Which channel do you prefer? What's your thoughts on each?
I prefer Solafidedeum, because jollybelly5629 just seems like a cooking channel. I think you might have posted the wrong link. Those oat cookies look delicious though.

The one thing that separates man from beast is the ability to play the saxophone and be good at it. Therefore, people that cannot play the saxophone are not humans and thus can be legally hunted for sport (if you have a license)

This is a theological info dump essay. I made most of this on the fly. Reply if you agree/disagree.
(Recommended to read the book of Job, or at least be familiar of the main events of Job's story before reading this essay.)
(FYI: In this context, "Job" is pronounced "Jobe-uh")
Suffering has meaning, and the meaning for some is communication. When God inflicted suffering on Job, he said that not all tragedy is just, but all has meaning. God showed Job the endless complexity of the world to show that things are bigger than what he sees. Job then trusted God's plan. He received double what he had lost. But his suffering was not a punishment, so this was not a reward. God did it simply because he had a plan.
Fortunately, we have the benefit of being in the future. Job never knew the point of his tragedy. We do, and it is the simple fact that we know of him. God knew Job's story would be written, and so that is his ultimate purpose. Unbeknownst to him while he was living, his agony spared others of a similar fate of faltering in faith in times of tragedy.
[Warning: Intense description of gore ahead, But I encourage you to read it unless you have a medical reason not to. You will know when the "gory section" is over when you see a message in parentheses. Just read the first character of each line and check if it's "(".]
Of course, this message is not limited only to the book of Job. Rather, this is an elaboration and justification of the crucifixion of Christ. His suffering was one of the most painful experiences of any living man. He was scourged on the wall of a pillar, and salt was thrown on his wounds. The fresh blood was absorbed, leaving his bare flesh and nerves exposed to the elements, so there was nothing to shield further whipping, not even the skin itself. His back was given a cross and his head a crown of thorns.
(Gore section over.)
He marched to his death, all for a crime he did not commit. He was nailed to the cross and humiliated. Just like Job, his suffering was unjust but had meaning. He saved others of his fate. To suffer is to relate to Christ, even though the intensity and type of wound may not be the same. Christ is a connecting point. Suffering is to be like Jesus, connecting you to Him. Others suffer, and relate to Jesus. And so, Christ is the bridge for which you and others to meet upon.
Next time you see another person suffering, see them as Christ. To them, you will seem as a gift from God. Perhaps their suffering is made so you help them and transform yourself into a servant of others. You won't know until you do it, so get cracking.

Masculine urge to hit the griddy in a comically inappropriate situation.
