know the detail why, but from the rumor I heard it is about who in control.

Im not sure i can agree completely. Money has been a bkemish in humanity since its excistence. Even jesus didnt cate about the thing called currency. "bestoy upon ceaser..." money, as i see it is a tool. People use it ti get there goods and servuces. But let me ask, what was wrong with tge barter system? I give you a good or service and you do the same. People had freedom to work with whoever for whatever they wanted.

Now enters money. Money now does so much more. It pays off politucians that make the laws. It is the gid of corporate america. You xan nothing these days without it. Thay is, as you said, the control. And rge less that is out there. The more control they have.

I'm sorry, but I do not want to be rationed out what is already mine. Name one product that doesn't come the earth of which you also belong to?

 

[Flamingspirit]

Blaine, do you know who the Phoenicians and Chaldeans were? Do you know what the name "Canaan" derives from?

Exactly my point.

 

[Flamingspirit]

Exactly my point.

Money CAN be defeated. We're playing a world sized game of monopoly. We simply need not play. We learn how to do that by understanding their rules.

It can. However the scoop of people to back the idea woukd be astronomical. And thats jyst for the people to believe this is tge best solution. Once you take in consideration the suffering people woukd have to endure as well as the change of life for a cukture not only set in thier ways but the learning of the new skills... I dont know if sonething like that is possible.

It is going to happen soon. We know it in the bible as Jacob's trouble. The economy will fall, and in our darkest moment, mankind will seek and find their God.

Gadget, Flame, I understand where you are coming from. It would be much simpler if instead of money we instead just did favors in exchange for something. But the problem with that is that you are assuming that ppl would be goodhearted enough to follow that kind of system. I hate to say it but most of the world is not like that, we are living in times when crime and blood being spilled is a norm and even ppl who claim to be Christians are greedy and power hungry. People will still do all of these things if you take away money, instead of money they would seek control of land or areas. you can preach on this all you want but unless your king of the world things will continue the way they always have been with money and all your doing is ranting about how we don't need money.

Like I said money is not the main thing in this chess game-granted it is a vital piece but what the the ppl in power in this world are after is power control and to make a name for themselves. Take money away and they will still seek power and control.

Blaine, please look at your world. You have internet access.

Look up how America has 18 million homes empty.

Look up how China is building whole cities, with no one to live in them.

Look up how many empty homes there are in developed nations to the ratio of the homeless living there. Look up how the world has enough food for 13 BILLION people.

Look up the suppressed technology in housing and energy. Tesla invented wireless free energy for the world since the early 1900's!

Why aren't we using it? Because free don't make money!

There were cars that were invented that ran on water! Look it up! We could be driving off toilet water today!

Why aren't we using this? Because free don't make money!

These are just some of the things as I haven't even scratched the surface of the possibilities and advances once we decide to do away with money and by it, ALL false images!

PLEASE, just look it up. Anyone! This is our planet! WE were given dominion over the entire earth by our Father God! BE PROUD OF THAT MY PEOPLE!


We are SO much more than mere paper!

I am aware of all of that but that isn't the point. The point is that in this world it is governed by power and control, if you want to spread the message of how we can be living better and using our resources for the greater good the hippies are a good place to go.I'm not being judgmental I am serious, the hippies and the ppl called tree hugers are the ones who preach this message of yours and I know because I grew up with some of them in my neighborhood. This world you envision is not reality, and unless you have power to make everyone follow this doctrine of yours I am afraid all your preaching is in vain because the world you see around us is reality and will not change until end comes.

 

[JesusIsAll]

John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

It is not my power. What does "the end" mean to you?

Do you love the "reality" of things now? Do you not desire change?
