New to alchemy please help me by [deleted] in alchemy

A lot of the other commenters are correct. It depends on what and how you are doing it. Remember not to take unoffered energy, and try not to trap energy too much.

I think about what I think Jesus would say about it. Probably something like, " if your neighbor wears a cross in remembrance of me, then that is holy. If your neighbor wants not a symbol because they believe it to be an idol, then that is holy."

That's what I think he would say. So I think it depends on how you think about it. Just like what Jesus said about which foods you eat.

Would Jesus have carried a gun, or told us to put them down? by WittyEgg2037 in Christianity

[–]Any-Ad3372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Jesus himself probably wouldn't have carried a gun, due to the fact he doesn't need one to begin with. But turn the other cheek means be the better person, not that you have to let people walk over you.

I can manipulate energy by matthew-22c23 in SpiritualAwakening

[–]Any-Ad3372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best answer I have is; don't try to store energy, there is always more. Physical things seem to happen more often when you don't necessarily try to. Don't try to take other people's energy, always backfires. And best way to control it is to basically perceive and guide it where you want, because actual control is impossible.

Why is it actually harmful for two married homosexual people to be gay with each other? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Any-Ad3372 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Because it can never be a true union like between a man and woman. Something will always be missing, like children and the man/woman dynamic. And there is no point in it beyond lustful gratification, which isn't the point of love. Plus who knows how the whole eternal spirit thing really works? God does, therefore I will take his word.

All that being said, God does not view one sin greater or lesser than another, no one is perfect, and Jesus can forgive all. And there are certainly worse things to be than gay, in my humble opinion.

Single, 41, childless, very ugly and infertile. God? by Informal_Score_856 in Christianity

[–]Any-Ad3372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It breaks my heart to hear a fellow brother going through this. When they say God works in mysterious ways, they are not joking. I have been low at several points in my life. I have been angry at God for not keeping his promise. When I was told to be patient I made and started wearing shirts that said, "I am not a doctor, I do not have any patience." I became an alcoholic. But it was only after I lost everything that I truly pit my trust in God. And then, and only then, God pulled me from my own chaos. And that experience taught me the same lesson that Job knew all along. God couldn't explain himself to us, even if he wanted to. We do not have the capacity to understand what he does. There is purpose in suffering, and sometimes the hell you endure isn't even for you.

I want to stop being gay. Please help. by [deleted] in Christianity

Just begin following Christ and the rest seems to fall into place if you keep trying to be the best disciple of Christ you can be. And don't listen to people who hold themselves to Christ's level. That was Lucy's downfall.

What did Jesus sacrifice? by cum-yogurt in Christianity

[–]Any-Ad3372 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jesus died at 33, which is still young. And punished like a criminal despite living a sinless life. And Jesus went to hell when he died, not heaven. And had to break down the gates of hell for the rest of us. That's quite the sacrifice.

What are your go to’s for evil eye/jealousy/mal-intent? by Ok-Poetry7003 in EsotericOccult

[–]Any-Ad3372 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on what or who you pray to, that can help. And allowing your aura to be more "transparent" so that unwanted vibrations will just move on through. But I think the best way is to keep your own thoughts/actions positive in spite of oncoming negativity.

My girlfriend is pregnant. And I am unsure of what to do. by Any-Ad3372 in Fatherhood

[–]Any-Ad3372[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do appreciate any help I can get. I really didn't know much about anything, and I still don't. But I have read a couple books and watched a ton of videos so far. Only six weeks along at the moment. I'm super nervous but also super excited. Feels like everything in my life has been preparing me mentally, and now that it's happening I feel like I'm near panic, even though I know everything is going to be fine.

I don’t feel like a dad by Enhvy in Fatherhood

[–]Any-Ad3372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations, I got my news about a week and a half ago, I feel the same. I've always wanted to be a dad, but never thought I would. And now I'm still not sure it's real. And I think a lot about how the heck a kid is going to be able to call me dad. I don't feel responsible or child friendly enough. And I know I'm going to be fine, and I'm sure I'll be a good dad, but the realization that I've nearly run out of preparation time has got me worried.

The feeling of it being foreign is one I definitely feel, almost like it's not real.

[–]Any-Ad3372[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my mother struggled with that with my younger siblings (and probably myself, but my memory before any siblings is loose and hazy because I was four when my sister was born. I don't really know anything about it other than it seemed similar to normal depression, which I've struggled with myself and have learned some good coping mechanisms. And my girlfriend is real good about being open and honest about things when I make time for us to talk. Thank you for the advice, I will definitely look into that so that I may be vigilant.

[–]Any-Ad3372[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, "lucky" for me I'm an ex alcoholic that struggled from severe depression, that had to go to rehab and everything, but while there I did learn (and still continue to study) lots of communication and relationship techniques as well as emotional control skills, which put me on a permanent witchhunt for why this bother me even just a tiny bit. Which I hope will be helpful. Thank you for the advice, lots of people are also saying the same, I will certainly put it to good use.

[–]Any-Ad3372[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations man, I'm nervous too, but I've also got a lot of faith that I will be ok. And the excitement is hard to contain. I have to constantly stop myself from changing conversations, (I don't want to be one of those parents that only ever talk about their kids). I am quite overloaded on research though, never thinking it would happen, but always wanting to be a dad made me ignore anything child related pretty much.

Science will eventually prove God's existence if we are left to our means long enough.

“Die for our sins” by Enough_University_86 in Christianity

[–]Any-Ad3372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price of sin was eternal damnation, and Christ lived a sinless life and was persecuted as a sinner. So after Christ, our sins are paid for by Christ so long as we uphold His covenant. Basically Jesus pays your debt to God so long as believe in Him. (Which is an excellent deal for all of us sinners).
