So Jesus said that he will come back when there is a lot of deception, wrong will seem right, iniquity abounding, and cold hearts.

@AbbySvenz There was very little crime or no crime in some of the towns I lived growing up. Was there a lot of crime in yours?

There was crime but I didn’t pay attention to how much day to day or have anywhere to compare it to 🤷🏼‍♀️@Carazaa

@AbbySvenz OK, I am just curious what peoples experience are compared to their childhood or even 20 years ago.

You can look up crime statistics by year at the FBI’s website @Carazaa

@AbbySvenz FBI? You must be living in the USA, but I am not from the USA, and I have lived in 4 countries and in the cities I have lived there were hardly any crime when I was a child, and now kids don't play outside much because of fear when before kids played outside and no one was scared ever.. There was no fear 50 years ago in many towns even in the USA, now those towns are different. I am not talking about big cities. I am talking about places that are no longer peaceful. What happened? Jesus told us there would be fear everywhere.

[quote] Jesus told us there would be fear everywhere.[/quote]Obviously, it’s Jesus’ fault, then @Carazaa

@AbbySvenz Don't blame sin on God!

God created everything.

Sin is a thing.

Ergo: God created sin @Carazaa

@AbbySvenz No God created a choice to love or not to love. If he hadn't he would not be good, loving, and Holy!

🙄

He would also have to have created the outcome of those choices.

And since He is all knowing, he already [i]knows[/i] the outcome.

You know… “All part of God’s plan/destiny” @Carazaa

@AbbySvenz Yes he has created the outcome of sin and that is death!
