I am talking about getting angry at hearing “God is good” or hearing the Christian radio come on and you want it off or desire to change the station because you are so bitter over your circumstances. That level of anger, depression, and frustration. That is wrong because it makes God out to be a liar, it reveals yourself to be deceived. This is why the Lord would have us renew our minds to the truth of His word, that we may have His sword 🗡 as our defense.

The Bible says a lot of things and we are told to rightly divide the Word of God...
of course we reach out to the lost but this guy has known the true way and left it which is different.
And the Bible does not tell men to control their wives it says husbands love your wives as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for it that He may present it to Himself without 'sin or spiritual defect ' .... big responsibility and lots of time spent together in the Word being heirs together of the grace of life. No man hated husband own flesh-so husbands wouldn't like to be controlled of course....because his head who is Christ doesn't control him so this is his example.... Christ always has his best interests at heart👌

You know that verse about judge not lest ye be judged, it's overused but I think it applies here. Some of us here have known Subhumanoidal online for years and the idea that he is even attempting to undermine Christianity or living an ungodly life by being real about his struggles and tfeeling rejected by God is a picture of exactly why most people don't want to go to church.
All he said was
And I think that a faith based on the Bible, really should reflect it more. This is the Bible that contains Psalm 13, the book of Job, Saul, Esau, and even Cain in this situation where he's angry because God has rejected his offering but offers him counsel which Cain rejects, but when Cain is deserving to be hunted down and killed like the murderer he is, well this same God who rejected his offering, protects his life. And of course then there's the flip side of David who was chosen by God, then spent years in hiding because of a king's jealousy; Elijah and Jeremiah who were called by God to bring unpleasant messages to kings who didn't want to hear it. Oh and let's not forget Jeremiah's rather famous lament, “Lord you misled me, and I allowed myself to be misled” (see Jer 20).
So Biblically, sounds like Sub is in some pretty good company. I don't think he's right about everything. I'm hoping and praying that God still brings some good and a massive turn around in his life. But I also sometimes wonder, if I was facing everything he's facing would I still care about anyone else at all. Could I still stand to be around Christian people? I'm pretty sure God understands the pain and the struggle even if it's not welcome in our churches. I'm just not sure how much we should still be claiming to be a true witness of God's character is we're not displaying the same kindness and mercy that came to seek and to save sinners, rather than drive them out of our space so they don't threaten our faith.

What faith?
I didn't claim to be right about everything, and I have been praying for him too; but it is the truth that sets us free... he said he has stopped praying a long time ago... what if something happened to him tomorrow? You would probably wish you had said more truth to him....we all face trials but if we don't trust God with the difficult stuff we are floored...I know it's hard but it isn't going to get any easier for us if we stop praying and get so bitter against God that it takes root... God wants him to turn to Him and surrender -he is being deceived
