Thanks.

The Lion will lay down with the Lamb is not just talking about animals.

I left as well, but I still mostly vote republican only because they are the lesser evil. Not me. Democrats love war as long as the bombs are made by LGBTQ people and are environmentally friendly. They also tend to get their morality from their politics, which I find obnoxious. At least non-MAGA republicans don’t assume they are morally better than you just because you disagree with their tax policies.

Not really. The separatists whined, cried, held their breath till they passed out and demanded a vote because they were sure they’d win. https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6810424 They did not win.

Totally fair

That worries me. 95% of LDS are way too hard on themselves. What more do you want from them?

Don’t we live in a constitutional republic?

Understand this totally. I’m a convert and I live in Florida, so I’m unaware of social norms and all the prophecies/teachings that the church has had.

Jazz fans-you got one of our guys. Good luck!

Missed this. Agree 10,000% again.

Yup, all true. Utah is famous for MLM schemes, anti depressant use and affinity fraud. It’s very sad.

Yup.

Sure. The world is a complicated place, and there are people who are struggling. Agree. That’s where we agree-sort of. The world would be a better place if we followed the gospel, but even people who follow those rules religiously (pun intended) will still have problems like depression, loved ones dying, etc. But, and like I said, I know it’s a bitter pill, there are people out there (both religious and not) who are actually happy.

I used to think that everyone was living with sadness and anxiety. After all, Thoreau said it best when he said “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation.” I was wrong. While bad things happen to everyone, many people lead happy, fulfilled lives. It might be a bitter pill for some to accept-but life isn’t full of despair and dread for a lot of us.

Like someone else here said ( @Vort, I think) Satan laughs when war begins.

@JohnsonJones, I’m praying for your health bro.

Devastating. 😞

Yet another war begins

Okay. I feel like I was, so it’s best for me to move on.

to repeat myself-I actually do believe in a fairly literal interpretation of the book of revelation. I don’t worry about it in the least though. I’m more worried about my day to day salvation than I am about speculation of what it’s currently going on.

I think I was clear enough in my responses with what I think will happen. I’ve heard the Chicken Little stuff so many times before that it’s become tiresome. If you wake up every day saying “Today is the day I’m going to die” eventually you’ll be right, so you can pat yourself on the back when it finally happens I guess. Same sort of thing here. 1. conflict begins in the middle east. 2. Christians attribute it to end times prophecy. 3. the conflict eventually dies down. 4. we’re still here. Things settle down and we move on to new news stories to worry about. 5. conflict begins in the middle east. 6.Christians attribute it to end times prophecy. And so on. I think God will hold us accountable for every time we claim prophecy and we are wrong. It is maybe the number one thing a believer/church can do to make people stop believing. Claim prophecy, be shown you are wrong, than have the audacity to do it again in six months. I wouldn’t believe in your faith either if that happened.

I believe God will make it very clear to all people when time is up, yes. Will there be signs? Sure. Do I believe Christians read way too much into an very unstable area? Absolutely.

Okay.
