For some people, all this "end times" stuff on City Data becomes thrilling! The focus on the earth's ending and God's judgement becomes an unhealthy addiction. It's an obsession like any obsession whether its a germaphobe or perfectionism.
It is also Puritanism - strict moral discipline and purity as the correct form of Christian life.
Puritans were the people who outlawed Christmas and went on to smashed stained glass windows, defaced religious statues and destroyed painting. Puritans eliminated choral music and musical instruments in their religious services. Worse, all their clothing was colorless black.
Catholicism isn't Puritanism. The Medieval Catholic Church was full of life. Medieval Catholic Church interiors were painted in bright colors, the music was lively and joyful. Its calendar was full of saint feast days for celebrating. People clothing and clergy robes where brightly colored.
Again, Catholicism isn't Puritanism. Catholics don't focus on end times, but live joyfully without fear!
After watching this video you will never say a bad word again! Jesus warned us…
Today's video: “After watching this, you'll never say a bad word again! Jesus warned us…”, represents one of the warnings we can find in the Bible. In the Gospel according to St. Matthew we read: "By your words you will be justified and by your words you will be condemned." These are very important words that indicate that our words have great meaning and impact on our spiritual life. Moreover, Jesus taught that our words are a reflection In Luke 6:45 it says, "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth good, and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart speaketh." This means that what we say reflects our inner self, our beliefs and our soul.
Jesus often practiced silence as a means of thinking, praying, and acting thoughtfully. Silence can help us understand the situation, calm our emotions and avoid rash speaking. It is also a time when we can listen to others and be more present in the conversation. Jesus taught that emotions can influence our words and actions. Therefore, it is important that we try to remain calm and composed in difficult situations. When we're upset, angry, or convinced we're right, we can say things we later regret. Jesus encouraged us to control our emotions and understand that our reactions affect others. Jesus also taught us empathy and understanding towards other people. When we are silent, we can listen more carefully to others and try to understand their point of view. This can lead to better understanding and conflict resolution.
God's love for us is one of the most beautiful and profound aspects of our spirituality. It is a love that transcends all human concepts and is difficult to fully understand. However, despite its mysterious nature, we can see many signs of God's love in our lives and around us.
The very fact of existence is the first and most important sign of God's love for us. In the Bible we read that God created the world and everything in it, and when we look at the beauty of nature, the complex structure of the human body or the rich variety of life on earth, we cannot help but see in this act the creation of an expression of love and care.
God's love for us is also manifested in His relationship with humanity. Many times throughout history, God has sent prophets and teachers to give us His words and instructions. However, the highest manifestation of this love was the moment when God sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to save humanity. Christ came into the world to teach love, mercy and forgiveness, and finally gave his life on the cross to save us and give us the hope of eternal life.
God's love for us is also manifested in our daily lives. It is He who gives us the ability to love others, forgive, empathize and offer help. It is He who gives us the strength to survive difficult times and overcome adversity.
However, we do not feel God's love for us only in moments of joy and success. She is also present in our moments of sorrow, suffering and trials. That is when God is beside us, supporting us with His love and His promise to never leave us.
It is worth remembering that God's love is unconditional. It does not matter about our merit or perfection. His love is eternal and unchanging, regardless of our faults and sins. It is a love that transcends us and in which we can find true and deep comfort.
God's love for us is an incomprehensible gift that is beyond human understanding. It is love that gives us meaning and purpose in our lives. Therefore, it is worth opening your heart to this love, seeking His presence and following His example, loving others as He loves us.

Huh? Earth's ending ? NO.
The Bible teaches : 'Earth abides forever' 'Earth remains forever' ' Earth stays forever ' - Ecclesiastes 1:4 B
Earth will Not be moved - Psalm 104:5
What will be gone, what will end is the wicked people on forever-abiding Earth - Psalms 92:7; 104:35; 145:20; Prov. 2:21-22.
So, ' adverse judgement ' is only for the wicked.- Isaiah 11:3-4; Rev. 19:14-15
How would God's judgement be an unhealthy addiction when the figurative 'sheep' at Jesus' coming Glory Time Jesus gives the 'sheep' a favorable judgement - Matthew 25:31-34,37,40
The 'sheep' can be here on Earth to see calendar Day One of Jesus Millennium-Long Day of governing over Earth for a thousand years when the humble meek people will inherit the Earth as Jesus' promised - Matt. 5:5; Psalms 37:9-11;22:26
It is unwise to be ignorant of "all" those things that Jesus Christ taught.
I hold His words most seriously.
I believe in the tutelage of the Holy Spirit, Jesus alone provides.
Matthew 7;21,22,23,
Yes, Not wise to ignore or be ignorant such as: Jesus promised Earth for humble meek people to inherit the Earth.
The Earth would have to be here in order for the humble meek people to inherit the Earth - Matt. 5:5; Psalms 37:9-11;22:26
So, it is No wonder the Bible's promise is Earth abides forever - Ecclesiastes 1:4 B; Psalm 104:5
We don't pray for Earth to be gone but for God's Will (His Purpose) to be done here on Earth as it is done in Heaven.
In Heaven there is: No crime, No violence, No pollution, No war, No sickness and No death in Heaven.
ALL the bad conditions now exist on Earth, but when God's Will is done on Earth there will be only good conditions.
Good-and-healthy conditions as described by the beautiful paradisical words found at Isaiah 35th chapter.
This is when even ' enemy death ' will be No more on Earth - 1st Corinthians 15:24-26; Isaiah 25:8
3 Biblical Warnings That Should Not Be Ignored: A Warning to Mankind....
3 Biblical Warnings Not to Heed: A Warning to Humanity... The Bible, as a collection of holy books for millions of believers around the world, contains many warnings and instructions for our good and salvation. It is not only a collection of ancient texts, but also a compendium of wisdom and knowledge that reflects God's plan for man. The warnings in the Bible are an expression of God's love for his creation. They serve as guides so that we can avoid mistakes that can lead us down the path of destruction. By correctly interpreting and applying these teachings, we can better understand our existence and find meaningful meaning in life.
The warnings contained in the Bible are not an expression of severity, but a manifestation of God's love and care for his creation. Just as a parent warns his child against danger, so God through his Word warns us against traps that can destroy us. It is an expression of His love, desire for our good, and assurance that we are not alone in our difficulties.
Many of these warnings are about our character and behavior. The Bible teaches us to avoid pride, selfishness, greed and envy. It warns us against hatred, anger and malice that can lead to conflict and hurt others. It encourages us to forgive and forgive, to cleanse our hearts of resentment and pain.
Another caveat applies to our relationships and choices. The Bible tells us that bad company corrupts our habits and encourages us to choose wisely who we surround ourselves with. It warns against dishonesty and lies that destroy trust and lead to confusion.
The Bible also warns us against focusing on worldly values such as wealth, fame and glory. Instead, it directs us to spiritual values such as love, compassion, humility, and generosity. It teaches us to look for permanent and important things, which are important not only in earthly life, but also in eternity.
Biblical warnings also show us the consequences of our choices. They show us that our actions affect our lives and the lives of others. They warn us against complacency and indifference, which can lead to spiritual stagnation.
It is worth understanding that these warnings are not the imposition of restrictions or limitations, but an indicator of true freedom and peace. When we live according to the values contained in the Bible, we experience the joy and fulfillment that comes from a harmonious and dignified life.
The warnings contained in the Bible are still relevant and wise for our time. They are a valuable guide on the journey of life, giving us tips on how to make the right decisions, protect our hearts and strive for salvation.
It is well worth the effort to learn the wisdom found in the Bible and put these teachings into practice. Thanks to this, we can get closer to God, find the meaning of life and become better people for ourselves and others. It is a great blessing that we have so many wonderful warnings in the Word of God to guide us on the path of wisdom and salvation.
