As an ethnical Russian, I wish that the war between our countries comes to an end by the will of God. Peace be with you, brother!

“There are many religions but only one empty tomb” OH MY GOSHHHHHG

One of the ways that I think of hardship, especially the hardship Christians must endure is: “you can either live a lifetime of happiness for an eternity of hardship, or a lifetime of hardship for a eternity of happiness”

The reason I believe in God is because my heart has stopped 7 times. Something wants me here.

I love Ecclesiastes' view on suffering. A lot of people who deconstructed from the faith or know baseline what Christianity is hear about it, hear people say "I found God and I was in the dumps and now I have a nice house and stuff bc God gave it to me bc of faithfulness", they hear people who say "if you pray about it hard enough God will fix it", they hear people who can't fathom or understand why God didn't heal someone from a terminal illness and "let them die." But what these people- as well as many Christians- don't understand is that BELIEVING IN GOD DOESN'T MEAN HE WILL REWARD YOU WITH AN EASIER TIME ON EARTH. Instead the bible warns us of how being a believer may come with even more struggles and trials- just look at the gruesome ways the disciples all died, and the struggling lives they had. Ecclesiastes uprooted my misguided understanding of the Christian faith by introducing the idea that believers and non-believers both experience suffering, but believers can take courage in the knowledge that there is reason for their suffering- that we live in a broken world. And that if we let God, he can use the harmful things that happen to and around us for our spiritual maturity. God does not create suffering; suffering is not of God. But it happens because the world is fallen, because people don't follow his plans, and yet, God can make something of it.

This is truly inspired by the Holy Spirit! I haven't yet seen such a down to earth analysis or the evidences for faith. Part 3 is a must!

The Book of judges is presented as a reason we need God.

Jesus Christ came to my aid when I was attacked by a demonic spirit. CHRIST IS KING

Man, I pray to God this isn't just another big sigh and waste of time.

I have discussions like this with my best atheist friend and I've learnt that unfortunately there is no way that we can convince someone of these points without them being dismissed in some way.

The first verse of the Torah has a numeric value of 2701.

Very well done. Keep going and may the Holy Spirit keep guiding you, Amen.

2:19

And it sucks to hear some people completely ignore these points and dig their head into the sand. I pray for all of you amen
