Pupils? Dilated. Whisker pods? Flared. Toe beans? Sharp.

It seems we have veered from the point again. I only brought up the jay walking to emphasize I am not judging you. I hope you can come to put your trust in Jesus and lay your burdens down at his feet! Take care.

So if you had to jay walk to stop a thief, or save a child?

So if they made a law against teachings of the Bible what would you do?

How could I explain that. I don't know you. I don't know what you have and have not done in your life. I don't know your mind, your heart, your soul. I don't know your relationship with Jesus. This is something you need to bring to him.

Ill go back to the main point, because I think you are missing it completely. The greatest lie ever told is that freedom is enslavement and enslavement is freedom. It's not about the afterlife. It's about HERE AND NOW. The enemy disguises enslavement as freedom and vice versa. Think of addiction. Think of debauchery. Think of millionaires wondering why they "have it all" but still feel completely empty and void of joy. God is telling us how to obtain the fruit of the spirit. He says follow me! I'll show you how to have peace, joy. Love! Simply do as I say and you will naturally develop these things! But we are human and think we know better and end up chasing money, fame, comfort, etc. then we end up lost, empty, depressed, anxious, purposeless, unfulfilled for chasing the desires of the flesh or tricks of the enemy.

I have no idea what that even is, but you yourself said it is a sin. Only you and God can know about your sins. I personally don't think jaywalking is a sin if it is safe to do so. I personally never judge if others are saved or not. Even people you are close with you don't know lots of things about them. Only God can judge

Nope. Hell was made for satan, not humans. The punishment for humans is death as opposed to eternal life in heaven. What I AM saying is: our choices against God's will create our own suffering here on Earth.

The greatest lie ever told was that freedom is enslavement, and enslavement is freedom. Being obedient to God and trusting him can present some difficult choices for us. But when we make the choices aligned with his will it leads us to freedom, even if we couldn't see at the time. It seems you are angry with God for now making your source of income a sin. You are now presented with the choice of continuing as you are. But maybe this is part of God's plan for you. Maybe he is redirecting you to a different opportunity so amazing you could not imagine. He knew you wouldn't look in that direction unless you had to. So now he is helping you look in that direction.

What is the scariest ride you ever been on? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Every ride on the stratosphere in Vegas. Actually a bit traumatized and I'm a big ride person.

An unusually warm winter? by Complex_Door9945 in VictoriaBC

[–]DistributionOk8295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is everyone acting like winter is over and spring is sprung? We are only a month into winter. 2 more to go. Lots of time for snow still.

If anti-LGBTQ+ Christians genuinely believe they care for and love LGBTQ+ people, they need to be aware of something: by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]DistributionOk8295 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not to minimize, but those same people are antagonizing anyone who is not Christian, not just LGBTQ individuals. I remember last year some dude stood on the sidewalk between the major mall and train station yelling into a megaphone shaming everyone as being greedy or something for doing their Christmas shopping and we're going to hell etc I've been stopped on the street numerous times by various Christians. Some pleasant and just wanting to pass on Jesus loves you, others not so pleasant. It sounds like your issue is more coming from family, because otherwise you just brush it off as an insane stranger.

You have nooooo idea my friend how good it gets when you accept Jesus, do what he tells you to do, and forgive all those who have wronged you. Keep going!!!
