Yeah, this is a weapons-grade retarded cope strategy. โDonโt worry, just sit back and let your kids become sexually brutalized tranny faggots, enjoy your environmental contamination, nuclear war, famine, disease, race-based violence and genocide.. because God told you to sit back and take it.. or something. โ
This is absolutely the wrong approach to dealing with real world problems and ensuring a future where your descendants arenโt neutered sex slaves with no free will.
Certain Christian sects need to drop the whole faith doesnโt require works nonsense.
Fucking, THANK YOU!!! I'm so sick of this bullshit mentality. Your works DO matter. That verse about Grace is a Paulism. Jesus said "do not judge least ye be judged" and told the story of the Good Samaritan indicating that what we do does make a difference and is important. Yes, ultimately Jesus is the judge and He will decide on His metrics which he didn't really disclose clearly for a reason.
So many Christians hide behind convenient excuses to avoid discussion and justify their shitty behavior and it need to END. NOW. If you are ending friendships over political or religious disagreements and justify your shitty behavior with "Muh Bible" I suggest you re-read Jesus and STOP after the Book of John.
Not at all, itโs agreement. As u/spiceyfries alluded, our rewards come from more than blind faith thinking God will just fix it. We must work hard to achieve our goals IN FAITH.
And consider this: in a massive expanding Galaxy full of stars and solar systems, on one specific planet in a specific Galaxy, out of 7 billion people and 6 thousand religions, you just happened to score the correct one?
Or maybe God only reveals Himself in more than one way... and this is just your perspective... maybe Faith isn't about believing unconditionally, but what you do with the knowledge you have been bestowed and more importantly, how you use it towards others...
There is no where in the Bible spoken by God or Jesus that even supports the sit back and do nothing. Paulism, sure. But God and Jesus come off the exact opposite. God is a teacher. Not a do-everything-for-you-er.
Do I believe God wins? I believe He expects us to fight like He could lose...

God helps those who help themselves.

ThanksโฆI needed that this beautiful Sunday morning!! ๐๐
I donโt get it. Is this supposed to be some sort of counterpoint to anything I just said?

Agreed 100%. Sorry, I originally took your comment for the usual โdoesnโt matter GOD WINS!โ Arguments I often see here.
People need to understand that faith without works is dead.
God is a teacher. Not a do-everything-for-you-er.
