Why are you under the mistaken assumption we are supposed to understand everything we have to go through? And why do people only ask this about the bad stuff, relatively speaking, they go through, and never are so critical about the good stuff they go through?
If I’m suffering God’s wrath then I want to “understand” what it is that I’m doing wrong so I can stop doing whatever it is that I’m doing that’s causing me to suffer.
If God is rewarding me then I’ll just assume that what I’m doing is right and I’ll just keep on doing it.
I guess I’m funny that way…And you think that if you arent suffering you are doing good, and if you are, then you’re doing bad? This is how you determine what good and bad are? As opposed to reading Scripture and reading the teachings and words of Jesus, for example, on good and bad.
By your standards the apostles and Jesus Himself must have really not been doing God’s good, look what all happened to them. and all the christian martyrs through the centuries, man they must really have been doing awful things and living wrong for how God “pushed them all down the stairs”, as you call it.
Women want everything, but want responsibility and accountability for nothing.
I murdered God.
Money is God.
I got used to feeling like s~~~ all the time and finally just accepted it. I grew tired of cursing God every day. Then I made the decision to respectfully ask God for help.
Asking for God’s help seems to have worked out for you! That’s really great news!
If it were me though, I’d ask God why he f~~~ed me over like that in the first place. I’d want to know what I did wrong to deserve such misery. I certainly wouldn’t want to ever p~~~ him off like that again. To cause a person so much pain and suffering without at least telling them what they could have done to prevent it seems to me to be a totally dick move on God’s part…I get where you are coming from. What the hell did I do to deserve this? I thought that every day. I did a lot of research and found that no one knows what causes Eagles Syndrome, or why it happens. Is it genetic, or from exposure to some chemical in water, or food? No one can say. I didn’t know if it was my own fault or what.
I thought if God exists, he must hate me to allow so much pain. So, I’m going to hate the c~~~~~~~~~ back. I thought that way for a long time. I just got really tired of thinking about it, and it wasn’t helping my situation. I was wearing myself out trying to make sense of it all. I had to let it go and try to move on. I realized there is no point in trying to understand why this s~~~ happens.
I’ve wrestled with the question of God’s existence many times in the past, and thought it was all bulls~~~. I guess it took a lot of pain and suffering to defeat my negative opinion about God, and I was finally ready to give it a chance. I had nothing to loose. I realized I’m just a stupid human living on a rock called Earth. I’m not capable of knowing why things are the way they are. I sure don’t claim to have any answers. All I can tell you is I’ve had enough s~~~, and I became ready to ask God for help, and things seem to be getting better at the moment.
Back off Barbie!
Good to hear you survived your ordeal.
To the younger men, wiseup that the body needs constant maintenance and rebuilding as you age. Age 20-30 is easy mode, you heal quick and can withstand some abuse.
30-40 s~~~ starts to get a little more real, you either work hard at being in physical good health, or time starts working against you.
I’m only upto my 40’s, but I’m bringing back the discipline and carving my future to the shape I want it to be.
We only got one shot at this, it’s a bloody rouge like game, no reloads or spare lives. Getting ahead can be as simple as tiny daily rituals, form good habits and use time wisely, don’t hold on to petty s~~~, let it all go and grow.

I wouldn’t expect anything less from our resident Luciferian. To each his own. Carry on Goat.

I’m am feeling better these days. I’m starting to get my energy and ambition back. I hung up a pull-up bar in my garage a little bit ago and have been working on my neck, shoulder, and back strength. I lost a lot of muscle in those areas. I wasn’t able to use them as much these last few years from the pain I had. It’s crazy how a problem that started in my throat, had an effect on just about everything connected to it. I had pain spreading from my throat down into my chest and back and into my shoulder. The pain would also go up through my face and into my eyes and head. I felt constant pressure in my ears and neck. This all went on nonstop for two years, and now recently it’s all getting better. It’s all coming back to me faster then I thought would ever be possible. It wasn’t that long ago that I could barely talk, now I can yell and be heard no problem. I think my troubles are almost over or at least there is progress.

You’re telling me that God punishes good people for being good without giving them a logical reason as to why they’re being punished? Seriously? What sick, twisted, demented POS does that kinda s~~~???
I wish you strength in your recovery bro. I hope it continues and you get back to 100%. Thanks for your post. I suddenly have a greater appreciation for waking up this morning with no health issues to complain about.
Peace is > piece.
Then I realize that I did stop cursing, and blaming God for my problem. I had started legitimately asking God for his help. I know this is where my story is starting to get weird, but my belief, and respect for God is the only thing that I’ve changed over this summer. It could be a coincidence, but also there are other strange things that have happened to me lately that seem to point to God trying to offer me help. I’ve never been a strong believer in a God or Jesus in the past, and after going through these past few years of hell, and finally getting some relief, I’m starting to change my views on the subject.
I don’t mean to testify to you gentlemen here about faith in a God. I’m not one to push that on anyone, and I don’t have any answers. I am glad to share my experiences with you. I am not the same man I was two years ago, that is for sure, and I can say, that I no longer fear death after all of this.
There is actually a neurobiological explanation for your improvement. Your brain is beginning to literally rewire.

Good for you chief. Hope springs eternal for those that trust in God.
The end of Romans 8 is written by Paul. To clarify that once a person in their heart. Has made peace with God, through Jesus. There will never be hopeless despair for them.
From this side of life. All each individual can see is cause and effect. For the course of life here. Here, it’s definitely muddy.
Yet God through the Bible. Helps show that all of existence is ultimately His. The other side as well. That was one of the reasons for His resurrection.

I’m picking up what your putting down. I will take a look at Romans 8, and see what Paul has to say. That reminds me, I watched the movie “The Apostle Paul” recently. I learned a lot from it, not only about Paul, but also about Luke. I didn’t know Luke was a physician. I’m guessing that is why so many hospitals take the name, Saint Luke’s.

Thanks JVB. 100% would be awesome. Glad you took the time to read my long post. I wasn’t sure if I should write about my crazy experience here or not.
Take care of yourself. I look forward to reading some of your posts in the future.

Yes, Luke was a physician. He also interviewed 1st century christians extensively. He meticulously did his best not to insert himself into the description of Christianity.
He is the only man not of Hebrew genetics. To have his writing within the Bible. His example is a sure testament to the fact. That God isn’t a respecter of persons.
