I LOVE GOD
Romans 8
38 For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

THANKS BROTHER
Stop worshipping a jew
God loves us not because of what we have or what we have done but because of who He is. He doesn't need anything from us. He just wants us to receive and to rest in His love for us in Christ.
Thanks fren
God is our best friend. I love you, God.
I think to truly be receptive to belief, one has to be truly hurt. To truly be hurt is to be truly be humbled, to recognize that truly, you are not strong enough, and that you are wretched.

Amen. We must first stop believing in ourselves so we can believe in Jesus.
John 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
John 6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
John 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Lol imagine caring about some dead rabbi
Why is it that in all the texts of all the religions that have ever existed, none even begin to come close to the pure beauty and aestheticism of the Bible.

Ps 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
Hippolytus of Rome (170-235AD)
When I was christian I felt constant doubt, obsession about hell, and I had to constantly try to guess what gods will was for me.
I read bible verses and noticed contridictions, or things that were just retarded, I tried to logically make it work. My head literally started hurting trying to "harmonize" the verses.
I had a huge mental fog when I was a christian, it ruined my critical thinking, I couldnt achieve anything on "my own strength because without Jesus I cannot do anything", and all glory belong to Jesus not me. I couldnt "stop fapping/drinking on my own" but i was only allowed to beg Jesus to take it away from me.
When I succeed in anything by sheer willpower, I was being "prideful" and "self-glorifying".
This religion is a mental disease, a mind virus, I could literally feel like I was being possessed by something when I was part of it. Part of the mindvirus/cult is the threat that once you leave it, you can "never be brought back to repentance, because you crucify Jesus again to his shame", so most people are too afraid to leave it for a few months, and look back at it from an outside perspective. It's a psychological prison in so many ways I can't explain yet.
There is a large percentage of people who suffer from Religious trauma from christianity. I used to sperg out to all my friends and family about how Jesus loves them, but will burn them in hell forever if they dont believe in him and I quoted all those schizophrenic verses to them. I lied and said Jesus brings joy and freedom, but I was extremely depressed and obsessed about hell and misery all the time. I became a more callous person, I stopped loving people genuinly but instead just tried to brainwash people to become christian.

What was your motive for studying the Bible? To know our God or for selfish gain? God looks at the motive or the heart behind our actions and not at their appearance.
To know god and live according to his will
The Bible says that God is the expression of love or selflessness or selfless love. He doesn't need anything from us. He just wants us to believe in His love for us through His word.
1John 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
1John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
1John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
1John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
1John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.
Maybe because all other religions are about the glorification of the triumph of self, which is inherently selfish in nature, rather than the sacrifice of self for the sake of another (Christ and your brothers), which is far more meaningful, and thus inspiring.
Maybe.
