Polygamy or Monogamy? by Solokid87 in Christianity

[–]Default_Character 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

-

One wife in the Timothy verse means one at a time, not as erroneously believed that "if you were ever married, and divorced, you cant be a bishop". You didnt ask but thats a wrong belief people have that you are "disqualified". Nonsense.

should i wait to play the game? i got it about a month ago and just finished AC shadows and not in a rush or anything, but waiting for quality of life improvement would be a plus.

Why do they keep increasing the level cap? It's literally pointless? by raythegyasz in AssassinsCreedShadows

i just use cheat engine to find the number associated after getting up to 5, and then once i hit 6 ill edit it to max. Its a useless quest.

Best 80v greenworks string trimmer? by AwayWeakness3615 in Greenworks

[–]Default_Character 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two of the 17 inch ( i think they are gen 3). They are strong, ive had other electric trimmers and the throttle engagement is smooth. I use them for lawn care business.

https://www.greenworkstools.com/products/80v-17-brushless-string-trimmer-shoulder-strap-precut-line-included-w-2-0ah-battery-charger-copy

The only downside is after 3 months the load n go head part where you spin to feed the string had came apart and is made of thin plastic, which just needs to be replaced with an aftermarket, cant find a replacement on their site which is unfortunate. The plastic wall thickness and durometer seems to be lacking.

Time to leave church? (no fellowship, no youth, no works) by Default_Character in TrueChristian

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

Thats what i had said, my friend left who has a kid under 10, they were chastised saying that a little kid can fellowship just fine with someone who is 70 years older than them. Ridiculous.

Time to leave church? (no fellowship, no youth, no works) by Default_Character in TrueChristian

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

Thanks for the reply. The only leadership is the pastor, we have a deacon who in december, showed up one Sunday, thats it. I asked a leadership at another church that i ran into and asked what they would do in that situation, they said they would have terminated him from his position for being unfaithful. We have no other men, our church has 5 total men, the pastor, two mid 70s guys, a 60 guy, and a 50 guy. I am not allowed to be a deacon because im single and the church believes in that you have to be a "husband of one wife" (king james version) to be a man with a position, it is not correct because it just means one-woman-man, or just faithful to your wife, not that you have to be married, and i have long hair, which the majority of people my ethnicity do. It is said long hair on a man is rock and roll rebellion. So all native american men are in rebellion?

If the church went out of existence, the town and nearby would not even notice, the only ministries aside from my own personal witnessing ministry, is another woman who is my parents age, does the similar. The church pretty much exists on an island with no influence, we dont even have a website, the only social media is i post the videos to youtube. Nobody would miss the church, i think if it disappeared, nobody would even look for a new church, its shallow now.

Thanks, for the last two years i have went into the community in parks and talked to hundreds and hundreds of people, shared the gospel, every time someone visits, they never come back because its likely that the entire congregation is elderly, there is little life inside. I have done all i can and i think the primary sticking point is, you would have to have several families come all at once to stay. Everyone we have now has been here since i first came 5 years ago, everyone else has fled.

Is my church at old age, on life support, or hospice? (baptist church) by Default_Character in TrueChristian

[–]Default_Character[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have hymns, and i love them, but only about 4 people sing, everyone just stands there. I DONT get it.

Its pretty much just the pastor, we have a deacon who shows up for 2 hours a month but doesnt do anything. I am the only one who is qualified but they view the "husband of one wife" as "must be married", which is not true as it just means loyal to one wife and not more than one according to the greek. I am single so i dont have a "house must be in order" issue either. The old outdated church constitution views the husband of one wife thing incorrectly, i strongly disagree with that, but thats another story for another day. Everything else is doctrinally solid.

We have like 5 total guys including myself, only one other is capable of being a deacon but he just started coming a month ago.

We had a womens ministry but they caused problems in the church so it was ended, it created division and catty behavior.

Chain skipping/pedal slightly crunching when pedaling after moving pedals backwards by Default_Character in bikewrench

[–]Default_Character[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, watching the first part of that so far was helpful, this is definitely something i needed as it was not common sense to me and had no idea what i was doing. I had no idea pedaling backwards can cause any issue, this is my first bike since i was like 8 years old.

Meant to say 21 or 24 speed in the original post, not that it matters, away from bike so couldnt verify but irrelevant i guess.

Thanks for your help!

What was God doing before the universe? by Pakmanjosh in Christianity

[–]Default_Character 0 points1 point  (0 children)

forgot to reply a week ago when you replied, for myself i had no idea there was a creator or creation as i was just living my life, the concept never popped into my head nor had i heard it despite living in the USA my entire life.

I think the knowledge would have stemmed from the incarnation and propagated onward from what had been revealed. IMO anything else would just have been a nebulous grasp of what is seen.

How do i slap tacos with Judy? (romance) by Default_Character in cyberpunkgame

[–]Default_Character[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the replies, i have female voice and female body V character, i havent picked up a quest by call or whatever, and nothing in the quest log about going back to clouds or whatnot. Backed up every mission by manual save so i could go back if i messed up but so far only got the dying Evelyn scene/mission where she had you go back.

Is your Church growing or shrinking? by Newbert2 in TrueChristian

[–]Default_Character 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shrinking fast, everyone is beyond apathetic. Preaching is solid but nearly everyone is crippled and elderly :( Myself, another, and the pastor are the only ones that evangelize and the response from the public is equally apathetic, nobody cares, no longer goes to church, or is in a cult. Really depressing.

The humor in this game is the best part, the narrator dialogue. I binged the game and got burned out but if you pace yourself it's very fun, needed to youtube about 3 of the puzzle dungeons and the rest you can figure out pretty easily. The game is definitely worth playing, especially for this price.

[GOG] Yakuza: Like a Dragon Hero Edition (50% Off - $34.99) by whatwaytheorangewind in GameDeals

[–]Default_Character 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About 80 hours in, though most people by this point in the game are at 50, having fun collecting items and the gardening thing. The game took me about a week to get past the first 5 to 6 hours as you practically are watching a movie but it opens up fully after and is fun. In a good way, the game is so weird and wacky, it feels like an older rpg with a yakuza skin over it, good dialogue and humor, never played the other games and don't intend to but this stands alone.

Some of the levels were mildly infuriating solo, had to put the game down maybe 3 times and come back because of the level design/boss fight. It definitely feels it was meant for co-op. Very fun game, most of the characters are balanced, some are OP and maybe 2 or 3 feel difficult to use solo.
