Answer: No

I'll explain later this week 😃

My answer is a no as well. By focusing on your job or career to give you peace, that is putting the job ahead of God. That is the definition of idolatry.

🤔 I suppose I wasn’t thinking about the question deep enough.

I guess I’m thinking of fulfillment in the job

Oh btw, my answer was no before i started rambling. I kno jesse would want a no or yes lol

No, I don't think a career can bring peace

My answer is yes, if you are about to be kicked out on the street due to lack of funds and God sends you a job.

I think it can bc it brings a steady way of life. It might not be completely peaceful since you still have healthy stress but its better than being all over the place IMO

I will love to answer the biblical question.

Yes, a job/career brings you peace. A job brings you financial stability which brings financial peace. A career brings mental stability which gives you mental peace. Considering both of those elements are which of you choose and enjoy. Stress is part of life, though situations are part of growing up and dealing with them makes you develop character (one of the previous biblical question), stoic, patience, whichever.

In resume, Yes they bring individual peace. Now we need alot of peace/stability but those two are a highlighted nowadays. Family stability and spiritual stability are other two who alot of people are strifing to achieve but need to do so in order to reach true peace/stability.

I would love to go deep into the subject, love the biblical question part of the week. Keep it up 😄

I love it!! Wonderful contributions and thoughts everyone!! Keep them coming!

God sent Trump and Trump sends jobs so jobs are of God.

*BIBLICAL QUESTION OF THE WEEK (9/23 - 9/29):*
Do you believe God loves you as you are?

I think God loves me as I am. I seek truth and integrity, honesty, but above all the patience to be still and to know God.

They say that God is Love, and if you hate or have anger then you have no love. And God is also within, but within where? In the body or in the mind? In the heart/soul/gut? Maybe God's love is a sense of Peace knowing that you are living and loving what is right. But maybe God's love is also a stern correction when you are going wrong. So, i say that since God is love, and either you are in his favor or you are being corrected with love as well. If we are not supposed to hate, and if we banish hate then we attain God's nature, then God must be all love, all of the time, so that means that God loves me no matter what. Jesus teaches to forgive your enemies, and if God doesn't also do that he would be a child of the lie himself. So therefore, yes, God loves me the way I am because love is not an emotional feeling and God is not fickle and changing his mind all the time like people with anger who will turn on you in a heartbeat.

Yes of course he loves me 🌱

God loves me no matter how I am. He may not love my actions at times, but he always loves me. He is the perfect father. No matter what my child did, I would still love them. I would correct them if they were wrong, but that does not take from the love.

I think God loves me as a person, but is always wishing for me to improve as a person. Like a dad who wants their son to be a better person than they were, but on a whole new level

God probably doesn't think I meet His standards and if there is love then it is the quiet disappointed love of a parent watching their child do dumb stuff.

God loves all people unconditionally because they possess the divine spark of the spirit. But God also loves the good, so it's devastating to God to see his children acting in evil, after gifting them with the ultimate gift of godliness. God loves you but hates evil. Your divine soul is not evil, but the infection of sin has rotted away at the initial gift.

One of the biggest lies of modern times is the idea that good and evil are on the same terms. Balance is now constantly preached between the divine forces, be it Confucianism, Buddism, The Force, whatever. It was the cultural precursor to post-modernism, where instead of evil simply being a lack of good, like rust on metal, it started to evolve into a matter of point of view. It was the idea that both forces believed that they were doing their own good. Often it was the idea of committing acts for the "greater good" that drove the politics of the second half of the 20th Century, be it the application of Marxist ideology with Communism, or the liberal movements that were happening in the 70s (which involved just as much Communist Sympathising as now). There is not greater good. There is the good. Greater good is a tool of confusion, because the devil wants his followers to be blind. God is a god of truth. His followers know the good and love the good, because God has made the good known to those who look for it. In many ways this gift is the ultimate act of love; he has given us the keys to virtue and happiness so long as we accept the gift. The condition in a sense is that the gift requires that we accept it, because God is loving enough to let people follow their own carnal desires should they not accept it.

I've been needing to vent for a while, hope you guys don't mind.

@Koraii no problem! This last paragraph that you wrote would best fit in the <#467164315598979072> section.

BIBLICAL QUESTION OF THE WEEK (10/1 - 10/6):
*Can you know if a person who dies is going to Heaven?*

God knows me inside, and out. He knows my heart, and that I strive to please him. In the past, he let me get away with things for lack of knowledge. He does not allow me any slack at this point. He saved my life, and I am on borrowed time. I never stop growing, and have success as long as I never stop moving forward. God loved me when I was a terrible mess. His love never changes for us. I live every second for him now, and he loves me exactly the same as when I was struggling. He looks at me with favor now, and blesses me. It is not that he loves me more, but I know that he is finally pleased with me. There is no time with God. He knows us in the future as well as present. His love knows no time as well. If I had children, I would not love one less if they are not pleasing me at the moment. My love could not change if I wanted it to. It is easy to understand God. I just think of what the best dad in the world would think about things. That along with scripture paint a clear picture for me.

BIBLICAL QUESTION OF THE WEEK (10/7 - 10/13):
*Why are adult women saying publicly that they have been sexually assaulted?*

Similarly to what is going on in the black community, women have fallen under the lie of victimhood. There are women who genuinely believe in the lie and truly feel they have been raped. What has happened in modern times, our definition of rape has been changed to if you someday regret your immoral sexual decision making, or simply if you led a guy on, got physical with him and then even though you felt in your mind you didn't want to continue on with sex, didn't verbally say "No." But men aren't mind readers and if you, for lack of better words, be a 'tease," there's going to be some consequences.... At the end of the day, it is absolutely imperative that women break out of the victimhood mentality & start taking responsibility for their actions and the consequences of poor decisions. They have to realize that these outdone cries of rape, delegitimizes the ACTUAL victims of rape, under the true definition of what rape is....

More women need to tell other women the truth of this matter as well. I know from experience that being a woman myself and telling other women this have gotten me into ALOT of trouble. And they call you all types of names too. But feeding into the victimhood does not mean that you love women; you love women when you tell them the truth. And though I hate to admit it in these modern times, I still do love women. *cringe*

Let's look at this logically.

Women are smaller and weaker then men

So physical threats and violence don't work on men

So they resort to what women do best

Which is starting drama

Women rely more on psychological violence compared to men
The whole metoo thing gave them an awful amount of power
Some abuse it

And they convince themselves that they are the victim of some abuse

Some are the victims of abuse and it's sad to hear

But most are just blowing things out of proportion or straight lying
