Funny thread. I leave for a day and come back and see a cacophony of dissatisfied fellas. You guys are crazier than I am and I have an excuse. I drink alcohol, but I want to quit. It's nasty and makes me feel nasty. No, I'm not the one posting child pornography. I'm not interested in it at all, and in fact it's evil and disgusting.
Eventually, everyone will see why all this had to be done, and so will I.
Read:
Although he had done no violence
and had said nothing deceptive,
10 yet it pleased Adonai to crush him with illness,
to see if he would present himself as a guilt offering.
If he does, he will see his offspring;
and he will prolong his days;
and at his hand Adonai’s desire
will be accomplished.
11 After this ordeal, he will see satisfaction.
“By his knowing [pain and sacrifice],
my righteous servant makes many righteous;
it is for their sins that he suffers.
12 Therefore I will assign him a share with the great,
he will divide the spoil with the mighty,
for having exposed himself to death
and being counted among the sinners,
while actually bearing the sin of many
and interceding for the offenders.” - Isaiah 53
