Just need to vent how about you?
rick:
Its amazing to me the deception that seems to be everywhere, I hate how truth is distorted with every turn I take. Sometimes I think I hate myself for not being able to overcome even my own iniquities.
Truth is a rarity in this life, tell me, after a lifetime does one even have ( five ) percent of the truth at death ? When truth does come there is always someone casting doubt concerning truth as to persuade against it with persuasive arguments.
The government lies to me, religious leaders lie to me, even members of my own family lies to me too. I watch the evening news and all I see is madness and wickedness everywhere.
What sickens me the most is I'm apart of it all too, are my hands clean? Am I without iniquities ? Do I live a righteous life ? Who am I that God should be mindful of ? Death is what I deserve for the wages of sin is death and I'm a sinner.
Maybe I should have a few beers tonight and forget about life for a while, I have read the lake of fire series and I know inwardly I'm going to learn the ways of God either here and now or there and then and the choice is not even mind to make.
I want to say something to God about that but I will place my finger over my lip for I am only a man and cannot direct my own steps, I guess its better that way at least I can only be held accountable and not responsible for my actions.
OK I'm angry and venting because I'm helpless to change one thing about me, see, now I have to trust God completely so guess its that beast within me always trying to run the show. May death come to the beast tonight.
I just want to be real, I want to put aside my foolish pride that's says I have to be right, I have to be the best the smartest well the truth is I'm not, the real truth is I'm the least of all of you here there is nothing glamorous about me at all I'm nothing. That's how it is.
But at the end of the day I thank God because God is everything to me God is great God is loving and its God who is going to save a wreck like me a nobody like me. OK I'm done venting. Thank you for putting up with a fool like me. God bless you all.
Love and peace to all.

I'd vent along-side you, but I think I understand that all those people truly believe what they say. It'll all be sorted out in the end, and nothing but love and forgiveness will remain. I hope for just a little of that now, but if that doesn't work maybe the beers would help a bit.

Vent? Don't mind if I do!
You sure you're the least of all of us? Look a little further down, you'll find me right below you!
I'm not a beer kind of guy though, i'm not much into wine either. I guess i'll just have some water or a nice cold soda!
Dave in Tenn:
Let me just toss this in here before I slink away...is it always the "lies" that matter? Is it also that people don't follow their own "truths". You might expand that to these others you mentioned.
Just an example: Eternal Torment and Free-will are "lies". But when you say "Jesus is the Savior of the World", yet don't believe He saves the world you are a hypocrite.

I can't say I vent over such things or get frustrated. It would be a lack of trusting in God for His provision if I did. Your life and the world around may look a mess but it doesn't change the fact that God is still in charge. I just keep reading Ray's material and rejoice in the truth as I discover it. I know God is going to put it all right so I rejoice in that. Even where I fall over I know God will lift me up again and I will learn. God will set us free in His time so trust in Him. His Spirit reveals the truth and it matters not what others say with there wise arguments. The truth sets you free and you know it when you hear it.
Php 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.
Php 4:5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand;
Php 4:6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
We need to trust in Him and forget about looking at our own strength as it will fail but He can't and He will do all His will not just some or most but all.
