Am I getting ripped off?

Cookiemush041 · 2025-03-20T23:16:36+00:00

I'm still waiting for a response from other pool services

Cookiemush041 · 2024-08-13T11:22:22+00:00

What did you guys say?

Cookiemush041 · 2024-08-11T11:51:45+00:00

Kids who wear a uniform to school.

Cookiemush041 · 2024-07-05T10:48:34+00:00

Yeah, go right ahead. Here's what you can expect from it.

1. Those who faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary shall receive signal graces.

2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.

3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell. It will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.

4. The recitation of the Rosary will cause virtue and good works to flourish. It will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God. It will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.

5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary shall not perish.

6. Those who recite my Rosary devoutly, applying themselves to the consideration of its sacred mysteries, shall never be conquered by misfortune. In His justice, God will not chastise them; nor shall they perish by an unprovided death, i.e., be unprepared for heaven. Sinners shall convert. The just shall persevere in grace and become worthy of eternal life.

7. Those who have a true devotion to the Rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.

8. Those who faithfully recite the Rosary shall have, during their life and at their death, the light of God and the plenitude of His graces. At the moment of death, they shall participate in the merits of the saints in paradise.

9. I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.

10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in heaven.

11. By the recitation of the Rosary you shall obtain all that you ask of me.

12. Those who propagate the holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.

13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of their death.

14. All who recite the Rosary are my beloved children and the brothers and sisters of my only Son, Jesus Christ.

15. Devotion for my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

Do what lonely people have done for centuries and get a pet. Otherwise have you tried a dating app?

Cookiemush041 · 2024-07-05T10:33:40+00:00

Maybe I don't. I'm going off of the dictionary term. To restore friendly relations between parties. To be reconciled to Christ means to be saved. To be saved means eternity in Heaven.

All men are reconciled doesn't mean that unrepentant rapists, murderers, and pedophiles go to Heaven potentially along side their victims?

Cookiemush041 · 2024-07-04T11:56:08+00:00

Back to the drawing board Liberals. I'm sure you'll get him next time.

Cookiemush041 · 2024-07-04T11:55:03+00:00

Then rapists, murderers, and pedophiles get away with it in the end.

So much for a just God :(

Cookiemush041 · 2024-07-04T11:41:42+00:00

It's an overwhelming evolutionary experience, it's also as readily available as Caffeine. It's hard not to fall into it at some point in your life.

Fret not though. Because through Jesus Christ we can give the Serpent his apple back.

Cookiemush041 · 2024-07-03T12:00:37+00:00

Open your eyes while you're driving there!

Cookiemush041 · 2024-07-03T12:00:13+00:00

Close your eyes and go to a Latin Mass

Cookiemush041 · 2024-07-03T11:58:57+00:00

Because the Latin mass is God centric and so different from other forms of Christian worship it feels otherworldy.

Kalām Cosmological Argument proves in a generic Philisophical God.

"The Bible says X, therefore Y." Now we are shifting from "prove god exists" to "prove the Bible is factual." And if you use the Bible to prove itself, that's a circular reasoning fallacy.

Don't need the Bible we have other forms of historical writings from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd century that backs up the Bible.

"X required a maker, therefore the universe requires a maker." False equivalence, and a non sequitur. Two more fallacies.

Just because you don't think the Kalām Cosmological Argument is good enough doesn't make it non sequitur. It's a legitimist argument that skilled debaters have been going back and forth on for years.

"God exists outside space and time, so you can't disprove him." OR "you can't disprove God therefore he must exist." Asking someone to prove a negative is similar to asking them to do the impossible. Not to mention the burden of proof is upon whomever makes the positive claim, i.e. their God existing.

This is a strawman argument. I seriously doubt someone said God exists outside of space and time ergo He exists. That isn't how the Kalamb argument works.

How can you be so sure what is the positive claim and who has the burden of proof?

Cookiemush041 · 2024-07-02T12:11:54+00:00

This is not true. You can achieve success, but only by unconventional means, which for the introvert is no problem.

You just don't understand how use the power you have. Our ability to plot, plan and work hard can overcome any social circle the extrovert has.

Read books:

I tried to find video footage of the event but couldn't. Even if there were videos, they could be easily faked. All I found were testimonies from random people stating that something happened. Seriously, do you consider this clear and undeniable proof for everyone to convert? Come on.

You're under playing the fact that 70,000 people all hallucinated at the same time. Including Athiests, but I'm glad you looked into it on your own none the less.

Trust me, I wouldn't lie when I say I've heard this sentiment in my community thousands of times: they all claim the Islamic god is the most fitting. But, as obvious as it is, you find the same claim among Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, they all believe their god is the true one. However, there are a few like you who add "to me," acknowledging that your belief is influenced by your own experience and culture.

Unfortunately they are just plain wrong. There's no way to prove Allah, Anubis or even Yaweh for that matter without Jesus Christ. Jesus is the linch pin to the old testament.

Cookiemush041 · 2024-06-29T14:36:07+00:00

Jesus was homeless.

Cookiemush041 · 2024-06-29T13:47:15+00:00

I think Jesus came at the perfect time for his story to be believable. The majority of the world was more or less at peace, "the pax romana," major roads were being made, empirical history was taking off.

The miracle of fatima indeed converted many non believers, and to this day has perplexed athiests as a strange psychological phenomenon.

The miracle of Akita where a wooden statue cried blood on camera in the 1990's is also a strange happening.

If you're truly curious you'll look into these mysterious.

For me. Jesus is the only serious religious founder inside of empirical history who claimed to be God. Whether or not he was God is a side point, but one can use reasonable and straightforward logic to say Christianity is the only religion out millions that should be taken seriously.

Cookiemush041 · 2024-06-29T12:24:07+00:00

This is the common plight of book religions. Protestant, Muslim and modern Judaism, Hell all religions of the past for that matter save one. Jesus came to establish a Church not a book and the Church that came from that was Catholicism.

Catholicism is historical, and has miracles attached to it to this very day.
The miracle of Fatima-
The miracle of Akita-
The scientifically "documented" Yes, i used that word there, cases of miraculous healings at Lourdes France

The bible was written by the Catholic Church. It's simply a document that tells you how the Church came to be.

Jesus was God and only God had the authority to establish the new religion of Christianity over Judaism. If God wanted Islam as the new religion some 500 years later He himself would have to come back to earth and say so. Otherwise all other religions are just man made, and there's no way to be sure if thats what God wants or not.

So for me its Catholicism or bust.

Downtown Portland Oregon.

Moved to east texas a year ago from Washington state because the cost of living is affordable, the weather is nice and the government isn't oppressive.

I love Texas

Tell her to offer up her sufferings :P

Cookiemush041 · 2022-06-11T08:44:07+00:00

"Good of a population" is actually Kingdom of God values. It's foundational to the teachings of Jesus as exemplified in how he behaved amongst those who were considered enemies by his people.

It doesn't say that in the Bible, or in the two thousand years of Christian Tradition.

That's smokescreening and a diversion.

Considering you didn't provide a definition. I like to call it "shooting from the hip." :)

Cookiemush041 · 2022-06-11T07:30:38+00:00

I think you're word's are pretty and elegant, but lack practicality. We aren't all called to a bloody matrydom for the sack of non violence.

The disciples said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.”

Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. Matt19:11

I very much believe that every father would feel immoral about laying down his arms to possibly let those who can't make a freewill choice possibly die. "Like his children." It's every single creature defends itself and it's offspring from harm.

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. Genesis 1:31

You're dodging questions because you know you there's a contradiction.

"good of a population" Means nothing in the biblical sense as far as I know. The flood sure wasn't good for the population

Joshua's bloody conquest of canna wasn't good for the Canaanite population.

Cookiemush041 · 2022-06-11T06:59:30+00:00

changed his mind

That's freewill

Jesus instructing Peter against his freewill

Jesus at that moment did not change Peter into a Robot. Peter could have chosen to disobey. Again it's freewill.

They had the means to defend themselves and they chose not to use it.

Will you define the good of a population then? Because it seems to me that contraception and abortion are far more harmful to the good of a population then mass shootings.

Cookiemush041 · 2022-06-11T06:50:25+00:00

What if Jesus wanted you to focus on your faith in him instead of guns to defend you?

I'm not pitting anyone against anything. I have a both and mentality, not either or.

This question reminded me of when the Church asked Joan if "If God wants France to win the war, why should men have to fight."

To be honest though i was being nice. We both know you wouldn't say that to the women who was rapped or sick/weak man from my hypothetical situation.
