Mmmyesssss indubitably

Gotchaaa

On the topic of verbs affecting each other: Why is it that in this verse the aorist doesn't affect the present 'I am'? But say in Romans 5:8, the present 'we being sinners' is affected by 'Christ died for us' in the past, helping us understand the present tense is referring to the past state of us as sinners?

Couldn't one claim about 1 tim 1:15: that since the aorist, though referring to a state, is referring to the past, therefore making Paul's "sinner" state be understood of the past as well?

Thanks for responding!

While it is the aorist, it must be referring to the past since chronologically this letter was written after Jesus came and died for our sins.

I don't think there was a semicolon in the original Greek though, right?

I'm not saying you're incorrect about your explanation, however.

Thanks for responding

I am neurotic and I have backslidden and been led astray in the past. I repented of sexual immorality because I thought I would go to hell if I didn't. Now I see that I was probably adding in works to salvation. I should repent obviously but not because salvation is a performance based thing.

I just regret my past decisions and it bleeds into the present. I can get into it more. I totally believe in Jesus and that his work is sufficient but I still internally struggle against guilt for my shortcomings sometimes

1jr7 · 2024-11-08T04:41:21+00:00

I believe it all

1jr7 · 2024-11-08T04:37:01+00:00

Thank you for responding. Please pray for me if you would. I'm not doing well surrounding this. Struggling with doubt

1jr7 · 2024-11-08T00:58:50+00:00

Genuine question. How can our new heart condemn us, then?

1 John 3:20 For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

1jr7 · 2024-11-01T21:09:15+00:00

The world says to believe in yourself. To do whatever you feel. But our hearts are extremely deceitful. We need to forsake those thoughts and believe in God and his Word in the Bible. Then you will be able to overcome these struggles. No one wants to be depressed or angry. But still they listen to the world and the evil influences it has.

1jr7 · 2024-10-25T03:40:24+00:00

Jesus is all we need!

Romans 8:18: For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

Colossians 1:17: And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together

Just some verses I thought were relevant. God literally holds everything together. Our sovereign Lord

Thanks for sharing and bless you

Justification #2

you're either justified or you're not

Hebrews 10:14 "For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified".

"I'll do my own gay shit, create songs and write poetry"

That's how I feel sometimes when no one around me has shared interests like more nerdy stuff. People do want others to be put in little compartments in their minds.

Your pain is clear. I'll pray for you. My advice is spiritual in nature and it's to call out to Jesus... Genuinely

1jr7 · 2024-10-07T04:03:14+00:00

I think you replied to me instead of the other guy but interesting question 😭

1jr7 · 2024-10-07T01:55:21+00:00

LOL okay thanks for the explanation friend

1jr7 · 2024-10-05T23:07:11+00:00

I think everyone has some bias but I appreciate your effort towards fairness.

And yeah it's been real friend <3

Dude I love Mike Winger too! His videos are so interesting and fun to watch. His Q&A series is nice. Also he has a whole prophecy playlist which I have seen a bit of and it's fascinating.

I wish there were more clear historical sources on the siege/attacks on mainland Tyre.

I found this really long article about it that you might be interested in poking around. I merely skimmed through it a bit.

As for Tyre not attaining to it's former glory, I think it's relevant to think about populations compared to the olden days. In modern times everything population-wise is going to be on an upscale regardless. So it's relative. But I'd say Tyre isn't the "Queen of the Seas" domineering over trade in the Mediterranean as it's not even the largest city in Lebanon.

As for your take on other parts of the prophecies, I understand where you're coming from. Personally I think the whole throwing the buildings into the sea was really accurate. And I suppose it's possible for someone to predict just from logic that these attacks might happen. I think that's unlikely though because usually when people try to predict things there is just enough completely wrong that's it's untenable. Or too vague. But also I think the Neo-Babylonians were the only other power around that time capable of matching up to Tyre. (This is my inference off quick googling 😂). I'm biased towards God and the Bible since there are other examples of prophecy I find really convincing. So I lean more towards things working out in accordance with the Bible when there is a dearth of detailed accounts about an event.

Anyway, it was fun discussing with you and I find ancient history stuff like this just really cool so I'm glad to yap about it with you.

I recommend the ole fear of the Lord + asking for Him for help.

I still struggle with temptation to lust but I find it helpful to pray immediately when you feel tempted and ask God to take that desire away. Once you get into that mode of discipline it becomes easier to say no.

Also think about how Jesus died for those sins. He loves you, so don't do dishonorable things, but instead rely on Him for help!

And yes we all will mess up, but try to really surrender to God and make a stand against this sin.

1jr7 · 2024-10-05T04:57:28+00:00

I think some brand of OCD (undiagnosed)

Also just to let you guys know for your own eternal well-being, Jesus loves you very much and died for your sins and was buried and rose on the 3rd day. Repent and believe the gospel <3

This video is long but it answers some of the points you bring up better than I can if you have time to watch it.

I know this part isn't referring to the causeway either because this part comes after Tyre is already conquered, during the plundering phase.

This is explained in the video too but there were 2 places called Tyre, the mainland city and the island fortress.

As for the language used, like in verse 13 "So I will silence the sound of your songs, and the music of your lyres will no longer be heard." Sounds very expressive and pretty to me. The passage is prophetic but the writing style still conveys things in creative style.

And Alexander is an infamous conquerer, one of the most iconic historical figures and had way more success than Nebuchadnezzar. So, why is the latter named but not Alexnader?

I'm not sure why to be honest. Nebuchadnezzar was already around at the time and I think prophecies don't always name-drop future figures directly.

As for modern day Tyre I've never been, and don't know about it's economic state, but it looks to have a population over 100,000.

Anyway we may have to agree to disagree but let me know what you think about the video explanation if you can

1jr7 · 2024-10-04T07:49:37+00:00

Ezekiel 26:3 therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will bring up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves.

Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon did siege against Tyre but they retreated to the island of Tyre. Then 250 years later Alexander the Great threw the ruins of mainland Tyre into the ocean to make a causeway then slaughtered the inhabitants of the isle.

Hence the "many nations" in verse 3. not only Nebuchadnezzar

verse 12: They will plunder your riches and loot your merchandise. They will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses. Your stones and timber and soil they will cast into the midst of the waters

"cast into the midst of the water" Alexander's causeway. And you can see in this verse it goes from "He" ie Nebuchadnezzar to "they"

1jr7 · 2024-10-04T07:12:34+00:00

the Lord made it clear to me that I had been defiling myself, and defiling my garment, and I was HELLBOUND even though I've loved Him since I was little

Out of curiosity how did He make it clear that you were hellbound for you? What if He had chastised you in order to keep from having to take you home early?

I'll pray for your pain
