“Yom Kippur, which is the holiest day in Judaism, known as the Day of Atonement1. It's a day dedicated to fasting, prayer, and repentance1. This year, it started on the evening of October 11 and ended on the evening of October 12,1.”
“Although this writing is about the Christian faith there are some elements of faith that root themselves in the old testament.
Hallelujah" is a song written by Canadian singer Leonard Cohen, originally released on his album Various Positions (1984). Achieving little initial success,[1] the song found greater popular acclaim through a new version recorded by John Cale in 1991. Cale's version inspired a 1994 recording by Jeff Buckley that in 2004 was ranked number 259 on Rolling Stone's "the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallelujah_(Leonard_Cohen_song).” Also from Wikipedia praise Jah/Yah
The phrase "hallelujah" translates to "praise Jah/Yah", though it carries a deeper meaning as the word halel in Hebrew means a joyous praise in song, to boast in God. The second part, Yah, is a shortened form of YHWH, and is a shortened form of his name "God, Jah, or Jeh
https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/1619314/jewish/The-Art-of-Forgiveness.htm. From Co- Pilot Preamble “In Hebrew theology, forgiveness is a profound and multifaceted concept1. Here are some key points: 1. Repentance: The offender must sincerely repent and seek forgiveness from the victim1. This often involves a heartfelt apology and a commitment to change1. 2. Victim's Role: Only the victim has the right to forgive the offense1. Forgiveness is not automatic and requires the victim's willingness to forgive1. 3. Yom Kippur: This is the Day of Atonement, a time when Jews seek forgiveness from God and others1. It's a day of fasting, prayer, and reflection1. 4. Mitzvah: Forgiveness is considered a divine commandment (mitzvah) in Judaism2. The Torah explicitly forbids revenge and bearing grudges2.
“ The Hebrew theology of forgiveness asks that direct reparation be given to the offending party. So again we ask A I for an answer
From Co-pilot “ The situation between Israel and Hamas is deeply complex and fraught with historical, political, and ethical considerations. International law, including the Geneva Conventions, prohibits taking hostages and considers it a war crime12. Israel has the right to defend itself and its citizens, but the use of force must comply with international humanitarian law, which includes principles of proportionality and distinction to avoid harm to civilians12. The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant loss of life and suffering on both sides34. Efforts for a ceasefire and negotiations for the release of hostages are ongoing, but achieving a lasting peace requires addressing the underlying issues and grievances45. It's a deeply sensitive and complex issue, and any resolution will need to balance justice, security, and humanitarian concerns. “
Sometimes only the Divine can forgive the questions that can only be answered in the sanctity of the human soul. Politics and religion remain on two separate paths to truth, but there is not yet a perfect sentient machine that can explain the pain of a brother who imagines the torture and fear of a victim of kidnaping. A brother who’s tortured prayers and supplications produced no remorse, instead a silly illogical demand that the instigator of the crime be given the help of the Red Cross while any hope for his imprisoned and fearful Hostage brother is not known to have food
. The answer here from Co-Pilot, should have been less offensive and composed of pure truth and logic. So no machine is immune from the illogical invasion of the non logical premises in the mind of Humanity. Therefore until such artificial intelligence is base in pure logic and truth. Humanity must seek the comprehension of the Divine in another form of reasoning.
At the beginning of this thesis it was stated that love could be found in the tearful sobbing of a widow at the grave of her husband. This would be a love who's mother could only be pain. The biggest question in the Christian belief is why is there still pain and suffering despite our supplications and prayers. From co-pilot “
2 Corinthians 12:7-10, where Paul talks about his "thorn in the flesh" and how God's grace is sufficient for him, even in weakness. And, of course, the suffering of Jesus Christ, particularly his crucifixion, is a central theme in Christian theology, symbolizing the redemptive power of suffering. Christian views on pain and suffering are complex
and varied, offering a lot of food for thought. How do you see it?” Death of someone we love is the most bitter pain of all. The question of why. In the world of heaven is John Kennedy allowed to finish his term in office. Is John Lennon still alive and does Martin Luther King still preach from a pulpit. The pain we feel at the loss of a great and good Soul is also a loss of the hope and trust we placed in that person. https://healgrief.org/grieving-the-death-of-a-spouse/ the personal grief we feel at the loss of a spouse can be exceptional. We might even be moved by the event to change our view of a just and loving God.
It is Jesus who makes us smile again
Again from Co-pilot
“ “According to biblical accounts, Jesus often turned to prayer in times of grief. In the Garden of Gethsemane, knowing he would soon be arrested and crucified, he prayed intensely, seeking strength and expressing his sorrow to God. He also showed compassion and empathy towards others in their grief, like when he wept with Mary and Martha over the death of their brother, Lazarus, before raising him from the dead. His approach combined faith, emotional expression, and compassion.” If we are to take Christianity with us into space we must understand hope will sometimes perish and we must rely on faith. For the discipline of Christianity to stay in our soul we must be aware our weakest times are open to failure Co-pilot “
In Christian theology, the concept that God knows what will happen to us is rooted in His omnipotence. The idea is that God, being all-knowing, has foreknowledge of everything that will occur in our lives. This doesn't necessarily imply that human free will is compromised. Many Christians believe that while God knows the outcomes of our choices, we still have the freedom to make those choices ourselves. It's a delicate balance between divine foreknowledge and human free will that theologians have debated for centuries.”

Returning to the meaning of pain in this world. The question of an omnipotent God allowing the death of a good Christian soldier when God has foreknowledge might be considered cruel. Polio was cured by humans not God. With a good intellect humanity may be in the future able to better control weather and stop the painful loss of human life due to natural disaster. So pain might just be an invitation from God to Love. Everywhere from the care of the feeble and elderly to the movement of humanity off the earth into space there is risk of the loss of love, Death will be there like the widow at the grave but by sorrow and grief we come to know that we were truly loved.
