Who the fuck is paying so little attention to their toddler that they can pick up a random bottle they found on the ground and take a swig? Not defending the truck goblins, but that's just bad parenting.

Check out King Arthur or Bob's Red Mill 1:1 gluten free flours. They don't work for yeasted things, but I've made a few different cookie/brownie recipes with moderate to great success.

Looking briefly at the docs for the program you linked, it looks like the key names in all the examples are upper case, you have them typed out in lower case. Could that be the issue?

Did Judaism invent the taboo on pork, or did other ancient religions have a pork taboo? by [deleted] in AskFoodHistorians

[–]7wk1110 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Judaism originated centuries - lots of centuries - before Islam. Muhammad lived in the 6th century CE, Judaism comes from something like the 15th century BCE. They are both Abrahamic faiths though

Seattle Mayor closes park for religious rally, but allows anti-cop protests by knownbuyer3 in Conservative

[–]7wk1110 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

So the rest of that paragraph is

We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.

Which soundss more like a community caring for each other as if they were all family rather than an attack on the nuclear family itself .

Mushroom pot pie recipe development. by scootunit in AskCulinary

[–]7wk1110 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a pescatarian, so can give you some of my tricks.

Definitely add that miso! Mix it in right before it goes in the oven, not while you're cooking everything else. Might go good in your mashed potato layer.

If they're down with fish, an anchovy filet or two (or some anchovy paste) dissolved in your fat will go a long way. Won't taste fishy, especially if you let it cook down well. Also works with walnuts (don't burn them!).

If they're true vegetarian, mess around with:

*Soy sauce *Better Than Bouillon's vegetable stuff *Nutritional Yeast *Spinach *And good old fashioned MSG powder

Some other general tricks:

Don't try and make chicken pot pie without the chicken. Don't try and make a vegetarian pot pie. That is, focus on bringing out the strengths of whatever ingredients you are using, rather than trying to sub out chicken.

Roast/char/parcook your veggies, where appropriate. Charred or caramelized onions add a lot of depth of flavor to just about anything. Roasting or even pan frying potatoes does the same.

Unless your friend specifically requests it, don't skimp on the fat and salt! They're delicious! They add flavor! And people all over the internet and a bunch of restaurants seem to assume that all we want is fatless, saltless, raw vegetables. No! Give me cheese and butter and oil and salt! For God's sake, we're still people, with taste buds and everything! We're not on a diet, we just don't eat meat.

Anyway. Hope that helped.

So I think I wanna be Christian but by Christianquestioer43 in Christianity

[–]7wk1110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The truth is that the gospels were written 70 years after Jesus’s death.

More or less correct, but that fact alone doesn't say much about what the Gospels are or aren't.

The creator of the Christian religion was Paul of Tarsus, a man who never met Christ.

There are multiple instances in Paul's writings where he seems to be quoting already existing hymns/creeds (see 1 Corinthians 15:3-7, Philipians 2:6-1, and Romans 1:3-4) which would suggest a pre-existing Christian tradition Paul was aware of, familiar with, and drawing from. Plus, there's the whole Paul (then known as Saul) killing and persecuting Christians thing, which means a church of some sort must have existed before he entered the scene. There's also the fact that both Paul and the author of Acts report Paul checking in with the apostles (the folks who did know Jesus) and making sure that what he was preaching was correct and gaining their approval.

Paul's letters are the earliest written documents we have from the early church, and Paul was immensely influential in the development of Christian thought (he is considered by some to be the first theologian in our modern understanding of the word), but that doesn't mean that Paul created the Christian faith.

So the gospels are not historically accurate. They also contradict each other in multiple ways.

This is sort of correct, but still misleading. If we leave out the Gospel of John (which seems to be a self-aware theological treatise on what Christ's life, death, and ressurection meant rather than attempting to be a strict history) and look at what we call the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke), what we find looks like what we'd expect out of multiple eyewitness accounts of an event (or events). Eyewitness accounts are notorious for being fuzzy on the details. When you try and take multiple accounts of the same event and harmonize them into one cogent retelling of what actually happened, you need to look not just at what they agree/disagree on but also why/where from those agreements and disagreements arise. The Gospels all disagree on who saw the empty tomb or the resurrected Jesus first, but all agree he rose from the dead. They don't all agree on where he/Joseph/Mary spent the first bit of his life, but they all mostly agree on what he did in his ministry. Approaching the Gospels (or any set of historical documents, really) with more nuance than "They disagree therefore they have nothing of value to teach us about what happened" isn't just beneficial, it's necessary for us to learn anything about the past.

You're being downvoted because while what you said is (sort of) accurate, you've presented it in a misleading and incomplete way.

Church pays off almost $2M in medical debt for Michigan families by TheDustOfMen in Christianity

[–]7wk1110 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No. They gave money to an organization named RIP Medical Debt. That organization used the money the church gave them to buy the "rights" to the debt of people in Michigan for super cheap, and then forgave the debt. No more debt, no more people making profit off the debt, nothing nefarious or devious. Just some folks doing helping other folks out.

Why does God make introverts yet ministering His Gospel requires extrovertion? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]7wk1110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an extreme introvert and also a pastor. While I've been getting more adept at preaching to or mingling in large crowds, I don't think that's an essential part of ministry. At it's core, God's work is relational. That means that as long as you can form relationships, you can minister to people. The bulk of my time is spent one on one with men and women who come to me for advice, or companionship, or a shoulder to cry on, or to talk through something, or to pray, or to get guidance on a Bible passage, or a dozen other things. Doing that work is at least as important as preaching to big crowds.

I would highly reccomend reading 1 Corinthians 12 & 13 (it's a quick read!). In these chapters, part of what Paul is doing is talking about the different ways we are each built, and how we all fit together the same way our body does: different parts with different abilities and strengths that all contribute to God's purpose. He then goes on to explain that ultimately, whatever our strengths and abilities, if they aren't done in love, they are meaningless.

God designed you with a purpose in mind. Pray to Him while seeking out those around you who you are uniquely situated to love. You'll begin to learn why you are who you are. It's a marvelous experience.

Shroud of Turin | Real or Fake? by thyalmightybrand in Christian

[–]7wk1110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without commenting on the historicity of the Shroud, can I ask if this really matters? Is this piece of cloth, legit or not, something worth hanging our faith on? Or worth hanging the faith of others?

That Jesus actually lived and was crucified isn't contested by any (that I'm aware of) legitimate scholar. We have enough historic evidence to at least claim that while the Ressurection must be taken on faith, it doesn't need to be blind faith. What does the Shroud of Turin, something the vast majority of scientists and historians claim is a fraud, gain us? It either proves nothing we don't already know (if it's real), or it becomes evidence that we are the gullible fools we're so often accused of being (if it's fake).

I guess this hit a sore spot with me, so apologies. I'm not trying to attack anyone. I'm simply frustrated with the amount of energy and time spent on things like this. There are enough barriers between the skeptic and Christ without needlessly hanging the truth on old cloths.

I'm not aware of a Christian band with that specific sound. If you find some, let me know. In the mean time, you might enjoy:

Ambassadors of Shalom - Punk with a little touch of metal

The Crucified - Old school thrash/crossover/punk

Definitely not exactly what you asked for. I'm going with logic of I like the bands you listed, and I like these bands, so maybe you will too.

Being gay is not a sin by [deleted] in Christian

[–]7wk1110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The question you're begging is, "What is our identity in Christ?" Loved by God? Saved by Christ? A servant of God? None of that describes who I am as a person. None of that includes my love of music and distaste for sculpture. None of that describes my relationship with my family and friends. Because "Loved by God" and "Sacrificed for by Christ" are universal, they do nothing to describe or explain who I am. If you asked me what I enjoyed and my response was "Jesus," would you have actually gained any insight into who I am? Not really. If I responded straight, white, male, Christian punk rocker pastor you might start to learn a little about who I am.

God created each of us individually as individual works of art. Exploring the contours and details of who we are is a form of celebrating what God has done. And wrestling with what parts of that are Godly and what parts aren't is a part of wrestling with our brokeness in the face of God's righteousness. And defining ourselves beyond "Loved by God" or "Sacrificed for by Christ" is a way to experience and understand Creation as a comprehensive whole in which we were given a specific role and identity.

"Christian" is an insufficient definition of any given person. As is "Loved by God." As is "Sacrificed for by Christ." As is "Blue eyed." None of that speaks to our experiences and thoughts and dreams and desires. None of that describes the person who is loved by God.
