Is it time to surrender?

"And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations." Revelation 13:7.
Now it is time to stop preaching. To stop explaining my achievements via the presence of the Grace of God.
It is time to say about faith in God: "no comment." Just like Jesus was practically silent in the final days. By saying "no comment", I will be murdered sooner than by continuing preaching. I need recognition by Scientific Community in order to be proof that I am not monkey.
I will prove God in silent way, without preaching.


I will still be God's man by showing excellent skills in Mathematics and Physics. But I will be silent in Philosophy and Theology.

G-d apparently does hear and answer prayer. It would have been great if this had happened sooner, but it’s great nonetheless.

Why must some people have to behave so rudely and callously online? The OP is a person with feelings, and being treated in this way could have a negative effect on his mental health and emotional well-being. He doesn't deserve to be talked down to and disparaged.

Yes. It is time for you to surrender to evolutionism.

When a person has worked hard to acquire a skill, it's almost always the case that the act of performing that skill should bring the person joy and happiness. So a musician finds joy when they're playing music, and a mathematician finds joy when they're solving math problems.

It should be joyful to solve for x and y:

x - 7y = -11
5x + 2y = -18

Is it joyful for you to solve this problem?

Here's a link to a classic, 1st semester physics problem. If you have skills in physics, it should give you joy to solve this sort of problem:

The only evidence I have concerning your math and science skills comes from the posts you make on this forum. In an earlier post I listed two problems, algebra and physics. If you can do both of those problems easily, then you have more skill than your posts evidence. So my advice is for you to be honest with yourself. If you found those two problems difficult, then I'd propose that you need to do more studying before you're likely to receive scientific recognition. hth.

I understand what you mean, but I suggest you look through OP's post history (if you haven't already) before assuming that folks are just trying to be mean. OP has several older threads disparaging women, atheists, LGBT folks, etc. Their threads are often rude and borderline dehumanizing... some of the worst are quite old now, though. They can also seem quite rude to members here.

My point being that many people can seem callous or rude because they are returning the energy that OP gives to others. Perhaps those folks consider it just or fair. While it's probably better to turn the other cheek, I offer this perspective anyways.

I used to tell my children that "two wrongs don't make a right" after they were rude to another child who was rude to them. I told them that there are better ways of handling a disagreement with the other child than to imitate their bad behavior, such as turning the other cheek and treating others fairly even when they aren't being treated well by others. I instilled in all seven of my children the importance of loving their neighbor and their enemies, no matter how difficult that may be for them. I assured them that it would help them develop a moral character. It's a personal decision to rise above your circumstances and be a better person, as well as to handle a conflict without becoming the very thing you claim to despise. It's what I taught my children, and it's how I try to live my life.

The problem is that not everyone will necessarily agree with this philosophy, and your original reply seemed almost patronizing when being directed at other adults. Your children are yours to parent, but the person who was being rude (in your opinion) is not. It just seems strange that you took the time to defend OP when OP has done all the things you just complained about to others. You took time to pick at the mild joke one user made yet ignore the fact that perhaps that users' frustrations were warranted. It seems one sided and patronizing. That's all, I guess.

My initial post was not meant to be patronizing, and I apologize if it came across as such. For the record, I in no way condone what the OP has said about the people he doesn't like. As a wise friend recently told me, "I think that sometimes people need to be called out, and sometimes it is best to say nothing, and it is a judgment call." I suppose we disagree on what it means to "call someone out," and I suppose we will have to agree to disagree about it at this point. I know what it's like to be talked down to and belittled online when someone else either doesn't like me or doesn't agree with my opinions. I'm also aware that I have the ability to choose how I respond to being treated in this manner. Now I've said my peace, and that is all I need to say. I won't post any more comments in this thread.

" Revelation 13:7 "

The verse " Revelation 13:7 " is not from (Jesus) Yeshua- the Israelite Messiah, please, right?:

Holy Bible King James Version (Red Letter Edition)
The Roman Catholic Holy Bible with the words of Jesus in red.
World Messianic Bible

Had it been an important verse/matter, it must have been mentioned by (Jesus) Yeshua- the Israelite Messiah himself in first person, so, isn't it trying to create a mountain out of a molehill, one perceives, please?? Right?

The fixation on YT videos suggests romanticism more than anything else on the subject.
