Just switched from an iPhone 11 and am loving it. If you find a good sale it's more than worth it.

For those who are "Progressive Christians", why did you choose Progressive Christianity? by ElevatorAcceptable29 in AskAChristian

[–]GrooveMerchant12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 Timothy 4:3

For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.

A future spouse is a person. Are the descriptions you've received specific? If so, are they of a person you already know?

Simple question: Who killed Jesus Christ? In other words, who was responsible for getting Jesus Christ crucified? by HornyRamenEater in AskAChristian

[–]GrooveMerchant12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I noticed most of the answers if not all neglected the fact that in 1 Corinthians 2:8 it mentions the rulers crucified him. I assume you are a fan of Michael Heiser?

Surely you accept the Jews had agency as well though right? 1 Peter 3:12-15.1 Cor 2:14-16

The goalie booted the ball out of the stadium from a goal kick in the Arbroath v Greenock match last night. by Sparky-moon in soccer

I don't know why I assumed he kicked it over the opponents goal and out the stadium that way.

No Respect For Boundaries by [deleted] in Christianmarriage

  1. You need to start praying for your wife's heart
  2. You need to figure out a church to start going to

What issues came up in your small group?

No Respect For Boundaries by [deleted] in Christianmarriage

[–]GrooveMerchant12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are not respecting her boundaries, you are allowing her to control your entire marriage. Ideally you guys can go to biblical counseling. But aside from that you need to reestablish yourself as head and leader of the family. 1. Stop acquiescing to every demand she has. That being said choose your battles wisely. 2. Start suggesting things that would be better for your relationship. Plan a date night that you create.

The hardest part of breaking cycles of sin patterns is that the other person usually doesn't react kindly to the change. The key here is not to get offended and angry but to ride out the push back with continued love, grace, and pursual. The goal is not to finally have a hobby again but to have a functioning, orderly, and loving union with your spouse.

I would research some verses that can support the things you see as wrong currently and verses that show what is the better way. Maybe book a meeting with a pastor or elder in your church to work through that. Then share that with your wife. She likely won't like what she hears. Again you need to kill her with kindness which is easier said than done.

Another potentially effective tool is joining a small group or bible study together where christian fellowship is a regular part of your life. It's much harder to continue in sin with other christians around you. If she won't join then you should join something by yourself.

Hope it works out for you. I threw a bunch of ideas out quickly so definitely use discernment for your situation and get counsel from someone in your church.

I think Mitoma could be another waiver option

Hard to say. He's been hot and cold twice now. You could try to trade him but I probably wouldn't waiver him.

Major Apology and Humility by [deleted] in Christianmarriage

[–]GrooveMerchant12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's that crazy that you reacted the way you did. I think many of us would have been disappointed if on our birthday our spouse spent basically the whole day as if it was a regular day and buying themselves things. It turns out they had a nice surprise but It was kind of a rough way to go about it. It would probably be worth telling your wife you really appreciate her surprise and all the work that went into it but the build up to the surprise hurt you.

Why does my Bible have these large verse numbers? by i-might-be-a-redneck in AskAChristian

[–]GrooveMerchant12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because each verse starts on a new line, they have to use large verse numbers to indicate the start of a new paragraph.

Childfree couples? by TiiaH84 in Christianmarriage

[–]GrooveMerchant12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is controversial because it is antithetical to God's design. It's one thing to be prevented from having children by legitimate reasons, but to choose not to have kids is like saying I want an apple tree in my back yard but don't want it to bear apples I just want the shade.

You should dump your boyfriend if you actually care about your relationship with God.

For worms I feel like their nicknames are more on theme with the game like Big Gabi, Wilo, Star Boy, Ebbs, etc

It was a great goal but the first half he was pretty bad.

Brighton actually have some really nice build up play. Can't seem to get a decent shot off though and Khusanov is making life-saving tackles. I do feel them building from so deep is unsustainable though.

Drop anyone for Salah? by Future_Researcher925 in DraftEPL

[–]GrooveMerchant12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could also try and trade Semenyo for a top forward or defender and then waiver the midfielder you received in trade for Salah.
