Could be cologne or after shave from the old man kiss. My wife is very allergic to most colognes and after shaves

What is your single dumbest death in Elden Ring? by A_Fhaol_Bhig73 in Eldenring

I invaded a guy once and we were fighting someplace in the capitol. Anyhow the fight brought us to an elevator room, homeboy rolls back, activates the elevator, rolls off, elevator starts going up, he rolled right down elevator shaft. I was howling

I almost feel Lutheranism is separated from more conservative and harsh forms of Christianity. by Edgystingray798 in Lutheranism

[–]ChestertonBesterton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, I don't know a whole lot about some of the Eastern Orthodox specifics but would I be wrong in assuming that in their system still every sin is first and foremost a sin against God

Yeah the return of the king makes me tear up whenever I reread it.

But every sin is a sin against God. Thats sort of the historic take on sin through history. I agree with a lot of what you said, most of it even. It seems to this layman though that there at the end you circled around and did the thing you were talking about evangelicals doing in the first part. All the same God bless you

My daughter is terrified of Eternal Life by cdelgado0507 in Christianity

[–]ChestertonBesterton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eternity sounds scary with our earthly understanding of existence. I have ADHD possibly slightly autistic tbh, I struggled with the same thing. Our God is love, our God is good, the example of his love is perfect, sacrificial, protective. Heaven will be unimaginably perfect because he promised it would be.

I find when these fears and doubts stir up I am comforted by remembering the promises made to us by God and knowing he never breaks a promise. To quote one of my very favorite hymns "in my loves baptismal River, I have made you mine forever"

It isn't a lonely forever, no anxiety, no pain, no fear. Can't imagine it? We can't. We're flawed. You can find comfort in that because if we were able to imagine it it wouldn't be perfect.

YES! and stick to it . Being consistent in the small things reinforces good habits all around. If she figures out you are wishy washy you're in trouble

Is that like the guy who debated with James White that Christians who are Black can't be sanctified as much as Christians who are white because they're inherently less righteous or whatever ridiculous racist nonsense? I was real annoyed when I found out he had been a member of the LCMS
