What is wrong with Earth and this life?

Question

I feel like there is just so much injustice, unfairness, malice, poverty , cruelty and so many other negative things wrong with this life. Why is it like this? I'm trying not to be a bitter cynic . there is absolutely a large volume of good and wonderful things - majestic landscapes,worldly pleasures,music,literature,beautiful woman or whatever youre into- but I personally think the negative outweighs the positive by far. I'm kind of hoping God-I know theres people who dont believe but I could care less -will intervene and rectify this utter mess. There is little part of me which kind of wishes pernition on earth for all our evils and foibles.Could we be living in the end times? Maybe I am just being a cynic. What do yall think?

Answer 1

The world is only terrible where people have tampered with it. And I do think the end times are near.

Answer 2

This life is seriously screwed up with much distractions, evil, propaganda, and everything in between. The problem with this life, is that God did not intend on this to happen, He didn't want it to exactly happen this way. To understand this you must go to the very beginning. God obviously is God, and can do what He wants and is all sovereign, so it brings the question of why in the world are we even here? Well, if I were God, (good thing I'm not) I would be rather bored sitting in nothing, and being the light to nothing, and then eventually making angels, but He wanted something more. He made us in His image. What does that mean? Yes, we are "like" Him. But much more importantly, the very reason that God made us, is our purpose in life, and we strive for it. See, God made is in His image in the sense that God wanted a loving relationship where love is given whole heartedly and love is returned whole heartedly. The only that this was going to be possible is if we had free will. Therefore God had to give us an option to love Him or something else, and as we know how the story goes, Adam chose another love besides God. Since then, we handed over the rule to satan. We also now are enthralled in a society that desperately searches for long lasting fulfillment in worldly things, that they would pour their love into something and hope that it would reciprocate back to them. All humans do this because we are all in God's image. But when others decide to act that way, their decisions consequences aren't solely on them, we all feel the effects of everyone else's decisions. This is what has happened because of Satan and man. But God is still sovereign, and He can vitally intervene at anytime He wishes. There are times that He does. We could be living in the end times I guess, I honestly don't think it's any worse than what we have seen in history's past. The only difference is what we find culturely excepted. Culture is trying to tell us that materialism is ok, and that homosexuals should be excepted and that you are born that way. If it was always that way, why has it been so culturely ridiculed for thousands of years? Yet, thousands of years ago, polygamy was a commonly pracitced sin, and culturely accepted as well.

Answer 3

You are right, and "The World" is going to get worse, according to the bible.



BUT, you can get off the sinking ship and into the fellows-ship of the one who sets free from sin, fear and death and brights a new vision, a new life . . . His.



Here's part of the text from a leaflet that thousands of people have already received:



Is life just a playground ?



That's what life is for many people . . . an enclosed time,

with mood-swings, social climbing and sliding, and a merry-go-round

to give you the sensations of busyness.



Then maybe you can show children the way to play.



But if there's another life, don't you want to know ?



You may have heard rumours of a heavenly father,

perfect love and knowing the truth instead of opinion . . .

are these true ? . . . people called "seers" and "prophets"

have put these ideas about, and Jesus Christ says that you

must be born again to see the truth for yourself.



What do you see ?



* * * * *



Start with yourself.

Get yourself right.

Only then can you be truly happy and help others.

Answer 4

Yes, there is much evil in the world today. And the Bible explains why:



1 John 5:19

"We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one."



Who is this "wicked one?"



Revelation 12:9, 12

"So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him."



"On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time."



What is Jehovah going to do about it?



Revelation 21:1, 3-4

"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea is no more."



"With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: "Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."



Do I think we're in the end times? Yes. Here is all the info you need: http://www.watchtower.org/e/20080801/article_02.htm

I really hope that I answered your question to the best of my ability and read it, even through it was kinda long! Have a great day!

Answer 5

Isaiah 24



1Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

2And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

3The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.

4The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish. (KING JAMES VERSION)



Some words are mistranslated such as the word 'maketh' of the first verse should be 'allows.' Yahweh, the Heavenly Father is not a destructive being and does not curse the earth, humans do. The prophecies of the Bible are being fulfilled left and right. The earth is cursed with a curse because of sin: the hatred of other people.

5The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

6Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

costly Harithaji... stable question. My answer.....A bend in a street isn't end of the line. Adi Sankaracharya replaced into as quickly as asked, 'who's the real Guru?'

A saint is a man or woman who renounces worldly possessions for the individuals. he's a residing occasion, a residing tension. One ought to think of, ‘If he can love all of us, why won't be able to I?’ ‘If he could be so impartial why won't be able to I?’ If he has conquered anger, why have I no longer?’ it incredibly is like arithmetic. there will be a form sum. something of the sums we could desire to resolve on our very own. we prefer no longer hardship approximately Hinduism through fact Hinduism -in keeping with dharma and everlasting actuality. Hinduism teaches recommendations,no longer persons. Nithyanandha cheated the individuals with the help of using Hinduism. yet Hinduism taught him a actuality that 'actuality exists; in basic terms lies are invented and A actuality is often waiting for it is breakout' . there's a time factor for all happenings in this worldwide. while the perfect time arrives, consequences will immediately show up.

Answer 7

What does God get out of cleaning up a mess that he created? What do we get for being a science project and having to deal with it all? Who knows these things. I like to think that things happen by chance, and if there is more inanity than decency in the world than these things likely won't get better by looking away from the true problems that humanity faces: negligence, docility, being puppetd for the rich and powerful, etc.

Here is a quick tid bit for you.



Jhn 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.



The word for "loved" is agapaō. It is based in "agape love" this love of darkness.

Answer 15

One can help make the world a better place by praying the rosary daily for the conversion of sinners, as the Virgin Mary has recommended. See the following promises.



The rosary is explained here:

http://www.sancta.org/rosary/how.html



The fifteen promises of Mary to Christians who recite the rosary:

1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary shall receive signal graces.

2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.

3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against Hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.

4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.

5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.

6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries, shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God and become worthy of eternal life.

7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church.

8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces; at the moment of death, they shall participate in the merits of the saints in Paradise.

9. I shall deliver from Purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.

10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven.

11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.

12. All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.

13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire Celestial Court during their life and at the hour of death.

14. All who recite the Rosary are my sons, and brothers of my only Son, Jesus Christ.

15. Devotion to my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.



God bless!
