What’s the motive?
Then find out the real motive. Pray God doesn’t have to bring you to the abyss to see the truth about why you do the things you do.
My journey is this: If I understood God, then he would do what I understood he was supposed to do.
Instead, Job was right. God does what he wants to do and you won’t understand it.
The Gospel tells you all you can understand about God and there are no strings attached.
The only happiness we are promised is promised by Jesus, and I doubt that many people want to get involved with that, because none of it has to do with the study of theology. Jesus basically told the theologians of his day they were going to hell and little children knew more than they did.
Anyone who claims to “just be studying and interpreting” with no personal agenda or bias is not being truthful.
