Israel" (Hebrew: יִשְׂרָאֵל, Yisra'el) most commonly means "one who struggles with God,"
I wonder why
>>534487410Struggling with God implies a close relationship. >>534487482This clip is less excusable, but even still, it is simply true that God is the first cause of all things, including evil.
>>534487592>impliesStruggle could also imply fight and conflict wrestling in fact it comes from actual wrestling story. Ask anyone what struggle means for them more. Closeness to someone or fighting someone.
>>534487698Ever notice how after a fight wrestlers tend to have more respect for each other?
>>534487592>God created evilNo He didn't. Good and evil were always here and God chose good. He gave us free will so that we could make the only choice that matters.
>>534487592>close relationshipDoesnt have to he a good one. Close is also when you stab someone.Tom and Jerry struggle with each other all the time.My brother and I struggle with each other when we argue.The two teams struggle with each other on the field.Anna and her sister struggle with each other over small things.The boss and the employee struggle with each other during meetings.The dog and the cat struggle with each other every day.John and his neighbor struggle with each other about noise.The teacher and the student struggle with each other in class.My parents struggle with each other when discussing money.The two politicians struggle with each other in debates.
>>534487813Like god and satan?
>>534487939Run roh...
>>534487856then God is not all good
>>534487856Weird and backwards epistemology. God existed prior to light, energy, time, math, logic, etc, but not good and evil? No. Good and evil are relationship terms. God is good. Therefore being close with God is good, and being distant from God is evil. Evil is contingent on God for existence, therefore God created evil. Does that make God evil? No.>>534487905I agree. Closeness and intimacy isn't necessarily equivalent to innocence or goodness. But in a certain sense it's arguable that relationships with struggle, a tug and pull between parties, are more meaningful in the end. A relationship with a human who can disagree with you, dislike you, and even leave you will always have more depth than a relationship with an AI that can do none of that, for example. That's basically the entire basis for why God afforded humanity free will.
>>534487410>I support struggle with God? Souds satanic, no?Well, we should know whether they have His attention by June 4th.>>534485072
>believing in the jewish god in the first placegolem lost in the jew psyop
>>534487410God is “the Word”
>>534488426maybe this is the rough closeness this anon talks about>>534488379So wrestle and struggle could mean gay sex? So Israel is one who gay sexes god.I support Israel could them mean same as I fuck god in ass...even worse
>>534487905The most common translation I have seen included "wrestle", though. Wrestling can be for sparring but jews are not even close to matching God in any way. >f.
>>534488621>same as I fuck god in assCorrection. I support God getting fucked in the ass or having gay sex either way
Alright yahweh. Let's struggle, right here right now. "Almighty" my ass! I'll show you who's boss of this gym.
>>534487410God is the Nothing
>>534488361God is because he gave you /pol/ so that you know who your enemy is (the jews). That you do little or nothing with that knowledge is not God's fault. That's your free will. Perhaps one day it will occur to you
>>534488799yeah but you never know if epstein diddled moot. Then its a trick not a good thing.
>>534487592Yes, the implication is not of an adversarial struggle, but struggles at His side. He (Jacob) got the name after wrestling with God at the River Jordan. God gave him (Jacob ~ Israel) a limp after the incident that stayed with him his whole life. You guys are tards who aren’t able to understand the Bible. Why bother reading it if you’re too low IQ to get it? Go back to your anime comic books. The Bible is for wise men only.
>>534488845A trick that reveals all the important stuff (at least to start with) is more of a blunder than anything else so whatever the case was, it doesn't matter. Even if I grant you adherence to your theory (I don't), maybe the jews got played by God is all that that was
>>534487410adon ailord aifuck all religion lol its a scam run by the child raping nigger
>>534488864>Dumbass Christian/jewshill posing as one enters the threadGod doesn't give a limp to somebody who is his servant. The story seems to be of the jews never learning and (in the 21st century) the goyim not learning of the jews worth of shit, either
>>534488379Good and evil exist whether there's a universe for them to inhabit or not. It's a game that nature plays on existence since before time was. The entire point of this exercise in divine creation was to make a place where good and evil can battle for the hearts of those created who have the ability to choose. God is the champion of good, and acts as such. The other side wants you to choose evil, and then for you to blame the existence of evil on God Himself is just icing on the evil cake.
>>534487410You're not wrong in that being part of their thing. They apparently view arguing and stuggling as part of faith and that without it it's just blind obedience and not active faith at all. I think thats why the talmud is a schizophrenic mess of rabbinic law and interpretation trying to lawyer and jew their way around what they simultaneously supposedly believe is divine law. That example in particular is a poor example. Jacob was kind of a shitheel for most of his life. It means usurper basically. Heel grabber. When he gained the name israel is actually when he stopped struggling with god and it's applied more retroactively there. The story there is he wrestled with the angel all night and so in that sense he was struggling with god but thebstory concluded with the angel basically seeming to get sick of his shit and dislocating his hip with a touch and crippling him for the rest of his life. With that particular story the moral to me seems to be more about someone struggling with god and being forcefully and violently humbled for it. That does seem lost on them and they do regard the stuggle as admirable based on what I've read but that particular story still kinda has a very fuck around and find out sort of ending.
>>534489333That's BS. Good and evil are words (two: "good" and "evil"). A lion is not evil for killing an antelope--he just needs to eat. And the antelope is not good. It needed to not age past the point of being able to run fast enough. In a human society, though, we're supposed to be able to read newspapers and maybe there'll be an unattanded stand with newspapers (or fruit preserves or what have you) that everybody will leave money at for the price of a newspaper. Then, the stand owner can go elsewhere and do other things while enjoying a source of passive income. Everybody wins in that scenario as we all have limited time on this earth and talking to a human takes time too. Functionally as humans, that is good. And the absence of that is evil because it brings strife and discomfort. Who wants to live with strife and discomfort? Nobody. But the jew DOES want you to
That that message seems to be lost on them kinda maps with their whole deal though. Throughout the bible there's this tension and back and force between "gods chosen people" and the fact they simultaneously repeatedly defy and reject him and are subsequently punished for it. There's an interpretation there within some christian circles that the entierly of the jewish peoples history since then with all the wandering and persecution that has occurred over the past millennia is sinply divine retribution and just punishment for the rejection of the messiah and death of christ and that it will continue until they come around just like with all the other punishments that were inflicted. It fits the themes of their own holy book perfectly well. In that context them totally missing the point and in pride and hubris regarding the stuggle as a positive rather than the acceptance that ultimately occured and then reacting with a surprised pickachu face when they get their shit slapped for it isn't really surprising.
>>534487856>God is dualistic Good and evil are just labels for chaos and order. God is the devil the way a rotting corpse is entropy to us but creation to the worms. You either get it or don't and if you don't then stop acting like you understand.
>>534490996That all *sounds* right but at the same time there is nothing wrong with wanting nice things in life and the world.
