Just need to vent how about you?
dodrill:
Good vent Rick
I feel this way sometimes too - illusion, delusion - all of it - it is the nature of this world - and men try hard to keep it this way
I guess when we think of spiritual things - we are thinking of another world - and we are at complete odds with all around us
I'm learning not to fight it - it is what it is - this world - this experience :)
I like this verse
John 18:36 - Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not an earthly kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world.”
Stacey:
Hi Rick,
Almost everything you said sounded like something I would say. Seriously.
However, if you want to take the least amongst us trophy home, you are behind in points. :)
Enjoyed your vent friend, hang tight, it gets worse before it gets better.
Dennis Vogel:
It's all part of the plan.
I think most of us see the injustice in this world. But try not to judge God. He knows what He's doing.

Rick, we are all wrenched and nobodies, that's part of His plan to call the "base things" so nobody can boost. But actually we need to have this miserable experience of carnal lust and desires, we have to be a part of it to really know it, to come out of it and then we all have to sink to the depths of despair because we are in it. Isn't it all part of our training, to be prepared to rule with Christ. To be able to really help others we need to know what they have been dealing with from our own experience in it.
Yes it is hard dealing with or even just witnessing all the corruption and dishonesty that fills this world, but it is something we all need first hand experience with to understand and feel it's real detrimental effects. I believe this life of misery was actually necessary for the very Son of God in order to "learn obedience," by actually experiencing it. He learned from first hand experience what it was like to deal with corruption and wickedness the same as we do, but without ever sinning because of it. Yes I believe it was necessary even for Him so to really be able to fully sympathize with the misery that we actually experience every day in this world.
Heb 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
v. 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
v. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
mercy, peace and love

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.

Absolutely!! I've got an inkling of some things that are coming down the road in our near future. In and of myself I wouldn't want to get out of bed in the morning if I had to face the world and what is coming on my own. Fact of the matter is that God himself has decreed that the world is in the mess that it is right now and as we read the scriptures we know that everything is going according to God's plan.
As long as the Father remains on the throne of the universe all will be well. We know from the scriptures that all will end well for all of God's creation. We just have to trust that God knows what He is doing and all the lies, hypocrisy and wickedness is where the world needs to be right now. Christ has said that he will never leave us or forsake us. And if he is for us then who can be against us? Doesn't mean that it's going to be easy by any stretch of the imagination. God knows what He is doing and I trust him. It is enough.
