Have you wondered why all the rioting and verbal attacks on our president, as well as encouraging someone to assassinate our leaders?
It's simple!
Narcissists hate to lose, they have the mentality of an angry bratty six year old. If they can't win they will ruin the game for you.
What we are seeing today is 2 Timothy 3 being played out in triplicates.
Back in the day, only the rare bully was acting like this, but lately I am almost numb, meaning I have become used to this mess, expecting it to increase not because I am a pessimist but because of what God says about the mentality present at the end of the end.
We are to expose those who act like this, it accomplishes two things, it prevents others from following rebellious people as well as giving us wisdom in how to deal with them. We tell the truth about them and then we remove ourselves from them. Anything else is validating their evil, making us a part of their sin.
2 Timothy 3
3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.
6 For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses,
7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith.
9 But they will not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all, just as Jannes’s and Jambres’s folly was also.
10 Now you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, perseverance,
11 persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord rescued me!
12 Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
13 But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14 You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;
17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work."
