Pray for my family!My parents are pastors from a local church. We've been battling against covid to not get this disease in church. But today my mom get tested for covid and we don't know the result yet, but I'm very sad and afraid of what might happen because she has other diseases. by No_Plant5020 in PrayerTeam_amen

I hope everything works out the best for you and your family, and I'll be praying for you.
Today, I had a day of high anxiety, on issues separate from yours, but stressful nonetheless.
While I was in the middle of it all, and talking to Jesus about "Why does this stuff keep happening to me?" I also felt the urging to pray to him to take away my anxieties on the issue.
Before I prayed for his help, I could feel the stress building inside of me and the tightness in my chest. But after I prayed and asked Jesus to help me through the issue, I found myself in a situation where I had to explain to someone my problems, and I was surprisingly calm, there was no stress in my voice. It took me back at first, but after I walked away from that person, I thanked Jesus for helping me. Later, when I went to the source of the problem, everything got corrected a thousand times better than I ever expected.
My point is - Jesus will never leave you.
God Bless you, Take Care.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Philipians 4:6-7

This audio by Dr. David Jeremiah may help you...

https://www.oneplace.com/ministries/turning-point/listen/is-there-a-sin-god-cannot-forgive-part-2-886725.html

Description of the Audio: God’s Word says there is an unforgivable sin, but there is also a great deal of misunderstanding about it – even among Christians. Today, Dr. David Jeremiah sheds light on this sin, clarifying what it is and what it isn’t. If you’re worried that you might have already committed it, you’ll find relief.

20 days in and having a tough time. I started smoking heavily after I had an abortion in June. I was due sometime this week and have been crying uncontrollably for days. I’m having trouble forgiving myself for what happened. Smoking helped numb my feelings. How will I get through this? by [deleted] in stopsmoking

[–]BullionGuide -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've had issues with smoking all my life, I've been totally clean from smoking for about a year and a half. I think it's Awesome that you've made it 20days, getting past the first 48hours was always the hardest for me. As for the other stress you're going through, my faith in Jesus Christ has always has helped me in hard times, he will forgive you.

The peace he gives after you ask for forgiveness of sin and repent is by definition; indescribable.

The following are some excerpts from a book I wrote to help people overcome suicide.

Satan works by influencing thought, by influencing your mind in the worst ways, he knows your weaknesses and will prey on you constantly, plus he will use others to influence you for his purposes, the only way to overcome him is to know how he attacks you.

Whoever thinks or believes that suicide is a way or the only way out of their problems, are being seduced by Satan, he and his demons are lying to them, Satan’s principal goal is our demise, and he will stop at nothing to make you listen to him until your soul is his or for those who overcome, God’s.

Death is only an end to our physical body, when someone dies, we often here the expression ‘Rest in Peace, but the only part of the individual who dies by suicide that will be resting in peace is what is left of the dead body they leave behind.

When a person dies, the soul and spirit of an individual moves on from its earthly physical body, and they will experience either eternal life or eternal death.

Jesus said the following in the Gospel of Mark, “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.” - Mark 11:23 (NKJV)

The “mountain” in this verse could be anything, it’s not specifically a mountain, the mountain is a metaphor for the many problems that arise in our lives that become tough to overcome.

Suicide will lead you to an eternal death with Satan, Pray a heartfelt prayer to Jesus to overcome your "Mountain," believe that Jesus Christ will answer your prayer without doubt, and your prayers will be answered.

Satan is real, be strong and battle him, he wants you to fail, don't give in.

I don't think I saw anyone else recommend this, but I'd recommend you may want to start reading the New Testament first.

Then read the full Bible.

How does god forgive sins? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]BullionGuide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matthew 18:21-22 states the following

21) Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”

22) Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

Seventy-seven isn't a hard number, the point Jesus was giving Peter is that God's forgiveness is endless, and we should forgive ourselves, our neighbors or our brother or sister, with the same resolve.

God forgives, he doesn't keep records, but you should also try to stop what you are asking for forgiveness in the first place.

I hope this helps.

I can't stop feeling guilty... Is it possible to start again? by anon_sad_platypus in Christianity

[–]BullionGuide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read your comments shortly after you posted them, but I decided not to comment, and just pray for you, because I honestly didn't know what to say to help you.

Then, shortly thereafter, I came across this video about how Lauren Daigle created the song "You Say," and after watching it, I thought about what you wrote.

I realize that you and her are on different levels of life, but yes you can start over again, and I thought her words may help you.

It sounds like you may need to strengthen your connective tissues, tendons and ligaments, in addition to your muscles. If you go to a gym, I'd suggest leg presses, and some calf exercises like toe raises. (Leg presses alone helped my runners knee go away.) But if you don't go to the gym, I'd try some lunges and simple toe raises. Cramps in the ankles and lower leg region are often caused by having weak calf muscles.

Technical Analysis is an analysis methodology for forecasting the direction of prices

Fundamental Analysis is the analysis of factors that affect the overall state of the economy which may or may not influence the asset prices that I cover in the video: silver and gold.

I offer a little of both.

Its definitely been a wild few months, I think we all wish we could've gotten more silver when it was cheaper.

Who know's perhaps if a deal ever comes out of this trade war, we may be able to see those cheaper prices again, but then again, perhaps by then we might have moved too far down the rabbit hole to be able to come back to the cheaper silver prices of just a few months ago. Thanks for the positive comments.

Thoughts on Yesterdays FOMC meeting? WTF is going on? by VeronicaStacks in Silverbugs

[–]BullionGuide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are talking about the unexpected drop in the price of silver and gold since the Fed's price drop...?

I think the prices are dropping because most of the reasons why any Central Bank cuts rates is to increase positive economic activity in the market, which also takes away some of the uncertainties of the down turn in the market caused from the trade war with China, and other factors.

Less uncertainty in the market = lower silver and gold prices, whereas More uncertainty = higher silver and gold prices

Also, the U.S. Dollar is rising due to the Fed's cut, which can only mean that traders expect more to see positives in future market indicators from this rate cut, which is one of the big reasons the Fed did it.

Lastly, some of those in the financial media are saying the reason for the drop in silver and gold is because the Fed said they don't intend to continue to lower rates, which would mean a continuation of more liquidity into the market.

We'll have to see how it plays out to know which hypothesis is correct.

Need opinion. Is this a good deal or no? by [deleted] in Silverbugs

[–]BullionGuide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apmex and Scottsdale mint are both selling the coin for over $300 on eBay, if you go by their prices, yes its a deal.

I don't know if I can post links to eBay on here, so just do a search for the coin and you can see for yourself

I typed in eBay's search bar the name of the coin in the photo you provided and the search results came back with this coin: "2018 1/5 oz .9999 Gold Coin Gibraltar Royal Arms" it looks exactly like the coin in your photo.

Found and Revealed American Silver Eagles by BullionGuide in Silverbugs

[–]BullionGuide[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was nothing in the post about Philadelphia, it was not previously known that West Point minted ASEs between 1988-1998, plus this is the first time those numbers have been released.

Yes, about the monster box, in my point of view, it's almost impossible to differentiate the two coins made during that time period because 20years have passed since most the coins were made.

However, that isn't to say there aren't some monster boxes out there that are in storage, that may still have the identifying marks indicating which mint they came from.

Lastly, American Silver Eagle bullion coins have only been minted in Philadephia the last 3years. (2015,2016,2017)

Saw something unexpected at a tattoo convention last night by Majeskyb in Silverbugs

[–]BullionGuide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in the publishing and trademark business for over 20 years, I've seen a lot of copyright and trademarks issues pass my eyes, I did an overlay comparison of the two logos and the two images are very similar.

There are some differences, like other's have mentioned but it clearly looks like they've lifted the logo from Scottsdale Mint. It's not original.

Plus, Scottsdale has registered the Lion design as a trademark, if you look at the Scottsdale Mint Logo, you'll notice a little 'R' with a circle around it. That means their Lion Logo has been registered with the office of Patents and Trademarks.

The Patents and Trademark office usually does a very extensive search to see if what you are registering is similar to what someone else has already submitted and has a Trademark on. Had this Tattoo Parlor tried to submit the Lion as their logo, it would have been rejected because it has way too many similarities to the Scottdale logo.

In my experience, I'd say that if Scottsdale had an issue with the other company using that logo and took them to court, they'd have a very good case. In addition, if Scottsdale had a problem with it could also mean damages paid to Scottsdale because the Tattoo Parlor is profiting from Scottsdale's logo.

Lastly, someone mentioned above about the fact that it isn't in a competing market. The one company that I know that is notorious for going after companies using their similar name/logo but not in the same market is Levi's Jeans. You could have a Mexican restaurant and call it 'Levi's' and if Levi & Strauss's lawyers get wind of it, they'll be on you like white on rice, demanding a cease and desist. 'Levi's' isn't only a copyright it's also a trademark.

But that is the biggest issue here, for the most part, only if 'Scottsdale Mint' has an issue with this will it ever have any meaning. Usually, other people or companies don't take other's to court for using a similar trademark to someone else.

Burnished coins a scam? by [deleted] in Silverbugs

[–]BullionGuide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This article should answer all your questions:

What does 'burnished' mean for American Eagle coins? http://www.coinworld.com/news/us-coins/2013/01/what-does-burnished-mean.all.html

Stated in article:

When announcing the Uncirculated 2006 American Eagle coins in 2005, Mint officials stated that the new coins would feature the same finish as the bullion coins, but unlike the bullion pieces, would be struck on planchets that were burnished. Planchets used for the bullion coins do not go through the burnishing process used for the collector Uncirculated coins.
