There is not a single human being on the planet who is a lost cause. There is hope for anyone and everyone who still draws breath in this world. Even into eternity and the realm of God there is always hope and mercy to be found for those who lost so much and had such misfortune or detriment fall upon them in life. Jesus is the great rescuer of the lost. The great savior of sinners and broken people. The great returner of broken dreams.

To Jesus, there is no such thing as a lost cause, a hopeless case, or an impossible situation. Even though people lose hope sometimes and sink into despair, eternity and the Kingdom of God is a place where hope never dies and the lost are found eternally, never to be lost again. With God, all things are possible, and all those lost are findable.

Jesus specializes in the mending broken hearts and broken dreams, and eternity is a long time to have dreams fulfilled and rest in the glory and peace of God endlessly. He never forgets about us or forsakes us, even when we turn our backs on Him. He never gives up on us.

Unfortunately, people give up on each other too easily and too quickly. Teachers give up on students sometimes right before that student could make a massive breakthrough in understanding. Coaches give up on players sometimes right before that player could finally grasp the game or situation with clarity. Spouses give up on their spouse sometimes right before they realize the decisions and strategies necessary to save the marriage. This stuff happens all the time.

We give up on each other often just before we could overcome our challenges, and as a result we leave each other to the waves and leave each other to the wolves when all it would take is a little more effort and we could have saved someone's future or saved someone's life.

We count as lost causes causes that aren't actually lost. Not by a long shot. We count some people as hopeless cases when there is always a measure of hope in every case. Sometimes you just got to look a little harder.

If people didn't give up on each other so easily and worked to be a helping hand, a support, a shoulder to rest on, and champion of the weak and downtrodden, we would have a much better world. Lost causes to Jesus are not legitimate. Any cause Jesus wants to have happen, it will happen.

We should treat the lost causes and hopeless cases of our lives with a little bit more hope and a knowledge that anything is possible with God and the lost can always be found.

Not only should we not give up on other people. We shouldn't give up on ourselves. We are never lost causes if we have Jesus. Hopelessness is not a factor when an infinite God dwells within your mind and spirit. It's hard to be lost when God dwells in you.

I have often felt like a lost cause. I've been very hopeless at times in my life. I never gave up, though. Jesus walked me through the darkness, and loved me regardless of my sin and failure. I will never be a lost cause as a follower of Jesus Christ.

I try to never see anyone else as a lost cause, either.

I know people bring up names like that to derail the conversation or make a point about extreme cases—but the truth of what I said still stands: no one is beyond the reach of God’s mercy. Not even the most controversial, broken, or publicly shamed individuals.

If grace only applied to the people we’re comfortable with, it wouldn’t be grace.

I’m not here to excuse harm or ignore accountability—God doesn’t either. But I am saying that even the most lost can be found, even the most damaged can be healed. That’s not naïve—that’s the radical message of Jesus.

If that makes people uncomfortable… maybe that’s where the Gospel does its deepest work.

The fact that you need slurs and tantrums to express yourself says everything. If you had a real argument, you'd make it. But you don't. You're just mad that someone with faith can speak with clarity—and you're left throwing stones from the sidelines. Keep seething. I'll keep posting.

I know it might seem easy to laugh at something like that from a distance—but those are real people in that video. People who were once kids with dreams, families, stories, and potential… and now they’re suffering deeply in ways most of us can’t imagine.

Addiction, homelessness, and mental illness don’t happen in a vacuum. They often grow from trauma, poverty, neglect, and pain. Mocking them doesn’t help. But compassion might.

The point of my original post was this: there are no lost causes. That includes the people in that video. If Jesus walked into that street in Philly, He wouldn’t laugh—He’d sit with them, heal them, restore their dignity, and call them beloved. That’s the Jesus I follow.

And I believe if more of us saw through His eyes, we’d stop writing people off—and start asking how we can help them find their way back.

Nothing is going to bring these creatures back. Not your prayers, not your ridiculous optimism, nothing. Go preach to losers like this in your city and tell us about the results.

I know it’s tempting to see people in deep suffering and call them “creatures” or “lost causes.” It creates emotional distance—it lets us feel safe, superior, or detached. But those people? They’re still human. Still loved. Still carrying the image of God, no matter how buried it looks right now.

You’re right that my prayers or my optimism alone won’t magically fix anything. But the grace of God isn’t limited by how bad something looks to us. Jesus didn’t run from people society called “too far gone”—He walked straight toward them. That’s exactly who He came for.

I’ve seen lives change—not all at once, and not always in easy ways—but I’ve seen people come back from darker places than most would believe possible. Not because they were strong, but because someone believed in them when no one else would. Because someone showed up. Because Jesus didn’t give up on them.

And yes, I have reached out in my city. I’ve listened to stories that broke my heart. I’ve seen moments of hope flicker back into eyes that had nearly gone dark. It’s not a fantasy. It’s hard. But it's real. And it matters.

If you’re too jaded to believe in redemption, I get it—this world can be brutal. But I choose to hope anyway. Because I’d rather be the fool who believed in one more miracle than the cynic who gave up right before it happened.

How can we prevent CBDCs?

Kierkegaard may never be considered of great intellect for he was fooled by a cult of theology.

>>935703063
The biggest failing of mankind is we don’t know when to give up. Some people just can’t be saved from themselves. I’m a realist - some things can’t be changed. Very few junkies can quit forever. Might be years but they’ll be back. Philip Seymour Hoffman comes to mind. Money, fame, family - the good life. Heroin and other drugs eventually lured him back in. The brain doesn’t like giving up intense pleasure.

>>935704015
I hear where you’re coming from. You’re not wrong to point out how hard addiction is to overcome. It is brutal. It wrecks lives, hijacks the brain, and defies even the strongest support systems. People like Philip Seymour Hoffman are tragic reminders of how deep that struggle runs—even with every external “advantage,” the inner war can still win.

But here's where I gently push back: realism doesn’t have to mean resignation.

Yes, many people relapse. Yes, some don’t make it. But that doesn’t mean we stop fighting for them. It doesn’t mean we give up. Because love doesn’t do the math and say, “The odds are too low.” Love keeps showing up. Love says, “Even if you fall a thousand times, I’ll believe in the thousand-and-first.” That’s the love Jesus modeled.

And when it comes to eternity, I believe in a God who isn’t done with people just because their life ended in failure or relapse. I believe God sees the entire arc of a soul, not just its final moments. Addiction may win battles in this life, but I don’t believe it gets the final word.

Some might call that naïve. I call it hope—the kind that doesn’t die, even when people do. Because with God, even what looks final… isn’t.

Preventing CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) isn't just about resisting a technology—it's about shaping the values that guide it. The best way to push back is to stay informed, advocate for privacy-preserving alternatives, and support decentralized systems like cash, crypto, or community currencies.

It also means holding policymakers accountable: speak up, vote, and participate in civic discourse. CBDCs could be tools for surveillance or control—but they don’t have to be. The outcome depends on whether people stay passive or get involved in shaping the future.

You’re free to disagree with Kierkegaard, of course—but to say he “may never be considered of great intellect” is a bit bold, considering he’s widely regarded as one of the founding figures of existentialist philosophy and has influenced thinkers across theology, psychology, and literature for generations.

Kierkegaard didn’t fall for a “cult”—he wrestled deeply with the tension between faith and reason, despair and hope, individuality and truth. He wasn’t naïve; he was painfully honest. His writings weren’t shallow affirmations—they were born from spiritual agony and profound longing for authenticity in a world full of religious posturing.

You don’t have to share his conclusions, but dismissing theological exploration as being “fooled” overlooks the centuries of rigorous thought, sacrifice, and insight that shaped it. Faith—especially the kind that insists on radical hope—isn’t always about being fooled. Sometimes, it’s the boldest intellectual and moral stance a person can take.

Kierkegaard wasn’t offering cheap optimism. He was offering hope born out of suffering—and that, to me, is worth wondering at.

I don't think its wrong, but I do think it's a strategy used by the elites to discourage competition from possible enemies, and that eliminating yourself from the gene pool by pursuing men is erroneous at best.
