A couple wees ago a comedian I follow, brought up a verse from the Holy Bible.
2 Timothy 3.
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power.
This was Put Forth by a comedian. but it isn't funny. It lays out exactly what is going on right now
There are Sumerian clay tablets from 4000 years ago that state that the world is becoming awful, the youth are weak and decadent, and that society is doomed.
For as long as there have been old farts, old farts have been afraid of change. I suspect we'll be alright.
“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”
“Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
I will gladly accept your TC money and possessions and serve as proof that you have abandoned worldly desires :P
We've been in the last days since Jesus' death. That being said, as you can tell based on some of the responses above, posting truth here is pearls before swine.
Those Sumerian tablets you are referencing are post-flood records. It may already be too late for us. I hope there is a modern day Noah type to save some of us.
