The following skit is intended for an mature Christian audience only someones faith isn’t easily shaken,
With all the recent surprises, would you be shocked if with the next few months few years you saw in the headlines Tim Cook, mark zuckerbeg etc decide the want to Cancel all Christians.
Tim Cook could say the time has come after the storming of the capital it’s clear the Bible is the origin of this hate. We have mined the important parts out, love everyone don’t be evil but now it’s time to put all the elephant in the room hateful ideas from the Bible behind us.
Too big of a swing. An over reach or a good lay up for
Joe Biden to come in say come on folks here’s the deal can’t cancel all Christians just the doom and gloom stuff. All the hate originates in the twisted view of The doomsday cults who think this is an evil world, and look up to the skies for the vengeful God to come down and smite it. This election was battle for our soul of the nation we see that these doomsday nihilist who don’t believe in science, equal rights for women storming he capitol this is not who we are. We were founded on the pursuit of happiness not hoping the world was going to end with an angry god returning that kind of thinking has no place in America anymore it gets us to distrust our neighbor instead of embracing them to put up walls not to build bridges. The twisted ideas that the world is evil and needs to be punished are peddled by fear mongers, who use division to manipulate good people and the good book you know the one, I’m proud to announce new initiative to ban doom and gloom in all its forms hate speech hate beliefs let’s just put that all out to pasture. John f Kennedy got this nation to the moon be dealing in optimistism, talking about the world is evil, and without hope that won’t help us work out any of our serious problems we face today. Any one or any where that is teaching that will be shut down period. if you hear your neighbor or church say that turn them in. I love you I believe in you, i believe in us.
Jeff durbin goes I Called it. I warned christians not to be doomsday prophets, and not to be Gnostics. I told yo these were the two greatest weakness in the church in america and now god is judging them. Well this is actually a good thing, because the proclamation of gods righteousness will go forth as decreed, and the bad branches of doomsday’s and Gnosticism are being pruned by the hand of god. I called it.
Joe Biden is not right but a broken clock is right twice a day. Christians alive today 2 Milliena after Jesus said it was finished are not supposed to be doom and gloom. Doom of coarse being the left behind beliefs, that Jesus is still waiting to come back to defeat the anti christ all that whack theology, which preterism shows Biblically the end times already happened. And then gloom the Gnostics ideas of dualism and that the world is evil. Which is wrong the earth is not evil, God made it good. It’s only sin that was bad, the devil which was finished at the cross, since then goodness has steadily swept across the globe.
Furthermore I am going to be petitioning Joe Biden, because I have the answer, I need you guys to sign this petition so the White House will see, if they make me the dicipler, I can bibically explain why this two views ought to stand Down, that I can like a hostage negotiator, who loves the word of God, go to these churches, and rather than arrest people and have them be killing time in jail, i will diciple them into the proclaimed fullness of the truth. I can show them through the word of god they ought that to be good productive obedient citizens. People who want to fix this world every bit as the democrats,
End of skit
Doom is the world is going to be judged by a returning vengeful Jesus.
Gloom is the world is wicked until then.
If the devil is shooting flak at doom and gloom, wouldn’t that be because that’s his achielles heel? I mean the heel he’s afraid of dropping on his head. If the devil doesn’t care about domainist delusions, that they can talk all they want about how the evolution of gods righteousness spreading over the world and devil is letting them go unguarded, why?
Joe Biden, and the devil dont’ think that jesus has to come back, to fix things, they think they can manage the property on their own. but why are some Christians, hell bent on telling you forget about doom & gloom.
The devil doesn’t like doom becasue it points to his time being short, loosing his control of the earth, and his imprisonment things he like to cancel.
Here’s how the devil chips away at doom.
Doom is uncomfortable to think about either you are a christian who will have to suffer persecution from an antichrist
Or you are in a delusion thinking the antichrist is god, and then when jesus returns you are damned for taking the mark of the beast
Don’t bring attention to the most embarrassing part of the Bible the failed prophecies.
The devil can tempt you into thinking Jesus and the apostles were failed prophets. Jesus and the apostles told their followers to not even care about worldly things even marriage because Jesus would be returning soon. Yet 2000 years and no returned Jesus. If they were wrong about when Jesus was coming back what else were they wrong about.
the devil can tempt you into the comb over view of prophecy preterism. You will think you fixed problem, but everyone will see you are trying to hide something.
the preterist thinks I am no fool, all the prophecies about the end of the world did happen right on time, just like Jesus and the apostles said. It’s the skeptics who are fools they don’t accept my underwhelming evidendce that prophecies are always exaggerated and underwhelming.
Preterist don’t have a returned Jesus, they can point to. Some preterist says the messiah’s return was the destruction of the temple at 70 ad but making christians everywhere the new temples that idea a deniable messiah you don’t have to look any further into. “So if someone tells you, ‘Look, the Messiah is out in the desert,’ don’t bother to go and look. Or, ‘Look, he is hiding here,’ don’t believe it! For as the lightning flashes in the east and shines to the west, so it will be when the Son of Man comes.
And then at last, the sign that the Son of Man is coming will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the peoples of the earth. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from all over the world —from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.”
Jesus return will be a surprise but it won’t be a secret for long.
Even if Jesus and the apostles thought the return was going to happen sooner than it has, we weren’t left without clues their timing was not precise.““However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.”
2 peter 3
“First, be aware of this: Scoffers will come in the last days to scoff, living according to their own desires, saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? Ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they have been since the beginning of creation.” They willfully ignore this: Long ago the heavens and the earth were brought about from water and through water by the word of God. Through these waters the world of that time perished when it was flooded.“But by the same word, the present heavens and earth are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. Dear friends, don’t let this one thing escape you: With the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. The Lord does not delay His promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance. But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief; on that day the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, the elements will burn and be dissolved, and the earth and the works on it will be disclosed. Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, it is clear what sort of people you should be in holy conduct and godliness as you wait for and earnestly desire the coming of the day of God. The heavens will be on fire and be dissolved because of it, and the elements will melt with the heat. But based on His promise, we wait for the new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness will dwell. Therefore, dear friends, while you wait for these things, make every effort to be found at peace with Him without spot or blemish. Also, regard the patience of our Lord as an opportunity for salvation,
If we believe we’re a child of Abraham, not of the flesh like Ismahel but of the promise like issac. when did Sarah get pregnant how long did they have to wait? Long past it seemed even natural for it to happen, so long, they took matters into their own hands, and the the result was Ishmael. Take Jesus’s death, it looked like all hope was lost, his followers scattered, the prophecy buffs at that time overlooked that the messiah would be killed, the devil thought he’d get to keep God’s vineyard by getting rid of the son,
Hebrews 11.
“These all died in faith without having received the promises, but they saw them from a distance, greeted them, and confessed that they were foreigners and temporary residents on the earth.”
At the end of that chapter of Hebrews this is written
“All these were approved through their faith, but they did not receive what was promised, since God had provided something better for us, so that they would not be made perfect without us.”
I don’t know if Paul and the apostles were promised the world was going to end or if they just saw it from a distance but God knew these words were going to be studied throughout the generations and used the human writers to let studiers of the word know, we gotta have patience and endurance we might not to to the promise land in our life, have faith, God has something better for us, and when it comes it will be even better, because all people of faith throughout time will be united as one when the promise arrives.
Gloom
I heard jeff durbin say that Christians who thought the world was evil got that from the gnostics view of dualsim.
I didn’t come to the conclusion the world is evil because I watched the matrix a bunch or read ancient gnostic texts.
I don’t know for sure what the Gnostics back then believed, nor I am defending them. regardless of the Gnostics, the New Testament over and over again Jesus and the apostles Call the world evil and under the devil’s authority. I’m not quoting gnostic gurus I’m. Reading right out of the Bible.
Gospel of John 7:7
The world cannot hate you, but it does hate Me because I testify about it--that its deeds are evil.
1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world is under the sway of the evil one.
I could go on and on about the Bible saying the world is evil and under the rule of the devil. I have done that in the nightmare gospel. Almost every christian would agree some part of the world was evil during the life of Jesus, and his apostles, but few will go the whole world is under total depravity. It’s always limited evil. Just over there just back then, not here not right now.
Little demon hands cover up believers eyes, making blind spots,
Which is more flesh pleasing evil is everywhere, in the people close to you, even inside of you so be alert, or evil is only way over there, or way back then, so you can relax and enjoy the pleasures of this world, in fact God designed it so you would.
Maybe you are better person than me your flesh has more will power than mine.
I’ll confess here are the reasons I have hold back from going full doom and gloom maniac on the street
Saying the world is evil, makes you unemployable undateable, and you could loose custody, you could be the best worker, but if someone said to your employer look here your employe commited the thought crime of believing the world is evil, the employer would want to distance themselves, those views don’t reflect our values, we think God wants us to make strides in making the world better
kill joy at dating, someone says they likes to laugh, vacations, wine, you go evil evil evil your friends, you so am i, do you want to hang out more,
as a christian you don’t wrestle against flesh and blood, you commanded to be as helpful to others. the best employee parent spouse that you can, but you commit the unpardonable 21 century sin of thought crime
The Bible says we should be joyous so that snaps your whole doom and gloom
Amen even in persecution we should attempt to be joyous and hopefull of how good things will be when Jesus returns, and rights the world. I’m only doom gloom, about humans righting the world before then. I think Jesus refused the third temptation in part for our example.
No one wants to look at the grim reaper hovering over the text. Sometimes I chase frivolous things to forget the doom and gloom.
Even Jesus prayed until he bleed for another way yet was crucified, the apostles martayed, the devil currently is in charge, most people are under evils spell, you have to try and warn them, but they will persecute you for it. It will be confusing because you call it good news, that in the long run they can have immortality in a perfected world, but they only see the short run the doom and gloom, Look at the parables about the seeds in the soil, when you throw seeds you are being spied on by the devil, and he is coming quickly to sabotage that seed from maturing
Turns out I did some research on you and have an alternative explanation why you are doom and gloom that isn’t so noble because your wife didn’t want to around you anymore and so you flock to a burn it all theology because you recklessly handled your role as husband and lost what God gifted you and instead of maturing you become this Christian vandal because you can’t deal with looking at your past mistakes.
I’m usually against divorce but I can sympathize having to be around your doom and gloom cloud I say it a pardonable to get loose from an improper husband.
Our marriage was better when we were following the fire and smoke cloud of God but when we packed away out tent to settle in sodium and Gorma and I tamed down my contrast of the world to camaflounge in is when I lost her to the world
