By not saying what God said... it leaves questions.

We have been given the mind of Christ (see 1 Corinthians 2:12-16)... and from the Lord's point of view... no, the world is not a place that is overly complicated and confusing.

We are supposed to come out from among them and not walk in that which is unclean - 2 Corinthians 6:17

Sometimes when I says "you ought to get born again and...." and post some verses about who we are in Christ it is to remind people to look at what God says about us and accept it
The world is attached at the hip to Babylon. Babylon means confusion. Babylon itself through the power of entertainment, politics, and false religion, has greatly complicated even the true gospel through deception, obfuscation, and straight out lies. The evidence of that can be seen every day on this forum by the variety of biblical ignorance we read every day.
Surely you wouldn't suggest that because Christians choose to come out of her, somehow improves the world to no longer being confused or over complicated? And surely you wouldn't suggest that those who come out, take the confusion with them?

Feel free to waller around in confusion, complication, and blah, blah, blah whatever.

I'm not of this world and I'm not paying attention to all the blah blah that's going on in the world... I keep my mind on Him and He works things out favorable for me all the time even when people try to damage me in some way... He always causes me to come out better than before!

Hang in their bud... you'll figure this out one of these days IF you stand on His promises and quit letting the world dictate how your life is going to go.

Even if they kill me... it's a win win for me especially then as I'd be going home to be with the Lord! running.gif

Thanks be unto God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ (2 Corinthians 2:14)

No matter what they do, they cannot stop me from being victorious because of the Lord... so I'm with Him and He's not all worried and crying over the garbage going on in this world and you shouldn't be either.

So we are told not to love the world, and rightly so. Doesn't mean we aren't too care about it. I have family in the world. I care that they, their friends and mine, and our neighbours are totally confused and lack any understanding about where the world is heading and what they need to "come out of ", and what they are to come into. But if you want to be arrogant and obnoxious and think the worst of me because I have sympathy for others, then this conversation is over. Ka kite.

Oh I see... those that don't lock step agree with your point of view.... are "arrogant" and "obnoxious" rolleyes3.gif

It's one thing to desire for others to find the Lord and do what they can to help that along... it's quite another to "care" when God's Word specifically tells us the cares of this world is one of the things that chokes God's Word out of someone and causes them to be unfruitful. (see Mark 4:13-20)

You obviously have not looked in scripture to see what the Lord teaches concerning "care"...

1 Peter 5:7
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Philippians 4:6
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.


Care (found in 2 Corinthians 11:28)
from 3307 (through the idea of distraction); solicitude: KJV -- care.

Careful (found in Philippians 4:6, 1 Peter 5:7)
from 3308; to be anxious about: KJV -- (be, have) care(-ful), take thought.

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

Colossians 3:15
Let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

2 Corinthians 10:5
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Psalm 23:4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Psalms 55:22

Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

“10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep."
John 10:10-13 KJV
You wouldn't want to be the hireling would you, of course not. From my reading of the above, it seems that God desires that we care for the sheep. Caring means sympathy, empathy, concern for those in the world suffering because of the sin, confusion, chaos and ugliness that surrounds them. It's got nothing to do with your selective reasoning and trying to score points over another poster because of a remark he made that you saw as an opportunity to exalt yourself over him. Get over yourself.

No no, not at all. Only the obnoxious and arrogant ones.

Yeah, satan always says that about those who stand on God's Word which forces him to flee from their lives.

The 'ol devil loves the ones that question God's Word because he has them deceived.... due to their not believing what God says. Jesus specifically said the care of this world is something choke God's Word out of one's life

I agree with that. And I wasn't saying otherwise.

The Biden administration has allowed thousands of terrorists to pour across our borders in the last four years.
Trump is threatening Hamas with "all hell" if our hostages are not returned before he enters office. (01/20)
We already had a couple of incidents on January 01. We may be in for a very bloody 2025 on our own soil.
Al-Qaeda says, "Bring it on."

Where's the conspiracy? - LOL

[
My father-in-law had a position in the state government that required that he travel to Washington DC to meet with the congressmen. He met informally with one of the senators who had been on the Warren Commission. They were walking around outside, no one within earshot, and my FIL says, "Senator, tell me truth. The Kennedy assassination - was it a conspiracy?" The senator looked around, still nobody who could overhear, and said, "Bill" (and that's not his real name), "it was a conspiracy. But the thing is, the public never guessed the RIGHT conspiracy."

Hmm.

Some hold the opinion it had more to do with JFK, AZC and his enforcing the FARA Act upon Israel that way.

I think that went away when he was shot though.
