You have a point. I would say that little children are vastly more "mature" than adults. They know nothing of adultery, porn, rape, lusting, etc.
Be like little children (who are naive). haha . . . I'm wandering off the point a bit.
Will the world come to an end?

The word 'world' is often used to describe, not the earth, but this present ruling Age ruled by satan = See Daniels Statute.
Example: 2 Corinthians 4:3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this world has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
The word 'world' used here refers to the present sinful/rebellious control in men's hearts/minds.
'World' here, does not mean the earth

Read those scriptures from various books in the Bible. Then weigh the fact that the Word of God says this earth will be destroyed and replaced with a new heaven and new earth, and the conclusion should be simple.
No, but I have heard the saying Everybody Plays the Fool Sometimes...lol
How 'bout you? You ever considered that saying....
I'm more realistic. Either you a fool or you aint. I'm an adult, and adults don't play gamesNo, but I have heard the saying Everybody Plays the Fool Sometimes...lol
How 'bout you? You ever considered that saying....
NO dear
For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men. We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored! To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless. And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure; being defamed, we entreat. We have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.
lol....
I ain't playing.
It's true....
Everybody plays the fool sometimes...There's no exception to the rule.
It may be factual it may be cruel but everybody plays the fool sometimes.
lol...I'm just having a little fun with you.
Seriously though, read the scriptures I linked.
Honestly, no need to read the link when I already have my views on that sitiation. I normally stand firm in my beliefs and this isn't and exception.lol....

...Well, when the very last book of all of scripture, detailing the end result, isn't good enough explanation I don't know what else to tell ya!The Mystery of God is "Christ in you". It's the first critical step like you alluded to and I agreed with. But it isn't the only purpose. After that, it's The Glorification (aka the "reward" of a transformed physical body) to live and dwell with The Almighty on earth forever.

Having felt the Raw, Almighty Power of God to the degree that if I had felt more . . . I would have died, I can tell you this . . . humans determine nothing. Not one thing.

Sorry, I should have added that the "Mystery" that you're referring to is not the Mysterious Plan of the timeline, chronological Bible. Seriously, I wish people would get to know the Bible in its story form. We need to think of the Bible as a total, complete story, from beginning to end. I spent the first 50 years of my life simply being able to quite scripture, but that counts for NOTHING. Again, we need to know our Bible so clearly that when we think of it, we have something like a picture of the Bible in our minds. We need to be able to "see" it . . . know it.

Yep, exactly as I thought to start with. No, need posting scripture to someone when they ain't gonna read it anyways.
Anyhow, peace I'm out
I don't like to quote the original Bible very much. Why should we still eat milk? Why can't we eat raw?Yep, exactly as I thought: No, need posting scripture to someone when they ain't gonna read it anyways.

It is so much more then we are able to think, ask or pray to God for.
But we believe it because HE said IT IS and IS Coming and Forever will BE.
Suspense, Mystery, Death, Resurrection, Transformation, Glorification, ETERNITY with GOD & the LAMB.
But I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, because the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its lamp. By its light the nations will walk, and into it the kings of the earth will bring their glory. Its gates will never be shut at the end of the day, because there will be no night there.
I quake at your obviously verifiable testimony!!
They determine whether they'll receive Him or not (and whichever consequences result from that choice). He doesn't force Himself on anyone.
Statements like this do nothing but reveal one's own arrogance because it isn't edifying (which, itself, is evidence that one HASN'T actually felt His raw, almighty power, as pride ain't one of His characteristics). You're not sharing what you could be referring to with regard to correcting or challenging the statement I gave.
In all do respect maybe its a view instead of a statement. You ever thought of that? Two totally different scenarios
