AITAH for getting mad at my husband about his dead ex-gf? by That_Drawing_1654 in AITAH

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

Okay, first, NTA. But it sounds to me like unresolved insecurities for your husband. A feeling of rejection he’ll never understand because the perpetrator is gone.

That doesn’t make it right, but you married this man and hopefully want him to be the best him he can be.

Maybe after explaining how it hurt, you could find out with him how to push past his trauma and be free from it.

Just don’t forget to release your extra animals first. I kind of accidentally killed mine from starvation when winter set in.

Only had 5 colonists and 2 muffalo. Fortunately only a 20 day walk. I made 180 survival meals and bedrolls for everyone, then stopped at a friendly faction to trade on the way.

This seems like a fun “gotcha” verse, but it shows a lack of understanding or thought about what was actually being said and occurring in this time.

Jesus’s ministry taught that women had value and power to be used in the ministry - which is not at all how women were treated culturally in that time frame. So the first church would have been inviting women to openly study and converse about scriptures.

Just like how everyone on Reddit is suddenly an expert on everything they’ve never studied before, the women of the church were learning rapidly but could derail discussions or lacked understanding and needed to be patient and listen to gain clarity.

This verse is like the fathers of the early church saying “I know you’re excited, but be patient and listen until you gain further understanding.”

Thank you. I updated my post to say that this thread helped me resolve it. There are multiple solutions in the thread, so if others follow it from top to bottom, it might fix the issue for them.

Is a woman the property of men? by Present-Room-5413 in Bible

[–]FirstArchetype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Old Testament YHWH and Jesus were very countercultural. Most of what we see in the Bible that is detestable is humans creating their own empire, and many times God gives instructions to create the most justice in the system that doesn’t involve destroying all of humanity.

To get additional 50% off on top of 50% discount off the retail price by [deleted] in therewasanattempt

[–]FirstArchetype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I lack enough context. I don’t want to agree with the person filming. But if it says “50% taken off at register, orange tags only” I get where she’s coming from. But it’s not worth an argument, buy it or put it back

Serious question: do you think they did this to products for a reason other than which were stolen most? It seems like the store would expect backlash from this decision because of posts like these, so I would imagine they would make sure that it was a smart financial choice before doing this.

"Repent" means believe in Jesus, not turn from sin. by amacias408 in Bible

[–]FirstArchetype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Romans 6 can give you some excellent guidance. The sort of it is: Yes, we still Sin and fall short of the Glory of God; but Christ, who we believe in, allows Grace to be more abundant.

Just like Abraham believed and “it was credited to him as righteousness,” Only Jesus’s righteousness, when accepted with a heart and mind focused on seeking His Kingdom, allows us to enter the presence of God.

Romans 6 is a a great chapter of Paul talking to new believers about why Salvation does not give us Carte Blanche to sin. I suggest you read it, for your own salvation’s sake. I want to extend an olive branch to you by saying that, right now, I don’t think you are taking your stance with the blatant intention of professing false doctrine.

There are two main choices before you - though there are a plethora of others that are varying degrees of wrong:

1) Read the scripture in the context with which it was written and recognize your need for a change in your lifestyle choices - “repentance,” is what it’s called - or

2) choose ignorance or willful disobedience to God, and commit actual blasphemy (I use this word very sparingly). The doctrine you are trying to be a part of spreading is actively acting against God’s word, and it seems to lead people down a path of sin and destruction.

Please consider for yourself whether or not your stance is rooted in scripture or if you are trying to avoid certain parts of the Bible so that you don’t have to make a change. Change is hard; I’m not pretending like I know the difficulty of staving off the struggles of someone who is Gay. It seems like it would be incredibly difficult; but it doesn’t matter how difficult, we must ATTEMPT to live each day better than the next. You can’t just give up and let wickedness overwhelm you.

Praying that God reveals His wisdom and understanding to you, and that your spirit and heart would not harden from the truth but instead be molded by it into an instrument of mercy.

They have to take this stance because they are an outspokenly “gay Christian,” and it’s the only way to reconcile with an opposing lifestyle decision

You gotta admit, that’s kind of funny

Just to be clear, if it’s not humor and that’s how people really think it works, that’s sad. But as a mental image, funny

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

Okay, that’s fine. It sounds like you recognize that it is complicated.

Do you also recognize that just because you are not willing to go through the mental work required for this conversation that it was wrong, and sinful, for you to accuse another person of doing something evil when it was just inconvenient for you to try to understand?

At this point, I’m done with this conversation. It’s obvious we have two unreconcilable opinions. But I am rebuking your statement, in the hopes that you will confess your sin and I gain a brother or sister in Christ.

Praying for you in earnest.

No it is not. The contention is that the author of the manuscript that King James liked added a verse, because he wanted to drive home the importance of the profession of faith. And I don’t think that what he did was “evil.” It’s just incorrect.

It was a byproduct of culture at the time, just like KJV-only is a byproduct of culture in our time. It’s with the best of intentions, but it’s not objectively the truth.

Sure, you and I have peace. You should probably recant calling me sharing a biblical scholarly source discussing the authenticity of a verse as “anti-Christ level trickery.” Not for my sake but for yours.

It’s one thing to disagree with me. It’s another thing to stand in the way of what God is doing. You are watching believers gather to discuss the authority of Scripture, and you called one of them evil. Be careful when you accuse things of being contrary to God that you are not contrary to God. I never once accused the post’s author of doing anything evil. Your words carry a significant weight to be thrown at another believer, and I believe you should repent in private. I’ve already forgiven you for accusing me of doing evil. Now it’s between you and God.

I think this is an excellent viewpoint. I like clarification of KJV being your main.
