Why do they say that God has won?

[Soothfish]

It really looks to me like God has lost and Satan has obtained lasting victory over many.

Just look at this horrifying news
Begin Sex Ed in Kindergarten, Says New ‘National Standards’ Report | CNSnews.com

Satan is succeeding at destroying the souls of countless children and there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. This is even worse than murder. At least when a child is killed one can say that he or she is in a better place. These subhuman fiends are trying to take everything away from them out of their pure and absolute malice.

The vermin who push this stuff are multiplying exponentially and we can't possibly destroy every corrupter. We can take our own children out of the public schools but nothing can be done about the millions of former innocents who are so utterly doomed that their very existence must have been a cosmic mistake. By they time many of them hear the gospel, they will no longer have any concept of goodness as a template for comprehending it.

How am I supposed to have faith and trust in a God who doesn't appear to have any power at all?

Read Revelation-Christ destroys the wicked and sets up his kingdom on earth. It will happen as its future prophesy. God believes in free will.


There is overwhelming circumstantial evidence of the bible. This type of evidence is used in a court of law.
Visit: www.TheBibleProofBook.com, (you will need acrobat reader for this), read The Evidence That Demands A Verdict by Josh McDowell a former agnostic- (its overwhelming circumstantial evidence of bible) and Examine the Evidence by Muncaster a former athiest/The Case for Christ and The Real Jesus by Lee Strobel a former athiest.

Are you personally involved in any of these tragedies, because I would not want to give you some philosophical answer.

Yes I used to work in the school system and desperately tried to save the children....to no avail. I was discharged before anything happened.

Is this really Satan, or just sinful acts of sinful men? And besides, God is the final judge of everything so indeed He wins.

Not sure but the humans who do this are also incredibly dim-witted and disorganized. It's almost like some malicious entity of great power is giving them strong powers of deception.

The 45-page report determines “age-appropriate” guidelines for comprehensive sexuality education in the areas of anatomy, identity, pregnancy, sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs) and others.

In what ways and in what universe are pregnancy, STDs, and anatomy "age-appropriate" for Kindergardeners!?! WHen I was in Kindergarden, we were writing and learning how to read! The last thing on our mind was what we had compared to others and how babies are made. For all we knew, they came from the stork to well-paying customers.

Priceless commercial [edited version]:
*Quietly adding evolution (interpreted as atheistic) in science books as fact and not just a heavily accepted theory: questionable.
*Teaching a random big-bang (and not just the Christian-friendly God made the big bang) that created the universe: Hmm.. I'll have to help my future kids with school work
*Teaching 5-yr olds how to not get pregnant: Our world definitely is fallen.

There are highly paid criminal organizations in this country that profit off of the destruction of children of all ages. The biggest organization which I'm sure you can name is fully and publicly supported by our most powerful politicians.

The USA is such a horrible place that these politicians don't even need to hide the fact. They state it openly and proudly in the most public televised channels. They realize that at least half the populace is evil enough to not be outraged anyway.

Even oppressive countries such as China and nations in South America do not openly celebrate the destruction of children of all ages.

I am ashamed to be a US citizen and can't wait to leave this country before it is completely annihilated by civil war and genocide. Of course, this is a bit off topic but oh well...

The situation that I'm trying to point out here is that the wicked have brainwashed the children to be wicked just like they are or are attempting to do so. Therefore, the wicked are acquiring lasting victories over God. Some are raised into morality and others not, all depending on when and where they were born. It's not exactly easy to believe that he loves anyone when every life is placed in a chaotic game of chance.

Also, the longer God waits to bring judgment to the world, the more he loses.

The battle being fought here was over choice. The fact that we can exhibit such evil and yet still have access to God proves the battle was won. Because without the cross even the most innocent sin still would deserve the second death.

The more he waits more get saved. Jesus said that few will find it-its not a popularity contest. No its not at all by chance-just the opposite.

Ro 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.
(God is not obligated to give people more info than this)

Acts 17:26-27
26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.
(people are born in certain circumstances so that they have the highest chance of finding God)

Have you considered the possibility that God's power, plan, and victory are not things you can directly perceive with your human senses? From the foundation of the world, God had already secured His eventual victory against Satan. When Jesus conquered death on a cross, it was a great signifier of His Father's victory against Satan.

 

[Theofane]

Why do they say that God has won?

Do you believe God can win?

If you look only for evidence of Satan's temporary victories, that is all you'll ever find.

I'm counting on it all making sense in the end but it doesn't make a lick of sense now.

I don't remember if your RC icon is something you've changed recently? It does seem to me that within those traditions, understanding has less importance. That's not necessarily a bad thing, for some ...
