I simply mean that what seems like forever to us is but a short time to God. I wasn't implying a symbolic reckoning of time interval.

Very popular to those who are truly hungry and thirsty for God and the things of God, but likely very unpopular with the secular powers which grow seemingly less like God all of the time...
You don't vote?!!
Lol. No! And the headache people give me for it!
You are going to make me gag on all of your virtue signaling.
Hahaha!I know something that will probably give you a worse one.

I disagree. You see Christians are to live not for themselves as illustrated by the phrase JOY - Jesus first, others second, and yourself last. Too many during this pandemic are putting themselves first instead of as Christ has said "love your neighbor as yourself" which I have seen many whom claim Christ on forums not do.
I will continue no further correspondence with you and by the way I am not a liberal, can't stand them.
It is not that I don’t care for you, but you are very hard to take with your attitude of wouldn’t the world be so nice if all Christians would be truly good ones, like me. They have forgotten how to act like Christians, but I can teach them how to act like a proper Christian if they will just mimic me and repeat the phrases I repeat. I question if someone who doesn’t want this vaccine is even a Christian and to signal to everyone that I doubt they know God, and to signal my disdain for all to see I will not call them Christian, I will call them “Christian.” If they will not think like me and act like me I will not even speak to them any more or they may spot my spotless robe because I sang a sad song and they didnt cry.
And you think I say this to you because I don’t care for you, probably haven’t met God, and don’t have any love.
You judge men by the outside of their cup and think it is the proper way to judge. This is not to follow Jesus.
All men have to follow their conscience and walk out their trust. I believe that God puts rulers in their seat and removes rulers from their seat and that it is the arrogance of men to believe they are the ones who put rulers in their seat and remove them. I believe it is God who controls world events. Because I believe these things God has said, I do not vote. It is walking out my believing and trusting Him to try not to get caught up in the affairs of the world and to let Him handle what He has said He handles and determines. I do not expect anyone to do as I do. Every man must walk in their own trust and follow their own conscience.
He is judging the fruits of their actions...all men have fruit. Bad fruit doesn't come from a good tree nor does good fruit come a bad tree. It is out of the heart that which people treasure is discovered.
And what he is shocked about is so many people who claim Christ are behaving so self centered and worried about their rights/inconvenience it's somewhat shocking. Especially when 100 years or so ago the conservatives (republicans) were all pro mask and vaccines and the liberals (democrats) were holding the exact same position that the conservatives are today.
Now where I'm not a fan of speaking ill of our leaders...I'm not a fan of where they are standing today. And judging the fruits of their actions...I'm not exactly sure what they are doing.
im not sure what they are doing either and I think they do not even know what they are doing and I do not do what men say when they do not know what they are doing.
I am not against medicine. The Eber Scroll of the Egyptians was a compendium of the medical practices of the Hebrew people, which the Egyptians called Ebers. I do not recommend reading it unless you want to fall asleep, but there is one very amazing thing in it. They tell what the Ebers God instructed when they got a cut. They rubbed a piece of moldy bread on it. Hundreds and hundreds of years before they made penicillin from mold, they knew to rub mold on a cut!
im not against medicine. I’m just not going to trust and do what men tell me I should trust and do. I do not trust that these men know what they are doing. I do not think the vaccine is the mark but I do see shadows there.
Everyone must walk out their trust and follow their conscience. I do not say they must do what I do. I have no problem with Tao judging that the fruit of my actions is bad. I only care what God thinks of me. He will judge if I have trusted Him or not. I’m not mad or concerned that men think I have bad fruit. God will judge if I have done wickedly or have not trusted Him or have loved my own life. And He will judge correctly.

And what you have just described in detail is precisely what Jesus said not to do. Exactly what you just finished accusing someone else of doing. Wide difference between the two. I'm surprised you don't know the difference.
