Not true dumdumb among other verses,
2 Peter 3:3-4
But first you must realize that in the last days some
people won't think about anything except their own selfish desires.
They will make fun of you and say: "Didn't your Lord
promise to come back? Yet the first leaders have already died, and
the world hasn't changed a bit."
i stand corrected. =)
apparently, this is rather true in this age..
you know, in all honesty, i find part of myself looking forward
to judgement day, and to see the scoffers turn pale at the error of
their words and decisions..
i've been struggling the past few weeks, asking God why does He
tolerates these mockers, and why do I have to suffer them.
but, God loves them also.
He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to
perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
if that's God's heart, then I should be thankful for such a
loving God, because I enjoy that same love also.
also, I chanced upon this:
24Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of
heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his
field. 25But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came
and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the
weeds also appeared.
27"The owner's servants came to him and said, 'Sir,
didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds
come from?'
28" 'An enemy did this,' he replied.
"The servants asked him, 'Do
you want us to go and pull them up?'
29" 'No,' he answered, 'because while you are
pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with
them. 30Let both grow together until the harvest. At that
time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie
them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it
into my barn.' "
God tolerates mockers, but He won't take action yet because the
time isn't right.
