I don’t mean that in a rude way, see I just lost my wife to cancer in November and it was a battle attempting to keep her alive. She was a very joyful individual and so I really tried hard to, well you know. All I ever got from the church and many people is that they would hold her in their prayers… but that doesn’t cut the mustard, they didn’t watch her deteriorate no, they didn’t see the pain. So sure, I’m abrupt, I’m in a state of deep grief and I question much of what was done by the medical profession. Religion let me down, time after time I cried out … why my cerebral palsy sister, why my baby, why my father, mother, uncle, cousins , now wife and still no answer even when I begged on my knee’s. Now I want answers.
If you have gone through this then I could well understand crisis. Know that I’m a believer and a child of God and there must be something I’m missing. So I search for answers. I want to know more than just why… I want to know that the compassion is there and that the Lord reaches out in comfort & that’s something that hasn’t been afforded to me.
I see Spinoza as a man hurt by his church, his own people for also seeking answers. And the guy was a believer but he used his intellect to obtain answers, most the organized religions of the day disliked, so they attempted to silence him. I find some of his findings fascinating but then again others are recognized threats to many Bible believers. And again, I’m a radical Christian who wants to know the truth… the story behind the story and that’s my nature, maybe your nature as well but I don’t know you and your back story.
There are features on BB you could use to communicate , privately if you prefer& there is a feature that blocks people who become indignant to your posts so use them if you want to protect yourself from the mob… you decide. And I’m here for you if you want to open up.
Be well
