Is God selfish? How come He demands constant praise and worship while not doing anything for us

The New testament has more versions than Microsoft Windows.
And most christians believe in the most recent one, King James.
How can the most recent be the closer to god's words?

They don't want to think about it because it'll just poke more holes.
If I'm not mistaken, the old testament was passed down orally before it was written. Anybody that's played telephone knows how well that goes plus when you add in different languages and how some words don't have direct translation then it's a wrap

Ukraine is nearly 90% percent Christian and look what they are going through. A church in Cali just got shot up in California the other day. Looks like God chose to do the ignoring
But what will be ignored are the countless other churches filled with people improving their lives and living prosperously. Meanwhile in the atheist paradise of Shanghai, citizens are having their city turned into a concentration camp and they can't leave their house.
Being Christian on paper is different than being Christian in practice. Having a male leader who is dancing around in high heels isn't Christian.

Why would he create black holes to begin with?
Who said He did?
There's the law of action and consequences.
What if that is just the result of disobedience by His creation?

Wait, how do you know that we’d be better off in a universe without black holes? Black holes are formed when stars explode, and as a result, essential elements like nitrogen, carbon, and oxygen are distributed into space.

Correct!
And not only different languages but even the SAME languages.
If you go back to the different times when the many versions of the new testatament was written the english language was never the same.
Today we speak factually, back then people spoke with analogies.
Like if I someone back then said "Kendrick used to wake up every morning and give food to the poor"
Today it would have to be true, but back then it did not require to be true, it was just a description of the person, it did not require the story to be true.
Also words were different, if you go back in time nobody would understand you and you wouldn't understand anyone.
And that's only english, but when you think of the bibles were written in Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, Latin etc... and then translated to english... OMGGG forget itttt
The King James Version quotes Jesus, saying the following words:”Suffer the children come unto me.” ( Mark 10: 14 KJV)
Back then suffer meant to 'allow' or to permit, and this word "suffer" meant allow or permit during the times of King James.
But wait..... suffer meant to allow during King James? So readers today do not know that and wouldn't understand, but ALSO... wtfffffff
If King James meant allow then what did it mean when the original bible was written?
See this can go on and on and on and on and on and on....... Because there are so many version of the new testatament and they were often re-written with political motives, ESPECIALLY the King James version as it was just a century after the Byzantine empire ended and a few years after they cut ties with the pope. So King James and his purists(that wrote the king james version) were politically motivated to do a rebranding of christianity.

That's not what I'm saying or alluding to.

So the black folks that were shot up by Dylan Roof in church were only reaping what they sowed?
If you wanna be an atheist FINE.
BUT what part of
ALMIGHTY GOD DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND??
Brehs can be all
the thought of Thanos ruling the universe but not an Almighty GOD.

Technically we’re living in his house rent free breh. That’s what he’s doing. You’re like a 25 yo living with your momma still, eating up all the food, having no job and asking what she’s doing for you.
