Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I was thinking today, what if we're a story in a new Bible God and the angels are recording? Lately with all the happenings, it made me think we're like the 2024 version of the Hebrew slaves in Egypt (tax, insurance, finance, chip id, big pharma, basically entire system) and how Moses got them out. I wonder if all these things must happen because mankind's heart has grown cold and weary, and we need to be what? Rejuvenated, reset? I don't even know the word for it.
Look at all the technology we've got today, all the movies, music, are all these part of God's plan? is Earth really ours or devil's playground to test and challenge us? We will either become a perfect bread from the oven, or burnt and thrown out. Is life on Earth just a passing pit stop before our ascension or descention?
Look at all the immoral things we've done as mankind.. war after war, drama within homes, within neighborhood, schools, workplace, and it's never ending. What if this is just a simulation or a realm, or part of God's dream? Is life here real or is the afterlife the real life? That's why I worry more about where I'll be after death than life here on earth which can be short for some and too long for others...what can we base our judgement on to say what's fair and unfair?
In the end I conclude we need to live by Faith, not by Fear. Faith is the eye of our soul. When everything is gone, when the world (illusion) is gone and destroyed, all we have left is what's good. Only God is good and perfect. If we remain in Him we can have eternal life. And the best part is it cost nothing. Jesus already paid it all on the cross. That;s why we always say GOD WINS. In the end God wins. They can tear down churches, people, countries, but God can rebuild everything in a day. And I have a hunch the devil really hates the saying GOD WINS! So Cheer up everyone.. and build up your faith daily no matter what!
