The anger in my heart

[Soothfish]

There is an enormous amount of anger in my heart. It's getting to the point where I have rejected spirituality entirely because love leads to nothing but depression. I have instead taken up a cold calculating disposition against the enemy whenever the anger subsides.

I can no longer count the number of vulnerable souls claimed by the communists and the Muslims. They not only massacre entire communities (mostly Christians) but they also brainwash entire generations into their sociopathic and brutal way of life. What can any of us do against such limitless insanity and stupidity?

How does anyone stay level headed during all this? if you believe that Christ will save us, do we exist on this Earth just to recruit people for eternity in death? Do we marry and raise children only to wait patiently for the day they are tortured and slaughtered like lambs? I don't see a future full of hope. Not for Earth anyway. So many fools still seem to believe that an advanced technological civilization is the certain future of mankind. Our future seems to be entirely filled with death.

Are we forgetting the souls of those stolen away from God by the capitalists and their worldly messages?

If a Christian dies a saved man, he will not lose anything of importance except a few years of existence on earth.

If a Christian has his faith robbed from him by the devil driven attractions of materialism and worldliness, dying apostate and without Christ, then that, in my view is far worse than the worst and most brutal earthly death.

It doesn't really matter how or when you die, only that you die in Christ.

Material wealth is something that Jesus rejected.

Jesus did NOT reject wealth. He is against the worship of wealth that can be done by the rich or poor.

Are we forgetting the souls of those stolen away from God by the capitalists and their worldly messages?

Are we forgetting the souls lost by the progressive's that say worship GOD or man is the same ?

I have so much anger in my heart as well. It's awful.

I hear you, friend. What I remind myself is that we have been fortunate to be born when and where we were. Many others, now and earlier, have lived in countries without freedom, and still others have had to emigrate.

We seem to be slipping into one of those eras right now.

That's not encouraging, but keeping our perspective helps, I think.

You're in the wrong forum. There are several others where such propaganda would be applauded. Find one of them.

It might be better than communism, but it still is deceptive. It's a human institution, and as such is infected by sin just like every other. It's definitely done good, but you can see for yourself how corrupt and worldly some (but not all) wealthy people are.

Back to anger, don't let it boil in you. It's so easy to get angry at people in a world that been broken for so long. But remember how easy it is for Satan to take advantage of. Why do so many muslims turn to terror? They get angry because they see the infidels...not being muslims. Satan exploits our sparks of frustrations and fans them into flames if we aren't careful. The toughest thing to do when your angry is to stop and think, but I've prayed to God to give me that, and because of that I can actually hold civil conversations with even the most godless, liberal, and immoral people and be able to call them friend.

Some? Sure. And I can see it in people of all other classes, too. But it's the entrepreneurs who make possible everyone else's employment. And, as you said, it's better than Communism. I'd add that it's also better than all other economic systems, too.

I agree.

As it's written, anger throws open the gates to our souls for Satan.

Pray for the country, and pray to be released from the wrath.

1 Timothy 6:17

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many grief’s.

It's fascinating, in a way, how the socio-political system (Socialism) that is TOTALLY about economic striving likes to complain about materialism in all the other systems which are NOT exclusively concerned with who has how much money, material, goods, services, etc.

I've said it in another thread....you clearly don't grasp or understand the practicalities of socialism!

How could you whilst cosseted in the cradle of capitalism?

It's like trying to describe the concept of snow to a Jamaican!

Always worth saying when you really have no answer. Socialism is the most materialistic of all socio-political systems, like it (as you do) or not.

The topic I am discussing is the future of the human species on Earth. Individuals may die as martyrs for Christ. That's all fine and good. But what if you have a young family? Do you raise them to be slaughtered by the enemy? Must be interesting taking the kids to the community park with images of their future savage disembowelment in your head....

Material wealth = life on Earth

Capitalists can be greedy but for the most part it leads to technological ingenuity. It extends the longevity of human life so that they have more time to learn of God and be saved. The book of Genesis says that humankind was created to tend to the Earth (which also means work and building of technology for the sake of one's fellow humans). That seems like the complete opposite of the anti-productivity and laziness of communism and the systematic cruelty and death-worshiping of Islam.

The current events tell me something loud and clear: there is no hope for civilization

We have achieved such an amazing amount of progress and then out of the blue half the population of this hemisphere decides to throw it all away. That means nothing we do to be physically productive in this life matters. I might as well never pick up a book and never bother sending my future kids to university to study engineering or science or anything else useful. It is all pointless.

Socialism is the belief that human beings are entitled to the desires of their heart regardless of whether or not they have done anything to deserve it. That means if someone in school works harder than you, avoids temptation, and gets their life in order by following the word of God....those who did the opposite still somehow have the right to steal from his pocket to avoid the circumstantial consequences of their own sins and bad judgement. For example, we can have sympathy for ex-felons and drug addicts and give charity to them but do these individuals have the right to BLAME those who fared better in life? Is jealousy a good? It's listed as one of the seven deadly sins for a reason...

Socialism is pure evil.

A truly functional civilization is one in which the highly intelligent, creative, and wise find creative ways to uplift the dull and foolish. The USA was designed to be such a place though I don't think it ever really reached that zenith....and now it never will.

Is that where you are?

To be honest I am overcome with raw hatred. There is a point at which I will become violent.

If I lost a child to injustice, I would torture and kill any who were even remotely responsible. I'm not claiming that this is a moral thing to do but this is simply what will happen. If the enemy takes away any other reason for me to continue living then my only purpose would seem to be to destroy them. Blood for blood.

I don't think that violence is the way. Look to Jesus as your lead.

I presume that you are a practicing Christian? Perhaps you should discuss your feelings with your pastor or minister.

Your feelings will consume you and, let's face it, nothing has happened! Your children are safe.

Look to all the good things God has done for you. Don't throw them back in his face!

I don't want it to ever come to that point. I don't want to spend eternity with a history of killing people but I know what my breaking point is. If the enemy hits me in one of my few weak spots, I'll probably break.
