from What The Hell by Richard Pope https://americanmind.org/salvo/what-the-hell/ excerpt: Fertility rates are plummeting across the developed world. Doom and gloom over climate change dominates the discourse in advanced economies. Pro-choice activists have shifted their stated stance from “safe, legal and rare” to “it’s a birthing person’s choice” even at full term. Proabortion activists paint their faces red and scream “I love killing babies.” Teachers instruct kindergarteners about their own peculiar sexualities as well-funded international organizations remake pedagogy in the image of “Drag Queen Story Hour.” The signs of evil are everywhere. But many of us, overwhelmed by the scope of the situation, struggle to make sense of just what we’re facing. “Evil” feels too abstract and uncontrollable. But something less religious-sounding, like “craziness,” is too vague and dismissive. When the supposedly “marginalized” demand a supposed “right” to twerk in front of children, or read books to them in drag, we are dealing with a pathology that is more than neurochemical. Something spiritual is at stake—something demonic.
although i am not as educated as you...or most in the forum....i definitely know evil when i see it... it's time for the human race to choose....you are right about the principalities and powers...that's what we face...be of good hope my friend....good hope
Such is consistent with a Biblical world view. And for those of us that acept God's insightful truth, there's strength to be found in understanding the fallen world 's condition and hope to be found for the new one that lies ahead.
footnote: medicine/vaccines cause this on purpose - spontaneous miscarriages for life from one shot. In the shot is hcg, the pregnancy hormone, so the body of the woman who gets a shot develops a reaction to being pregnant, and treats any new life given by God as an infection, to be expelled, instead of a life to be nourished and protected. This has been going on and planned evil since the spanish flu time. "The human race" chooses evil, continually, and won't change. People may still be able to choose right from wrong, but overall the world race never can. THe world nations were once "without Christ and without hope in the world". Now, since Christ, most nations and people are still without Christ and without hope in the world , but a few are called AND chosen, born again by the Father in heaven, resulting in LIFE ETERNAL, and daily righteousness, peace and joy unmeasurable, overflowing, daily.
An ever-increasing site at United Methodist Churches: This denomination does not ever teach or read out of The Book of Revelation, according to my ex-UMC pastor. "It is only John's dream." Regarding the topic: Until recently, "evil" has been as some distant concept. Not any more. The veil is gone.
I agree with all points. We are living in a Demonic age. The Church has been corrupted, over the years, to where many are now less than worthless -- they are dangerous and go along with government mandates. But I'll stop there, as I am too pessimistic about the future.
@Bruce Andrew Bill Gates has bought up a ton of farmland. Should he decide to shut down production to further disrupt the food supply, just watch and see how much We the People value private property rights. It's the perfect set-up.
Let's not be so gloomy, folks. I've come to some faith through the backdoor, so to speak. If the evil in the world being so coordinated is evidence of the demonic, that evidence necessarily is also evidence of the opposite. I. e., if satan exists, so must God. We will win in the end, so be of good heart.
Before you go too far here, I'd suggest that you read Karl Marx's "Communist Manifesto" It's available online so you needn't buy or borrow anything. The "communism" of the Soviet Union had little or nothing to do with Karl Marx.
I'm glad you said that. I've made that point with people a few times and gotten nothing but puzzled looks. Most people get their opinions pre-digested from some 'authority' figure and won't think past that. I don't agree with Marx's view of the world but he certainly didn't advocate a police state.
If I remember correctly, according to Marx the state was supposed to "wither away," lol. But theory and practice are two different things. Lenin's system is often called "Marxism-Leninism." But I don't pay much attention to ideological labels. Leftism covers them all. I also read this decades ago. Copies are very expensive now.
Let's not forget that Lenin, even though born a Russian, considered Russians to be an inferior race and needing 'supervision'. The differences between Hitler's police state and Stalin's police state were minor ones of formal structure. They both felt they could read the other's mind. German National Socialism vs. Russian National Socialism. World War II began as a race war, like the one the powers that ought-not-be are trying to foment in the U S.
Believe and do not doubt, for he who doubts is like the waves of the sea tossed to and fro and should not expect anything from God. "New Revised Standard Version To everyone who conquers and continues to do my works to the end, I will give authority over the nations;" Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Luke 8:13-15 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away… John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
