"When the man comes around"

If you believe Satan doesn't exist and say "sup?" instead of something else, I'll consider you for BA.

And yes, I know it's better to be alone than to be with Some people.

An all inclusive term to describe someone who has just that many things wrong with them.

My subconscious is inextricably driving me towards a self sacrificing death, I highly suspect with the aim of obtaining forgiveness.

Is your life stuck in a rut so to speak?

Do you never seem to get prayers answered?

Confused and frustrated about it?

One of the main problems is you are expecting things from God.

Look at James 1:6-7 But he must ask in faith without any doubting,

for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed

by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he will receive

anything from the Lord.

Now that you know not to expect anything from God you can realize

bettering your life is totally up to you. You are on your own.

Two Side-notes.

I don't think it's impossible for the average person to get a doubtless

prayer out but I think it doesn't happen often at all.

I also think seeking a person of faith to pray for you may be an option,

but not at all a course of action to count on for results.

Below is some extra info that may be helpful.

I think instruction number 2 on this page may be especially helpful.

The Bible is full of wisdom and practical advice. Check out Ecclesiastes,

Proverbs, Jesus' teachings, etc.

What happens after death for non Christians?

Is there always?

Is there ever?

BQ: What does the Bible say about this?

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever

is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure,

whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if

anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think

about such things.

Ephesians 4:29

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of

your mouths, but only what is helpful for

building others up according to their needs,

that it may benefit those who listen.

Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open

Maybe we're bent and broken.

If you do you probably won't grasp this question. Anyway...

Oh all the evil done under the sun.

As a side note: I bemoan the lack of spiritual teachers on this site. To partially quote Paul: Is it possible that there is no wise man among us who takes the time to answer the questions of the poor and needy? Really?
