Sould I lose the hope for humanity?

[whistlingwh0res]

Bible says that human heart is the most corrupt thing in the universe. I have been exploring a little but it's not going anywhere. Maybe I should just accept the Bible and do nothing to improve. Maybe I should just leave humans to self distruct

[AmeerX]

Even without what you said about bible, it's my own feeling that humans are destined to become corrupt. I am Muslim and God keeps reminding in Quran that people would have been each others enemies if not for the affection he created between us. Humans are impatient beings too and we destroy and fight amongst ourselves too.

God said in Quran that human heart is harder than the mountain rock too and that in our ignorance we do many things like taking on the burden of Quran. However, I still feel there is hope for humanity. It's not all lost and grimm because God promised humans a place in heaven if we do good things and fiery hell if we turn evil.

Indeed, if God started dispensing justice on the people over smaller sins and mistakes then no one would have been alive to correct their cnduct. It doesn't matter if you are Muslim or Jew or Christian or if you say universe or God or Allah, but it matters you believe in one almighty God and try to do good things and stop evil then the reward in the hereafter will be great.

If you tried to explore about your heart and about others, be grateful to God that He allowed you a chance. Don't throw it away. You know funny thing that people care about life in this world more than the next and in doing so forget about God. Unfortunately 😔 I feel bad too because I stopped reading Quran after I got disappointed in fellow sect following Muslims and corruption. Sometimes I go read bible and read old testament stories out of curiosity because I don't want to feel ignorant. It's not 💯 platable for me. It's really more satisfying just the way it is now.

You sometimes ask very interesting questions 👍

i recall quran also has the story of the snake. human not corrupt so the snake caused adaM sin

[AmeerX]

@strateguy632 he sinned but God forgave him but he and Eve both committed it together. They were swayed by the devil

[OddBeMe]

Well…the Bible is for morons who can’t think for themselves. Like they literally need a reason not to rape and murder. So I’m actually glad the Bible is there for them.

But a heart is an organ that pumps blood. Our minds are complex and can have certain issues that are reparable. I think as a majority, people like seeing others happy. But also as a majority, we’d definitely make ourselves happier first at the expense of everyone else.

All you need to do is look at global warming. Literally tiny changes in our behavior could affect and change course. But people can’t even be relied on to do that. Until it affects them directly and obviously. Like all their kids have asthma. Gee, could that be related?

[strateguy632]

about think, millions CHANGED to become Christian they did think for themselves.
christians are the religion with COUNCILS debate scholars.
b about rape, the bible is not only don"t rape and murder but much more morality. and without god, people think abortion isn't murder are they "good" people inflicting pain and killing a human fetus. so yeh atheists need to "start learning not to murder" and stop trying to justify murdrr, killing human fetus.

[OddBeMe]

@strateguy632 and that means it’s true…. why?

Either prove a god exists or shut the hell up. I’ll even take evidence that proves “probably exists”

[strateguy632]

start practical , nothing else we try prison etc. stops crime, so we need to stop spreading atheism so people don't say i won't get punished. just for your family

[OddBeMe]

@strateguy632 good point! How many atheists in prison?

[hopegirly]

As a Christian young lady, my hope is in Jesus Christ, and not in people. We cannot save ourselves of any bad thing, we are completly dependent on Christ and that is why we must rest in our faith on Him, only.

[ObscuredBeyond]

You missed the part about the Spirit having transformative power in you. But do keep in mind: nothing else will. If he doesn't quicken you unto the correct motivation to change, then hypocrisy is the closest you'll get. With that motivation, you have to want to change, or you never will.

And yes, human corruption runs deep.

[Anonymous]

No. Because you need to keep in mind God is saying this. God is infallible. By that measuring stick everybody falls short. But this is NO excuse to not try to always be better. I look at each day as a gift from God to be better and to do better. The Bible also says "let he who is without sin cast the first stone". Always remember that God talks to them Always, same as you. Just some people do a better job of listening to him than others. Always remember you're their sister and to do God's will is just to help them if you're able, not judge where they are in their journey.

[strateguy632]

bible? that is a misquote. bible said opposite, in snake story, genesis 3, eating that fruit, caused evil not "heart corrupt" but from outside. they were not even tempted to sin if not for the sneaky serpent.

that is like saying "harry potter books say he was always a failure and the villain" in harry potter books.

2 if ACCEPT bible that would include the moral lessons of pual letters, in new testament, not selected the one detail you misquoted.

[DaBiggestBird]

First I’d like to say ignore the haters, I know at least one triggered wanker is going to tell you the Bible is false news or something retarded like that. Anyways, you should instead accept no one can be perfect and just try to be the best human you can be.

[strateguy632]

but that is not as extreme as "most corrupt " in question. still i agree with your reply.

[Anonymous]

It's natural to feel disheartened at times, but it's important to remember that the Bible is just one perspective. Many people believe in the capacity for positive change and progress in humanity. While there are challenges, there are also countless examples of people working to make the world a better place. Instead of giving up, consider how you can contribute to positive change and surround yourself with individuals who share that vision.

[Anonymous]

You should try to improve you. You cannot change other people. You can convince them they should change but changing is a process. The mass paradigm will slowly change upward. by the way you're not your conditioning, thoughts, or name or body etc. You are a soul. All the other things are things you own.

[DaveJord]

Just find the humans you care about and invest in them, but yes humanity might be fucked... the bible knows that.

Listen to what this guy is saying...

[DannyUk2017]

I lost hope, long time ago, now i'm just in a limbo...🤷‍♂️

[strateguy632]

despite rare some people make effort to be decent

[Masterodd]

YES... There is no hope, too many people doing whatever they want, whenever they want, with whoever they want without every EVER thinking about the consequences of their actions.

[AnusNdaPainus]

Nope

Biblically the golden rule of the Bible is to love others as you love yourself and to pray for your enemies

[Anonymous]

im not sure the bible actually says that about the heart but what has it got to do with you? what can you possibly do to change anything heart related?
i dont get it

[BigDog1989]

If you need a book, to tell you what to do, you probably have the wrong religion

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Having hope in humans is like having hope in the Devil.

[strateguy632]

you mean RELYING ON them.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@strateguy632: Trusting in them.

[jimmy2]

That's true but if you are saved we know real love of Jesus to us

[Kingofkings1992]

Yes, humans suck. We fail as a species and we are fucked

[strateguy632]

in the big picture you are right but we have produced some good systems for competition in business and for negotiations that often bring cause benefits.

[Anonymous]

I already have a long time ago a very long time ago

[petera1987]

Sadly I have to agree with you.

[noohair]

Humans are flawed.
