A Better Life—Soon!
71 Answers
A much better life will come soon! We can be sure of that because the Bible says that many bad things would happen on earth just before it to usher in a better life. Those bad things are happening now.
Jesus Christ foretold some highly significant aspects of what is happening today. The Bible does not say that any one feature, such as a marked by a change in people would by itself be proof that we are in the time of the end and that a better life is near. The Bible’s prophecies is about a time of the end were to be fulfilled upon a godless world. Luke 17:26, 27.

Most daydreams, though, seem to focus on ordinary everyday events—school, social gatherings, homework. At times people may deliberately conjure up such thoughts to break the boredom of a dull day lecture or the tedium of a household chore. Other daydreams come spontaneously. A word, a sound, or a visual image suddenly reminds them of some current concern, some past delight, or some future exploit, and their mind starts wandering. The Bible says: “For a dream certainly comes in because of abundance of occupation.” (Ecclesiastes 5:3) Indeed, one who is preoccupied with personal concerns and ambitions may be virtually consumed by materialistic daydreams.

But do they? They may be sincere and think they do. But
Jesus said: “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. 22 Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ 23 And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness.” - Matthew 7 v 21 - 23
The Churches do not teach what God’s will is. They teach what they want, and in many cases it is not what the Bible teaches. For example, they advocate war and homosexuality.

Can you honestly say that you have not been warned?
We have before us the same appearance of things as in Noah’s generation. Note how the majority ignore, scoff at or ridicule the message borne by noah.
Today, Many are absorbed in their own day-to-day living and long-range planning. God and his purposes with regard to humankind and this earth do not even enter their minds. Many people claim to be Christians and belong to some religious denomination, but only for the convenience and the so-called respectable image it gives them in modern society.
They simply ‘take no note’ of the warning and must therefore take the consequences. But what about you? Will you wisely heed the signs of the times? No, so you go with them.

Oh, you mean just like when your supposedly infallible God messed it up the first time and decided to start again. You never know, with a bit of luck if he keeps trying, he might get it right eventually. Practice makes perfect - or so 'they' say. ;o)

@Elderman - It is saddening to me that there is a whole bunch of people on this planet, who, through the faith, want nothing more than armageddon - annihilation, in the frankly absurd belief that the true believers will be "saved" by a mythical deity - a deity created by man to explain the frightening world around them.
Its teachings are medieval. Its morality is prehistoric, and its more zealous believers prone to lecture the rest of us - threateningly and/or patronizingly.
Its teachings, at a fundamentalist level, allow for no true appreciation of the marvels of the universe, and downplay our own species achievements.
Its just a pity that such believers do not spend more time in meditation, and less time in plagiarising and passing off others work as their own.

@Jno - "I frequently quote directly from Wikipedia. This does not make me either a wikipedian or a liar. Please do not throw personal absue around."
Really? So you quote from wiki without attribution do you? cut and paste? The majority of your posts are like that are they? If so - if you are cutting and pasting, without any attribution, then that makes you as bad a plagiarist as Elderman. Trying to pass off legitimate criticism of ones rhetorical devices as personal abuse shows either an extremely thin skin or a willingness to defend any underhand tactic if it supports your own position. Pathetic, frankly.

jno is a stalwart defender of 'Site Rules', and is often very vocal on the subject. However, it would appear that believers are exempt.
