1000 thousand years is not literal

Jesus did have "controlled anger" when He saw what His fathers house was being used for. He did prophesize that the temple would be torn down, with no stone left unturned.

We are not called to dispel the darkness; we are called to turn on the light.

Everything we do is a product of our thoughts. In other words, we don’t do anything without first thinking it, which is why turning to God and thinking positive thoughts is not quite enough either.

“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things”

“Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you”. In other words, live the truth, do the noble deed, do the right thing, live a pure life, and practice loving others as a noble citizen in God’s kingdom
Philippians 4:8-9

Christian pacifism is often abused by evil men to destroy entire generations of families that once knew God. We do not lead with anger. It is never our lead. However, it often becomes necessary to show our anger toward the injustices that exist all around us.

The Light is on. It has been on for a very long time. Evil men that wholeheartedly reject the loving message of Jesus Christ are certainly a force that can not be denied in this world.

I agree. I like this from AI

The key Bible verse often associated with "what Satan meant for evil, God meant for good" is Genesis 50:20, where Joseph tells his brothers, "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives," after they sold him into slavery. While Joseph speaks to his brothers, this verse is applied more broadly to Satan's evil plans, emphasizing that God can turn even the devil's malicious intentions into something for His ultimate good, as seen in other contexts like Jesus's crucifixion.

This is a hard one for us.

Love for Enemies​

43. “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44. But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45. that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47. And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48. Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Im so happy Satan has been taken care of by Jesus.

Foolish people don't realize that it's the darkness we fight against.

That lies within ourselves.

Jesus spoke about this.

But if you dont like taking accountability for your own decisiosn just blame Satan...

Lol...

Im very far away from your thoughts. If that makes me lost, so be it.

I find rest for my soul looking at the Lord Yeshua, and what I could never do.

If you are going to say that Jesus spoke to this, tell us exactly what He spoke. Yes there is sin within us. However, look at the world. Would you call this world paradise, so as to love this world? Would you call this world paradise and Jesus is in charge, making it the place to be? Would you call this world paradise, and not see that it is actually corrupt, and not paradise at all? Are we crying? Is there death? Is there mourning? Is their sickness? If so, then the first things have not passed away. (Rev. 21)
