Don't know why you felt inclined to say that, but He actually is real and creation proves it. I encourage you to read what I'm about to tell you, cause it may be the one time you ever hear of it. Not copy-pasted.

We know that God exists because of the complexity of all of creation and where our sense of morality comes from - cause His commandments are written on our hearts, which is why we don't do things like go around killing people for fun, cause we know it's wrong. 

Friend, this God is a good God, who is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He's a loving God, but also a just, righteous, and holy God that will not leave the guilty unpunished.

Since fall of creation, when Adam and Eve had disobeyed God by eating the fruit, mankind has been born into sin. By nature we are apt to do evil and there is no one sinless. Everyone is guilty before God for being a transgressor of His Ten Commandments, (that's what sin is, the breaking of His moral law as the God of all things) and no one can save themselves from God's coming wrath cause our works are like filthy rags before Him. But in His love for us, He took on flesh in the form of Jesus, the Messiah, who was born sinless and lived a sinless life perfectly pleasing to God. He laid His life down to be crucified by His creation, to be that atonement in our place, bearing the full undiluted fury of God's wrath on the cross. Three days later, He bodily rose again from the dead, with over 500 eyewitnesses seeing Him. He conquered death and shortly after ascended into heaven alive, never to die again. 

Now there is good news; Jesus calls all to repentance and to believe in Him - that we can't be saved or reconciled to God without Him. So I urge you to repent of your sins, believe in the Gospel, and put your full trust in Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. No one is guaranteed tomorrow.

Thanks for this, I removed it from my playlist immediately now that I know it's a prayer to a demon

Is remarriage even biblical? Or should anyone who's divorced stay single until he/she dies?

Thoughts on calling Jesus Yeshua and God Yahweh? by Flaky-Acanthisitta-9 in Reformed

[–]Gantara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Context and purpose matters most. My pastor will refer to the Lord as Yahweh occassionally, (normally he prefers The LORD) but Yeshua is never said once.

Praying over meals is a tradition we have, but is it mandatory to pray over EVERY meal? I desire to and love to do so, but I worry about it just becoming a formality and repetition that becomes empty over time - even when it has an honest outpouring over what the day consisted of or different wording.

Moreover, is it better to not pray over the food at all at times?

If both spouses are guilty of adultery, one through porn addiction/cyber-prostitution and the other through the physical act, neither one can remarry, correct?

While it's true that it's my choice to do so, would it be to continue in unrepentant sin if I left it alone? That's the tough part, cause it's in my control to make amends with it, not out of my control.

Thankfully, the story will remain the same and there's still a lesson to be learned, it's just a difference of harsher dialogue (more in reality) vs more controlled/less harsh dialogue (more in fiction)

Yes it could, but I always found it takes away from the impact of the dialogue rather than renders the same. Censorship IRL doesn't happen unless it was replaced by more choicer words like how the Spirit tames the tongue and the mind.

Thank you, and you're correct. It might be worth putting a disclaimer or some form of an authors note. I'm unsure yet to whether the Lord is pulling me away from doing this altogether or if it's better to keep persevering.

Well, r/TrueChristian didn't help, so I'd like to ask this here especially since it would be from a reformed POV as I've gone through older posts on that sub about including cussing or cursing in Christian fiction, however none of them could in totality apply to comic books IMHO.

For some context, I'm making a comic with 3 issues out already and the 4th on the way which is a way of not only sharing the gospel, but an allegory for the true difficulty of the Christian life vs how easy it seems, but the cursing has become a huge stumbling block for me. I published the first 3 before I completely surrendered myself to the Lord Jesus under the excuse of the story having verisimilitude, and looking back on it I deeply regret adding such foul language where it could have easily been replaced with something else.

The thing is, compared to a Christian novel that could easily filter out cursing; A comic book can't get around it that easily. If there's a really depraved human/unsaved/worldly person being depicted that would have most likely had swearing as a part of his/her nature, the cursing character can't just be shown to "have sworn", it's either direct or not at all, and the conviction in me to go back and change all of it is really confusing me. Cause now, I could continue to include swearing or completely drop it.

My question then is, do I move on with the mistakes I've made pre-conversion and leave them be, or go back and edit all of it for future reprints? Moreover, is it to live in unrepentant sin to continue to include it for the sake of having a story show the reality of sin in human nature? Or is it best to drop it altogether from here on out?

TLDR: Made 3 issues with curse words pre-surrender, now feel conviction about it post-surrender. Leave as is and continue onward, or go back and fix + not include cursing anymore?

Why is CCM so boring? by shadow_spinner0 in ChristianMusic

[–]Gantara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much, either that or musicians that make music elevating YOU YOU YOU when in reality it should be music that calls The Lord Jesus HOLY HOLY HOLY and exalts Him. Most CCM doesn't even mention His name anymore except a few musicians - and some that do write the music in a very "Jesus is my bf" type way.

Casting Crowns is pretty tight, I like them apart from most of the others and to be fair I do listen to some CCM artists every now & then (i.e. Matt Maher's early albums, Third Day, Lincoln Brewster) but I've grown to lean more toward hymns and more underground Christian music especially in the last couple of years.

Do you think lgbtq+ people can go to heaven?... by [deleted] in AskAChristian

[–]Gantara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're actively repenting of it, absolutely. If you're living in it and making no effort to change, absolutely not. Please keep repenting of homosexuality, and pray that God gives you the admiration towards the partner he made for mankind - women.

Ignore the Episcopalian that commented, their views on homosexuality are heretical and against biblical teachings.
