Jesus Christ NEVER said anything to encourage PREPPING | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 53679540 United States 07/27/2021 04:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That’s because a true Christian should not fear that which can only kill the body, whereas prepping is done out of fear of that which can kill the body. Quoting: Gabriel~ Your blanket aspersion that all prepping is done out of fear is baseless. Many have taken heed of the times and provided something extra for their families and neighbors, not out of fear of the future (which no Christian should have), but out of love. I suspect that it is you that are fearful. Try to have faith and trust more in God, and if He leads you to put aside reasonable extra provisions for yourself, your loved ones and/or neighbors, I would urge you to heed the call of the Spirit, lest you be an unfaithful servant. |

How are we to HASTE the coming of the day of the lord? Should we have our treasure be as it were heaven? Drinking and being merry to the FULLEST extent possible? There might be a secret race happening. |

You haven't even read the bible. -Matt 24:25 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? -The Parable of the 10 virgins -Everything in the New Covenant regarding preparing yourself with the whole armor of God, so that you can fight the evil one. Even Jesus Himself is a 'prepper' In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. Just because the word 'prepper' is not in the scriptures does not mean it is not advisable. [Some people think like that, especially regarding the rapture of the church] |

Quoting: Gabriel~ So we should not 'fear' handling deadly snakes and spiders. Or running the gauntlet on the Freeway in morning traffic. Or diving out of an airplane with no chute? Lots of things can kill the body, but fear is something which comes from lack of faith. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 80486192 United States 07/27/2021 05:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have a question about prepping. I've been doing it myself on/off for many years to a small extent, but lately I've been wondering if it makes any sense. Quoting: Karlgel I mean, our Lord Jesus Christ never said that we need to prep. He did say though that we need to have faith in him, and it's all good. One of my favourite bible verses is Matthew 14:31, where Jesus is lecturing Peter for not having enough faith in him. The English translation is bollocks though, it works so much better in German when he says "DU KLEINGLÄUBIGER". Isn't prepping in a way just the same? We believe that Jesus will take care of us - but not really - because we are still stockpiling stuff like no tomorrow. Are we these people of little faith? Shouldn't we just take the doom when it comes, knowing that the only prep we ever needed to do was to 100% trust Jesus Christ? Jesus also did say, that when the time comes, whoever goes back into his house to collect something, will perish. DON'T PREP - JUST PRAY? Hey friend, I agree and I’m familiar with what you are talking about. It’s like when Moses made the mana appear and then scolded a lady who tried to pick up extra and stockpile. Ideally though, you don’t want to wait until the emergency happens to lean on God to get your supplies. If God can provide for you at the time of crisis, then you can have the foresight to use Gods blessings to prepare before the crisis. Therefore, when the crisis happens you can actively help people by providing for them and yourself instead of choosing that time to try to manifest a blessing of meals. |

They can survive it all. De:4:29-31: But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. The ones who know God are the two witnesses, the people they convert will be killed by the 200M angelic horsemen, they will be resurrected in the Re:20:4 event. Da:11:32-35: And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. |

Wayne Gabler User ID: 79139945 Canada 07/28/2021 09:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Good point, God also sent them to Egypt to escape a famine that would have killed them. The Christians left Judea when Stephen was killed, they missed Rome coming (as Neb's replacement) in 70AD (Luke:21:12-24) The Ark for the coming flood of fire is sincere prayer. No other flesh on this Ark as they would die in the fire that sends all fallen angels to the fiery lake. Noah got special treatment, he and his wife and 3 sons were the last 5-fingered people alive when God gave him the latest '100 year weather forecast'. Satan's mission was to kill all 5-fingered people so the 'seed of Eve' from Ge:3:15 could not be born. Re:12:3-4: And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77837750 United States 07/28/2021 10:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think a big issue has to do with the language being used; Up until very recently, the 1950s-70s, much of the US was food self-reliant, or largely so. You went to the general store for things like coffee, sugar, and fabrics, but some 85% of the population grew everything else they needed. That's why the still-existing homes from the 1800s-1940s ALL have huge walk-in panties and/or root cellars. If you didn't "prep", your whole family starved to death. Loaded grocery stores are a modern novelty, one which will quickly cease to exist if supply chains break down for any reason, or if the lights go out and refrigerators are no longer operational. The modern grocery store system is fraught with multitudes of vulnerabilities, including panic buying, as we have already witnessed. Thus, to NOT have a full pantry buffer to intercede during potential periods of disruption of our highly hackable food supply system borders on personal incompetence. If you were an IT developer, and knew the primary software your firm made you use is utter shit, able to be taken down by a 13 year-old with a cell phone, would't you build a backup software, knowing that a primary system failure is not a question of if, but when. Jesus lived as a human during a time when every family was "prepping". Goats and sheep in the field, gardens, etc. People need to stop using this word as if it belongs to crazies holed up in bunkers, surrounded by an arsenal. It's common sense. It always has been. |

Did you know that astrophysicists discovered, after mapping all the matter they could see, and the energy afterglow of the big bang through sensors, they used this to plot where Earth is in the ever-expanding universe? Guess where we are. In the center of the universe. God made it all, for us. An overabundance of beauty to explore. And, as an offering to teach us something about His nature...His infiniteness, complexity, preciseness, intention, creation, destruction, and sheer awesomeness. The universe itself boggles the mind with its reach and content. Yet, we know God exists outside of it, outside of time and space and is immensely larger...endless...than the universe. Our universe had a beginning, and it has an end. God is eternal. |
