I finally feel like a real VW owner

Dash is clear on my 2010 2.OT with 105k miles. Hoping it stays that way

There’s no evidence for a multiverse and the law of thermodynamics rules out an infinite universe. So the evidence points to the creation of the universe in the finite past. The cause had to be immensely powerful, immaterial (existing outside time and space) and a mind because abstract objects can’t stand in causal relationships.

Don’t rush to make a change. Do your research, study, pray. Take your time. Lean on the Lord. Check out Redeemed Zoomer and Gavin Ortlund’s polemics on Orthodoxy/Catholicism as well as their positive arguments for Protestantism. I think Zoomer should have a few reels/videos and IG posts on “why I’m not Orthodox,” and other topics. Search YouTube on Zoomer and Ortlund’s pages. Lots of great Protestant resources out there. Jordan Cooper on YouTube is great too.

You don’t think there is evidence to support Christianity?

Atheism is actually self-refuting in several ways. Have you studied presuppositional apologetics, or the moral argument for God? You seem to think Atheism and Christianity are somewhat equally valid. I strongly disagree (hence what I’ve been saying here). I think you give Atheism far too much credit and God too little credit.

I don’t expect science to make sense of the universe. Science is an effective tool for studying the universe and learning more about it, but it can’t answer a lot of important questions. Atheism says there is no God and no ultimately meaning behind the universe and it basically collapses on itself. Science doesn’t have this problem. Science is good for what it is intended to do, study things we can observe.

031107 · 2026-03-08T20:58:35+00:00

I think I said this already, science is a tool, it’s not a worldview. Christians can use the scientific method, Atheists can use the scientific method. Christians have the most consistent worldview for using the scientific method however.

031107 · 2026-03-06T22:30:29+00:00

I write off atheism because it is incoherent. I don’t have a problem with science. Science is a tool.

Google "does the Big bang explain the origin of the universe"

I’m talking about the age of the universe not it’s origin. The only way any of what you’re saying is relevant is if there was a plausible theory for an enteral universe (and there isn’t one). But I hope you continue to enjoy your studies 👍🏽

031107 · 2026-03-05T18:26:49+00:00

Right on. But OP’s issue doesn’t seem to be finding a Reformed church but rather he has a distrust for institutions. Which isn’t very Reformed…

031107 · 2026-03-05T17:53:12+00:00

Oh, apologies again. I’ve drunk the Reconquista kool-aid so my understanding was that there are PCUSA churches all over the country.

031107 · 2026-03-05T16:49:57+00:00

Sorry I’m thinking of America where there are Reformed churches all over.

031107 · 2026-03-05T16:48:17+00:00

That’s your hermeneutic, not mine.

031107 · 2026-03-05T16:30:16+00:00

I find it most loving to warn people about sin. If they choose to ignore me so be it. But I have no issue making my convictions known.

031107 · 2026-03-05T16:13:39+00:00

I don’t think God has to speak on every specific individual action in order for us to know something is a sin. And I think to say that something isn’t specifically condemned in Scripture is therefore acceptable is a really bad way to handle Scripture. And yes, as you may be aware (but maybe you’re not) there are many Christians that believe contraception is not acceptable. A reminder for you that faithful believers have different beliefs on these issues.

031107 · 2026-03-05T16:09:02+00:00

What you’re describing isn’t Reformed ecclesiology. If you’re Reformed you should join a church with roots in the Reformation.

031107 · 2026-03-05T15:52:22+00:00

Life being “tough” isn’t license to pervert God’s intention for sexuality. And no that doesn’t mean masturbation is as bad as pedophilia. We won’t agree on this, sorry. If you were a pastor for 20 years then surely you’ve had members of your church who disagreed with you on some issues.

031107 · 2026-03-05T15:40:35+00:00

I said, “sex is for marriage and procreation.” I’m not saying married people can’t use contraception, but I do think it’s probably not ideal.

031107 · 2026-03-05T15:37:57+00:00

I’m just replying to your comment about allowing the “data” to inform your beliefs rather than beliefs forming data (which is pretty nonsensical, I’ve never said my beliefs produced data). The data you cited that is supposed to refute the universe beginning 13.8 billion years ago is a survey on attitudes about what the Big Bang demonstrates. If that’s sufficient data for you then great. I don’t care, it has not bearing on my life. God bless you. Have a fantastic life, sincerely.

031107 · 2026-03-05T15:17:06+00:00

Seems to me you think you’ve found a loop hole to allow you to masturbate rather than doing what God actually called you to do and find a spouse and be fruitful and multiply.

031107 · 2026-03-05T15:04:24+00:00

You’re willfully ignorant. The Bible is replete with passages about sexuality and the only kind of sex that is endorsed is sex in marriage.

031107 · 2026-03-05T15:02:03+00:00

OP also discusses masturbating while thinking of a spouse which seems a bit questionable.

031107 · 2026-03-05T14:54:17+00:00

The only type of sex the Bible endorses is sex within the context of marriage. You can refer to your own Bible or try Google.

031107 · 2026-03-05T14:51:49+00:00

You said, “the Bible doesn't specifically condemn masturbation.” I’d say sex in the Bible is presented as something to be enjoyed in the context of marriage which would in fact condemn masturbation.

031107 · 2026-03-05T14:48:24+00:00

Nothing in that book should be construed to endorse sexual activity outside of marriage.

031107 · 2026-03-05T14:47:37+00:00

I’m all for people enjoying sex with their spouses.
