The Cult of Doomerism (LS - Larry Schweikart)

We have way too many McClellans

“If you think you’re going to vote your way out of this you’re wrong.”

“They’ll just steal it again.”

Folks, I’m about to blow a gasket with these types. Many of these people think they are—-or portray themselves as—-MAGA or “conservatives.” There is nothing whatsoever conservative or MAGA about this worldview. Quite the contrary, if I was a DemoKKKrat I would energetically promote this kind of thinking to suppress MAGA and conservative turnout.

It is simply a wrong worldview in several ways.

First, it is counter-Biblical. The Bible instructs both Jews and Christians to “FEAR NOT.” It was the first thing every angel who ever appeared to anyone said. In 2 Timothy 1:7 Paul wrote “God has not given us the SPIRIT OF FEAR, but of POWER and of love and of a SOUND MIND.” Get it? Fear, or a spirit of timidity, anxiety, whining, defeatism, doomerism is OF THE DEVIL. God didn’t give it to us, so someone else did. Every time you engage in this kind of doomerism you are advancing the agenda of the devil, not just politically but in all areas of life, where you are agreeing with Satan something “can’t be done,” or “they will just rip me off.” None of that is in the Bible. Quite the contrary, we are taught to expect a miracle (as Oral Roberts used to say), and to act as if we already had the outcome we desired.

Time and again the Children of Israel were delivered from seemingly impossible circulmstances, whether it was the Egyptian plague, starvation in the wilderness, armies of giants, Daniel in Persia, the three Israelites in the fire, the Red Sea, the defeat of massive armies by 300 men under Gideon—-they are too numerous to name. And it’s not just in the Old Testament. Mobs tried to kill Jesus on at least two occasions before His time and he walked right through them as though invisible; the Apostles were constantly saved from death by vipers, soldiers, and mobs.

The entire section about the “armor of God” does not refer to defense, but equips believers to ATTACK! To go on offense. None other than the Lord Himself said that the “gates of Hell shall not prevail against you.” Gates are a form of defense, meaning Jesus expected His followers to be on OFFENSE.

The debt bomb is going to go off; it is inescapable at this point.

Not to mention Unfunded Liabilities.

>>>This is reality<<<; prepare as you see fit.

A Day of Reckoning is coming.

That being said, I’m not rolling over for Nikki Hillary Haley nor Uncle Ho, I mean Uncle Joe.

Worth repeating, as the media and Lefties push so many hysterical narratives in this time.

The Bible instructs both Jews and Christians to “FEAR NOT.”

I feel exactly the same way. It makes me sick to scroll through threads on Myriad subjects and see poster after poster tell us how doomed we are. That nothing changes we’re never going to win or always Charlie Brown. I’m so grateful you’re bringing this up. Proverbs 18:21 says death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it eat the fruit thereof. This is exactly applicable to what we’re seeing. They are speaking death and eating the fruit thereof

No matter how HORRIFYINGLY PAINFULLY TRAGICALLY AWFUL it really is, it is a MILLION times worse. Then things get *really* tough. After that, HORRIBLE things happen, and then we REALLY get screwed. Immediately following that, the BOTTOM drops out and we are all DEAD, and THEN things get HARD! Once that happens, it signifies the TOTAL collapse of EVERYTHING, and that’s when the CATASTROPHE starts! It’s the sign of the end of EVERYTHING, but after that, comes the TRAGEDY. Then times get DIFFICULT, and things get WORSE, until it’s EXCRUCIATING, but that’s just the beginning, because after that it’s all PAIN.

Until enough people are aware of the stolen elections there’s not much chance of doing enough about it.

“If you think you’re going to vote your way out of this you’re wrong.” “They’ll just steal it again.”

Are you finally now accepting the factual reality of voter fraud via machines - either thru local or internet access?

We are not going to vote our way out of this...

...unless we have a lot more babies, not just "prolife" but prolific.

Ephesians 6:4
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord

Additionally we need leaders of all kinds, who fear God and serve the flock by serving the Good Shepherd.

Deuteronomy 10:12-22
And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, To keep the commandments of the Lord, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good? Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the Lord's thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.

“Fear, or a spirit of timidity, anxiety, whining, defeatism, doomerism is OF THE DEVIL.”

The execrable orthodoxy of neurotics.

LOL...denying your own posts!

You’re like the Hillary aide denying his own diary.
