Do you think 2 Timothy 3:1-5 is very noticeable in these times?

[ForevrLonely29]

"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people."

Yes

No

Oh, for a good measure, I'd say it's 2 Timothy 3:1-7. That's part of the reason why I don't consider most women to be guilty of what's happening to our societies, since they're basically mere tools for those mentioned within 2 Timothy 3:1-5. Of course, some women are among those mentioned there, but most just want a way out of their feeling of guilt provided by their relatively lightweight, common sins, therefore being vulnerable to the temptation of the easy answer of atheism and embracing the way of sin.

Anyway... What is described within 2 Timothy 3:1-5 is pretty much a description of the left wing and the big corporations, the ones capable of lobbying. Well... I guess the "unforgiving" part can only be applied to virtue, since the left wing is so forgiving to all sorts of sin that they pretty much consider sin to be virtue, but since the real virtue reveals their scheme, they are absolutely unforgiving of virtue. At any rate, that's what happens when mankind allows itself to believe it's on par with God Almighty, or that there is no God Almighty. Since it' supposed to be the last days, though... I don't think I'm significantly worried, since the salvation of God Almighty is upon us.

Yeah most stars are that way and public figures! Few good people get famous if they do then they get canceled fast for something years ago pre COVID!

[ForevrLonely29]

Even someone of low income can fit this description. When people put greed and selfishness over everything else, it is a problem.

[CuriousHubby]

Most minorities put selfishness riches and fame Infront of usually having a brain. No working hard for them that is for tools man.

Not people who want to get ahead or stay alive!

Oh for fuck’s sake, the world is NOT ending. We dealt with this 10 years ago, we dealt with this 25 years ago, we dealt with this 50 years ago, and even longer still. We’re just being people. We get scared and people take advantage of that fear for personal gain and when shit doesn’t even go sideways, it’s like mildly leaning diagonal at worst, we act like we’re all about to die. We’re dramatic, but we’re not bringing about the apocalypse.

[ForevrLonely29]

The last "days" doesn't mean tomorrow or even next week or year. It does not mean literal days like we think in a 24 hour span. We are certainly creeping closer.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

We’ve been “creeping closer” since the 1880s. If humanity is going to die out, it’s going to be long after you and I are already rotting in the earth

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Been so since the "last days" started in the 1st century at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ preaching according to the Bible.

[nolabels]

Sure, just as has been the case for millennia.

[Ladsin2]

It's a good verse, but because it's always been that way. They said the same thing before Rome fell.
How should I answer your poll?

[LiamJHayden]

In the West, certainly.
