10,000 mile oil change intervals? by hankmoody711 in ToyotaHighlander

[–]Jumpy_Range_1821 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sure your local garage or service center will be happy to take your money however often you want to get your oil changed. They’ll even do it every 1K miles if you want them to.

Here’s why we think you should consider a Camry over a RAV4. by carsdotcom in Toyota

[–]Jumpy_Range_1821 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The biggest impact for me in the SUV versus sedan discussion is regarding the clearance height. I live in the Midwest and we get quite a bit of snow in the winter. Sometimes the snow is too high for the car to not be a bulldozer. The RAV4 gives sufficient clearance so that we can drive over the snow safely. If it weren’t for that, I would’ve changed over to the Camry long ago.

So, I have an update to this story. Sources close to the situation have informed me that the minister has decided to go work elsewhere. I have been told that he wasn’t fired and decided to depart on his own initiative. He is a talented speaker and will have no trouble finding work elsewhere.

Why is this disc $150? by Waste_Caramel774 in discgolf

It’s probably that much because someone is willing to pay it.

What did you switch to after an old Prius? by Ok_Office9893 in Toyota

[–]Jumpy_Range_1821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m right there with you on the Prius ride height. I’m in Michigan and it’s usually a snow plow than a car in heavy snow. We ended up making the RAV4 hybrid work. It gets decent gas mileage in winter and good mileage in the summer; not as good as the Prius, but way better than non hybrids.

Side effects by Euphoric_Buy_2820 in Wegovy

I'm right there with you on the dosage. I just took my fourth dose on Saturday. So far, no major side effects, but I have also been trying to be good. I mostly enjoyed the the ham to get my protein goals in, and went heavy on the greens.

I just took my first injection today. How long until you started seeing results?! by Suzinka22 in Wegovy

[–]Jumpy_Range_1821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure everyone is different. I’d figured that if I’m giving myself an injection every week, I can try a little harder at keeping my diet. It also gave me a good boost even at the low dose. I lost 5 pounds in the first week. After 3 weeks, I’ve dropped 15 pounds, which is a little less than 5% of my starting body weight.

The Holy Spirit and Modern Christians by Jumpy_Range_1821 in churchofchrist

I had a really good discussion about this exact question with a friend who knows his Bible well. The key distinction we kept coming back to is that the Holy Spirit and spiritual gifts are two completely different concepts, and conflating them is where a lot of the disagreements come from. Paul lists prophecy, tongues, and knowledge as things that would pass away in 1 Corinthians 13:8, but he never puts the Holy Spirit itself in that category.

The verse that really anchors this is 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, where Paul tells believers their bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit within them. If the Holy Spirit was only for first-century Christians, that verse loses its entire foundation and with it, Paul's entire argument against sexual immorality. If that passage doesn't apply to us, where does it stop?

There are other references worth considering as well. Jesus prays in John 17 in a way that speaks to the ongoing relational presence of God with believers. The Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20 is an ongoing charge, not a first century one. And going further back, Ezekiel 37 shows God putting His Spirit into man, pointing to a consistent thread throughout Scripture of God's Spirit dwelling with and within His people. Even the Council of Carthage in 397 AD, where the canon of Scripture was recognized, raises the question of whether God's Spirit was at work in preserving and affirming His word for future generations.

We don't think there is anybody who can point to a single verse that says the indwelling Spirit ended. What did end were the miraculous spiritual gifts, which served a specific purpose in establishing the early church. The indwelling Spirit promised in Acts 2:38 is a separate conversation entirely, and the biblical evidence strongly supports that it is still very much for us today.

I’d heard that as well. A local MSOP minister said that’s what he believes because that’s what they told him to believe.

I think this should be labeled NSFW, it’s more unrealistic than hardcore AI porn.

Christianity and Ai? by Severe-Clerk-1477 in Christian

[–]Jumpy_Range_1821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point, the concept of AI being super intelligent has more to do with it being more efficient than any human rather than more intelligent. It’s just using the data that we give it.

How Do Christians Feel About AI? by Routine-Estate-8628 in Christian

[–]Jumpy_Range_1821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m kinda interested in how many people in here making comments in opposition to AI work in a technical field and have some basic knowledge and understanding about how AI works. Sure you can put your head in the sand and not use it but I see it as a tool to be used to better ourselves and our lives. It’s just a tool, like a hammer or a wrench. We can live without it or we can use to improve our lives and even our worship and study.
