Engage with Your Faith

if god was real, I still do not understand why people would worship him.
People dislike poverty, suffering, pain, and tears. The reason is that human beings, without exception, only enjoy their own pleasure and happiness, driven by the desires of the flesh.
It is through experiencing hunger and poverty that we come to understand gratitude for fullness, through darkness, we realize the true nature of light, and through sin, we come to comprehend what is truly good. Thus, it is only by experiencing both joy and suffering that we can even recognize what suffering is.

Why did Jesus pick Judas?
Do you know the fundamental reason why light and darkness, sin and virtue, evil and righteousness, Satan and angels exist? The omniscient and omnipotent God, as well as Christ, did not unknowingly choose Judas, unaware of his betrayal. Christ fully knew that He had to be crucified. Judas’ faith serves as a warning to all Christians today. His was a faith of the flesh, driven by desires, and because of this, though he was a disciple meant to testify of Christ, he ultimately betrayed Him for material gain.

Why do sins exist
Light is beautiful because darkness exists. It is through darkness that we can truly recognize the presence of light. In the same way, goodness exists because sin exists, allowing us to discern the precious value of virtue. In other words, sin must exist so that we can fully distinguish between good and evil, righteousness and sin. Therefore, light and darkness, good and sin, righteousness and evil—all are necessary and hold significant value. He came to call sinners. Through sin, He seeks to place all humanity in humility, for sin grants the grace that leads to humility.

Why the diverse opinions/interpretations on various topics of the bible?
All kinds of false interpretations are rampant. Do not believe in heresies, falsehoods, and distortions that claim their own assertions—departing from the Bible—as if they were the Word of God. There are too many arrogant individuals who stray from the Scriptures and instead present their own claims, which contradict and oppose the Word of God, as if they were divine truth.

Struggling with selfharm
There is someone similar to you. In the midst of a suffocating life, they struggled and stumbled at a young age, asking around and searching with great difficulty until they finally arrived here. This person wrote a daily journal in tears, pouring out their emotions. However, through this place, they experienced the gift of power that comes from following God’s love, which became a turning point in reevaluating the value of their life. Now, they are living a life of Christ, gradually letting go of their stubbornness, rigidity, and hardness of heart, and finding joy and gratitude within God’s love.

How do you trust the Bible if it’s been rewritten, edited and translated so much throughout history?
All the contents of the Bible cannot contradict one another. However, the Bible as it exists today contains many contradictions. The way to identify these discrepancies is by finding corresponding passages and comparing them with opposing content—this will clearly reveal what was altered, by whom, and for what purpose.
