Do you guys honestly believe that the world is getting worse?

Before the flood the Bible says "The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time."

I would say that we are much much better than that!

What is it that is happening that makes the world so much worse? Murder? Rape? War? Poverty? I suggest that there is nothing new under the sun. These things have existed since the beginning, the price of living in a world with free will.

What say you?

Yes, its getting worse; much worse! How much of the following do we witness taking place around the world today?

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth" II Timothy 3:1-7).

Remember also, Paul the apostle advises concerning the abundance of false prophets which would arise during the perilous hours of the last days:

"But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived" (II Timothy 3:13).
