Well...dosn't God deliver whats deserving ?
This is exactly what I said in my post.
You seem to have missed my point, you cannot even think of your brother. You have gone into one of your stories.
Knock it off.
Just seen this.
Maybe I was proving your other point on the topic of "meeting nothing but bad women"....was deserving of me, {on the other thread}....And yet here...WE AGREE...God tests people.
We can't have it
both ways and declare
ONE rule either way !!
Either my entire life has been a jnxed one barely worth living since age "8",{not many 8 year olds DESERVE being molested,having house burnt down & all pets killed!}..because "I deserved it" or because God is testing the heck out of me !! {Much like Job,in the book of Job}.Its been about that calibre...and I do believe Job actually got himself a good woman.....and then a 2nd one even better than the 1st !!. heheh
I'm still searching.
As for "my stories" as you put it...My Faiths been tested. People can learn by example from it.No different than the Book of Job.
And I have more RESPECT & and alot more TRUST in people with horrifically BAD LIVES compared to those "Christians" who simply "read the book", understood it....and
had some faith.{Because it sat well with them.} But, these people tend to be the type to look at a "Homeless person" and simply pluck a line or two out of Scripture and say "Must be his lot in life.God's will, so I won't interfere".
Sounds alot like they're using the Bible to "cop out" of much brotherly love !!!!. Comes across as....smug & sociopathic to me !.
Those people are forgetting :
John 12:25
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.My Life hasn't been worth living since 1982 !. Non-stop jinxes...everything I ever attempt.Trapped in a land I HATE.
John 15:18
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.And there are very very VERY few that ain't been HATED like I have.But, some people love to prove that point over & over again.Helping me EARN the "attitude" I have.And it is well earned indeed.
What most people seem to think is I am like 99% of other people with a "plastic fake attitude".Like UPPITY NIGGERS have.
Knock it off ?,...or what !?
