Drip Drip Drip: Is Evil Like Erosion or Like a Hurricane?

Recently, someone offered the following quote by Buddha and after the quote, posed a question.

The quote?

“Little by little a person becomes evil, as a water pot is filled by drops of water… Little by little a person becomes good, as a water pot is filled by drops of water.”
—Guatama Buddha

The question?

“What do you think of this quotation by a very wise man? Don’t you think it belongs in the Bible?”

The answer?

“You can tell the quote was by a man. It flatters man and puffs him up by telling him he can be good. And if this quotation was in the Bible, it would contradict everything else God’s Word teaches. On several points.

One: the Bible teaches that man does not become evil, little by little or otherwise. Man IS evil: it is his nature after falling to sin in the garden of Eden.

“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
–Genesis 6:5

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”
–Jeremiah 17:9

“For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.”
–Ecclesiastes 7:20

“And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.”
–Genesis 8:21

“Two, the Bible also teaches there is NOT one good man: man cannot become good (little by little or otherwise) EXCEPT through the mercy of God Almighty and the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ.”

“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”
–Romans 3:10-12

“They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”
–Psalm 14:3

“Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”
–Psalm 53:3

And so, after reading a few of the previous, pertinent Bible verses, that portion of the discussion was over.

[NOTE: There is ONE thing (which is NOT in the Bible) which seems to many times be observed. That is that men gradually let their wickedness be displayed in public.

MORE: Sign of the End Times: Wicked Men Being Evil in Public

Rarely does a man suddenly explode into a wicked berserker or a hurricane of evil.

Much more commonplace is the man who gradually lets his evil self be on display: drip drip drip drip drip…

Which may be why so many believe man becomes evil slowly; by stages.

No, man is already evil.

However, he usually lets OTHERS only see glimpses of his wickedness by degrees over the course of time.]

DOES the reader believe he knows good people?

DOES the reader believe God’s Word is “too harsh” on man and man’s nature?

DOES the reader believe that God needs to “give man a break“?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

DOES the reader believe he is saved?

DOES the reader believe he is NOT saved?

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16

Two Interesting Questions

Two different questions asked over the past week.

Two questions VERY different from each other.

But both questions were interesting in their own way.

The first was complicated and required a lengthy build-up.

The second one was simple and needed no introduction.

“Let’s say you were in your house. And someone had placed a bomb in your house. And the bomb was set to go off in 2 minutes. And I knew the bomb was in there. And I knew WHEN the bomb was set to go off. NOW, I show up outside your house and I’m shouting to get your attention: “Hey, come outside. I’ll give your $1000 dollars.” And I keep it up until you answer me. And I show you $1000. I take it out of my pocket and show you “Look, I’ve got $1000 dollars. All you have to do is come outside to get it.” So you come outside to collect the $1000 dollars and the bomb goes off and you are still alive. But I don’t give you the $1000 dollars. I put it back in my pocket and say “Hey, at least I saved your life. I’m keeping the $1000.”

The question is: how would you feel about your life being saved by a lie?

The answer?

I don’t think the question is valid.

IF one was the type of person who would drop whatever they were doing and come outside one’s house for $1000–IF one was the type of person who put that much value on $1000–then, one would not actually go outside unless the $1000 was safely in hand.

IF one valued money that much, then one would not operate on a promise. One would say “Put the money in my hand and THEN I’ll come outside.”

Besides the whole set-up sounds too much like a con game. Why would you show up at my house flashing $1000, wanting me to come outside and promising me $1000 IF I came outside?

So if I valued money that much, my life would NOT be saved–unless I was the type of person who was a regular victim of scams and con games.

The second question was also interesting, though much more straightforward.

“Would you deny Jesus to save your life?”

The answer?

This is a question which is easy for EVERYONE to answer.

It is an easy question for the non-believer to answer.

Of course the non-believer would deny Jesus to save his life: he does not believe Jesus is anybody special.

MOST people value their life; MOST–regardless of what they may say–do not value Jesus Christ.

It is an easy question for the believer to answer as well.

Of course the believer would not deny Jesus Christ. The believer values his eternity more than this wisp of a life. For the believer, it is not even a question: the believer believes in eternity and eternal consequences for actions here on earth.

AND, the believer believes God’s Word; the believer believes what Jesus Christ Himself said.

“Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.”
–Matthew 10:32-33

Hopefully the reader will find these two questions as interesting as this writer did.

IS the reader depending upon a lie to save his life?

DOES the reader believe that Jesus Christ is nobody special?

DOES the reader wonder what all the fuss is about Jesus Christ?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

DOES the reader believe he is saved?

SPACE WARS: Will Earth Come Under Attack from Alien Civilizations?

Over the past few weeks or so, a great deal has been written in the Corporate Media about US president Donald Trump creating a “Space Force.”

The BIG propaganda push on this topic began about three or four days ago with a great number of stories released explaining why this “sixth branch of the US military” is so important.

Several promoted the idea by attacking it in some way–a Corporate Media specialty.

‘Space Corps’ — sorry, wrong answer

Since we live in a time of great deception and in a land which is Ground Zero for worldwide deception, the purpose behind the US Space Force is clothed in deception.

Some proposed that the Space Force will be an extension of the US military–only in outer space.

U.S. Space Force Will Challenge Russia and China Military Power Beyond This World

Wringing their hands in print, some even went so far as to decry “war in space.”

Please, President Trump, don’t bring war to space

To those who study the Bible, the announcement of the establishment of a US Space Force was no great surprise.

The end times “kings of the earth“–and their armies–will fight against Jesus Christ upon His return to earth. This will mean an end to the rule of the wicked, which is the world’s current system. A Space Force makes all the sense in the world.

After all, the kings (leaders) of the earth view Jesus Christ as a “threat from above.”

“And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse [Jesus Christ], and against his army.”
–Revelation 19:19

“And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.”
–Revelation 16: 12-13,16

The climax of human history is not very far away.

The reader didn’t think he had been indoctrinated all these years by the science/education/media/entertainment/culture about a space invasion for nothing, did he?

“Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government.”
-–Dr. Henry Kissinger, Evians, France, 1991

MORE: THREAT FROM ABOVE: Space Weapons and Armageddon

The USA engaging in space wars is not something the propaganda poobahs at the government/media dreamed up this morning.

From a few year ago:

The Growing risk of War in space -“A Threat from Above” is a VERY important end times deception. Variations on this theme will appear not only in the news but in entertainment, music and every other outlet controlled by the mystery of iniquity.

Space Weapons: US Seeks to Innovate How America Fights Beyond the Stars
–End Times Prophecy Headlines: June 22, 2016

MORE: THREAT FROM ABOVE: Space Weapons and Armageddon

The “space war” game plan has been in place for some time.

“Some one remarked that the best way to unite all the nations on this globe would be an attack from some other planet. In the face of such an alien enemy, people would respond with a sense of their unity of interest and purpose.”
-–John Dewey, 1917 – Educational guru, professor, Columbia University. Dewey has been called (by the Corporate Media) the “Father of Modern
Education.” Make that “the father of modern Luciferian education.”

“The next war will be an interplanetary war. The nations of the earth must someday make a common front against attack by people from other planets.”
-–U.S. General Douglass MacArthur, 1955 speech, West Point
Taken from New World Order Strategy: Aliens Attack, the World Unites!

The reader will hear MUCH more about “war in space” the closer we come to the climax of human history: the return of Jesus Christ.

The wicked have prepared for that day for a long time. The wicked believe they can win a war against Jesus Christ.

And there WILL be war. Not in “outer space” because that is a fiction. But the leaders of the earth are getting ready to fight something that comes from above: Jesus Christ.

Of course they lose.

“And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.”
–Revelation 19:17-21

Did the reader believe the media/entertainment’s obsession with”alien life” and “killer asteroids” was just a chance occurrence?

Too bad the “brain trust” that rules the wicked hates God’s Word and proceeds as if it is not true.

Tragic–because the destruction of the wicked is so unnecessary.

The next time the reader reads about the US Space Force, or outer space or aliens or ETs, let him remember Revelation 19:17:21.

Then he will be able to make perfect sense out of the grand deception which is taking place.

DOES the reader believe the many stories of outer space, alien life, UFOs, ET and space invasions?

DOES the reader believe there’s a good reason the public had never heard of these topics before the past 70 years?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

PERSEVERE: What the Bible Says About Perseverance

The Bible only uses the words “persevere” or “perseverance” one time.

“And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints”
–Ephesians 6:17-18

Can this mean that God’s Word has little to nothing to say about the Christian’s need to persist and persevere in the face of the world’s and/or Satan’s resistance?

No, it does not.

The Bible has MUCH to say on the subject–it just uses different words rather than “persevere.”

Such as “endure” and “endurance.”

“Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.”
–James 1:12

“For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.”
–1Peter 2:19-20

“For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?”
–Hebrews 12:6-7

“Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.”
–James 5:10-11

God’s Word has other ways of expressing “perseverance” as well.

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
–Galatians 6:9

“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.”
–James 1:2-4

“And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father. Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.”
–1Chronicles 28:6-7

“But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.”
–2Thessalonians 3:13

“I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.”
–Psalm 89:20,28-36

Endure.

Be constant.

Be not weary.

Steadfast.

So while the Bible may not use the word “persevere,” the encouragement to believers to stand fast in the face of obstacles and trials is a common one.

Particularly for the end times.

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
–Revelation 12:11

IS the reader’s idea of what is needed to be a triumphant, end times “overcomer” based on the short term or the long haul?

DOES the reader believe that he will be sucked up to heaven, avoiding having to face end times persecution and tribulation?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.
