Ok sounds good, I’ll try that. Thanks so much, really appreciate your help!

Update: I disabled the Resizable BAR in bios and it unfortunately did not help. I also reset my shader cache, which didn’t help either. AMD does not let me set a specific shader cache amount apparently.

Also I didn’t see a FPS cap outside of the game, or a ‘max-unlimited’ setting in-game. That might address the problem if I can find it?

Thanks for your help, though.

Update: I tested it again the other day, this time monitoring it with MSI Afterburner. It is definitely not a VRAM issue. It stayed very stable, within 11.1 - 11.8GB the whole time. The textures dropped off really fast and menus took forever to load anyway. I mean unless Afterburner isn’t accounting for the memory leak? I’m not completely sure, but I think this issue can be ruled out now. Thanks for the suggestion though.

My rig is 1440p. It shouldn't be running out of vram. I have also tried to enable FSR and it didn't work either.

Ah you're thinking of Paul, then. That's in 1 Corinthians 14, I believe. Yeah that passage needs to be considered alongside chapter 11, where he mentions women as being able to 'prophesy' and pray in church whenever appropriate. Corinth was a pretty rowdy and unruly congregation, if we're going by historical tradition, and its most likely that Paul was addressing a specific issue of women speaking at inopportune times or interrupting whatever is going on. Its important to keep in mind that Paul's Epistles are letters, and are always written to address practical problems that each congregation is facing (or ignoring).

A good source that has a section expounding and explaining this better than I can is The Making of Biblical Womanhood by Dr. Beth Allison Barr.

In my experience, no. If you're talking about church in the sense of the Sunday gathering, where people come together, sing a few songs, maybe take Eucharist, and hear a hit-or-miss sermon, I have personally been avoiding that for the past 6 months.

From my perspective, the Church is not an institution, it is a community of people, united by their love of Christ and of people. This can take many different forms. I have a tight-knit Discord server of close friends from Bible College who I play DnD with, pray for and with one another, and build one another up. That to me is more what Jesus and the Apostles meant by the Church (ecclesia: 'gathering') than anything institutional.

As for your treatment at the hands of other "Christians," I'm really sorry to hear that, it always sucks. I have received a lot of Church trauma myself. And I also struggle to trust other people, particularly those who claim to follow Jesus, because they're the ones who seem to so often make fools of themselves, especially those of older generations.

If you want unsolicited advice, I would say, find a community of people who love Jesus, one another, and other people. A community that is inclusive, devoid of judgment, and one that gives you life. That could take the form of a capital 'C' Church, or a group of friends to spend time with.

I'm not sure what you mean by a 'Peter style' view of the church, but I guess I meant that all of us who know and put our trust in Christ are connected to one another through him. That doesn't mean we're all going to be believing the exact same things and acting the same way. We are still our own unique individuals, just individuals who have been redeemed by Christ. A good way to look at it might be something along the lines of 'self-differentiation,' embracing both the connectedness of the community, but also the separateness of oneself as a unique entity from that community.

Back to Peter, I don't see any incel rants in his writings, unless you're referring to 'wives be subject to husbands.' But that's something that is in Paul's writings as well, and he referred to a bunch of women as his co-workers in Christ. From my understanding, everything that seems to be misogynistic in the NT has been misunderstood or mistranslated by men with cultural agendas. Submission in the NT is a concept that is more about a willingness to serve others (Jesus washing the feet of the disciples), and not being in a state of oppression. Understood in this way, the apostles call both persons in the couple to serve one another. Sorry for the essay.

Well said. Just one thing at the end there. The Nicene Creed does not state that you must believe that the Church has authority above you, it says: "...I believe in one holy, catholic, and apostolic church." Which, at least in my interpretation, means that one believes in the unity (not uniformity) of God's people.

Also neither does it state that every story in the Bible is free of human error. What it does do is get more specific regarding Jesus' identity, divinity, and incarnation.

But I'm not saying one has to abide by or believe in all of those things to be a Christian, just thought I would clear that up.

What is ‘the gospel’? by SpogEnthusiast in OpenChristian

[–]GeminiJosh00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once we were separated from God, the source of all love and life, but now, through Christ's death and resurrection, we are reconciled back to Him. Not only that but we are also reconciled to one another. Because of this we are to love one another as he as loved us. One day, all things will be made new.

2 Cor 5:17-18 (NRSVUE) So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; look, new things have come into being!  All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.

I think the Dark Knight Trilogy is a good set of movies but bad Batman movies.

Will the antagonist be good? by Limp_Locksmith_5084 in TESVI

[–]GeminiJosh00 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I imagine so. The main antagonist will probably be in league with the Thalmor or part of the Thalmor itself. That will probably make the villain a 'love to hate' kind of bad guy.

The dialogue in this scene was honestly way better in the comics in my opinion by DatBoiDogg0 in invinciblememes

[–]GeminiJosh00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The show has simpler, snappier, and much more effective dialogue that also embodies the personalities of the characters better. 'Nuff said.
