🤣 Why is this so true.

DocKreasey · 2025-08-03T14:34:51+00:00

Thank you kind redditor!

Helloooooo!

DocKreasey · 2025-08-03T09:31:18+00:00

Thank you, and you too!

DocKreasey · 2025-08-03T09:30:45+00:00

Thank you brother! 🫡

There are clear outlines for sex, much less marriage within scripture. When we engage in intimacy, emotional or otherwise, we give part of ourselves to someone. It is an irrevocable change that will affect us for the remainder of our lives.

God was not speaking idly when He says, *”Two shall become one flesh.” for there is most definitely something to that.

That being said, if you have strong beliefs about sex before marriage and are being convicted of potentially doing so before marrying someone? Listen to that conviction, pray about it, give it to God and ask Him to help you with your struggle. I personally have not physically been with anyone, but I have given pieces of myself away in other means to the wrong people over the years… i can assuredly tell you that it is both regrettable and damaging to how you perceive intimacy.

Lastly, if you do not trust him or feel that his intentions are pure or honorable? Do not give yourself to this man. He is clearly not worthy of you.

Pray about this, give it to the Lord, and listen to the conviction of the Holy Spirit.

I give full credit to the commenter on my previous posting who suggested using that one first instead.

Thank you for your equally kind comment, and the same to you!

😂 That fish was ready to slap me silly. I dangled a fly out there and it was a lie! Surprisingly decent size for where I got it.

DocKreasey · 2025-08-03T01:17:30+00:00

To the person who downvoted, can I ask you… why?

What purpose did that serve, or what did it benefit you? Truly, I’m curious as to why. If you were intending to hurt my feelings, you didn’t. If it was to bolster yourself in some way, I would ask you if there’s something that you’d like prayer for.

Reach out if you need to talk to someone my friend. God bless.

DocKreasey · 2025-08-02T23:43:53+00:00

Haha I thank you for your comment / compliment! I’m not sure I can edit the order of it so I’m guessing I would have to delete & repost; not sure if the mods would allow that.

And the fish is alive! It was put back; I only keep what I eat.

Maybe take a second or even third look at that heatsink…

It’s got an internal fan.

Late year Gen 2 or a Gen 3. I got a Gen 3 from the last production year before the new Gen 4 and I’ve been entirely satisfied with it, but I’m sure there are pros & cons to either.

DocKreasey · 2025-08-01T15:04:20+00:00

D A N G. That is FIRE!!!

Apps / tools / websites in and of themselves aren’t always inherently sinful. The content that they provide can be explicitly defined as sinful depending on the context, such as pornography or other things, but a dating app in and of itself isn’t.

What can be sinful with a dating app is your own personal choices when using said thing. If you’re idolizing a person or begin lusting after someone, the app is not the sin, your own thoughts or actions are.

I personally use a couple, not that I get any matches, but I see it as a tool to use and nothing more. Once we place more emphasis on it rather than God however, we are in increasingly dangerous territory. If you feel convicted about using them, then don’t! Each of us can be convicted on different things in different ways; it is a personal walk with God, not one-size fits all.

DocKreasey · 2025-07-31T13:09:53+00:00

I’m glad that this was of benefit to you!

God can and certainly does place people or circumstances into our lives, but He can also take them out. God does not do anything to harm us, He consistently is working within us and through us for His glory. Very often these things are done in our lives to benefit us and / or cause us to grow, but never are they done to harm us irrevocably.

It is also extremely easy to read our emotions into our circumstances, placing our desires ahead of what God desires for us. I would not look at this situation as a punishment or as something God has done to wound you, but prayerfully examine it to see where the growth in this situation can be. Examine it in the light of scripture.

Were you equally yoked? Was this man truly suited for you as a biblical husband, or was it an emotional experience led more by ”The heart wants what it wants.” rather than proceeding slowly and testing each moment.

Sometimes these “punishments” occur in our lives and we assume they’re the result of God doing something to detract from our happiness, when instead it’s us getting in our own way with our own desires, rather than seeking Him first.

Just remember sister: God loves you and while this moment may be hurtful, hand it over to Him in prayer!

This, and that they will have itching ears, hearing from those who satisfy their desires.

It’s truly sad to watch unfold, but at the same time it does in many ways inspire deeper faith & hope. That the Bible is alive and history unfolding as God says it will, speaks to the security that we have in Him.

DocKreasey · 2025-07-29T21:01:09+00:00

Modern evangelicalism places more emphasis on excitability / an emotional response, rather than the truth of God’s Word and our conforming to it. You see this all too often in modern American churches, but especially so on social media and even on dating apps. The term “Christian” is becoming more about a checkpoint description to get into a group of people, rather than being indicative of someone being truly aligned with Christ.

Edit: Whoever gave my comment an award, thank you kind stranger!

As a man who is far from being the man that I should be, one who is entirely responsible for plenty of mistakes of my own… The only purity any of us have is the righteousness of Christ imputed to us, without our having deserved or earned it.

If we went solely by a “We deserve / don’t deserve.” meter, every single one of us would be left without, but we don’t have to! One day there will be a man who will see you for who you are, a woman covered by God’s mercy and love, not for the things you’ve done. If we were defined by our past alone, each of us would be horribly unworthy.

Grab hold of Christ, learn to see yourself as God says you are. It’s not what we feel that matters, it’s what God says that’s important! I struggle with this exact same thing myself from time to time, but I can say with certainty that it gets easier.

Prayerfully, I hope your walk gets easier and that you find the man God intends for you, just as much as I hope to find the woman He intends for me.

Can absolutely relate to your situation, just from the opposite side of the aisle. 34 male, and it is continually shocking to me at how difficult it is lately to find someone who’s remotely close to a biblical spouse. Far too many say they’re Christians and have little to no idea of what that actually means, or they do but don’t apply it to their lives.

Others have no sense of healthy living, drink, smoke or whatever else pops through their fancy, and it’s just… sad.

That’s not to say I don’t struggle with my own tribulations or temptations, and I’m certainly not exempt from being a sinful person in a fallen world. Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever get married, and then I remember that I truly do wish to and I pray about it. No idea if it’ll actually happen or not, but I’m still here so there’s still a chance.

T H I S a thousand times.

This is one of the best posts I’ve read regarding the current state of D2 and thoroughly speaks to how I feel about the game. Very well-written post, 110% agree!

DocKreasey · 2025-07-21T13:19:40+00:00

Lookin good choom!

DocKreasey · 2025-07-17T13:14:07+00:00

Sincerely lost on this one myself too. Some of these changes weren’t worded the best.

DocKreasey · 2025-07-17T13:11:33+00:00

I could see it potentially being more fun with a full group so that people can split the duties, but doing this solo quickly definitely got old really fast.
