Have you considered the idea that you can live as a master on Earth while still serving the Lord Of Lords and the Most High God with humility and humble happiness?

I can't successfully live as a master on the earth. I'm mostly slave. In a few years, I'll die and be forgotten like I never existed. Klaus Schwab or George Soros are the closest thing we have to King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and I'll die before I serve them.

I understand that you believe that the Hebrew and Christian writings are the words of the creator of the universe, but I don't believe in an interventionist God, that intercedes on behalf of creation to aid with suffering.

According to Christian theology, Paul was not an exceptional sinner:

What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one. Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive. The venom of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; in their paths are ruin and misery, and the way of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.” Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. (Rom3)

All Christians are called to suffer and discard earthly pleasures, in the hope of the life to come:

Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God. (1 Pet 4)

But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you. Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, “I believed, and so I spoke,” we also believe, and so we also speak, knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God. So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. (2 Cor 4)

For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. (1 Cor 15)

@-Thiudareiks- It's not a genuine question, it's a convoluted mass of many questions that build a towering mess off of a Schmigma strawman.

I was born in a European country, so everything was provided readily to me, I grew up in a tradition. You are better off asking other North Americans. I would recommend you go for other North Americans who use the term "shitely" and are therefore in your region of North America.

If you do not have any kind of feel of what tradition might be, you are better off studying all the great philosophers of the western tradition, especially the ones from the country where you come from, so you can acquaint yourself with the questions your own people posed 1, 2, 10 centuries ago. Then the history of your country and the heroes of your country and what they represented.

As for your lumberjack grandfather? Stick him up your arse schmigma.
