Christians are quick to state that every word in the Bible is true. However, I can point out some things that make me question it..Like, the statements that,"this too shall pass", and "to everything there is a season, a time to .."Now.. these statements show, that at least on this side of eternity, things are temporary,have a beginning and an end. But certain circumstances that I've been through seem to prove that false. 3 examples--these stupid dictatorship restrictions over you know what.that ALL of us have to suffer through because SOME of us are afraid of it. Complete unfaiirmess. But has it ended?On the contrary,every time we hope for that to happen,some "negative Nellie"comes on the tv and suggests that we EXTEND the restrictions.Now do the math, if we keep extrending it over and over eventually it becomes we NEVER lift them ,contrary to the Bible which implies that things have a beginning and an end.So who's right, the Bible or negative nellies like Dr Fauci and that Nazi governer of Michigan, and those Democrats whose only goal is to make Trump look bad?Case 2 of things not ending,{ when the Bible says they would}, my mother died like 6 weeks ago, and the red tape in cleaning up her affairs, and transitioning things over to me,is still hot and heavy. Every time I think I'm caught up, another "surprise" comes that puts me back in the red tape.I mean , the woman died 6 weeks ago, do you mean to tell me 30 years from now, when she's a skeleton, I'll still be dealing with red tape from the "transition phase?"And thirdly, there are some annoying people I deal with, and nothing works to get rid of them. One is an old lady will be 97 in June. But the progression of things doesn't catch up with her, so in sync with her age the daughter will take her in with her, or she's go in assisted living, or at 97 she would even reach her lifespan and bye bye.{All these of which would get her off my back, because she's VERY annoying.}But no, 10 years from now at 107 she'll still be around driving me crazy, .So the question is, if the Bible implies that things on this side are temporary,why do situations like the ones I described seem to go on forever?Did the Bible miss something when it stated that that all things have their time? Are the things I deal with an "exception"?You tell me.
 
Yeah but also remember, when God "takes His time, He's up in Heaven , but I'm the one here dealing with the problem situations. So that's why I'm less patient than Him!!

Galatians 5:22 New Living Transaltion (NLT)
But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

Romans 5:4 New Living Translation (NLT)
And endurance (patience) develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.


1 Thessalonians 5:18 New Living Translation (NLT)
18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
 
We can take , and understand , something up to a point. But this going on and on an on stuff, or one thing after another, is what wears us down.
Yeah that's easy for God because He's in Heaven, but I'm the one down here dealing with it!
yes you are down here with all of us, and our God the only 1 whose son died on the cross for ALL OF US is listening to all of our prayers, all of our complaints, all our losses, all our victories not 1 person by listening to all of us, are you listening and hearing him talk to you

When it comes to the coronavirus restrictions, I DID mention several times that it's something we're all suffering with. To show you it's not Gods original will, can you picture Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden wearing masks, and staying 6 feet apart from each other?Or cops in the Garden, ready to fine or arrest them if they got too close? Come on, this is unnatural. Also, everyones tolerance level is different. Christians pride themselves in being "content" in adverse circumstances. But there's also another type of person who is elated when they suffer. They're called masochists. I for one am NOT a masochist. So things like, the dentist tells you he ran out of novacaine before pulling 3 teeth, your car stalls in the middle of the highway,and you have to wait an hour for the towtruck, then are told they have to rebuild the engine for $3500,if you guys think those experiences are wonderful, fine. As for me, I'm not a masochist, so I don't like those kind of experiences.

Prayer and fasting
 
Steven, Go ahead — Tell Jesus He doesn’t understand suffering on earth. He did not sin and He suffered far more than anyone, the devil saw to that. Now we, of whom who all have sinned, think we shouldn’t suffer on earth? Have you ever listened to 1st Peter?

“Why should any living mortal, or any man, Offer complaint in view of his sins? Let us examine and probe our ways, And let us return to the LORD.”
‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3:39-40‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Don’t post anymore until you figure this out. Everybody, pray for Steven. Your choice is submit to God and resist the devil (James 4:7) or join him and his fallen angels and continue to blaspheme.

“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭22:31-32‬ ‭NASB‬‬

I prescribe you_tubing some sermons on “union to Christ in suffering” and think Bob Sorge (lost 80% of his voice) or Richard Wurmbrand (Persecuted for Christ) have as good a grip on it as anyone, probably Sorge is what you should listen to since He is a practical Theologian (knows the ABCs of the Bible)... Here you go take this once a day for a week... No more posts til you get this down.




Yeah that's easy for God because He's in Heaven, but I'm the one down here dealing with it!

James 1:2-4 New International Version (NIV)

2 Consider it pure joy
, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
