I for one am working towards that goal. I am completely convinced that obedient mankind will one day inherit earth since the Bible makes it very clear that this is God's will. At Psalms 115 verse 16 we read: "as for the heavens they belong to Jehovah, but the Earth he has given to the sons of men." I look to the day when man will be living at peace on Earth. I look to the day when there will no longer be any crime or violence nor terrorism. I look to the day also when we will be surrounded by our loved ones to never lose them to death, based on the hope of the everlasting life that God who cannot lie promised long ago. Titus 1:2 less
After thousands of years of human rule, man has proven its inability to change the world. As sincere as their efforts have been the root of the problem is not of human nature. (1john 5:19)

Then, like the low life coward that he is, he puts on an act pretending he has no idea of their whereabouts. I can't begin to imagine what the victim's families are going through. He fits the bible's description of the conduct of many individuals. "But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers,..having no natural affection, .."(2timothy 3:1-5) the day of the destruction of the wicked is fast approaching. less

Accept it or not, you are maligning Christianity when it is Christendom to blame for everything you hate about Christianity. And NO they are not one and the same! One day soon you and the rest of all who oppose the truth will realize the difference.. believe or not as the unabashed atheist you boast to be, bible prophecy indicates the end of this system of things is imminent. At that point is when all will be revealed. Whatever response you add, will not be addressed. You have your mindset, and i respect that. less

"I well know, O Jehovah, that man's way does not belong to him. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step. (Jeremiah 10:23)
Actually it does. But you refuse to believe it. The answer is simple, it doesn't take rocket science. The answer to mankind's problems does not originate here on earth. No man, no political persuasion has the solution to earth's woes.

Sad that the one that has the ability to satisfy all the needs of any human is rejected, because to begin with most refuse to acknowledge his existence. The prophet Isaiah wrote this about this perfect leader "For a child has been born to us, A son has been given to us; and the rulership will rest on his shoulder. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. To the increase of his rulership and to peace, there will be no end, on the throne of David and on his kingdom in order to establish it firmly and to sustain it through justice and righteousness, from now on and forever. The zeal of Jehovah of armies will do this."

With technology being what it is today, it is not so hard to understand how Jehovah communicated his thoughts to humans so they in turn could write down what he transmitted to them.

For prophecy was at no time brought by man's will, but men spoke from God as they were moved by holy spirit." (2 Peter 1:20,21) less
That very well may be part of his problem. Alcohol is usually involved when someone makes a fool of himself. "Wine is a ridiculer, alcohol is unruly; whoever goes astray by them is not wise." (Proverbs 20:1)
The fact that God has allowed the horrible events to unfold bears nothing on his being all knowing as well as all powerful. It's a matter of reasoning in the matter as well as respecting the bible as the authority on this subject.

While the existence of herod the great is supported by not only secular sources, but especially because the bible speaks of him, the quotation in question may not exist.

The world marches on intently ignoring and denying the one they need the most. The majority have convinced themselves of his nonexistence, not wanting to acknowledge him because they think they have too much to lose.

It does not brag, does not get puffed up, does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep account of the injury.

Christendom's missionaries brought shame and reproach to God's name and the sanctity of his Word. Because of their abhorrent behavior many have rejected the life saving message.

When I walk into these meetings I leave the outside world behind and step Into a world most don't believe exists. I can go to my meetings knowing I will come away spiritually refreshed and fortified to face the day to day challenges and hardships I may encounter.
