We pray the Father's will be done

The Father knows better than we do

So we shouldn't be praying about things such as "God, please make it so that our governments do justice and get better"? Because, after all, the prophecy must be fulfilled, and that means everything HAS to get worse.

God does not want anyone to perish

So asking his will be done is the best we can do

So we shouldn't be praying about stuff getting better in the governments, right?

That's too specific.

1 Timothy 2:1-4

**1 Timothy 2:1-4 - King James Version (KJV)**

```Dust


<1> I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; <2> For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. <3> For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; <4> Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. ```

Nice verse. It aids what we're saying.

So, what about the fulfillment of the prophecy, that things WILL get worse.

Do we pray for that despite the upcoming destruction and injustice?

We should ask mercy be shown to those who are not yet saved

While we wait for rapture

I want to take that verse 2 in particular.

"For kings, and for all that are in authority"

Why pray for it if everything is going to get worse? (Don't get me wrong, I will still pray for that, it's just an honest question I got)

Praying for others, despite things getting worse, is the right thing to do. We don’t need to pray for bad things to happen.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

**1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 - King James Version (KJV)**

```Dust


<16> Rejoice evermore. <17> Pray without ceasing. <18> In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. ```

Hosea 3:1-2

**Hosea 3:1-2 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**

```Dust
Further Assurances of God’s Redeeming Love

<1> The Lord said to me again, "Go, love a woman who has a lover and is an adulteress, just as the Lord loves the people of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes." <2> So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer of barley and a measure of wine. ```

......

What?

Hell if I know

That's quite the verse

Just going through it for funsies

What's the raisin cakes thing about

😆

I wish I knew

@🍄The Mad Philosopher🍄 @A Search for Roche's Rifle @Derek Nelson @Bibleman I think we all need to come together to figure out a way to discuss religion in a better way that
"my belief is better than your belief"
"you don't have any science"
"neither do you"
"I will kill you"
"God is on my side you will lose"
"My God is better than your god bring it on"

Big oof

I agree. I think the easiest way is to oppose religious opinions in debate channels.
Perhaps, move the Bible study room up to where this room is, as well?
If there's already a Bible study room, there's no need to fill two rooms up with the same thing. Bible study discussions might also get less paid attention to in this room since there is already one and other people might want to discuss something else in this one.
Might make things a bit more fluent.
Seems like a fair compromise.

The room is not the problem in my opinion. The issue is when people blatantly disrespect others in order to get a rise out of them. But I do agree there should be a separate room for bible studies.

😃

Last night I posted my study and it was immediately lost in a massive amount of spam, lol. So perhaps I will start pasting them into that room instead. 😃

@Human Sheeple I agree we need to find a better way to talk to one another. Though I can tell you I try never to say the things you mentioned above because it is not loving. There is a difference between rebuking and exhortation, and outright clashing and disrespecting someone. We are called to preach the good news and the kingdom of God...we are not called to chase people away with a stick.

DING DING DING.
