Just thinking tonight, why wasn't I one of the ones who fell for the BS shot? My whole family are Christians, but every single one of them fell for it.
Why did God give me discernment and not them? Is there some sort of purpose behind this?
Wondering if anyone has some sort of commentary towards this, because I definitely do not feel worthy or special in any way. In fact, they are way better people than I am.
Who knows. This war is fascinating and all I can do is trust in God. Because I sure as hell do not trust anything else anymore.
Would you sacrifice yourself for your children? For we are His children.
He is the perfect Father.
They tortured Him for hours as He prayed for them.
Jesus: "FATHER WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME!!?!?!?"
The pain the Lord suffered on that day was immense, he felt the full punishment in his human form of the sin of mankind while being completely innocent of it. He did nothing but love us and we tortured and killed Him for it. We are the ones needing/asking for sacrifice, not God.
Jesus went down to hell, where there is gnashing of the teeth and after 3 days rose up with the souls trapped there and opened the doors to heaven.
God doesn't need to feel pain, but He did, and that pain was real to Him just like it is for you.
Well he didn't do anything wrong and suffered hell, why would he stay there eternally? He picked up the people who where able to win God's mercy
The Lord was persecuted His whole life too, and His mom, who was also innocent of any sin, a beautiful innocent creature hunted down by the government of their time. Witnessing the genocide of babies, having to flee and to hide, while being poor. People wouldn't even open the door to this beautiful pregnant lady about to birth our savior. His friends denied Him as He died for them, as His mother watched. Yeah they had the protection of Angels but so do we, if God didn't sacrifice then what did he do? Vacation? This is fun to Him who is all love all patience and all understanding?
I'm aware that the devil still owns this world, the time for miracles and mercy is not over. He's coming back with fire and fury too.
We conquer evil with whatever means necessary but Love is the best weapon.
Why would there be an opposer if we aren't supposed to win? There can't be an enemy that isn't meant to be defeated. The way to destroy the enemy is to love God above all else and your neighbor as you love yourself.
Ephesians 6:12 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
It's not His fault we are evil, stubborn and proud. I'm glad he shows us enough hints and clues of His love and mercy that a wretch like me can believe!
This contradicts your comment i was referring to then.
You remind me of the cocky 22yo atheist spewing nonsense at the office coffee maker. Grow up and stop acting foolish.
