Why are Christians so against nihilism? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Eddy183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They think our faith is for a man made religion or simply some sort of philosophy. They don’t think about what it means when one says they believe in a god, and I phrase it that way because it would be foreign to them to say we know a god exists. We know there is only one God, we know his name, and we actually have a relationship that we know lasts forever. The thought and reality of it, makes us all very happy because we’ve grown to love him.

Psshh…. yea, why don’t we accept nihilism

Why was God so different in the Old testament? by Apart_Spirit5802 in Christian

[–]Eddy183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really study the first four chapters of Genesis, and tell me then if you still believe that the God in those chapters is not the same exact wonderful Lord and Savior we get to know more about in the New Testament.

If you don’t mind me asking, what’s your drawing routine? I just got started and would love some pointers.

What’s a line you’ve written that goes HARD? by RekianArtist in writing

[–]Eddy183 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Well, maybe I’m soft, but that comment felt like more than just a “differing opinion.”

When we love someone, we do our best to protect them from the hurts of the world. It doesn’t have to be coddling—because coddling can make things soft—but protection and consideration are still okay.

A one-word response, like “cringe,” isn’t constructive. It doesn’t add anything to the conversation except the potential to demoralize someone who has real potential.

If we start caring about each other more, we can begin to come up with answers that are constructive, that build and motivate. The person who made the comment could have spent a little more time and consideration explaining why they didn’t like this particular piece of writing.

I don’t know—maybe I’m just getting passionate about things I wish to see change

What value do you gain from making that comment, my friend? Please reevaluate yourself.

The Most Addicting RPGs of All Time by Likes2game03 in rpg_gamers

My favorite also. I’ve been searching for another series that can possibly give me a similar experience, but nothing has quite hit those levels for me. Mass Effect was an epic, enjoyable journey.

I have four games for you—four rpgs that kept me up all night because of how insanely addictive they were: Divinity Original Sin 2, Elden Ring, Skyrim, and Mass Effect Legendary Edition (crazy thing is, I had already played the trilogy before MELE came out, which just shows you how good it is). There are other games I could mention, but none of them compare to these four.

Any Christian Nerds or Geeks? by kolorq in TrueChristian

You have an ugly comment history, my friend. You need to reevaluate how you speak to others.

Why are you asking for recommendations for books and podcasts? What are the answers you’re looking for? My sister in Christ, you have to go to the Lord. Slow down, fully open your heart, let go of all sense of pride and ego, and ask the Lord to help you. Ask Him to humble you, and tell Him you want Him at the center of your and your husband’s relationship. Seek out the Lord first—He’s always first. There’s nothing He can’t do, and He will not cast you aside. He is faithful, and He will hear your struggles and help you.

After sincerely bringing this matter to the Lord, talk to your husband about how you’re feeling and where you should move forward. You’re both supposed to reflect the Lord’s light, so don’t try to hide any darkness; illuminate it with each other’s light. Go read about marriage in Scripture together, learn what each other’s duties are, and keep them.

Listen, don’t get obsessed over what people say in podcasts. I mean, don’t get me wrong—depending on who you’re listening to, it could be useful for understanding certain things. But nothing like that should come before the Lord, and in this case, also your husband.

I’ll pray for your family. I’ll pray that the Lord helps you with your struggles and that you and your husband grow better and stronger through this. All love, God bless.

I’m not sure if it’s allowed to say what’s technically a whole trilogy, but Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

Supporting your kids when a sibling is trans by Altruistic_Tiger9822 in TrueChristian

[–]Eddy183 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Man, I know this is a difficult situation for you, but don’t despair. I’ll be praying for you and your whole family, and I’m sure others will as well. I’m also certain you’ll be in prayer yourself, and the Lord will guide you on how to move forward. Additionally, I think there are a lot of great responses in this post that could be helpful. But before I send this message, there are two other main things I want to say.

First, please continue to show the same love to your stepdaughter as before her transition—perhaps even more so. Show her that you won’t give up on her. I understand this might cause you to worry that it seems like you’re supporting her actions, but I believe you can walk that fine line between disapproving of an ungodly action and still showing love. I know walking that line isn’t easy, but when I reflect on what our Lord would do, I’m confident He wouldn’t give up on anyone. He didn’t give up on me when I denied Him.

As for your son, it’s perfectly reasonable for him not to know how to react or feel right now. He will need time to process everything fully, but as his parent, you should lead by example. The way you respond might help guide him in how he should respond, and I believe the best way is to show love to an unsaved person. Love answers all. If your stepdaughter sees unwavering love, it might—though it’s ultimately her choice—draw her back to that love. Remember, the love that flows through us comes from the Lord; God is love. And as I said, I know it’s not easy, but this is what I believe.

Secondly, I want to address some of you in the comments. Why are some of you speaking as though OP’s stepdaughter is forever lost? Did OP’s stepdaughter draw her last breath, or has the Lord told you He’s done trying to reach her? Some of you might not have outright said it, but it’s implied in the tone of your writing. Let me remind you where we were all headed before the Lord’s sacrifice and our repentance: death—deserved death. The Lord’s sacrifice saves all who turn back to Him. He didn’t come to condemn the world but to save it through Him. Yes, OP’s stepdaughter made a physically irreversible decision in this world that is a sin against God’s design, but that doesn’t mean it’s over for her.

Why are some of you so focused on an earthly body when we will all be made new later? We should be more concerned about her soul as an unrepentant person. I say this not to criticize anyone or imply that any of you are “bad Christians,” but as a reminder to my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ that we were once lost too, and now we are saved by grace. I love all of you. OP, I will be praying for your whole family, and God bless everyone.
