When I was very young, I was told that the Lord would test me only as much as I could stand and that I would be responsible for passing those tests of faith. I haven't heard anything like that in years and largely, I think that concept has been forgotten by our culture. God is only present in the good and peaceful times but absent from our struggles - it is exactly the opposite.
Perfect example of a test by our Lord! You are publicly shaming and belittling me for my beliefs. God sends us these challenges all the time and expects us to thrive and step into them. Thank you xmasskull for once again showing me the cleaver and funny way God communicates. 🥰
I think the test was to show you a different way of thinking. People don't believe in God because they are looney, they believe in God because they are spiritually enlivened.
Dear God, Please show xmasskull the love and divine mercy of your presence. Allow him to experience a truly meaningful gift from you that only he would recognize. May your son Jesus open the door to a peaceful life lived in your heavenly grace. Amen.

God will test with a greater plan- to provide adversity with the intent on creating growth. I think you are referring to something of a petty sort, the Lord our God would not trifle with that.
You are a liar because you are seekimg immortality. You are guilty of the exact same crime as Lucifer. you wish to have the power of God, you wish to be an eternal spirit you wish to live forever and you think a Jewish loophole will get you this.
The problem is you didn't read the words of God.
Ecclesiastes 9:5 the dead know nothing.
You are not an eternal spirit you are a human being that was born and will die.
There is no streets of gold waiting for you in fact what would gold even do in an afterlife?
You only need an IQ of 70 to figure this out.
You want eternal life because you're narcissism cannot allow your brain to imagine the universe existing without your existence but in the year 1897 you did not exist and nobody not even your God gave a single fuck.
So you will return to that.
End of story.
No Jewish loophole will get you out of this no contractual agreement you make up in your head will get you out of this no money you put in an offering plate will get you out of this no attendance to any building will get you out of this no singing songs will get you out of this no chanting mantras will get you out of this you are the exact same decaying organic matter is everything else on planet Earth including the trees the crabs the cats the dogs the bacteria and you.
You lie to yourself because you are scared of death.
