Faith and Punishment?

Question

The Christian faith has collapsed in the world over the last fifty to seventy years. Churches have apostatized and even "devout" Christians are in error. Only an act of God can save the faith now.
Before this decade is over the chastisement from God will be seen. The Punishment will be severe.

I am not talking about the end times. The end is still two or three centuries away. I am talking about a punishment that will usher a time of peace.

Exodous: prohesies from christian individuals. No one knows when the end times will occur but a period of peace will occur in this century, so it has to be after this century.

Answer 1

Devout Christians have always been in error.

'God' doesn't act nor does 'God' punish. You're believing in a biblical bogeyman.

Answer 2

Faith has not collapsed....it exist in the hearts and minds of every individual, from every faith - whether they call the creator, God, Jehovah, or Allah.

Faith doesn't go away just because times get tough and our lives are shaken....it is FAITH that sustains us and heals us...it is FAITH that carries us through the tough times...and it is FAITH that will keep the FAITHFUL uplifted during the times of trial and the naysayers who spout negativity.

If all you choose to see is negativity, that's all you will see.Stop lamenting what's wrong, start celebrating what's right and good....there's a lot of good out there if you look for it.

Answer 3

How do you know the end is 2-3 centuries away? How do you know the things that you are saying?

Answer 4

Resurrection, Soul, spirit and death.

Luke 8:50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him,
saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
Luke 8:52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said,
Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. Luke 8:54 And he put
them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying,
Maid, arise. Luke 8:55 And her spirit came again,
and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
REAL RESURRECTION: 1Cor.15:22 For as in Adam all die,
even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
SPIRIT: Num.16:22 And they fell upon their faces, and said,
O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin,
and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation.
Isa.42:5 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens,
and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth,
and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath
unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
SPIRIT RETURNS TO GOD:
Eccl.12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as
it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
SPIRIT RETURNS TO RESURRECT THE DEAD:
Psm.104:29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled:
thou takest away their breath,
they die, and return to their dust.
Psm.104:30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created:
and thou renewest the face of the earth.
DEATH: Psm.49:14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave;
death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have
dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty
shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
DEATH: Psm.146:3 Put not yourtrust in princes,
nor in the son of man,in whom there is no help.
Psm.146:4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth
to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
Psm.115:15 Ye are blessed of the LORD
which made heaven and earth. Psm.115:16 The
heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's:
but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
Psm.115:17 The dead praise not the LORD,
neither any that go down into silence.
EARLY ON EARTH RESURRECTION:
Acts 2:31 He seeing this before spake of the
resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not
left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
Matt.27:52 And the graves were opened; and many
bodies of the saints which slept arose, Matt.27:53;
And came out of the graves after his [Jesus],
resurrection, and went into the holy city, and
appeared unto many.
EARLY HEAVENS RESURRECTION:
Rev.6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal,
I saw under the altar the souls of them that
were slain for the word of God, and for the
testimony which they held:
Rev.6:10 And they cried with a loud voice,
saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true,
dost thou not judge and avenge our blood
on them that dwell on the earth?
Rev.6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them;
and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for
a little season, until their fellowservants also and their
brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be
fulfilled. John 6:39,40,44[raised up at last day];
1Thes.4:15-17; Rev.1:7; Acts 1:9-11; Jesus coming.
SOULS:
Souls are created as Adam and Eve.
Souls are now born in sin because of these.
Souls are resurrected to salavations and made free.

2Pet,3:13; Isa.65:17; 66:1,22; Rev.21:1-5. 2-:1-6,12,13; There will be a new heavens and a new earth.
