Welcome Drich!
You said you spend most of your time answering the same questions repeatedly.
What kinds of questions do you ask for others to answer?
We have an abundance of people here who make it their mission to answer, but only a small handful who are willing to ask the questions to get the conversation started.
Here's to hoping you will be someone who will start the threads as well as answering them!
High intellect and education deal with facts, while spiritual wisdom deals
with the meaning and conduct of life.
Here are a few:Welcome Drich!

* Side note I am 1/2 Korean (Mother is Korean)
Yes, we have these questions on repeat on this forum too. You'll fit right in if you're into answering them.
Feel free to start threads asking your own original questions too! Everyone is looking for unique questions, but no one seems to start them.
It sounds like you might find most of your topics of interest in the Bible Discussion forum.
I write my threads mostly in Singles and Miscellaneous, though I've been taking a bit of a break lately.
Lately, the questions I answer are on the lighter side of life, for people who are going through stressful situations and just need a little bit of light-hearted talk and community.
Welcome to the site, and very cool about your mom!
Venture into the BDF (Bible Discussion Forum). There they ask the same 30 or 40 questions over and over again.
My favorite forum is Singles. There are always interesting topics of discussion. Very friendly peeps and a laid-back welcoming environment. Refreshments are served there too, usually coffee and donuts.
Glad to have you onboard with us. Welcome to CC.
Because these are the first things, with the clear water mixed with corruption. Think of the course of creation as water being filtered:
Coming in (the life in this world), the water is mixed with dirtyness and other contaminants. It's not ideal to drink, but it has to be this way for the process itself to exist in the first place. The filter is the Judgment at the end of this age, where those who've decided to be water are alowed to pass through, and those who insist on being dirt are filtered. Think of this as a cosmic vetting process for all the potential souls which are created. The suffering that happens in this world is only temporary, as the souls who pass (even the animals) enter a perpetual lifetime, longer than billions of billions of years, without suffering. God sends diseases on kids to test parents, and kids lives are automatically saved to the next world.
Does that mean you just burn in your belly with passion for men? Do you like to call those men such things as 'fembois' 'traps' 'powerbottoms' and such, having a very 'sugar-coated' image in your imagination about what you're doing, rather than seeing the reality of it for what it is? You might burn affectionately for men, you might fantasize about men, you might gnash you teeth in the urge of desire for them. That doesn't mean that's how you're supposed to be. More likely than not, there are intestinal parasites influencing that behavior, seducing your brain to spread them by a most effecient means. The more you consent, the more you're given. But you won't find love as a gay man, as you might have experinced, gay partners are unfaithful and are after anything they can spread their infection to.
Slavery in the bible days isn't the savery you're taught today, such as what the africans taken to America experienced. Back then slavery is just being a servant who's provided food and shelter to live with their master intead of receiving wages. The law of the bible is against subjecting them to inhumane conditions, and contains a statute to free the slave after 7 years, furnishing them liberally so that they have the means to start a life of their own. (Deuteronomy 15:12)
To love God with all your hear, soul, and might, and to love your neighbor as yourself. Because Jesus was subject to the letter of the law of moses, He had to fulfil them perfectly to be utterly sinless in His lifetime. When he died on the cross and gathered all men to himself to forgive them, he covered for all sins and observances of the law that we can't do; so instead of worrying about how much of Gods law we can observe, our commandment is to be joyful and thankful that we will rise from the dead to paradise with Jesus, and share the joy of our salvation with others, and help our neighbor with the same kindness that Christ showed us by saving us.
If you insist on destroying the lives of others, should you be entitled to your own?
People receive many warnings in their lives that being an abuser of others is not the right way. If they go a whole lifetime ignoring those warnings, insisting they have to be menacing without a cause, then the vortex of blackness, the destination of the fruits of their doings, is their justified eternal resting place.
It's not in the world. All these titles, 'roman catholic', 'anabaptist', 'methodist' don't really mean anything. It's not an institution that's the church, it's the true faith one has in their personal relationship between them and God. You can read the bible by yourself and still 'enter' the church yourself just by understanding and praying to God, and receiving the Holy Spirit (which is as easy to obtain as simply asking Him), and through this Holy Spirit you are united to the true, invisible church of God.
If you pray, that's also part of the plan. God answers prayers for His children for their fellowship with Him, and when he doesn't answer, he has other things in mind for them.
Even if he could, He'd just have the power to lift it anyway?
This is one of the dumbest questions people try to challenge Gods infinite power.
I was asked what where some examples of the questions I am repeatedly asked.
I did not intend to start a discussion here with these questions.
Do you want me to respond with my typical response to these questions. As it seems like you put some work into your response.

Oh, I didn't know. If something about my resonses can help you with your own, that's good enough.
Don't worry about me then.
The trigger happy apologists might not be for you. Shoot first, and keep shooting, no time for questioning. Reddit's repetition has nothing on them.

“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
with painful labor you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you.”

“Cursed is the ground because of you;
through painful toil you will eat food from it
all the days of your life.
18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your brow
you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return.”

Hi Drich, glad you are joining us, welcome to CC! Some famous q's here are , Rapture/pre-mid-post Trib and Jewish people in Israel terrorists or defending their nation? I hope you enjoy the new group of q's in the BDF, God bless yoou and your endeavors
The first 9 are great answers now that you framed them out. I do not understand the answer to number 10
Most people will not like my answer to the rapture question. In short rev 6: 9-11 and rev 7:9 to the end of the chapter tells us that ALL of the "Saints" AKA church must be martyred. "We are the multitude that no one could count of every nation and of every language." We who refused the mark of the beast are targeted and are slaughtered during the great tribulation.
After the gentile church is martyred Then the 144K become the new church. they are sealed/protected till chapter 14 (God's wrath/vengence against the people who are left for killing the church.) They are the church of the rapture. Not the current version of the church. As the faithful will be martyred.
Rev 6:9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 10 They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” 11 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.
"https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=rev 6&version=NIV#fen-NIV-30806e" title="See footnote e">e</a>]
Rev 7:
9 After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice:
“Salvation belongs to our God,
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb.”
11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying:
“Amen!
Praise and glory
and wisdom and thanks and honor
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!”
13 Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?”
14 I answered, “Sir, you know.”
And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
This multitude dress just like the murdered saint that where kept under the alter and told to wait till their full number had come in.. These who where the white robes that where identified as those who came out of the great tribulation says they where not raptured because of the significance of the white robes. They came out of the tribulation period because they where all murdered by the anti christ and his followers, which is what triggers God's wrath.
and Jewish people in Israel terrorists or defending their nation? I hope you enjoy the new group of q's in the BDF, God bless yoou and your endeavors
"Death to America, Death to Israel. Oct 7th unprovoked attack kinda sums it up for me.
I can start a new thread if you want to discuss.
Thank you kindly for the offer but I recently got out of a merry-go-round debate on the rapture, lol, where I believe God's wrath has never fallen on His obedient children. I'm with you on the second issue absolutely
Btw you can go back pages on the BDF and jump back in a rapture discussion if you like.
