It doesn't make sense (the universe, everything) without intelligent design to me.

But it seems like no matter how hard I try, and pray, never really lines up. I know he's there, I damn well do.

He's worked miracles all around me, not necessarily to me,

but everywhere that I can see.

I feel him.

But I hear nothing.

God is good, and God is God. He has his own ways of doing things that we can't comprehend because his ways are not out ways.

I'm well aware. That's partly what worries me somewhat.

In the same way that God destined his own son to die,

I believe that similar misfortunes may befall peoples across the world to benefit man in the longterm.

However he might have his way

*Thy will be done.*

I have no way of knowing what's going on in your life specifically, so I can't give a satisfying response, but I will say this: you're right his will be done, and we don't understand it or know how it'll work out in the end, and it's terrifying sometimes.

The mystery of God and his ways is part of why we should have a healthy fear of God

You never need to give a satisfying response, Simon, I don't mean to frustrate you. You tell me exactly what I need to hear. You're kind and genuine.

The fact that you give response at all says something.

Goodnight.

God love you.

Thanks man, don't worry, you didn't frustrate me. You're a solid guy, and I know God is going to get you through whatever it is you're going through.

Goodnight and God love you too

@Thomas praying for you and the rest of the server as well. <:jesus:417536063540559872>

bps still holds enlightenment bs tho

and another fun finding: black death comes from asia, asians are not blamed for the worst disease in human history (for the right reason), although europeans are widely (wrongly) blamed for spreading disease to conquer native americans

but europeans did not delibrately spread disease to native american

but mongolians literally used disease as a weapon when attacking europe

and another fun finding:

actually medieval is a great time and the end of it welcomes absolute monarchy despotism, however, the end of feudal monarchy are described as a great turning point ending the dark age, even the cause (horrible black death) is praised.

Does that come from enlightenment hatred against medieval feudalism and the religion?

and the anti-white hatred in modern progressive history narratives?

Please pray for all the nickers

I need some myself

If anyone is interested, I am reading aloud the entire bible over a 1 year period on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkV8FGKRJQnw1_50XMxZPIg/featured?view_as=subscriber You can follow along and just listen and in one year you will have read the whole bible!

I've read four days so far.

Pray for me fellas. I need to be responsible and wise

No cultural Christians allowed?

Yup

In excelsis Deo, or maybe Gloria Dei/Deo(?) @(((The George Borjas)))

@(((The George Borjas))) okay, this is epic.

Deus Vult is probably the most common and well-known

Yes but the Islamic equivalent to that would be “inshallah”.
