You don’t think his statements that God told him he didn’t need to wear pads and he was okay to pilot his scooter at 55 MPH without fearing death isn’t trolling?

If you read the whole thread, I don't think its trolling. Lets just call it lack of wisdom for this particular case.

Selective traffic law enforcement????

I wonder what judge Judy will say? LOL

I always yield to pedestrians.

It was entirely the opposite. He led me to look into scooter and once I found a nice scooter that's got enough meat (power) on ebay Jesus told me to get it. He was encouraging me to get it, by the guidance of the Holy Spirit living in me. I know clearly when he is against of something or he encourages it, or pushes it. We cannot know what is the right way without being guided by the Holy Spirit and those that pay attention to him. Even though it may seem unreasonable to our understanding it is for his reason, his purpose for his kingdom.

After I ordered a scooter about a month and half ago I went to Amazon to look for protective gear such as elbow and knee pads but God told me not to get them he cringed. That's how I got to know he wants me to rely on him for protection out of shield of faith. Only thing I have is a cycling helmet that he told me to use it. And I got to 55 mph to find out how fast this scooter can go... I was excited and God knows that. Later he gave me understanding to be more careful and ride smart without going too fast. He knows I want to have a scooter that is fast enough to stay with the traffic so I don't bring harm to other drivers not having to squeeze by me.

Thank you to those that believe I'm not trolling. That is correct I am not trolling. We can't play around trolling in the name of God. It is offending to him, but in my case he wanted me to go ahead and speak on faith and reliance on God for protection. We are getting closer to turbulent times (rumors of wars, pestilence (coronavirus for example), etc) and God is calling us to come to him and be more faithful to him.

Faith in God is fine if that's your thing, but its not gonna do much if you're going down at 55mph. And neither will a bicycle helmet. These are highway speeds, and you need a full face helmet and full gear - it can be the difference between death and walking away with bruises.

God helps those who help themselves. If you have faith in God, then God created seatbelts and pads and helmets and airbags and things to keep you safe. He created those things with the expectation that you would use them to stay safe.

What did god say about not only endangering your life and health, but those around you in traffic who might have make dangerous moves to avoid you and the scooter in the event you loose control?

If you're being sincere here, it seems like you are using this "God" rational to justify what you want to do.
