@Scottish Fair enough, I see your point. I may have come across as excessively rude. I'm honest in my speech, I do not sugar-coat my opinions to make them palatable to the general public.
@sarah_the_magpie I apologize.
@Thales_BG Do not talk about things you do not know about. My country was slaughtered for most of the 20th century, yet we persevered. Both Stalin and Hitler wanted to make my people history and put them into extermination camps like cattle, and yet we're still here. Why?
Because God was watching over us and gave us strength to survive whatever calamities the godless despots tried to impose upon us. Faith saved us, and it will bring salvation to everyone who puts their trust in Him.
I am not a "hateful incel idiot" nor a "fucking Jihadist" as you so lovingly called me, I'm simply a traditional man with conservative views. Am I not allowed to have my beliefs simply because you find them inconvenient?
I don't hate women and I don't harbor any ill will towards irreligious people. I simply can't stand vapidity, stupidity, and degeneracy. I WILL call out these characteristics whenever I see them.
But I yield to your point and admit that I was wrong to accuse Sarah of being vapid. Her post history suggest a level of intelligence I was not aware of beforehand.
Last but not least: I agree, Opeth and Tool are fucking awesome.
@pe7erpark3r Interesting thoughts. I'm highly aware of my weaknesses and I praise them. I derive strength from knowing what they are.
The way I see it, God is with the weak in order to show them the way towards acquiring inner spiritual strength through faith in Him. But your interpretation is also correct. It is true that you cannot force someone to accept Christ as their Lord without their previous consent, and it would be immoral to do so. Love can never be forced.
I am interested in gaining power and victory in my personal life, but only in the name of God. I always subordinate my earthly desires to the teachings of the Bible. I may be excessively prideful, but none of us are perfect.
