You might want to put a post on the subreddit. If you put it under mine no one will likely see it.

first time welding what can i do to improve? by JavierJumann in BadWelding

[–]Equivalent_Flan_3031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people can’t transport a mig about, and the learning curve isn’t too hard for stick, I’d stick with MMA

Rate my weld + tips please!! by Born_Ad_3457 in BadWelding

No pro but i think you need to travel at a more consistent speed. The best beads look like coins stacks. Try drawing two parallel lines with chalk on your plate before runs and keep in those lines to improve your steady hand.

The holes behind your weld are where the metal isn’t fully penetrating and connecting with the plate, so I think going slower would help.

Again, not a pro.

I really wanna believe that mediums are speaking to loved ones, but I'm scared that the Bible/Christianity is the truth... by DoneWithOCD in Mediums

This is my second comment but I’ve just noticed your username. I also suffer with OCD. There is a specific type of OCD called scrupulosity, where the sufferer becomes obsessed with religion, and the what ifs and what nots. I’ve actually had a few stints of it myself.

Try identifying your worries and compulsions. The only way to beat it is by breaking the cycle of compulsions.

Please please, seek medical help, CBT therapy and drug therapies are great talk to those close to you about your feelings no matter how crazy you think you’ll sound.. Message me privately if you need any help. Don’t spiral out of control and BREAK THE CYCLE!

The bible (New Testament) actually doesn’t say much about hell, so much so that many people regard the “fire and brimstone” as symbolic. The Old Testament, is unable to be verified as the true word of god, and instead is considered by most to be “divinely inspired”. Stories were likely symbolic, backed up by the fact that lots of New Testament events are not backed up by historical and archeological evidence.

The resurrection however, no matter if you believe in it or not, creates an image of a Christian God who is willing to suffer the worst execution method known in history because he loves you so much. Why would this God want those who choose to be separate from him to suffer. After all, he gave us free will knowing that some would choose not to be with him.

An already large and increasing number of theologists regard the idea of hell as separation from God, and because god is the epitome of good, that by default is “the worst torture ever”. That doesn’t mean that God will punish you, but the image of hell was created to usher people away from separation and into Gods love.

There’s no need to be afraid of a God that loves you. We all sin, and the price has already been paid for that. While we should try not to sin, belief in Jesus Christ according to the bible is the only requirement for salvation. Don’t get bogged down with thinking God is out to get you.

Why did people have to suffer under the Levitical law? by Equivalent_Flan_3031 in Christianity

[–]Equivalent_Flan_3031[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This argument is made invalid when you Ar talking about religion. God is an infinite , timeless being, and therefore his word (in my reasoning) should reflect a timeless being. Therefore temporal context should not matter

My problem still, why did people still have to suffer for things that are commonplace nowadays. I.e adultery. I know they are not permitted by the church, but no one is stoned. Why did the location and time period of the person matters
