@divegeester
Some people may express appreciation in various ways.
Thumbs up.
Private note (of which I have received many over the years).
I have no naivete that some people find a lot of what I wrote distressful.
Maybe most readers don't like Christ exalting posts here on Spirituality.
Are we running a popularity contest here?
There is no reason to assume no one derives blessing.
I don't feel anyone is obligated to report statistics for your approval on this.
So you sour up your face, put your hands on your hips and say scornfully -
"Well HOW MANY people do you think don't hate what you write JUST the way I do? "
I don't know how many are nauseated like Divegeester. But I believe the word of God accomplishes its work on its own power when delivered.
@sonship saidWho here has ever expressed, inferred, insinuated that they find your posts “distressing”? None! You seem to think very highly of your posting.
@divegeester

I think that there I are only maybe three or four people who read your posts. FMF, myself, Rajk999 and maybe one other.
But I’m pretty sure you tell your church leadership that you are in here preaching to thousands of people...
@divegeester
You're pretty sure of this and you're pretty sure of that.
Whatever.
I am returning to the subject matter of Anger towards God if I have some more to contribute to the topic.
Probably Job is a book in the Bible giving lots of time to the matter of a righteous man's anger against God.
I recommend that people read that book.
There are some human sentiments in there I think God was wise to voice through Job. I think it reveals God's empathy with the predicament of His creature man.
@divegeester saidGive Rajk a pass divegeester. Even though he condemns the gospel that saved you, or so you claim to believe.
Ooh look Rajk999, SecondSon has posted a little emoji of a serpent, which will be his spiteful little way of calling you “Satan”.
But it’s ok, apparently, according to him on the previous page, he won’t have to apologise for what is actually a horrible insult, because it’s biblical. So he probably thinks he’s doing you a favour.

Go invite your friends from other Forums to come and hear me speak to them about the high Gospel and the eternal purpose of God.
They may be saved. They may be saved. That is wonderful. They may hear and faith is germinated in their hearts. Then they will meet the Lord Jesus.
Best of all they may go and become announcers of the glorious gospel Christ themselves.
@sonship saidWhy on earth would I do that!?

You are riddled with error, vanity, intellectual dishonesty and pride. Your threads are boring; you turn the simple gospel into a convoluted miasma of your pet dogmas and you don’t listen.
@rajk999 saidSo you are a mouthworshipper.
Are you, a professed Christian, also in a lesbian relationship, asking me what do I DO? Why? I never ask people what they do. I am here to speak of doctrines preached. What sonship does or what I do is none of your business. Next time dont boast that you are a lesbian..
Kinda obvious, I suppose.
And I'm not a lesbian.
Reserve your judgement for someone who doesn't think you're just another pharisee in an ocean of pharisees. When you judge me you condemn yourself.
@divegeester saidWhatever gets you out of bed in the morning, I suppose. (Yes, I'm very well aware this is Melville.)
”Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee.”
”He piled upon the whale’s white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart’s shell upon it.”
Do you suppose that, by venting all this "rage and hate", you are doing the will of God?
Just asking for a friend.
@divegeester saidLOL. (Yes, I actually did.) SMH. (Yes, I actually did.)
I knew there was still hope for us.
As if.
@secondson saidHis opinion on the gospel doesn’t give you the right to call him a serpent you cowardly little church-corporate taxi-man.
Give Rajk a pass divegeester. Even though he condemns the gospel that saved you, or so you claim to believe.
@suzianne saidWhoosh!! Double whoosh!!

I’m parodying SecondSon venting his hate at me Suzianne, but you are so blinkered you cant see it.
@suzianne saidAww come on, you know it makes sense.
LOL. (Yes, I actually did.) SMH. (Yes, I actually did.)
As if.
Two strong opposing characters locked in emotional grapple.
I’m reminded of Batman and Catwoman.
Ghost of a Duke can watch with a hobnob.
