It’s the greatest racketeering and fraud operation of all time. It’s also terrorism, global grand larceny, and democide.
Death is too light a punishment for its perpetrators.
Was he raptured?
So what you’re saying is: don’t fight because the big tough bully won’t like it.
Poor guy lost his dad three days before his third birthday.
>evil… cannot be defeated in this world.
>only resisted within oneself.
No. Evil has already been defeated. God has triumphed, as was inevitable from the beginning of the cosmos. We are merely following the path. Participating in a script. So that ultimately we may be made holy and bear the presence of God Himself.

Let no one mourn that he has fallen again and again;
for forgiveness has risen from the grave.
Let no one fear death, for the death of our Savior has set us free. He has destroyed it by enduring it.
He destroyed Hades when he descended into it.
He put it into an uproar even as it tasted of His flesh.
Isaiah foretold this when he said,
You, O Hell, have been troubled by encountering Him below.
Hell was in an uproar because it was done away with. It was in an uproar, because it was mocked.
It was in an uproar, for it was destroyed.
It is in an uproar, for it is annihilated.
It is in an uproar because it is now made captive.
Hell took a body, and it discovered God.
It took earth, and encountered Heaven.
It took what it saw, and was overcome by what it did not see. O death, where is your sting?
O Hades, where is your victory?
Christ is risen, and you, O death, are annihilated! Christ is risen, and the evil ones are cast down! Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice!
Christ is risen, and life is liberated!
Christ is risen, and the tomb is emptied of its dead;
for Christ, having risen from the dead,
is become the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
To Him be glory and power forever and ever. Amen!
If only you knew how bad things really are
