Who said anything about prosperity?
Jesus was literally tortured and put to death.
My only responsibility is to do good and have faith in christ. Whatever comes my way is what was meant to be. I find peace knowing that when I pass everything will be okay because I was good when I lived.
You seem to put a lot of effort into replying to my post. You seem to care a lot about my beliefs while I accept yours. You seem to want to push people away from faith. Why is it so hard for you to accept my belief in god, while expecting me to accept yours. Why do you feel the necessity to prove me wrong?
If you believe I’m wrong why does it matter to you? Why doesn’t it bother you? Why do you feel the need to reply?
I was once in your shoes and asked the same questions to those who believed but then I experienced something not of this world.
You can do whatever you’d like but one day like all of us you’ll face the abyss. That’s normally when everything becomes clear, not before.

I didn't realise you are religious. If you feel comfortable, I'd like to hear more about your experience facing the abyss 🙏

I'm really happy to hear about your Christian faith. My belief about doing good works is that they in no way earn us anything. We are saved by the grace of God alone for the sake of Christ taking our punishment. Because of this, we can't help but want to do good works in response. And when we fail, like we always do, we look back to the cross, knowing that we are once again forgiven.
If you choose to believe evidence does not matter when it comes to faith, you can believe whatever you want, because you’ve made fantasy equivalent to reality. We should all consider reflecting more and frequently on the foundations of our beliefs and understandings. If your belief predicates on lack of proof or evidence, perhaps it’s an emotion you wish to follow instead of being guided by what is true and certain.
True belief is humbleness that we don’t know everything, and is inherently scientific in utilizing logic, evidence, and perspective to evaluate existence and get closer to truth. And I don’t mean ‘scientism’ or science as a religion. I mean scientific as a process reaching conclusions based on evidence.
