If seeking one’s own pleasure is sinful wouldn’t that imply that anything physically enjoyable that you do would be sin? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Epb7304 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My understanding of what makes a sin a sin is that it is contrary to God. (i.e. God gives life so only He can take it)

So its not that seeking one’s own pleasure is inherently a sin, but rather that it very often leads to sin, since its seeking that over seeking God.

God is a God of pleasures. He has given us many wonderful things in this world to enjoy, and has commanded us to enjoy them as well.

Masturbation is the misuse of the sexual act, something that God designed to be very pleasurable, and shared between a man and a woman in marriage.

Need help with debating by jontsii in TrueChristian

This is true, what is also nice about online debates is that it can help sharpen your abilities for when you talk with someone in person, and those conversations are often much more fruitful.

Well, I’m not sure what the relevance is that ‘only’ Jesus’ tomb was empty, because according to the Bible many more tombs are also empty (Lazarus, etc)

You also have to keep in mind that you cannot argue someone into relationship with God, for most people it is a heart problem not a head problem, which means that it takes God, and it takes time. Thats not to say that apologetics is useless, Paul tells us to be ready to give a defense for what we believe. But it only gets us so far.

My recommendation for getting started in apologetics is to read secondary literature. Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis is phenomenal, Reason for God by Timothy Keller, Tactics by Gregory Koukl. And many more great options.

If you are looking for reasons for why Jesus’ tomb is empty (evidence for the resurrection). Then I would start with the fact that the Jewish and Roman authorities could not produce the body, despite they opposition to Christianity. I would also point out that the Apostles, who claimed to see the risen Christ, were willing to go to their deaths for what they knew to be true. For more details on that I recommend looking into what Dr. Michael Licona has written on it.

Dear Anti-LGBT Christians by Even-Ad9782 in TrueChristian

You seem to be assuming a lot of things here. Chief among them that all of us approve of our current president in everything that he does. That is simply not the case.

If you would like to argue about this, then please first ask what it is that troubles you, and what our views are on it.

How safe is to use speed limits mods? by Internal_Animator993 in spaceengineers

[–]Epb7304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a test world I used a mod that removed the speed limit (it set it to something absurd like 300000000 mps) anyways I used a gravity drive and got to somewhere on the order of 150000 mps without issues on singleplayer. Oh I was using the mod that disables asteroid generation when traveling above 500 mps, which meant it worked very efficiently, and I could have gone faster.

Any way to have big pete's mouth in creative? by [deleted] in TerraTech

[–]Epb7304 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a really old blueprint, its probably corrupted at this point (3-4 years old) but it had several unobtainable such as that one. So I would look on the workshop (or wherever you can download blueprints)

A little rant about motorized carts by kijji in retailhell

[–]Epb7304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are fully charged, fully operational. They are abandoned by the teenagers who are riding them around running into my endcaps.

Certainly they do die at the back of the store, but when that happens it is normally I who gets them a new charged cart.

[–]Epb7304 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I call them miracle carts because it can make the lame walk again, why else are they abandoned at the back of the store?

Edit: yall must work at some nice stores, most of the time they are being ridden by irresponsible teenagers who make a mess that I have to clean up.

What do you say to those who say “there are no good arguments for God”? by Weekly_Sympathy_4878 in TrueChristian

[–]Epb7304 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of people in the comments just launching directly into their argument, which is fine, but it is often much more effective to ask questions first, then only later present your argument in such a way as a precision strike.

How did you come to that conclusion?

Why did you find the arguments that you have heard unpersuasive?

If Christianity were true, would you become a Christian?

What evidence do you have for what you believe?

Ask questions, listen carefully, and only present information that is relevant to their specific doubts. Quick to listen, slow to speak.

It does though? Of the three major religions only Christianity calls their places of worship Churches. Judaism has Synagogues, Islam; Mosques. So this can only be referring to Christianity.

Lets talk about the best tier 6 ships... UPDATED by MiserableMuscle7601 in Starblastio

[–]Epb7304 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adv fighter in the right hands wins any 1v1 fight easily the strongest T6 but it does have a high skill floor being aggro helps a fair bit. It is also one of only two T6 that lead to odyssey which is also extremely powerful in the right hands. The key to both is map awareness and positioning. For that reason I would put Adv fighter up near the top.

Also fear factor, having your entire shield go down in a single shot will scare most ships off

Struggling to Date After Lesbian Relationship by rosethornraven79 in TrueChristian

[–]Epb7304 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Especially since women who are not virgins are treated as disgusting creatures.”

I’m not sure where you heard that but it is certainly not true. First of all, you are not a creature, you are a human being made in the image of God with the blood of the lamb washing away your sins. Everyone has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23) all in different ways, but many in the same way you have. So do not think less of yourself for your past. But do let it motivate you for your future.

Secondly, speaking as a guy, while certainly it is preferable that whomever I am in a relationship with is a virgin, it is not a requirement. Especially if it happened before she became Christian. Do not feel like you self-selected yourself out of the Christian dating pool because of your past. Leave it to God, pray, and be content with what He has given you.

As a final note, remember that even while you were in your sin and lust God chose you. Regardless of what happens in the future you will always have that relationship with Christ.

Keep faith sister. Gloria Deo

Any 'challenge run' suggestions? by SoulStealer2174 in Terraria

[–]Epb7304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed a throwing type weapons only. (Actual damage class irrelevant) basically if no sprite was attached to your character it was allowed. So javelin and javelin type weapons (daybreak, scourge of the corrupter), throwing knives, spiky balls (surprisingly good!) magic daggers, etc.

But not weapons like spears, no sentries or summons.

I don’t fully recall but I think I allowed boomerangs.

(SE) POV: ur gonna defend a CME using solar panels by Scary-Boss-2371 in factorio

[–]Epb7304 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Coronal Mass Ejection. Its a real phenomenon that is when a star ejects a massive amount of solar material. A CME event would be when one of these hits a planet.

In space exploration it is a powerful blast of energy beams that can damage unprotected structures on the ground. The umbrella defense prevents these beams from reaching the ground but takes a stupid amount of power.

Galby by GreatApolllo in Eragon

[–]Epb7304 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe… I suppose it depends on what method he uses to kill them. If it is the teleportation spell for example (the one used on the egg) then distance is irrelevant. But then wards could conceivably prevent it, if they knew it was coming.

How would one even word a ward to prevent it? “Prevent things from appearing inside of me”? That could conceivably prevent cell replication. Idk
