As concerning as it is for what is come, I've properly prepared my finances and am completely out of the banks except for cash that I need.
I've tried my best to warn people for the shit storm that is coming. And of course, we get the side-eye bullshit, even when we were obviously right about covid and vax. Let's not mention the many "conspiracy theories" that became reality.
I find myself hoping that people will get wiped the fuck out so that they can finally learn and accept the reality that we already know. I feel wrong about this, but I've tried my damn best to warn and inform. It isn't really working, as most of you already know.
"You can't tell them the truth, you must SHOW them the truth. "
What a great quote and another truth that I didn't know until I witnessed how stupid and unremarkable people really are during this global psyop.
I feel wrong that I feel this way, waiting for the wipe-out moment. It isn't a " I told you so" that I feel vindicated about, it is the sheer ignorance and complete pride people have in themselves without considering any other view or evidence.
They are going to come to me for help. I already know it. I've done pretty well and in a good position, but what do you do as a Christian when you've tried to warn, inform, and politely give facts about what is the truth? With furthermore, given the side-eye, insultingly being disregarded at every single turn, laughed at, even when the truth about covid is already out there?
I am completely disgusted with family members and friends. Their info is so shitty and they still can't see that they were lied to on every single level. I'm the crazy person in my family, like a lot of you. I'm not sure how to handle this when it comes time.
What do you do here?
Do you say "no"? Or, "you didn't fucking listen to me and now you want help"? It's hard to do and I don't know how to go about this.
There are a variety angles on the issue you bring up. As Christians we have instructions on how to respond to or act with regards to a "brother" who has sinned against us, and then we have another criteria for how we interact with our "enemies". In neither case are we called to be cold and hateful, but there is a distinction in our responsibilites towards each category of people.
We must also counter balance the call to be merciful and serving others against the call to see to our own household first. It will be a matter of wisdom and common sense, but playing out potential scenarios ahead of time is useful to have action plans in place.
This is where I'm confused. I'm not a Bible scholar by any means, but I see that Jesus healed and showed mercy to just about anyone. The worst of the sinners. I'm trying to take that into context with my life.
Am I supposed to forgive everyone for everything without them repenting? I know Jesus called for those he healed to repent, but he acted first.
So forgive first, them influence them to change? People just don't change from my experience.
This is where I am completely confused as to how to act from a Biblical standpoint.
The really hard part is forgiving the extreme sinners - Hillary Clinton, for example. If you can find it in your heart to forgive HER - and realize that judgement is the Lord's - then you can start to heal, and find compassion for others that seemingly don't deserve it.
Feeling compassion for someone like her is kind of liberating. We need to tend our own garden of sin before judging others, and pray for God's guidance in all things.
I'm only human, I don't always practice what I preach, but I try.
interesting your point "forgive those who repent" and i agree completely...but what i would expect is that their arrogance in this lead-up to shtf, will fully continue, without repentance and with demanding...thinking about the prodigal son, the son returned to the father fully repentant, and deserving of forgiveness...i guess the critical question will be what to do for the arrogant/demanding situation, and i do not have an answer for that one...
