He sent his only Son so we may be redeemed from our fall. If that alone doesn't show that he loves us deeply then consider this; demons fell as well but God didn't send his only Son to redeem them, only us.

OP, we are still in the time period where the wheat and the chaff are permitted to grow together. The time is not yet ripe for the harvest.

Rest assured, the wicked have not yet met the full measure of their wickedness on which maximum judgement will be doled out.

Not OP but,

>the absolute horror of hell

>the Bible keeps seems to say that Jews are great and goys are shit.

>I keep seeing people who sin succeeding, and seeming to suffer no consequences from it

>so many times in the bible, esp the old testament I think, "How could God do that? That's horrible. Smashing infants on rocks?"

>There also seems to be a general bloodlust in the Bible that worries me

I wish I could think right now, there's so many more things that make me think, "This just sounds like a story. This sounds like every other religious book I've read."

Plus I like looking at women's bodies, dammit. I feel like a eunuch when I can't. I feel like I'm castrating myself. Like a winnie the pooh frail stick man.

I don't even repent for most of my sins (usually just a slightly dirty joke, saying the lord's name in vain if I hurt myself), I do it out of fear of Hell. Even now I worry God might afflict me for writing this. I love Jesus, and I believe Jesus is good. But God sounds evil, Lord forgive me.

Really? Or was it the illusions pulled by the daemons in order to deceive you? Or was it the usual case of someone tries to look good for the camera and Faceberg to hide their piling credit card debts? The top piece might be that they have sold their soul to the devil itself for "rich and glory" in this world only to get an eternity of being BBQ'd with the devil itself. You even said it yourself, "seeming".

Being powerless has its own merits. When you are in power, you get used to it, and you do anything to keep it. Are you really in power? Or is it that the power is using you like a slave to do its bidding (to be more precise, unleashed to its nature). Thank God for that we are as we are.

Jesus and all that cross stuff that happened.

Thank you, I will. I bought a Bible the other day, and am reading it now, despite being a Christian from birth.

>>636194

This just sounds like more:

>Sure the evil are going to totally f uck things up, and f uck you over while you and your family are alive (and therefore must suffer under these wicked arms), but they'll got to hell later 'n' stuff.

>>636189

There's just a lot of faith in that. A lot of faith involved in most of this.

Why doesn't God talk now? In the Bible I see him talk to men all the time. I see him act all the time. Now he seems to have hidden his face from us. And so the only proof I see for God's existence is the Bible, and nothing to prove the Bible.

The feeling of the Holy Spirit, as I understand it, is that welling up feeling in your chest, that I get sometimes when I read scriptures, but when I was reading Greek mythology, Aphrodite had restored something to some mortal, and I almost got that same feeling, before I caught myself. It leads me to wonder if it's just an emotion humans get when imagining a god giving them grace. Don't hate me and attack me for this, but I can't just "Dude believe it because the book says so and stuff."

I'm trying.

It was rare for God to speak to men directly in the Bible. For example, there was a very large year gap between the time God spoke to Abraham in the wilderness. In one instance, the Prophet Jeremiah had to wait 10 days to receive a response from God. Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, when He was a man still had to spend all night on a mount to pray to God. King David relied on Prophet Nathan to receive a message from God. Everybody has different spiritual gifts, that the Holy Spirit decides how to partition out. Today, God speaks primarily to us through reading His Word. That is why it is important to read the Bible with the force and power of the Holy Spirit. There is a fine line between the soul and the spirit, and it's not good to be a "soul-lish" Christian, we aren't led by emotion, we are led by the Spirit. Read what Jesus describes the Spirit to Nicodemus in John 3. It is like the wind, we can see its effects, but we can't see it directly, so it is the same thing with the Spirit in that we cannot see it, but the spiritual realm is very real. Some believers can see it, but others such as myself are totally blind to it, but it is there. By the way, you have the right attitude to so keep it up, it is very important that you set your heart on seeking God and reading your Bible is crucial, everything that happened in the Bible is real and God is trying to tell you something through His Word, so don't give up. I will pray for you.

Thank you, anon. I appreciate it. I'll keep reading.

It's a facsimile reprint of the 1611 KJV, so it's pretty fun to read.

>This just sounds like more:

No I object to this, heaven and hell are not behind the veil always. People live in hell sitting right next to you on the bus – the carnage they create in the meantime doesn't give them happiness, even though from the outside it may seem like they've won every right to be happy, yet they are miserable.

I can't understand this question, except to say that He made it so that transgression is always punished. It might not seem like it, but it is very much the case.

I suppose then, that you'd have to take note that if a parent didn't care they would never punish.
