"Not long for this world"

It's unbiblical.

Nothing we try to accomplish in this world will survive. Look at your ancestors, nothing they accomplished amounts to anything. Even those in our history books will be forgotten eventually.

Any kind of Mark we try to make in this world is just a sand castle waiting for the tide to roll in.

Thank you for that observation oh wise master teacher.

All that is entirely unbiblical.

The Bible says otherwise. The work that Christians do in this world are treasures stored in heaven. That which is built in this life on the foundation of Jesus Christ will carry over to the next. Everything that we do in this life that doesn't give glory to God will burn.

I'd provide the biblical references but you ought to know them already. I won't argue over them with you.

There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of later things yet to be among those who come after. Eccl 1:11

'And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,
“Great and amazing are your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations!'

The above passage from Revelation tells us sir that in heaven Christian chaps will sing the song of the Lamb and of Moses (Revelation 15:3), which, of course, is a song about past history. So, if we're going to sing about history how can it be said there is no remembrance of former things?


Edit: Check.

You are blind it is totally Biblical, but as a deceived child of Satan you can't see it.

Nothing we do (see Ecclesiastes), given enough time, will be remembered by any of us.
The praises you are citing give glory to God.

Do you think we'll forget the cross?

You've made only accusations without substance. Validate and substantiate your claims with real evidence or shut your yap.

See how the rest of the bible can screw up your understanding if applied without some common sense?

I imagine we'll be praising God plenty, for His work on the cross!

It will be interesting to see just how much of this world we'll remember. I'd just as soon forget the lot of it.

How can the blind see truth? It is impossible until God opens your eyes concerning this natural world.

"How can the blind see truth?"

By believing in Jesus Christ and being born again.

" It is impossible until God opens your eyes concerning this natural world."

I suppose you have some inherent supernatural ability to "see" better than anyone else this "natural world".

When you begin to support your assertions with sound biblical truth instead of deriding others with condemnation, like the troll Rajk, then I'll begin to take you seriously.

Untill then I have no use for you high minded self righteous meanderings.

Not the Jesus you believe in. You believe in a false Jesus.

What leads you to believe that I care if you agree with me or not. I have no desire to get you to believe the truth.
