The hardest thing for me to do is ( or was) to accept that humanity is capable of such great evil. I didn’t realize, prior to the great awakening, that a human being can degrade itself to such a level of depravity. Completely beyond anything imaginable...some are putting devil to shame.

Why SO MANY want to distort and destroy God’s perfect design? And cause pain and suffering on others ?

It baffles me each time I come across the evidence of such. We all know why - but it never fails to shock, anyway.

We need more of you, God, in our lives, just to survive this fallen world. We need you, oh God, to intervene. Like Israelites in Egypt, we cry out to you: please, help us!.

Well said Poziomka. It truly is shocking at the evil that has permeated every aspect of society. It is hard to see and very hard to try to live through, but I trust God's plan that he will deliver us in the end!

I’ve studied enough history to have believed it for a long time now. And people didn’t suddenly change because the world “modernized.” People have always been flawed and prone to choose evil. But there have also been a lot of good and noble people throughout the centuries, and it’s no different now.

Yes, that’s true, but when I went down the rabbit hole and learned about satanic rituals, children torture, cannibalism, adrenochrome, etc, etc. now this ruthless depopulation taking place and most people sleeping right through it- it did the number on me. I’m not the same anymore. I’m a believer and understand there is dark side at work- but I never thought that humanity will succumb to it so easily, you see?

I understand, I guess I just was never that idealistic about humans. Those things have always existed. And I would argue, they were probably even harder to fight against before because people couldn’t find or share information as easily, and even though our system has been corrupted and is far from perfect, certain people and groups in previous societies had zero power and zero say in anything at all. It was just survival. Not saying that our rights are as well protected as they should be, but I would definitely prefer to live now than to be subject to some monarch’s whim or have a marauding tribe invade my village and kill, rape, maim and plunder everything with impunity.

I agree completely! I am constantly reminded of Dennis Prager's quote: "Humanity sucks, but there are a few good people." That sounds so pessimistic and negative, but it sure seems to be true.

I think it’s more than a few because the good ones are often not as visible but quietly living their lives in honor and integrity. The bad ones stand out more. But there are for sure far too many people who choose evil 😞

True, true. Also, the internet is a double edged sword: evil and damaging for reasons we all know, but at the same time wonderful because it allows us to find and identify a great many others who have previously been quiet and invisible. It's comforting to know so many are out there, and now we can find them more easily.

Yes I agree. I like to compare the internet to fire—fire can warm you and cook your food, or it can burn your house down or kill/hurt you. The internet gives us opportunities to communicate with people and find information but it also has nefarious and negative aspects.

Oh, do be very discerning. It’s dark and real. Reading Frank Peretti : Piercing the Darkness written in 90’s? - really does a shockingly good book that reminds us that we live in a world of Spiritual warfare. I had a lost employee I tried to Shepard to resist her fears, nightmares etc. Praying with her and invited to church. Turns out, she had been

Attending the cities satanic rituals and was content. I felt gullible.

At that point, abruptly, our communication was over. Shocking, but those dark places

Exist.

People don’t want to think that hard.

In general, good people don't expect such things, and you don't have a framework with which to "see" what is in front of you. We're all gullible. I don't like to be this way, but I trust no one. I verify extensively before trusting anyone or anything. No one gets automatic trust any more.

Unbelievable.. I guess these soulless people are automatically attracted to darkness and are disinterested or even bored when presented to the opposite. Baffling.

Wait'll you see this thing called "the internet."

Same here. Every entity--private or public--I had ever trusted blew up in my face the summer of 2021. It was truly a rude awakening but I turned my face to God.

Correct😊 - and trying to limit my exposure! 😅

But we, as the internet participants, eat of that tree of “good and evil”, regardless the fact that we tend to stay on the “good” side of it. When the serpent took Eve to the tree, which side, do you think, he led her too? Surely not to the evil one.

We are all in trouble. Thank God what’s impossible for us, is possible for God. He will save us, and our Messiah will safely lead us to the final destination, as he promised to do. ❤️

I agree the internet can be a problem. But we must be grateful that it is a way to communicate with like-minded people and learn things we would never have learned without it. Can you imagine how much worse it could be without this font of information.

Exactly. The spiritual warfare has been extremely intense, I really started sensing in Dec. '19.

I have come to accept the evil part of humanity thru this plandemic. I am currently banging my head against the wall over the people are NOT PAYING ATTENTION part.

Amen. We need you NOW Lord. Even so.

We believe in God, Heaven and Jesus, but without the evil one, would they be necessary? I believe that you have to fully understand WHY you need salvation, and from what/whom, in order to completely appreciate the very precious gift we are offered through Christ's incredible, beautiful, selfless sacrifice - and those words don't do it justice.

The church I used to attend told a new pastor they didn’t want to hear about the devil and such. Not sensing the fire and brimstone they are flirting with cowering and rolling over for TPTB as soon as CoV started. I’m sorry but most churches take their marching orders from Satan now. Not all but around me they seem to.

Wow. Truly not a believing in the Bible kind of church then.

I feel the same. I'm not surprised seeing what has happened in the past but my brain just does not go there. It's because sane people do not have the ability to fathom the evilness of these types of psychopaths.

I'm a history buff and I certainly was aware that incalculable evil has occurred in every part of history and in every era, seemingly never ending. In our modern times we like to think that humans have evolved beyond such depraved behavior, and I liked to think that way as well, previously realizing that while evil still exists with some people in some places, I nevertheless thought it to be more limited in scope in the modern era. I have now realized that is not so, and nothing has changed for the last 1,000 years and longer, probably going back to the dawn of mankind. Now, only the means and methods are different. Pure evil is everywhere, we are saturated with it.

Yes. I do think it’s less in your face than it used to be and so as you said, it’s easy to be lulled into thinking it’s decreased. And maybe it actually even has a little, because of certain differences in modern life. But it is definitely still very present in the world today.
