How Do You Stay Rooted In The Word of God? [I Am a Christian and Love God]

[c=#7700B2][b]Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
Philippians 4:4‭-‬8[/b][/c]

@SnailTeeth What's your point?

@Lichocolati You might need to review your post. You posed the question, "How do you stay rooted...".

I'm simply replying, that it's completely natural to not feel rooted in that word, since the word is illogical. The word of God is rooted in irrational self-delusion. You're looking for reason in the unreasonable. Perhaps there are rational reasons for tricking oneself to believe in God (Eg. Substance abuse issues, self-sabotaging compulsions), but healthy people don't need to follow those beliefs, and it's probably better to not have that level of cognitive dissonance, if you're otherwise sane.

You've been stand-offish towards my responses this entire time, and I don't expect you to change your mind. I just think it's funny when someone tells other people to be good to each other, and they somehow feel that subscribing to foolish ideologies exempts them from practicing what they preach. You write about meditating on truth, and other praiseworthy aspects of life. But you are vehement to accept any truth which does not fall into your confirmation bias, because that would require a lot more work in your personal life, than simply telling me to get lost.
