Since you were not clear on the particular stats that you are referring to in that comment, (it helps if you are more specific) here are some stats on the state of the world that I believe is going to end......and needs to. Since man can't fix the problems of desperate humanity that he created, then God must. He says he will....but you don't have to believe it for it to take place.
Tell 68 million people that everything is going to be OK.....
Forced displacement above 68m in 2017, new global deal on refugees critical
I wear it because I see what the Bible predicts taking place before my eyes. Again, if you can't see it, that is nothing to do with me.
I do at every opportunity.....like Jesus did. Not because I am perfect, but because people are often not aware of how far Christendom has strayed from the teachings of Jesus Christ.
I don't do it for those who couldn't give a hoot. But not everyone is in that category.
For those who actually know what the Bible says (rather than those who just assume that they do) it's not hard to identify the wheat from the weeds. Just as it is easy to tell the difference between a well behaved and disciplined child from a spoiled brat.
Like all counterfeits, some are easy to pick, some not so easy. Does a person need to know what every counterfeit looks like to pick one?.....or do you just have to know what the real one looks like and compare.
Judaism was also broken up into sects when Jesus walked the earth....he dissed them all.
And here again you judge the situation in ignorance. What do you know about the personal circumstances of those children who reject the orthodox treatments (also very painful and involving a lot of suffering) Do you have personal experience? Or just going on what others tell you. If you could speak to those children, as many judges have done, you would understand why the judges who bothered to get some accurate feedback from the children themselves, ruled against forcing such treatment on them. It isn't blood that saves their lives...it simply prolongs the dying process. Can you not respect their right to choose death instead of more suffering?
Ignorance speaks loud with only half a story.
Actually, it is God's personality that I am trying to emulate. I don't do it perfectly, but I know religious hypocrisy when I see it. If I didn't know what the Bible teaches along with a sound knowledge of Bible and secular history, I too could read the Bible on a surface level as many do and come to shallow conclusions. With no attempt to evaluate the times and attitudes of the past, but instead, dragging in present attitudes to judge past actions, I could become a disgruntled atheist too I guess. As they say...."a little knowledge is a dangerous thing". Especially is this true with regard to the Creator and his word.
Ignore it....misinterpret it....dis it...do whatever your heart dictates. We are all shaping our own future. This world will end.....but we determine whether we will end with it. That is what the Bible teaches me.
