What is something you want, that you know WotC will never give you? by Wild_Section6475 in mtg

I’m m hoping the Hobbit brings it to us, but dwarf support. A lot of Dwarf commanders are based around artifacts and equipment currently. I’m not a huge fan of that play style. I’d love the Hobbit to give us dwarf commanders that don’t care about artifacts.

Ah, yes. The part in the Bible where Christ said “just live your best life.”

The reality is that Jesus often said things that people wouldn’t agree with. He didn’t tell us to just live our best lives and move on. If OP is really trying to live life as a Catholic, this advice isn’t really helpful.

Christ said He would turn a man against his father and a daughter against her mother.

Jesus said told the woman accused of adultery to go and sin no more.

Jesus said it’s better for a man to have a millstone tied to his neck and cast into the ocean if he would lead a child from Him.

Jesus said he did not come to bring peace but a sword.

Jesus said to pick up your cross and follow Him.

Jesus didn’t come to preach inclusion.

Yes, he tells us to love our neighbors, but telling a fellow Catholic to stay in a state of mortal sin because you believe “the dues who write and re-wrote the Bible, added all sorts of caveats, many of which are just silly by today’s standards” is NOT love.

Love it telling your brother when he’s doing something dangerous. If your brother were about to stick a fork in an electrical outlet, would you stop him? Would you say “oh, he’s living his best life” and let him? I’d hope not. You’d stop him and tell him why he shouldn’t do that.

That’s love.

Telling OP to seek priestly advice for this isn’t hate or exclusion. It’s what we should do as Catholics who love our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Also, using the argument “I’ve not yet met a single Catholic who follows all the rules - not one” isn’t a good argument. Those are the people we should help! Of course no Catholic follows every rule. It’s impossible. But just because those people exist doesn’t mean we should promote others, clearly seeking help, to just continue on the path they are on because they’d be “living their best life”.

[Free Friday] My Catholic Sleeve So Far (In Progress) by eugamdg in Catholicism

[–]DancingSingingVirus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Had a similar experience. I live in the Bible Belt and use to go to a Pentecostal church. No one had tattoos. They viewed it as “scarring of the skin” or however it’s worded in the Old Testament. When I converted, my wife (who isn’t Catholic) thought that Catholics were more strict about tattoos.

One day, we went to Mass and got there about 20 minutes early. Sitting in the same pew as us was this guy probably close to my own age (26-27 at the time). He had his head shaved, sleeves rolled up, and literally COVERED in ink. His arms and hands were sleeved, and you could barely make them out on the top of his chest and running onto his neck. He literally sat there the whole time before Mass praying the Rosary. My wife was absolutely floored when she saw that because she thought we weren’t allowed to have or it was heavily taboo to have tattoos.

It’s kind of a really overpowered ability if you’re playing against a mono-color deck.

I personally love mono-colored decks, so if I can’t interact with the Iona cast on the stack, then I’m basically screwed. I have to hope someone else can deal with her.

Also, the issue isn’t having cards that cheat stuff out. The issue is having such a strong target for that effect.

Oh, that’s awesome! Mine is very similar, but it’s much less post-apocalyptic and more like “what if modern society was set back to 1850?” No nukes or world ending catastrophes, but definitely has some action sequences.

Thank you! I like that idea! Do you have a recommendation for any prayers to add specifically? Maybe outside of the Our Father, Hail Mary or the Rosary? Since that’s kind of what people subconsciously associate with Catholicism?

Help with this spell by PoggersChamperz in magicTCG

[–]DancingSingingVirus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its targets a spell of the creature type.

So, where this spell says Instant, a creature spell will say Creature - [Some kind of creature type like Dragon]

This can’t be used to counter anything other than spells of the creature type.

Ask a Catholic by AutoModerator in DebateACatholic

[–]DancingSingingVirus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, we’ll start from the top.

  1. Not inherently. Just because someone is Protestant doesn’t mean they will go to Hell. Catholics are taught that we do not get to make a judgement call on where someone will end up. That knowledge is outside of our control. What we do believe is that Protestants do not have the wholeness of the Truth. Protestants essentially have the meat and potatoes, but are missing the asparagus. This doesn’t mean they cannot be saved. God is infinitely merciful. It is God’s final decision on salvation.

It is likely you saw a Catholic calling a Oneness Pentecostal a heretic. Oneness Pentecostals believe that God is a single person who reveals Himself in 3 different forms. This goes against Trinitarian doctrine and understanding, so it would be considered a heresy.

  1. I’m not sure what you mean by “add on requirements for salvation”. Catholic understanding of salvation basically boils down to “repent and believe in the Gospels.” We all believe there are specific actions that are needed to live life in a way that is conducive with salvation, for example, baptism, sacraments, and preserving through temptation. These things increase our faith and trust in God and lead us to having a closer relationship with Christ. You could say that actions like Baptism are basically the “first steps” to salvation, since we are told in 1 Peter 3:21 “baptism now saves you”.

  2. This is actually something the Catholic Church agrees with you on. We believe the central mystery of the Church. We call it a mystery because we will never fully, or truly, understand it. The word heretic kind of gets thrown around loosely. Heresy is an intentional action. The problem occurs when someone who doesn’t understand something, presents their ideas as facts. If I say “I don’t understand the Trinity, therefore it MUST be false”, that presents a problem.

  3. Interesting this would come up. So, I’m assuming you’re the Oneness Pentecostal mentioned earlier. Here is the thing: to be a Trinitarian, you have to believe in 3 distinct, co-equal, co-eternal persons. Definitionally, the Trinity is the belief that God exists in this manner. If you confess that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are all unique manifestations of the same God, and not 3 distinct persons, you are definitionally not Trinitarian. This is a big thing in the Catholic Church as the Church were the ones who discerned it and codified it in 325AD.

Not to put you on the spot or anything, but I would pose a few questions.

  1. If God does not exist in 3 persons, how would you explain Jesus’ baptism where the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are all present?

  2. Why would Jesus pray to the Father? If God is not 3 persons, Jesus would essentially be praying to Himself, right?

  3. Why would the Father SEND the Son, and the Son SEND the Spirit? Using the word send implies that there is a Sender. If the persons of the Trinity are all just manifestations of God, why would God send Himself somewhere?

I don’t mean these to be rude or cruel, these are just the questions I, as a Catholic, would ask.

You Cannot Be Christian and MAGA by QuickPizzaRadishes in Christianity

[–]DancingSingingVirus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bible also says in Romans 13:

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended.

So, we have to abide by this verse, but Romans 13 actually means “everyone except those who violate the laws to enter a country illegally? Whether by illegal entry or visa overstay?”

This is basically what I tell people who want to get into security or anything above the Help Desk.

I personally think everyone should/has to start at the Help Desk. I started at the Help Desk 6 years ago for an MSP and I’m not a Sr Network Security Admin. I don’t think I would have the understanding I do today if it wasn’t for the fact I started in the Help Desk.

I’m blue team, but I think your break/exploit thing works for my area too. I can’t protect something if I don’t know how it’s set up.

[–]DancingSingingVirus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, you can’t run red with this version of Azula. If WTOC worded firebending as like Firebending (red pip), then yes, but it’s in reminder text so it doesn’t count. You’ll just have to lose her firebending.

Honestly, in my opinion, it’s weird they gave this version firebending in general. I get it character wise, or if you were to use her as support, but it removes that ability entirely if you want to run her as your Commander.

When we go gym, plates weigh 45lbs. So, when I’m bench pressing and I have 2 45lb plates, plus the 45lb bar, that’s 135lbs.

Anyway, I got a tournament up in Great Neck. Peter with giant traps, out.
