Well could you explain the verses

Not sure that’s the same thing

So you think he does cause it?

I think that’s what I’m confused about. I was just under the impression of simply allowing as well but these verses appear that it’s a cause not just allowing

So he causes it that good can happen?

So what does it mean by saying “his will”

Thank you. Well how do I connect a merciful and loving God and a God that causes suffering? Is there any way? A bit confused about that

Hello brothers and sisters. New Christian and somebody posted this on Reddit on a Christian sub and it kinda bothered me “Why does God want suffering? Acts 9:16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.” Phil 1:29 "For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you...

I'm sorry to hear all of this. Sounds like you've been through some rough stuff in your life. Abuse, suicide attempt and watching your mom die. Most be rough buddy. Glad to see you're seemingly better. I also think part of my fear stems from and bear with me: so the Catholic teaching is that...

Well like said fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom right? I don't see how this is much different. Also could reword your last question it's kinda confounding me. Correct if wrong but if witchcraft is connected to pharmacy (drugs) is using drugs acceptable? I do see your point about...

I'll agree to disagree. I don't see much of a difference. Both are negative affirmations for wrong doing.

So let me ask you a question. Even if my OCD had a great effect on my perception of reality how am I suppose to be sure that's the truth? If this makes any sense. Even if it's just my OCD talking it feels very real. I get your connection as to God knowing why people behave the way that they do...

So I'm a bit confused how does him being naked or not correlate to OCD? I don't major in psychology and have only taken one class on it so you'll have to forgive me that I don't understand your questions broken up piece by piece. From what I understand from the video human being can receive...

I would believe so. They used leafs to cover their private parts and later in the story God gave them clothes

It seems this was God's response "Then the LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all animals, domestic and wild. You will crawl on your belly, groveling in the dust as long as you live." and then a whole dialogue about how Adam and Eve are cursed...

I know that story. Cain killed his brother, when questioned about it from God evaded the question and God banished him to being a wanderer and gave him a mark so people wouldn't kill him. I'm having difficulty connecting this to OCD.

Okay point taken. Let me ask you this. If this were you in this situation would you eventually get on one even after hypothetical treatment?

Is there much of a difference between discipline and punishment? They can almost always be used in the exact same way in all contexts. And let's say I get on a plane and he decides to punish (erm discipline?) me isn't that something to consider?

Honestly I don't see much of a difference between the word "discipline" and "punish". They carry the same connotation and be used the same way in most sentences. Trying to build a difference between them seems pointless. I'm also curious about your thinking process. You say that God punishes...

I don't quite feel comfortable saying ''hey the reason I am not going is because I'm scared God is going to crash the plane" not exactly the best route to go. It's a slippery slope because am I just suppose to tell everyone this whenever asked? Like you said you still get punished after sin so...
