And lest we respond naively to these calamities, as though they were something unusual, let’s remind ourselves of the obvious and the almost overwhelming fact that over 50,000,000 people die every year in this world. Over 6,000 ever hour. Over 100 every minute. And most of them do not die in ripe old age by sleeping peacefully away into happy eternity. Most die young. Most die after long struggles with pain. And millions die because of the evil of man against man. And you will be among the dead sooner than you think During the Collapse, Nezarec had possession of the Veil, the primordial source of all Darkness and of the Witness’ endgame to link with the Traveler; which was present aboard his Pyramid. Just when victory seemed assured, however, Nezarec was betrayed by Savathûn, who mortally wounded the Disciple. Nezarec attempted to project his consciousness into the Darkness and cheat death, only for him to be denied as the Witch cursed his consciousness to remain bound to his physical remains. His last thoughts were of hatred for the Witch Queen as she stole the Veil away to Neptune and hid it from the Witness. [8] Creighton. Creighton has his own demons from his past that he is battling and wants to avenge. Annika Once health professionals learn from patients about their spiritual or religious nature that might be crucial for their personal health care, they should, just as for any physical or psychosocial symptom, develop a pain treatment plan that reflects appropriate goals of care. As patients’ needs drive the goals of care, it is important that both health professionals and their patients focus on those goals, especially when disagreements between the patient and health professionals are based on conflicts between spiritual and religious and medical needs. 57, 58 Someone tell Miss Rina that putting on a façade of sunshine and being sunshine are two completely different personality types.

Natural disasters are relentless in their devastation. Last year flooding in China made millions homeless. A typhoon in North Korea killed hundreds. Earthquakes in Italy killed 200, in Ecuador 300. A hurricane in the Haiti killed over 500.

Bush et al. also described whether religious and non-religious coping strategies relate to outcomes after controlling for the influence of demographic variables. This study also evaluated whether different forms of religious coping were associated with different outcomes. The researchres gathered information from 61 patients seeking treatment at a pain management center. Most of patient were Caucasian women with fibromyalgia, arthritis, post surgical, and carpal tunel pain. Patients provided a wide array of demographic data, 51 percent indicated that they were moderately religious and 30 percent reported that they were very religious. The participants also completed questionnaires concerning how pain, affected their lives, how they coped with the pain, the role and functional of religious faith and practice in their lives, their general mood, and outcomes related to their coping process. As regards the first question, religious and nonreligious coping were moderately related to pain outcomes after accounting for the influence of demographic variables. More specifically, the positive religious coping items were correlated with increased positive affects and a strengthening of religious faith and practice. Religious coping efforts were more helpful than nonreligious coping. 41 This illness does not lead to death” (John 11:4). The point of this illness is not death; it is the glory of God so that the Son of God may be glorified through it. It’s like the blind man in John 9:1–7. The disciples say, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” (John 9:2). And Jesus said, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him” (John 9:3). All these years of blindness are about glory. The same is true with Lazarus. Lazarus is going to die, and Jesus knows he’s going to die. He’s going to let him die intentionally. And it’s all about glory. This book was crazy intense and insanely addictive, once I started listening I couldn't put it down! Nezarec's Pyramid crashed into the surface of the Moon following his death, entombing his corpse beneath the lunar surface. [9] Legacy of Nightmares [ edit ] If God is all to you, it’s true. If God is minor, if God is marginal, if your life is your most important thing, if your kids are your most important thing, if marriage is most important, your health is most important, that won’t make any sense. But if God is all, if God is beautiful, if God is the supreme treasure of your life, then to have more of him is to be loved. That’s the point of the so at the beginning of verse 6. Love at Any Cost

In Greek mythology, Algea ( Ancient Greek: Ἄλγεα; singular: Ἄλγος Algos) is used by Hesiod in the plural as the personification of pain, both physical and mental. They were the bringers of weeping and tears. Christian emotions are not simple. There is no joy unmixed with sorrow in this world for people who care about others.” Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. So the sisters sent to him, saying, “Lord, he whom you love is ill.” But when Jesus heard it he said, “This illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So, when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. (John 11:1–6) Close Ties The revelation that Psions once worshipped Nezarec may explain the design of the Exotic helmet Nezarec's Sin, which strongly resembles the helmets worn by many Psions. The helmet itself is similar to Nezarec's actual head and facial structure, with his horns being more vertically aligned in contrast.I had been so desperate for Anni’s story because her parents are my favorite Rina couple ever, but then she goes and pairs Anni with another favorite couple’s son- and while our prior pair had some of the worst of their parents’ characteristics, these two ended up more with soft and tender hearts of their mothers’. This couple is everything! A sweet, grumpy sunshine on the surface with a more hidden submissive-sadist connection - they are so delicious! The chemistry is just so great- I love how they bring each other out in their own ways. Creighton makes Anni more independent and brave and self-assured, and she makes him feel lighter and more content. And I love the juxtaposition of their world and their sexual tastes with actually how innocent and sweet their relationship is. Like she’s so in love with him and so vulnerable about it, and he’s so obsessed with her and over the top and it’s kinda sweet and super swoony. They are just SO endearing and compelling together. This world of pain and suffering exists because the horrors of physical evil and suffering are a parable of moral and spiritual evil — a parable of sin. And we need the parable because we don’t know and feel how ugly and outrageous our sin is. is intrigued by Creighton and even though he warns her to stay away, she is still drawn to him and his We must see this, and feel this, or we will not turn to Christ for salvation from the ugliness of sin. We may want to escape the penalty of sin. But will we see and hate the ugliness of sin, if we do not see the ugliness of its image in physical pain? In verse 14, Jesus told his disciples plainly, “Lazarus has died.” So he’s choosing not to rush and get there and do anything about that. He waits. And he doesn’t just wait a day or two. Jesus makes sure that Lazarus is dead four days. Were it only a day or two, perhaps someone could say that Lazarus swooned or fell asleep or was misdiagnosed. But this cannot be so with four days — not in the tomb, not wrapped up, not smelling. He’s really dead. And that was the plan. All Around Death

These claims would later be confirmed during the Hypernet Current Strike, in which a mysterious voice said it would claim a part of Vex space for its own, and announced itself as Nezarec. In addition, the Disciple could also occasionally be heard by The Guardian while patrolling Neomuna, particularly in Maya's Retreat and the Thrilladrome Lost Sector. These whispers were ordinarily unintelligible, but whilst either Nezarec's Whisper or Nezarec's Sin was equipped they could be understood, and Nezarec would taunt them further during the Terminal Overload public event. What does it mean to believe the glory of God revealed? It means to be satisfied with the glory of God. So, glory is revealed through Lazarus’s death and being raised. The glory of God is revealed as a demonstration of love, because to be loved is to see more of God, even through pain. And belief is the receiving and the experience of that revelation of the glory of God as your treasure.Yes, I continue to treat people nicely, remember their names and ask about their last social media post, but it’s all part of a feigned behavior. Whatever drew me to them in the first place has long since shriveled and died. Make me think that the hero is demented. I don't care how many times you tell me he's scary when the only remotely bad thing he manages to commit is trying to set some house on fire and FAILING. 🤣🤣🤣 Demented also-ran felon.

We turn now from wrong arguments for the existence of evil in the world to the reasons the Bible gives for why there is a world like ours. 1. The reason this terrorized and troubled world exists is because God planned the history of redemption, and then permitted sin to enter the world through our first parents Adam and Eve. Caldwell, p. 42 lines 226-232, with the meanings of the names (in parentheses), as given by Caldwell, p. 40 on lines 212–232. Some researchers have found that some types of religious and/or spiritual coping are adaptive ( i.e., positive religious coping) while other types are maladaptive ( i.e., negative religious coping). Positive coping includes collaborative problem solving with God, helping others indeed, and seeking spiritual support from the community and from a higher power. Negative coping includes deferring all responsibility to God, feeling abandoned by God, and blaming God for difficulies. 39, 40 A study by Bush et al. examining the use of positive coping (looks to a higher power for strength, comfort, and support) and negative coping (divine discipline, divine chastisement, God’s punishment) found that positive coping was associated with adaptive outcomes ( e.g., better mental or physical health). Negative coping appeared to be more adaptive and those who felt they were punished by God saw the pain as retribution from God, and the other negative copiers made patients feel abandoned by God during the time when they most needed support. 41

You simply can't get any more unoriginal and trite than this. Good old 'monsters, devils, deviant and demented souls' with their infinite 'thirst for blood and violence'. (🙄) According to lead Bungie concept artist Tobias Kwan, Nezarec's heterochromia is caused by him being a "chimeric fusion"; it is unknown to what degree this description applies to in-game canon. [19] Now, you might think it’s really not so bad because Jesus also knows he’s going to raise him. “It’s not that bad. It’s not that hard.” If that’s coming into your mind like it came into my mind, then let me tell you two things that came to me in response. First, Lazarus really did die. I have two cousins that just got cancer. They’re about my age. David Powlison, whom I know quite well, just passed away a couple of days ago.
