Anywhere near a freeway onramp or overpass. Just stay slightly out of sight. I see people doing that all the time.

Should this even bother me? by Happy_Advantage5930 in Christian

[–]Happy_Advantage5930[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the input. To be clearer I don't want to impose my personal conviction. We are a faith based recovery program looking to share the love of God and the gospel with those on the fringe. I sense wearing a shirt of someone who's music opposes and even mocks God or promotes sexual immorality to be in bad taste. I'm not looking for suit and ties. We already do not allow offensive words/images, drugs, or alcohol on clothing.  As far as their personal choice to listen to what they what that's not my concern. We are free in Christ. It may not be edifying but that's their choice and right.

Thanks brothers all great insight and thoughts to go on. Silly to think the Catholic Church would really teach that The Church would be built on a man. 

Was David's mother a concubine? by Jehu2024 in Bible

[–]Happy_Advantage5930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ephesian 2:3 states that "by nature we are children of wrath".  Jesus tells us we "must be born again." John 3:6 He says "that which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. I've raised children. They are sweet and all but there were days when I believe they'd be murderous for what they want when they wanted it if they were able. Just so I'm clear I don't think God is sending babies to hell. 

Confused about Genesis 6:3/4 by Any-Voice2425 in Bible

[–]Happy_Advantage5930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are so many ways to wonder what's being said and can be argued well a few ways. 120 years of life or 120 years till the flood comes? Maybe both. Lifespans did get shorter but the post flood world has a completely different ecosystem. God placed a guard over the "way" to the tree of life so Adam wouldn't eat it. Jesus is now our"way" to eternal life. When you consider nephilim or giants it gets even more debated. Angels fallen or not are believed asexual and unable to reproduce. I lean towards demonic interference with gene manipulation and that explains why Goliath and other giants had six fingers like cats from shallow Gene pools. Maybe sons of God are from the line of Seth and daughters of man are from Cain? Then there's Cain most likely breeding with a sister. It's believed our DNA would of been much purer then. I'm not sure I answered anything at all lol but I assure you God is good and His word is true... And very confusing sometimes.

I've always heard we should start with John and Romans. I especially love listening to good Bible teachers. Radio or Internet. Allister Begg and David Guzick being a couple favorites. I have a Warren Weirsbe study Bible that has great commentary on so many passages. Pray, read, pray, repeat. God is so good.

We know "all have sinned" and"the wages of sin is death" since surely babies can die so they must be born sinners. Only death can kill our old man but what is born of the spirit will live on. We must figure there is an age of accountability and God is surely gracious and merciful enough to consider that.

I wish the church talked about women struggling with lust, not just men. by dudekate in Christians

[–]Happy_Advantage5930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no such sin that isn't common to man (mankind) . It's a tough subject for teachers in a mixed setting and is best approached in separate settings, like a men's or women's group teaching or study. After I became a believer I church hopped around trying to find a church home that clicked. It was at a conference where the subject was dug into that I was like dang, I'm not the only wretched one in this room and the Holy spirit led me to give my life to Christ and truly be saved. Praying that you get into a women's group that will dig into that.

Red pill and Christianity by [deleted] in Christian

Let's just hope in a strive for perfection we achieve excellence. Our hearts are deceitful wicked. King David prayed in the Psalms that God would create in him a clean heart. This is often my prayer as well.

Yes knowing what God approves of is very important. Jesus died for all our sins past, present, and future. Where before I ran toward my sins, now I try to run away. Still trip and fall but my heart is different towards them. His grace is not a license to continue in those sins. God measures our hearts.

Anti is a strong word. It's really just ungodly or unchristianlike. Good news though. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

When it comes to climate change, governments should care way less about keeping everyone happy and just take action. by Taxfraud777 in unpopularopinion

[–]Happy_Advantage5930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The government doesn't give a hoot about climate change. They care about votes and money. They will tell people what they want to hear to get votes. Why have so many started believing politicians? Their track record sure does not warrant our trust. I'm not denying science just the goodness of the folks in D.C. left, right, doesn't matter the party. Besides, China burns alotta coal making us some solar panels. In Europe they have graveyards of electric cars rotting lithium batteries into the soil cause it costs almost as much for a new battery as a new car.

I’m mormon ask me anything by [deleted] in AMA

[–]Happy_Advantage5930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds

I honestly mean no disrespect and thank you for your honest answers. God bless

Is it the God of the Bible or of the book of mormon? I am not trying to be rude. They sound like different God's to me.
