Where is your hope, and who do you put your total trust and faith in with making this sinful corrupt world end, to bring about Perfection and Peace?

Answer 1

I believe that Christ is already with us. He can work through us right now to change the things you mention--if we will only let Him. Our own wills are very strong. We have many ways of resisting following Him. One, unfortunately, is to deceive ourselves into believing we must wait for some spectacular return.

Reach out your hand. He is that close. All you need to do is let him work through you.

If you don't believe me, consider how different this world would be right now if all who profess to believe in Christ were actually willing to let Him work through them.

Answer 2

They have no hope. Some still cling to politics, science or the clergy to solve earth's problems. They will all fail. Most know this and scoff at people who do have hope.

They also scoff because men of good will can't see conditions getting worse but they do. As late as 1960, people actually believed the government was always right and would never do anything illegal in nature. My has time changed that!

So these men of good will identify a date when they believe something should happen. It passes but no Armageddon. Whatever did happen, history tells us we will not know until much later. In the meantime, scoffers scoff.

Answer 3

We need to realize, that the future is in our hands. We need to address the serious problems in this world, and stop believing God will intervene, and allow us to not have to be responsible for the mess we are in. God is a good and a moral God, and expect us to contribute positively to addressing the problems of this world, so that we will have a better future. We would be more capable of doing this if our sapiritual ideas were the best and newest, and we also had the best in spiritual training techniques. There is hope in this reality, if we would get the most out of ourselves, along with using God's inspiration and guidance. Escape from this reality or this world or even this universe is not what God would want. This is the reality that counts. Reincarnation keeps us in this reality. Perfection and peace lack challenge, and are not healthy states of mind. We must have exercise for the spirit. The world could be pretty good, and still remain very challenging, trying to keep it that way.

Answer 4

Everything you listed can be fixed without the help of magical powers. Your faith dictates that you believe Jesus will come down out of the sky and save the day, kind of like a superhero. In fact, Christians often proclaim it has to get worse before he decides to pay us a visit. This seems to suggest that atrocious activities are the lifeline of your savior. This is the problem with your ideology. You rather sit back and wait on a mythical superman. You have faith in this superman, but not faith in yourself (after all, your are nothing but a lousy good for nothing sinner).
Christianity has had ample amount of time to create and inspire a better world, yet when one follows the historic time-line of the Christian movement, we are left witnessing the oppisite.
Humans created the problems and they can fix them just as well. YOU possess everything needed to fix and help improve society and the world you live in. Waiting around for things to get worse in order to allow your "God" to come and fix everything is ignorant and the ultimate deceit needed to stunt our spiritual growth and to lead us into self-annihilation.

Answer 5

Your salvation will turn one-third of the sea red and kill all but your particular sect. You are the doomsdayers here.

You have no interest in maintaining the world because you think Jesus will turn up. On the other hand, we who realise that we will have to bring up our children in this world have an interest in actually improving things.

Answer 6

So you end Death, Hunger, Poverty, Global Warming, Pollution, War, Pain, Sickness, Depression, whatever "Sim" is and Immorality....

By a massive extinction event that your Bible predicts will bring about all those things on a HUGE scale. They call it a "Tribulation" because it's rather unpleasant.

Answer 7

They are a FULFILLMENT of prophecy. It increases my faith seeing it. The perfect system WILL be established ON EARTH. "thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth". We HAVE the initial elements of the kingdom now, and did so since Messiah was here, BUT the full fruition is about to come forth. Yahweh will laugh at the scoffers, and if you have HIS SPIRIT, you should to.

Answer 8

too many horror flicks, i guess. you know ... in the movies no one believes in the witch's evil spell and then all kinds of spooky gory stuff starts happening. then the movies ends and it's all just special effects.

and with Bible prophesy it's all so vague and cryptic you can read anything you want into them. most "prophesies" are like that... conveniently.

Answer 9

I think that the prophesies in the bible have absolutely nothing to do with any events, past or future.

Answer 10

I don't pray, or look, or hope.

I DO what I can here and now in this world, because this world is all there is.
