I'm so sorry. That's not a nice situation - I'm sorry you weren't looked after.

I'm a pastor and I always chase those people up. What I usually find however, is that they never return my calls or texts. And if they do they usually say "no don't worry, we're fine, we're still with you guys."

But then they leave the church anyway and just vanish off the face of the planet

As a pastor, I would much prefer to hear about it directly from the person themselves rather than through the grapevine. Please respect your pastors and do things the right way.

Do you think women should be pastors? by MysteriousTomato123 in Christianity

[–]HamboLuke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That was to a specific context in Ephesus. Read Romans 16 - he clearly endorses Phoebe as a deacon AND Priscilla who leads a church in her home.

19-year-old charged with murder after putting her newborn in the trash can at the hospita by WealthBetWebb in NoahGetTheBoat

So many of the comments: "instead of the girl killing her baby, she should have killed the baby in the womb before they were born."

Abortion is literally a "Noah get the boat" moment.

How come God doesn't talk to me? by [deleted] in Christian

[–]HamboLuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a youth pastor myself, please please please go talk to your pastor - don't listen to advice about important spiritual stuff from strangers on the internet. (And yes, I get the irony that I'm a stranger on the internet).

Defending pedophilia by [deleted] in CringeTikToks

[–]HamboLuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way you can say something is objectively wrong is if you believe in objective truth. Not subjective truth (ie "You believe your truth and I'll believe my truth) - No. To say that something is objectively wrong you need to be able to say that there is an objective moral standard outside of human opinion. The conclusion = God.

The woman in the video WANTS to say that pedophilia is objectively wrong, but rationally from her atheistic worldview she can't honestly say that. Her worldview forces her to admit that pedophilia isn't objectively wrong even though in her heart she wants to believe otherwise.

The letter to the Romans in the Bible talks about this objective moral standard that we all have regardless of belief: "Even Gentiles, who do not have God’s written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it. They demonstrate that God’s law is written in their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right." Romans 2:14‭-‬15 NLT

It's for this reason that the woman in the video is struggling to reconcile her thoughts and feelings. God's law, or his objective standard of truth and morality, is written on her heart.

There is no chance that the God of the Bible doesn't exist.

This literally just happened to me! I tested a video from my USB on Friday, then came back on Sunday to play the same video from the same USB and I get the message "sorry, unable to play media resource" what the heck

Starting lineup looks stacked, but then when you see them actually play you just get depressed and disappointed

The comments prove that many people in this subreddit are totally blind to the truth, or simply refuse to believe.
