How did Christ handle rejection?

Hehe. I think we've had this talk before. There IS a clear distinction between a subjective realm (what is the best meal?) or an objective realm (what is 2+2?). While we must concede our own subjectivity in either situation, the second is undoubtedly objective in its answer, regardless of our ability to know it. Given only one viable answer thus far (4) we can treat it as truth until it is found to be otherwise.

Personally, I feel we can approximate reality to a fine degree, enough to treat things in the latter category as truths. But I don't do so blindly, and realize the asterisk that must be ever present.

I've reached a point in my life where I feel like a reject, I've been longing for a relationship and I've tried my best to be the best man I can be but I still suffer. I hear from women that I am a great person, perhaps one of the best that they have seen however they did not want me. When I think about this, I start to think about Christ. He was perfect, he gave us hope to make it to heaven. He wanted a relationship with us. He loved us so much that he died for us and you know even then he faced rejection. With all that he did, how could a person reject him like that? How did he deal with rejection because I know that there were many that did not have faith him. It takes a lot of strength to withstand what he did. Wow, how did he do it?

IMO, don't worry about what others think about you because only you know who you are and work with that knowing that there is no one else in the world like you, sooooooooo you are unique and people cannot comprehend aspects of you. People view things from a subjective point of view...all of them. That is a lose...lose situation.

Well then, case closed. It'll never get any better. Off yourself and do the rest of us the favor of removing yourself from the gene pool.

Is there really any need for more whiny loosers to pollute the genetics of the next generation? I don't think so. I'll see you in the afterlife. (Especially since you decided to whack yourself and in this reality-based god dillusion that incurres the same penalty.)

Brush the dust from your shoes, and keep on moving there is a woman out there for you. You may just be looking in the wrong places.... No person ever looks to God when things are going great.... perhaps you need a woman that needs you as much as you need her?

You think this thread was a veiled way of him saying that he's going through a dry-spell?

I've only seen him fly off the handle (after putting up with a lot) towards Bible thumpers and homophobes.

Indeed...that was provoked.

The thread is obviously a joke, like "If You Were God" by TRH. So why not have fun with it?

No joke. I surely didn't get to laugh. This is something that I have suffered with for years and I am looking for deliverance from it. I not posting this thread to be God, I am posting this for a solution to my problem. I am a Christian and being a follower of Christ I know that he went through rejection. They preferred to follow idols over him. They chose to hang on to what they had instead of following him. The woman that I was pursuing told me twice that even if it was the perfect man, she wouldn't go out with him. Christ was perfect in what he did and even then, a lot of people in the world did not accept him. Seeing that he went through rejection, I can follow him. The problems I thought I had weren't the real problem(i.e.,independence). The only answer that I have is to keep moving forward. I am going to continue to work on myself, but I have to trust him. I can't give up on him, he put something great in me and I can't give up now. I got find out what it was all about. I have been dealing with this issue for a long time and I was trying to see if anyone could relate to what I have.

Dude just get over it. Maybe pop an antidepressant.

Well, I don't see myself bemoaning my lack of relationships on an internet forum. If a happy pill will make me more receptive to whining, then I don't think I'll have any. I prefer my low tolerance to their bullshit.

Imagine the self-asteem issues that kid will end up having. Two woe-is-me parents that stock up on duct tape when the weatherman calls for rain. I hope they name him Blanket, because his childhood died long before he was born.

I have found that bullys are only effective when no one stands up to them.

It wasn't provoked, nor was that his point.

See a shrink. Why on Earth would you as people on an internet forum for lifestyle advice?

I was being sarcastic, let me rephrase- you Devil King are bullying the guy for no reason.

Let me guess, you suffered homophobic abuse and were seriously depressed but dealt with it on your own thus you are the Supreme Authority on the matter and you demand that everyone else keep their problems to themselves and solve them by themselves because you were capable of doing that... 🙄

Oh or is it deeper?...do you hate the idea of people asking for help when they're low because you had no one to turn to when you felt down? Thus you abhor seeing other people helped through their troubles because you somehow feel that you have been neglected? 😕

The answer is obvious, its a virtually anonymous service- he can get to know people online and get their advice on a topic which he might want to discuss with people he actually has to face everyday.

He could get to know people here very well and become good friends, but if he always has the power to just "turn it off" and make them disappear- it is a huge amount of security and is pretty much the basis behind all those Anonymous Helplines and such you see all over the place.
