You're very early on in your walk and your eyes are not yet fully opened is all. Don't worry about that right now, the Spirit will be working in your heart if you truly have come to Jesus Christ.

True, God made it and said, "that it was good."

Naturally, we are going to like it and at times think that we may miss it later?

It was good until man corrupted it. Now it's dying. Horrific, it's nothing to be happy about.

Well true, sin messed up everything but, I still think God wishes for us to be joyful and enjoy a good life here and most importantly to give him glory.

We live to give glory to God.

That should not be hard for us.

Yes we do!

and enjoy a good life here

Yes, but not yet. That time will come but now isn't the time.

Read the Bible very carefully. This is not yet the time to live in prosperity. The Bible cannot contradict itself, read Luke 6:20-26 and John 15:19.

Now is to suffer the consequences of following Christ. Tomorrow, after Christ returns is the time we live in prosperity.

If you happen to have plenty of resources, it is not for our amusement and good life. We use it to help our brothers and sisters in distress, in great need. These are all instructed to us through the Bible. Rarely preached in churches because they try to sugarcoat the Gospel or make it worldly and that won't work. It won't save anyone.

So what your basically saying is that we shouldn't try to enjoy our lives because thats basically living a good life when your enjoying life. Anyways goodnight all

Alright so i shouldn't love it but i can still Enjoy it basically? Sorry if i'm asking so much i'm just new to Christianity. and currently reading the bible.

Hi Jags, deriving happiness from the world is impossible when you start looking around at countries where human rights are being suppressed and politicians don't care.

For example, in Egypt there are gangs that are targeted at children. They used kidnapped children to gather money by throwing them in the streets in the midst of heat and cold to collect money. And what if the child fails to comply with their humiliation? They torture the child either by heavy beating or burning parts of their bodies or else.

Yes, you heard it right, this disgusting truth, you can also look at USA, where Child Protective Services (CPS) kidnaps children legally from their parents claiming that the parents are not suitable which is mere nonsense they make up to kidnap the child, they use that child later either by finding a family to adopt that child and pay a comission to CPS or whatever.

Look at Pakistan (and Egypt) where Christian girls and especially minors in rural and poor areas were kidnapped, raped and converted forcibly into Islam. Imagine being oppressed financially, socially, gender-wise and in every way and HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANISATIONS DO NOTHING. Because it is not in their interest to oppose Islam or the Islamic community.

Look at those families who lose their children to cancer on a daily basis due to the industrial dishonesty and the usage of chemicals in cleaning/food/other products that are carcinogenic yet scientists don't give a flying crap to stop it. Even worse, some of them defended genetically modified food in the US. You can guess why USA has one of the highest childhood cancer rates.

Can you really see happiness anywhere on this planet? I cannot myself.

Jesus return is CRUCIAL for those suffering humans. The continuous torture they live in will only end on his return. (Not overshadowing our duty in the mean time)

However, one thing you can do is enjoy the good moments, for the sake of your loved ones and for the sake of you being able to keep up with life. Mentally stimulating yourself through doing what you love like photography, gaming, spending time with friends, music..etc. is a good thing to do as it motivates you to push forward.

In short, happiness exists in the short moments, but on the long run, looking around you, you will see that unconditional happiness was gone long long ago.

? Jesus IS life.. If you love him, You love life.

..if you love this world you dont love him.
But contrary to what others are saying there is One reason to desire a delay to his coming that does not violate his love...
And that is the desire to see More saved before he comes..

I feel like i'm getting closer and closer to god every prayer a lot of the bad thoughts have been going away from my mind so i'm very glad thats going well hopefully my dad can come back to Jesus.

That's exactly how it works for many of us, so you're on the right track, and I hope your Dad comes around too. Pray for him and be an example.

There are times we find enjoyment while doing things for the Lord and that's okay.

But enjoyment and "emotional highs" shouldn't be what a Christian should be looking for.

Anyway, you shouldn't force yourself into things you don't want to do. The "Saving Gospel" changes one's heart. If you still crave for the same things everyone does, you still need to keep looking.

If you really knew how things came about in this world built by man, you wouldn't want to have fun from it anymore. Because the innocent blood of many was shed to build this society and still does.

"The work of the Lord is to expose that the works of this world is evil"

This is why the real Jesus will be hated by everyone - John 7:7.

Ignorance is bliss but the truth will set you free. Not many churches preach the truth. It's the sad truth.

I'm not really ready yet i want to Fully become with Jesus same with my dad hes went away from Jesus so id like him to first become back to God. And lastly i don't like the world that we are in i like that i am alive and that God let me be alive.


It's a good thing you want your dad and loved ones to be saved, but I hope you're consistently praying for them to be saved? also you should endeavor to live a life that is worthy of emulation so that they can seek Christ because of what they learn from you. God bless

i'v been with god for almost 2 months and my life has been getting much better with Jesus but is this wrong?

Why wouldn't you want him to return? Don't you know that his return is an awesome and wonderful thing? His return will not ruin the world but vastly improve it! And when you see Christ, you will see the Creator of All Things and your loving, gracious Saviour, the One who died to save you from your sin. How could that not be better, be more amazing, than anything you can know or experience right now? The God of the Universe coming in clouds of glory to end all wickedness and reward the righteous should thrill you, not spoil your joy.

What do you mean by "been with God"?

Jesus said to hate your life: John 12:25 and Luke 14:26
This is the truth, you must hate your own life in comparison to loving Jesus. He must be the most important person in your life, even to death (to have life with Him).

I can sort of see what you're getting at with my own experience, but honestly it really comes down to know Jesus Christ all throughout the Bible and what He teaches us through the Holy Spirit.
You should want Jesus to come because if you truly follow Him, you would know what He has in store for His people is much better than it is here. This world is so chaotic that we are very near the days of Noah and Lot, where lawlessness is almost too great and yet is great in certain places in the world.
Learn as much as you can about Jesus Christ, wash your mind with His Word (the Bible): Romans 12:2

Well, if one wanted a good reason for Jesus to wait on returning, this would be it. Desiring that your loved ones would know God personally before Christ returns is very understandable - and commendable. You can trust, though, that Christ will return exactly at the right time. God is very patient in waiting for those who would be saved to be saved; for He does not desire that anyone should perish.

2 Peter 3:9
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

Your almost 19, you are young, not even an adult yet (meaning independent and supporting yourself). Im assuming you have'nt left your parents home yet. Naturally, you expect a whole life ahead of you, a career to think about, achievements, places to go; then later finding a mate, starting a family. And all of a sudden, you become a Christian and the Second Coming is right at our door. You feel this interrupts your plans, your life! It sure would.
You have a lot to learn, you are an infant - spiritually, so you need to feed on the Word. Seek Jesus first, then He will give you the things you desire.
LIVE YOUR LIFE AS IF HE WASNT COMING FOR 50 YEARS. In other words, be occupied until He comes - with a hope and faith that will eventually grow towards wanting Him to come soon.
You will see sin in the world and in your own life and hate it. You will realize that man cannot create world peace and fix our dysfunctional world. You'll see beauty in the world and want to stay close to that, but then the ugly shows it's head and spoils it over and over again. The world seems like it's getting worse. Good and evil are moving towards a precipice, when finally they will separate during a period of Judgment (3 1/2 years called the Great Tribulation); after which there will be peace for 1000 years (unless you attend a Preterist church - they will tell you something different).
But until this happens, take one day at a time, LIVE, work, love, have faith and hope. This is an interesting journey with peaks and valleys. Getting to know Jesus takes time ... But He may come tomorrow? If that happened, won't you be glad that you were saved two months ago.
Listen, what heaven has to offer outweighs anything on earth. Earth has beauty, but when you look closely, it has defects all over the place - everywhere, in everyone as well. Heaven is perfect. Look at a beautiful flowering tree from a distance, then move closer and see the defects. People are the same, we may appear wonderful on the outside, but we are all like dirty rags. Even after He cleanses our sins, spiritually we are white as snow but we still have sin that dwells in our flesh. It's this dual nature that we battle with, continuously being tempted to fall into sin, our old ways.
I am 63, my body is breaking down as much as I fight this process, it happens. I need a new body, an eternal one that never will break down. So I say come Lord Jesus ...Tomorrow would be just fine.

We, as Christians, are commanded to spread the "good news". What better way to show the power of the Holy Spirit in your life through the fruits of your conversion! The second coming of Jesus Christ of Nazareth is like a ""thief in the night". No one knows the day or the hour. It is a waste of time to put any thought into the final day of judgment when there is so much work to do for the Kingdom of God. He will come like a "twinkle of an eye" .
Blessings

"Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light."

I find it a little selfish to desire for God to come and wash away the wicked just because I feel that I am no longer one of them.

What if this desire was granted by Christians before we got "saved". We'd all be lost.

Woe to those who desire to be the single winner to cross the finish line, ending the race for all....instead of waiting to encourage, help and congratulate those who would cross after us........

Its is your sinful nature, to feel that way and you may never mature from that. Depends on how much you love this sinful world that is now in place.

I for one will look forward to all the lies by man being exposed, The true shape and reality of Gods creation (that the earth is flat and stationary) will be known as it was in Biblical times. But before The Messiah comes back there is going to be tough times on earth

Gods rule is always better than satans/mans rule
