Happiness in Islam

[ding]

I see. You are one of those prosperity gospel dimwits. Ahem, no one in Texas will tell you this but your beliefs on material "success" contract the words of Jesus, the froward Jewish man.

If you don't believe me look it up. Or ask AI your substitute brain that isn't very intelligent.

Are you trying to tell me I will burn in hell for eternity?

 

[hobelim]

I did look it up.

Old Testament (OT) accounts often conclude by describing material wealth because, within the ancient Israelite worldview, prosperity was viewed as a tangible sign of divine blessing, covenant faithfulness, and the fulfillment of God’s promises. Material wealth served as visible evidence of a favorable relationship with God. Material accumulation (livestock, land, silver, gold) was seen as a direct blessing from God rather than solely the result of human effort, confirming that the person was in good standing with the divine. God promised Abraham that his descendants would be blessed, a promise that in the patriarchal context translated to being fruitful, multiplying, and acquiring territory and wealth (Genesis 12:2, 13:2). In a turbulent ancient world, wealth equated to security, sustainability, and the ability to pass on a legacy to future generations, indicating that God had established the person in their land. While modern perspectives often prioritize internal, spiritual satisfaction, the narrative structure of the OT often highlights external, measurable results—such as long life, many children, and vast possessions—to signify a "full" or completed life. While material wealth is often featured as a "happy ending" (e.g., Job’s final chapters), it is rarely presented as the ultimate goal in itself. Instead, it is typically depicted as a natural byproduct of a life lived in alignment with God's will and wisdom, which prioritize righteousness and obedience over the pursuit of wealth itself.

Who are you trying to convince? Me or yourself? Nevermind. I already know. Try posting the words of Jesus on the subject on what was evidence of being blessed by God.

Thats great! I am happy that believing in an edible mangod has made you so stupid. Enjoy!

God has turned on all the learning centers of my brain because I am a good and faithful servant.

Are you trying to tell me I will burn in hell for eternity?

Wow.

Thanks for helping me to reveal the wisdom of God in giving the command to refrain from the flesh of unclean creatures that do not ruminate and for so generously demonstrating for all the world to see the terrifying and deeply disturbing death, a curse, for setting that simple and easy to comply with instruction aside,

It's you that is trying to convince me that my beliefs will lead to my destruction. I'm showing you that my beliefs have led to success.

So that's a no? You aren't trying to tell me I'm going to burn in hell for all of eternity?

Then what's the problem? Because my success is natural byproduct of a life lived in alignment with God's will and wisdom, which prioritize righteousness and obedience over the pursuit of wealth itself.

What death? What curse? I'm living the dream. My success is evidence that God is moralistic and providential. God loves me.

 

[hobelim]

Are you trying to tell me I will burn in hell for eternity?

I am not trying to tell you that you will burn in hell for eternity. Damn. You are demonstrating the fact that you are already in hell by asking the same dumb question over and over again as if you didn't have ears to hear, eye to see, or a mind that comprehends.

 

[ding]

I am not trying to tell you that you will burn in hell for eternity. Damn.

Then the destruction you are predicting for me isn't going to happen because God has blessed me with incredible success because I am such a good and faithful servant. My success is evidence that God is moralistic and providential. God loves me. My success is a natural byproduct of a life lived in alignment with God's will and wisdom, which prioritize righteousness and obedience over the pursuit of wealth itself.

I don't see how. My success is natural byproduct of a life lived in alignment with God's will and wisdom, which prioritize righteousness and obedience over the pursuit of wealth itself. God loves me because I am such a good and faithful servant.

And so relax.

I am relaxed. God has blessed me with an abundance of riches. Old Testament (OT) accounts often conclude by describing material wealth because, within the ancient Israelite worldview, prosperity was viewed as a tangible sign of divine blessing, covenant faithfulness, and the fulfillment of God’s promises.

• Abraham: Recognized as having his wealth in livestock, silver, and gold explicitly given by the Lord (Genesis 13:2, 24:35).
• Isaac: Prospered by God, producing a hundredfold harvest in the same year, making him very wealthy (Genesis 26:12–14).
• Jacob: Experienced supernatural prosperity in his flocks, attributing it to God's blessing (Genesis 30:43).
• Job: After his trials, God blessed the latter part of his life more than the beginning, doubling his livestock and possessions (Job 42:12).
• Joseph: Found favor with God and man, causing everything he managed, even in Egypt, to prosper (Genesis 39:2–6).
• Solomon: Received wisdom along with the promise of riches and honor from God (1 Kings 3:13).

I am not trying to convince you convert you or dissuade you from practicing idolatry.

You are trying to lead others away from Christ using deception. You are on a mission.

I am only conversing with you at all for the express benefit of others standing around watching.

Like I said... You are trying to lead others away from Christ using deception. You are on a mission.

You damned yourself so expect to be sacrificed for the expiation of sin.

Life is fair.

You should expect to make sacrifices because life is inherently unfair, often manifesting through the "lottery of birth," where some are born into privilege while others face poverty. Major inequalities include, good people suffering while immoral ones thrive, hard work not guaranteeing success, and random tragedies like illness or natural disasters affecting innocent lives.

Examples of Inherent Unfairness:

• The Lottery of Birth: Being born into poverty, warzones, or unsafe environments versus being born into wealth, health, and opportunity.
• Health and Genetics: Some people are born with, or develop, debilitating diseases despite living healthy lives, while others remain healthy despite harmful habits.
• Natural Disasters/Accidents: Random events that destroy homes or lives, such as earthquakes, floods, or pandemics, which indiscriminately affect individuals.
• Talent and Intelligence Disparities: Inherent differences in physical ability or cognitive talent, allowing some to excel easily while others struggle despite working harder.

Damn, Thanks to you even atheists will see and understand what the authors of scripture were teaching about devils, demonic possession, the death, a curse, (another way of describing insanity), the evil of talking serpents like the species that 'beguiled" brainwashed you and what was meant by Jesus giving sight to the blind, curing the paralyzed, healing the sick, and raising the dead. Well done!

Regular old atheists don't care one bit about scripture. It's only the militant atheists - like yourself - who pervert scripture and use deception to lead others away from Christ. According to Jesus in John 5:24 you will be judged. According to Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 you will be condemned.

I am such a good and faithful servant

Yeah, you are such a faithful servant you defy the first commandment and worship a trinity, a false god, the Antichrist, as an expression of your deep and abiding love for God. Brilliant!

I'm sure that he who truly is God is very impressed.

I am

I haven't because Jesus is Lord but according to you even if I had I won't be burning in hell for all of eternity because of it.

What you keep forgetting is that God repeatedly forgave Israel for idolatry but YOU have turned that into a death sentence that has no teeth because you don't believe in souls or hell.

God forgave the Israelites numerous times throughout the Old Testament, with the Book of Judges alone highlighting a cycle of sin and forgiveness occurring six times. Rather than a specific, limited number, God's forgiveness is portrayed as continuous and recurring, often linked to repentance. The Bible describes God as forgiving the Israelites in the wilderness (Psalm 78:38) and throughout their history. The book of Judges records six distinct cycles where Israel sinned, faced oppression, and was forgiven. Israelites complained 10 times in the desert. Jesus' instruction to forgive "seventy times seven" in Matthew 18:22 represents unlimited or perfect, ongoing forgiveness. The Old Testament frequently mentions God forgiving the nation of Israel for sins, including idolatry. Ultimately, the narrative presents God as forgiving the Israelites repeatedly despite their repeated disobedience.

God has blessed me with an abundance of riches because I am a good and faithful servant and God loves me. My success is evidence that God is moralistic and providential. My success is natural byproduct of a life lived in alignment with God's will and wisdom, which prioritize righteousness and obedience over the pursuit of wealth itself.

Solomon: Received wisdom along with the promise of riches and honor from God (1 Kings 3:13).

The number of the beast 666 is the number of a man. The only time in the entire bible that number 666 is associated with one man is when describing Solomons yearly stipend of 666 talents of gold (25 tons), over 3 billion dollars in todays value, taken from the temple treasury yearly, not to mention tolls, taxes, tributes so he alone could lead a smooth easy life with 700 wives and 300 concubines while the rest of the population was struggling to make a shekel.

Is it any wonder the "lost" ten tribes left after this brazen corruption and fleecing of the laity?
