Realistically, what is it going to take?
Do I need to run for office, claim I'm going to launch all of our nukes at all of our cities/rural areas like an absolute moron, be the equivalent of a person giving a speach/DJ remix, just so once I'm elected for being an absolute dumbfuck, I can finally pass a godamn healthcare and wage bill?
Is this where we are at? Is this what good has to look like now?
I mean 2 Thessalonians 2 talks about this in the end times. Its prophetic.
2 Th 2:11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
it's prophetic
Only if you know nothing about modern history and how many times this sentiment has been "prophetic" about other situations and people...
Do you know what "cold reading" is?
I read into this verse so I thought I'd share my findings:
Seems like what this section of Thessalonians is talking about is: at the end times it's going to look like the bad guys are winning, but this will be an illusion. Any officially licensed Jesus™ will be accompanied by a rapture, so don't listen to anyone claiming to be Jesus™. God is just going to be deceiving the wicked to keep them busy, so they don't suspect anything, and then as soon as someone falsey claims to be Jesus™ (fucks around), whamo, ratpure time, and God's going to send back his authentic hitter Jesus to talk them to death (finds out).
As to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we beg you, brothers and sisters,
not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as though from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is already here.
Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first and the lawless one is revealed, the one destined for destruction.
He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, declaring himself to be God.
Do you not remember that I told you these things when I was still with you?
And you know what is now restraining him, so that he may be revealed when his time comes.
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but only until the one who now restrains it is removed.
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will destroy with the breath of his mouth, annihilating him by the manifestation of his coming.
The coming of the lawless one is apparent in the working of Satan, who uses all power, signs, lying wonders,
and every kind of wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion, leading them to believe what is false,
so that all who have not believed the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness will be condemned.
Man I miss The Bizzible
Wow no way
Surprising no one at all.
I'm sure several Trump voters are surprised.
“very conservative and very good.”
Once again, Trump contradicts himself.
This time he has upped his game by doing it in the same sentence.
So wait, you mean he was lying this entire time? No way!
I'd try to sarcastically fake-gasp, but I'm worried I might inhale my own face
I'm worried I might inhale my own face
It's not the MOST widespread concern ever.. 🤔
I’m not a religious man, but both pictures of Trump makes it look like he has horns.
