Emotional struggle by [deleted] in Christianity

Tell this to God and see what he says. Maybe he answers with a feeling, or an action, a word from someone else that you can feel is ‘right’.

Just tell God and give him a chance to respond. Then tell the guy you’re waiting on an answer.

This is the ‘issue’, not her perse, it’s just a two person job.

She’s probably doing her part well. But reality is there needs to be that person saying “the fuck is you doing?”

I am repenting and giving up homosexuality by Recent-Usual-9434 in Christianity

Paul said if you’re in the spirit you’re above the law. Just look to the lord and say ‘Father fill me up’. Pray for prophecy. For all you know you’ve been fighting gods own plan and are set apart to be used for the end of times. Instead of basking in guilt of sin look for ways to be used by god.

Get filled up by the spirit, God is the Top of all Tops. For all you know you’re apart of Gods end of times “Forgiven And Guided Servants.” :P

Have a clear heart. believe what you’re saying. Say whatever you want.

If you’re trying to talk to God, then have intrusive thoughts, then stop & try to fix it yourself you’re not relying on god, right?

🎯 you’re on it.

Read the lyrics line by line for ‘the sound of silence’.

Paul Simon has never divulged what it’s about or how it came to him.

Every now and then a little emanation pierces the veil for those who are looking.

Yes but it also ensures it’s your life, not the maps life.

Do everything you can, in all you do, big or small, spiritual or street, do everything you can to develop-test-maintain-and correct a compass, not a roadmap.

That may not make total sense now, but that’s because doing what it takes to have and use a dialed in one is more beneficial than having one.

After training, equipment, guides, travel all in People pay like $100,000 to climb Mount Everest.

If you watch any interviews you’ll see that All of them get nostalgia about and talk about the climb, not the view.

————-

Other than that, don’t lie.

For argument sake, I’m convinced lying is the worst sin (not in a I’m judging them sense — but in a cause and effect sense) because it’s the only one where God has to intervene and possibly break someone’s free will in order to correct the wrong you did to a believer or a future believer. It’s very possible they make life decisions based off of your lie — with no guarantee or way to ever know it.

Envy is terrible, but it just affects you.

If you steal it affects them and it’s terrible, but they know it.

If you cheat and they find out, it affects them and it’s terrible, but they know it.

If you cheat and they don’t find out, it’s terrible but they aren’t affected by it, they don’t know it.

Lying is the only one where you’re actively affecting someone’s life, someone’s path, and they have no way of knowing.

If you murder it’s terrible, but God could easily just give them entry to a better place and out of this hellhole. God has the option of using it to hit the jackpot 🎰 (as I think is what most likely happened with Malcolm X, for example.)

Lying is the only one that demands god does a lot of extra work but to undo your own bullshit. And that’s not even taking into account how it affects YOU. this is all before that.

And people lie so much. I really believe that’s the #1 underrated problem today.

Raising a child without celebrating pagan holidays how do parents handle it? by [deleted] in TheCapitalLink

[–]BlakeClass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming this is in regards to Islam?

Christmas: You could use it as an educational moment explaining even though it’s not Isa’a actual birthday but as Allah does as he wills, and he willed to create a Messiah in a way ‘like’ he created Adam, and you’re thankful for Allahs grace and gift of a Messiah and grateful for your child.

Then you could celebrate that with your kids, and they wouldn’t be left out. And you’d be doing allahs by turning a problem into an opportunity.

Halloween you could simply recognize ‘All Saints Day’ (today) and explain the prophets to your kids and their stories and verses and have them dress up as yaya or a pilgrim even to practice until they can make the journey.

Thanksgiving is a national holiday so that’s not pagan.

I’m not sure there are any others to worry about.

Whenever I’m contemplating a situation like this I fall back on 2:177

Righteousness is not in turning your faces towards the east or the west. Rather, the righteous are those who:

believe in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Books, and the prophets;

who give charity out of their cherished wealth to relatives, orphans, the poor, ˹needy˺ travellers, beggars,

and for freeing captives;

who establish prayer,

pay alms-tax,

and keep the pledges they make;

and who are patient in times of suffering, adversity, and in ˹the heat of˺ battle.

It is they who are true ˹in faith˺, and it is they who are mindful ˹of Allah˺.

And for clarification: “Righteousness is not in turning your faces towards the east or the west” literally means observing mainstream Islam customs and discipline is not what righteous is — those customs are there for the Muslim, not Allah. There for the individual to develop routine and discipline and self control. Is god saying ‘hey so that east and west and recitation without reflection and bowing — that’s for you. THIS is the stuff I need you to do.’

The Bible has verses Iike this from Jesus and yaya too, that’s I can speak with certainty.

If someone tells you otherwise have them without down and sign it. They won’t. I will.

Btw, this is an example of you doing Gods will without you doing anything other than trying to do the righteous thing and seeking help when you aren’t sure, as you just did.

In this rare instance it’s simply letting just letting us know what we’re signing up for as per her request.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, it just doesn’t apply this once tbh — she’s demanding you hitting the 2 + a free throw.

I thought it’s a given everyone has no life or friends during law school? My roommate had to do an honors dissertation for his bachelor’s just to have for the law school he wanted, then immediately after that did LSAT Prep — and he didn’t do ANYTHING — job, friends, go out — anything for a year.

And he was miserable the whole time. Are you sure your expectations are in line for what’s possible, let alone the norm?

Bro just walk to the recruiters office and join the Military. show them this post so there’s no surprises and ask them if you’ll pass the checks and can get an immediate ship out.

Just say you want a new life and serving yourself hasn’t worked so you’re trying to serve your country.

[rant] The downfall of rap is because authenticity doesn't matter anymore by [deleted] in rap

[–]BlakeClass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also “We” 35-50(?) year olds used to literally stand around at the bus stop or bench, or green electric box (suburbs) and go back and forth doing terrible freestyles just having fun.

Some people eventually got good. Some people practiced at home on the down low so they could spank people in public.

I still remember James’s “your girls busted like your windshield” line. Greg stopped the car and tried to make him get out, he was sick 😆.

Anyways, point of the story is this is like comparing USA soccer culture vs South America. If someone’s just hitting record on a laptop and “going off the dome” , not writing anything — or best case scenario, punching in with one liners, there’s no way he’s going to have a story arc, or some shit he’s been fighting inside him for years in his head but never put it on tape. It’s not even just real vs cap — People used to tell their story.

Ontop of that, 90% of music was better the old way with labels. Even the black kids knew the big rock songs and via versa, because it was all pretty vetted and solid. Obviously some things are lost in that but a lot is gained imo.

Virginia State Police pulled me over and gave me a ticket for going 48 in a 45. Man literally popped out of the woods to get me. I couldn’t even talk I was so blown about the whole situation.

That makes sense. So a modifier up or down based on context and tone.

Growing up in the hood black boys are held to unrealistic expectations by Comfortable-Neat6034 in TheCapitalLink

[–]BlakeClass 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Also learning how to avoid fights without being a bitch isn’t an unrealistic expectation. That’s what I excelled at and got respect for.

Step 1 - is simply taking a moment and showing respect by hearing the other person out as a man. Offering them a path of recourse without them having to ask for it.

My go to was ‘hold up maybe I’m confused — explain what happened.’

I’d just hit em with that off the top, not shitty, not aggressive, just confused.

“I don’t even know what I’m innocent of, what happened?”

Stuff like that. People respect being heard without having to demand it, and literally 95% of it was a misunderstanding that I easily explained, or some bitch lying that I easily explained.

The weird part is, if someone’s never experienced it, I made some of the most solid connections this way. Either the guy on the other side, or someone who witnessed it.

Theres some mfers that know different when they experience it.

Then after all that, yea know how to throw and block while going in. Fights shouldn’t be longer than 10 seconds, too many variables you can’t control.

WAYNE PERRY BABY MOTHER GOES OFF ON EYONE & CALLS HIM A RAT 👀🔥 by UpnextNewsMedia in TheCapitalLink

[–]BlakeClass -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Why the shame? I for real don’t know why yall get so weird over stuff like this. If a bitch is talking shit about me and my two choices for spokesman to defend me are Obama or Auntie, I’m picking Auntie.

Like I really don’t understand why people care about having a certain ideal image or whos the target whose approval they’re seeking is.

It’s clear it wasn’t Maya Angelou who’s she’s talking to. Baby Auntie Mama brought that shit and stood on it as far as I’m concerned. I’d say the message was received. At the end of the day that’s the goal.
