What can we do now before it's to late?

Yes, if we really try with all that we have, I believe then that God will add what we lack. If, however, we don't try because we are sure we cannot make it, then we won't.

"For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath." Matt 13:12
 
Of course the Good Lord made the women foolish; He made them that way to match the men! Women's suffrage movements (read feminism) began because of perceived oppression. How is it a court Judge can render decisions regarding guilt, yet cannot vote because she, in the male tradition, lacks the ability to determine who makes the better politician? It is said that opposites attract. That may work in electricity, but not so much in relationships unless the two work together. Shocking, but true.

You should not be so hard on women. Foolishness is what t they do. But, then they go around almost naked. That's really smart......ya think. Ya, shows allot of savvy.

How ridiculous. PEOPLE are foolish---both males and females.

Your are a fair weather Christian. Hugs to you. Evil prospers when good men do nothing. Think about the Lords prayer; on Earth as it is in Heaven. We will never make it but we must try That is the litmus test we face.

Wow! Do you think praying for them is nothing?! Really?!
 
Not sure what the exact issue is here...

But what we can do before it's too late is always let Jesus light shine before men not put it under a bushel. Do what Jesus commissioned us to do - spread the gospel. If they don't want to hear it, shake the dust off your feet and move on. There may be plenty who've been burned out by sin and DO need to hear it.

Ask God to send you or put you in the path of people that do. Also remember the angels rejoice over one sinner who repents, and he will look after the sheep that went astray. Don't be weary in well doing, you will reap what you sow in due time.

I just want to encourage you.
And..well, I think that if you own a tv, get rid of it. Just a waste of time watching an idol, which is what most tv is. Remember David Wilkerson, the preacher? He got rid of the his tv and look what a ministry he had. He went to NYC and reached out to ghetto kids he didn't waste time watching made up stuff on tv that glorifies sin.

i can't recall how many years since i told anyone about what I believe....no, i lie, it was 3 mths ago...so mate I have just prayed for someone to bump into....i am home-bound so a little limited
 
The Lost world has nothing to do with God's kingdom
By nature the world does what it does In its own will

We see no reflection of Christ by looking at the world

The world has chosen to permit abomination marriage

As for the church it has nothing to do with this abomination marriage.
We can see the world and the church and see the difference and which is which.
 
I have learned a bitter lesion, Benito. I can believe in my core values and all.....in the shadow of God, of course. However, it is quite another thing to have a negative attitude. One of bashing and searching out ways to be rude. Forgive me God. Help me to be stronger but kinder. My thoughts about women specifically are I fear too colored by the fact that in 60 plus years I have not found but two good examples of what I consider to be a love chapter woman, a Godly woman. and one that is not out to prove that Eve ,once she ate the apple, was really a saint and the men are the bases of all that is wrong in the world when it could be that the opposite is true.

Simple, but complex!

We can talk around the details and be wrong because we don't understand the big picture. The big picture is not man's or woman's picture, but God's. You @ dh charles mention that it was better prior to 2008 and probably it was, but I could say the same about "prior to 1958" and probably be correct.

Being correct on the small details will be meaningless if we fail to see God's big picture and get His help in properly placing ourselves in it:

"Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." Prov 29:18

"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:" I Cor 13:12

If we do not become part of that we and remain so until the end of course with Him, where will we be at that end?

Help us dear, Lord!

You are certainly right amadeus2. However, how do you deal with people that are diluting the meaning of honesty and common sense, like one is here, I believe. If this is continued will not Gods word be prostituted?

Jesus saw more than you do and more than I do. One verse simply says, "Jesus wept" [John 11:35]

In another as he was being led to the cross where he knew he was to die he said,

"... Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children." Luke 23:28

Do we need to defend ourselves or to take action every time against people who walk in error or even against people who are, or seem to be, actively working against God?

"He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3:18

He is already condemned. If we cannot do anything else but pray for him, then pray.

As to "common sense" to whom would seem to be common sense for Jesus who had the power to walk away from the cross unharmed to rather submit himself to torture and death? One a person might often name as common sense quite often will directly oppose God's will. Consider the case of the prophet Hosea and his God directed marriage to a harlot.

When I was in sales, many centuries ago, I learned that one does not point out the failings of a persons 'product'. What you want to do is show them how your product is so much better. That way you are not pointing out how dumb they were for choosing it, saving their feelings, and it allows them to see a better choice...
If we stomp gays, feminists, JWs, drug users, pedophiles, whatever...all we're doing is showing them how BAD they are...Then they resent us and our gospel, and will automatically refuse it. So what do you want? Do you want people going to hell? Or do you want to see them saved and spend eternity in heaven with us and our Jesus?
Then you have a choice....Love them and see them saved, or show them contempt (hate) and let them burn.
 
I will.
I write but it keeps disappearing.. I think my tremors somehow gives the keys information to delete all???????????
