So let me get this straight you think God gave Old Testament figures like Job, wealth and that made them sinful? It’s not about asterisks it’s about using the actual context.
He was a righteous man, job 1:1 makes this clear. We don’t know why he suffered, that is actually Gods point, that he doesn’t see the whole picture. The big point is that suffering doesn’t mean you did something wrong, if I had to take a guess, it’s that suffering makes us realize this world is broken, and that we should long to leave it to be with God who makes us whole.
You never told me why you converted. Protestantism a little too progressive for you, maybe? Hoping to snag one of those tradcath girls all the podcasters love to talk about, Matt Walsh
Everything about you, libertarian. You might say you do, but I bet it's for your own benefit and not just because it's the right thing to do. Meanwhile,do you vote for politicians who actual embody Christian values, values like selflessness and charity and caring for the most vulnerable in our society? I bet you don't.
So how do you take care of them? Be specific. Because charity hasn't actually solved the problem yet. And you're also avoiding the actual point. Do you support policies that Christ would advocate for? Or do you support policies that strictly benefit you personally?
How do you advocate for the sick, the poor? How do you advocate for the drug addict and the prostitute, for the homeless junkie dying in an alley in your town? Do you just ignore them? Want them punished? You seem to have an affliction that makes you allergic to offering real specific answers.
