>not lifting to glorify God lmaooo
Sorry pal you're never gonna make it if you don't.
I do b/c the way I see it God could have made me a vegetable or a spastic or something. Instead he gave me a reasonably athletic body so I figure I should celebrate by seeing what its limits are.

Sorry, I don't believe in God. I tried to believe ironically, sort of like supporting Donald Trump on the internet ironically, but didn't work out.

God gave me an allergic, lactose intolerant weakling, lanklet body. Not even mentioning the problems with concentration and possible skin cancer.
God made me like this. He did it to test me, because life is not about being happy all the goddamn time.
I can not deny what I am. Never worked out. I am a believer. (I think)

I know kids like you, not an original thought in your head.

Spot on brotha, and you'll pass with flying colors. See you in heaven someday. Can't wait to hear about your life mang. You seem strong.

This. I've done a lot of work with handicapped people and thank God every day that I have a fully-functioning body and mind. To show my gratitude, I wanna do the most them that I can, and use those abilities to help those who need it
>>36580662
thanks yous for taughting my self how to wrote
>>36580644
>that's why I said organised
The existence of god is obviously possible. It's arrogant to think you know all the answers to the universe though. No one does.
>>36580721
Fair enough. Too many people are shitting on religion when there is a clear difference between a set of spiritual beliefs and using an organization to suck resources out of and brainwash people.
Not trying to pretend I have all the answers Neff, but I am convinced of the existence of a higher power.
>>36580505
I lift for god and that god's name is anon

To start a glorious Crusade for the glory of God.
>>36580836
crusades when lad???
Does anyone find bodybuilding sinful? It's really a vain pursuit. Lifting for general health is one thing, but bodybuilding can turn you into a narcissist.
>>36581004
you're going to hell for liking how you look
boy, sign me up to your religion bud. sounds swell.
>>36581004
no bud
it's sinful if you do it for vanity and pride
not if you're doing it to glorify god
> 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.
>>36581004
>1 Corinthians 6:19-20 "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."
Do you even bible ?
>>36581024
christianity wasn't always so cucked and it doesn't mean every believer is a cuck
>BUT IF GOD KILLD POPLE HOW CAN HE BE GOOD? I DONT BELIEVE IN THAT GAWDD!!!
shoo shoo edgelord
>>36581031
>>36581033
Boys, I put for general health. You have to admit it's easy to get obsessed with how you look when you start lifting.
>>36581024
Good one! Top kek!!!
dude eat my body lmao
>>36580721
>It's arrogant to think you know all the answers to the universe though. No one does.
Nah, we are the universe, and do have all the answers.
it's all the true answers can easily get lost in a flood of false ones and illusions. but on the flip side, the truth is actually very obvious.
>>36580505
I don't lift for God. God doesn't need me to lift or fight for God or whatever. I lift, and beg God to not make my future one where I snapped my back lifting and am stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of my life.
But Christianity is bullshit. Maybe there is a higher power, and I really hope so, but it's not the god of christianity.
>>36580505
God is good and I hope to one day fully follow His will.
Bless all of you and have a great workout.

Why can't it be the God of Christianity?
Or let me rephrase it, what about the Christian God has you so convinced that it can't exist but another God could?

I lift because of an essentially Aristotelian conception of virtue. So if I was a Scholastic, I may very well translate that into some sort of lifting to glorify God, in that I would be actualising (part of) my human essence as given by God.
You must take moral inventory
Yes, God gave me a healthy body and I should be thankful for his gift and do everything I can to take care of it.
>>36580505
I lift so I won't be a skinnyfaggot, living with his mommy, having daddy issues, hanging out with degenerates, weak homo communist kike like him.
Thank you. ALL HEIL MIGHTY PERUN

God destroyed one of his most devout believers' lives, sent ruin and plagues to his property, himself and his family, killed all his livestock, made him blind and diseased and crippled, killed all his family, kept this up for years to the point where the guy was literally praying to god to let him die so the suffering would stop, did not answer his prayers, then sent him straight to hell because his friends thought god was injust. Job himself never thought God injust, just cursed the day of his birth. Faggot burned for eternity anyway lmao.
All because of a bet with the devil. Look up Job, the pre Westminster Confession version.
>>36580505
I do
Idiot
>>36580505
bless you, my brother.
>>36584071
slava!
I do. God made me and I'm going to be the best me I can be to praise him. The human body is perfection
>>36580505
Cool idolatry bro
>2016
>not lifting for the one true lord Satan
literally never going to make it senpai
The Catholic church is an accident.
>>36585487
Do have a verse for that? I can only find where Job was pleading to go to Sheol so his suffering would end. Not that God sent him to hell.
>>36580547
>he fell for the atheism meme
>>36586686
He's talking about some non canon version of Job bullshit.
>>36580547

Loft for my lord and savior
>>36586825
Ah. I was confused bc the story of Job is pretty inspirational.
>>36580505
I don't lift for the lord

I know you watch over me
Father of all the past
And all that will ever be
You are the first and the last
The watcher of all that lives
The guardian of all that died
The one-eyed God way up high
Who rules my world and the sky
Northern wind take my song up high
To the Hall of glory in the sky
So its gates shall greet me open wide

Because you can prove Christianity wrong everywhere, It's impossible to do miracles therefore it's impossible for the Bible to be true Therefore Christianity is false. Here's a question for you, Why SHOULD it be a Christian god instead of a Jewish, Islamic or anything else ever? Prove the gods of Egypt false to me. That's what you sound like
piece be with u ay
>>36585553
We all know it's bait we're just having fun
>>36587340
>Why SHOULD it be a Christian god instead of a Jewish, Islamic
You do realise it's the same God right?
>>36587367
No not really. They're based off the same stuff, but the comparisons end there. That's why there are different religions you know? Hmmm strange

If not b8, Google abrahamic God
i dont pray to God to give me a lighter burden,
and i dont pray to God for broader shoulders
God helps those who help themselves,
so i decided id broaden my shoulders myself.
>>36580547
well memed
If I get a woman like Yuka then I'll believe in God.
When i'm struggling to get the weight up, I imagine God spotting me, giving that extra push to help get it up.
Love you bros.
Although I believe in our Creator from a purely spiritual angle, this thread makes me happy to know I share this board with believers.
Stop fapping.
