Been second guessing my thoughts on God...maybe I was wrong...

With everything going on in the world...I'm starting to think my agnostic viewpoint wasn't right and we are approaching end times. Anyone else have these thoughts lately?

I never understand people who claimed that there is no God . I could understand the mindset where you'd say I just don't know if God exists or not.

Have you listened to anything by Jordan Peterson? His take on religion is something I believe wholeheartedly

You don’t have to believe in a magical sky wizard to admit that there is a lot of wisdom in Christianity. Western civilization was built around Christianity so it’s no surprise that everything is falling apart now that religion has been thrown to the wayside. God is dead.

What’s your feelings about Poseidon or Thor? What about the Indian elephant god Ganesha? Are you agnostic about them as well?

Everything is going to be fine. There are no end of times until something destroys the Earth or it's ability to sustain life.

If a God is real, it isn't something religion has picked up on yet. All of that is just fairy tales. God that is all knowing and powerful, yet makes mistakes a few times and has to start again? Not a God I would want to worship. If I die and I'm staring God in the face and he tries to "punish" me for the life I lived, which is so far a relatively good one, I'll tell him to go phuck himself. I refuse to believe that someone who has no direct presence in my life has the right to judge or control me. I'd rather be destroyed and have zero existence than follow an absent creators rules.

Loss of faith is equating to a lot of moral degradation. If you have to guess if God is real then you do not have faith.

Even the bible stated that there are more than one Gods.

I believe in the God of the bible and the Torah but I respect all faiths

Seek salvation from BrosefMengele, our misc prophet.



On a srs note, i've had the same thoughts. I'm not necessarily going to become a firm believer in a religion, but I want to become more spiritual after observing the chit show that is 2020.

This. Almost every culture has accepted the duality of good and evil, light and dark etc.
There is no doubt whatsoever that pure evil exists in this world. Whether you want to believe that pure good or light exists as well is up to you, but I don’t understand atheists when there are so many examples of pure evil existing in this world

Shouldn't this thread be in R&P?

It's okay OP to feel at these times like there's other things at work that are bigger than yourself. Don't get swept up in the "end times" hype tho. That gets declared every five minutes lol

This.

Ben Shapiro's book "The Right Side of History" was a good read. Setting aside the actual religious component the world that was built upon Judeo-Christian values and Greco-Roman ethics is responsible for virtually all the advances we've seen in the world. We should not throw it aside so quickly.

He is actually one of the people responsible for my change of thought. I'm reading "How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps" and the dude is making a lot of sense.

2 Timothy 3:1-7 (KJV) This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.






Sound familiar misc?
Isaiah 45:22-23. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

BrosefMengele is something else.

Do it brah.

Every successful people believe in some form of a higher power. Even most scientists believe that there is a God so I am not going to listen to some 19 years old with an Internet access to tell me that God doesn't exist .

If you first acknowledge to him that you believed he suffered on that cross for us, then ask him to live within you, you'll be changed.
I know who I am. And after all these years, there’s a victory in that.

Was gonna tell you this is a rep but I'm on spread. You're almost there. You're on the cusp of being saved and changing your life. Accept Jesus into your heart as your Lord and Savior and you shall have everlasting life. Forget what man says, hear the word of God.

Good luck.

God is real, God is waiting on his people to believe on him. All the worldly signs are pointing to that. Its sad that some will but a lot won't. Its written that during the end times it will be hard to find a God fearing person.

I understand how you feel. I hate the suffering of human beings in this world too and I wish I had an answer why God is allowing it
Maybe someone who is more knowledgeable in this topic can chime in.

You don't actually believe Jesus is in you but "the third person", a "distinct person" from Jesus who is a spirit. That's the devil.

Its just an election year, srs. When November rolls around life will return to normal. They're stoking it up to get rid of an 'anti establishment' other side of the same establishment candidate.
