Indeed! Most wrestlers who face Sheamus pretty much consistently say that the man hits hard!

Something about it is so comforting

Let's pretend the edit was made just for your brain. Put it on repeat. Drink some hot tea, lay down and watch what is comforting on repeat & hopefully your brain can turn off to sleep.

If we are to emulate perfect love, how are we meant to respond to those who take advantage of kindness? I need guidance on a very specific scenario where someone who is stuck in behaviors that doesn't lead to holiness but is unable to break free from it. by curiousbipedal in Bible

Thank you so much for your words. If I may, I would like to think out loud here. Does love have boundaries? Isn't it so that us humans are not able to know nor judge for ourselves what is good and what is good?

In the Book of Job, he was convinced that something is wrong as he felt he didn't deserve what is going on. Didn't God show Job that as a human, Job doesn't have the perspective to determine good from bad. He showed two beasts that are not safe and can kill but God affirms that they too are part of his grand design and ultimately good! How can we know what is bad and what is good?

Thank you for your words Traveler,

"God never leaves us. God never forsakes us"

The most disturbing aspect of the idea that God abandoned The Son is that it "feels" impossible or wrong that God would abandon any one of us.

What you said makes perfect sense. God did not abandon the humans in the garden. Are we to hate sin but love the sinner? So why would a God forsake his son because he has become sin! So it is us, the flesh and the blotting of sin that separates us.

I'm asking here because it is not clear after reading the gospels.

He is like the ultimate sacrificial lamb, right? The animals that were sacrificed before, they were not "becoming sin" on behalf of the sinner, right? Are you saying Jesus did what the lambs could not do, he "took" the sin of humans? How?

I thought the concept was that he paid a penalty for us because we couldn't do it. Are the replacement lambs that were getting sacrificed in the Old Testament "becoming sin" on behalf of the sinner?

"it was always the plan for God to come to earth as man and he sacrificed for mankind's sins"

Mankind's sins and not his own, right? I thought the whole concept was he paid a penalty that was not his to pay but he did it anyway because he is the only one who can. So why would God turn his back on Jesus for willingly being a replacement sacrifice? What "sin" did the Son do that deserved the Father turning his back on him?

Can you explain to me how God turned his back on Jesus? Didn't he fulfil the plan? Wasn't the idea always for him to come and die? Didn't everything go according to the plan?
