...nck, <br /><br />Yes, you have clarified your perspective. <br /><br />I however, will call out the United Nations and the others you mentioned on their view and yours, that, "this world has never been a better place than today". I was not referring to "personal circumstances" but a personal view of the world around me and the suffering I see in it. <br /><br />One example being, the education of a child has absolutely nothing to do with that child personally feeling "safe". Education is often merely a diversion to the rage and violence in a child's home or community. Wars are not only the declared version. The homes / communities of many children are filled with raised voices, sudden outbursts, thrown dishes, or simply the tension that results in the same...those things ARE war for a child. They are bullets and bombs, grenades and land mines that create a NO safety zone. I could go on but I think you get the idea of what I mean. <br /><br />This world is blind to suffering, they use very peculiar standards to define 'safety'. Perhaps that is why it will be said, "peace, peace, then sudden destruction". set the captives freenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-79265400577254582472017-10-31T03:36:09.486-07:002017-10-31T03:36:09.486-07:00Safety is often a relative term, one that deals in...Safety is often a relative term, one that deals in factors and percentages, as opposed to being a total package. As an example, you could live in a country with a just government, not at war, but have a famine taking place, so that you and your fellow citizens are not "food safe". So many of humanity's advancements have been born from adverse conditions that it is not truly advantageous to have 100% safety. There must be catalysts that humanity strives against. It is difficult to imagine the millennium as Armstrongism taught it, because the citizens would become complacent. I hate to say it, but their millennium appears to be "perfect" socialism.<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-50384714635205173922017-10-29T22:42:22.013-07:002017-10-29T22:42:22.013-07:00The common mathematical mistake you made is that p...The common mathematical mistake you made is that perhaps more people in absolutes feel unsafe. (which is wrong also since I lived through the Cold War which was terrible psychologically.<br /><br />But in relative numbers or percentages overall wealth distribution, medecine, longevity, health and education statistics have never been better in the history of mankind.<br /><br />Think globally. I do however acknowledge the stress and friction caused by individual transfer of wealth to other segments. Like the drug problem among American white people caused by transfer of wealth/assembly jobs toward poorer parts of the world creating a surge of well being never enjoyed " over there".<br /><br />I hope this answers your question regarding my perspective. <br /><br />Ncknckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580008070423402328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-75924150967125274512017-10-29T22:30:38.321-07:002017-10-29T22:30:38.321-07:00Hello 2:15

Education for every child on earth is way up.<br /><br />Etcetcetc.<br /><br />1.5 billion people Asia have been raised out of povery in the past 20 years.<br /><br />The price of solar has dropped to 15 percent of 10 years ago.<br /><br />So no, I am not referring to your or my personal circumstances but at the aggregate level of godly (global) statistics.<br /><br />Securuty technology already being implemented in China proves that something very much resembling the social order of the Armstrongite World Tomorrow, which was named after the 1939 technology fair "The World of Tomorrow" is at hand.<br /><br />Herbert E Armstrong was right.

When I think of all the situations, wars, terrorism, extreme poverty, domestic violence, and a multitude of other suffering, I do not see people feeling "safe". The majority of the world does not feel "safe", or are you referring simply to your own sphere of existence? Not denying that faith can and does give great peace but there are so many human beings in various life situations that do not have safety. You do realize that I hope.<br /><br />Maybe I don't understand your meaning of safe. What are you referring to as 'feeling safe'?set the captives freenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-52646677804490888972017-10-29T09:14:42.590-07:002017-10-29T09:14:42.590-07:00Didn't the door open in 70 AD?Didn't the door open in 70 AD?
