When I was Muslim, I used to ask Christians:
โIf Jesus was really God, why did He eat, sleep, and bleed like us?โ
And honestly, I used to ask it with pride like it was some unbeatable argument.
But later I realized something:
That question was not exposing Christianity.
It was exposing my misunderstanding of what kind of God Jesus claimed to be.
Because the real question is not:
โWhy would God become weak?โ
The real question is:
โWhat kind of God would willingly step into human suffering at all?โ
Islam taught me about a God who was distant and untouchable.
But Christianity introduced me to a God who stepped into hunger, exhaustion, grief, pain, betrayal, blood, and suffering with us.
And suddenly His humanity stopped feeling like weakness to me.
It became proof of love.
If Jesus ate, it means He came close enough to experience hunger beside us.
If He slept, it means He embraced the exhaustion we carry.
If He bled, it means He did not stand above suffering watching us from a distance.
He entered it Himself.
Philippians 2 says Christ emptied Himself and took on flesh.
Not because He stopped being God, but because He wanted humanity to finally see what God is actually like.
And it turns out God is willing to suffer for the people He loves.
That changed everything for me.
Because every other religion demanded sacrifice from humanity.
Jesus became the sacrifice Himself.
And no prophet in history ever claimed that.
Honor God. Go to church. Spend time with your family.
I am so grateful for the ways my husband led us in this. Spending one day a week unplugged tremendously blessed our family, and I know it will bless yours.
@PatriciaHeaton She speaks only for herself. There are plenty of us who have not destroyed our humanity with such a hateful, vile, sick heart and soul.
@DesireeAmerica4@13Zombo13 Kinda looks like he can handle the physical threat. She started it and then kept it up even after he pushed her away. Even the charges should tell you something. She attacked with a deadly weapon, he only got battery. She was a threat to him.
My husband's fall has left us in a very tight spot. Bills don't stop just bc he's hurt and out of work & as much as I hate putting this out there, my sweet sister created this for us & even if you can't donate for any reason, we always welcome prayers โค๏ธ

@ThatUmbrella This will be the 1st black Friday Iโve worked in retail in over 10 years (doing hair or being a waitress is far different than retail on Black Friday haha) Wish me luck ๐
The majority of us don't even want to partake in this "choose a side" trash, because we KNOW nothing changes.
EVER.
Most are too busy worrying about where our next meal comes from, or our next tank of gas.
Or how to pay for the DR.
We need to make that known, too. LOUDLY.
So only big businesses should exist?
What happens when making min wage $25/hr causes many to lose their jobs, inflation to get worse and therefore it still isnโt a livable wage?
@MarchandSurgery@ninaturner That is a myth that's been around since way before you were born. If a business can't pay a living wage, then it has no business being a business.
