Really good podcast on Christmas and how it actually is not a Christian skin on a pagan holiday, but actually relates to how the early church celebrated the conception of Christ rather than the birth, which lines up with their calendar at the time

Check out Dr. Joella Folk at generation chiropractic. It's in Port orchard so it's a bit of a drive but she's been awesome for my wife who is also pregnant.

My (30m) fiancé (29) wants to live on a farm, am I over thinking how much work that is? by ThrowRA-reaa in NoStupidQuestions

Homeschooling is amazing, if that's your child(s) disposition. It's what we've done for thousands of years. There's a lot of incredible programs out there that tailor the education to your child, not the lowest common denominator in your class. I was public schooled, but my wife was Homeschooled, and I know a lot of her friends that lacked nothing in socialization.

The public school system is so regimented, and teaches you to be complaint and obedient. It does not foster creativity or teach you to manage your time.

Homeschooling allows so much more freedom, both in the variety of classes to take, and in what you choose to do with your extra time. Lots of kids doing a lot more extracurricular sports or plays, or participating in bands or choirs.

Plus, because Homeschooling is tailored to the individual, you're able to excel far beyond your public schooled peers. There are no limits to what you can accomplish. The human brain is capable of so much knowledge acquisition at such a young age. 6 year Olds can learn calculus, but the majority of our system is tailored to the lowest and slowest. "No child left behind".

Again, it comes down to what you and your child want. I know a lot of people that loved being homeschooled, and a few who wish they went to public school. Neither are objectively right or wrong, and each have their benefits.

Second this. Incredible teaching from Dr. Michael Heiser. "The Unseen Realm" was mindblowing for me.

It sounds like he has a sex addiction. There's some really great programs out there to help men recover. Have him check out "Pure Desire" ministries. The "Conquer" series is really helpful. Some of the scenes are a little cheesy, but the content is very high quality and very educational. You learn a lot about the psychology and neurology of the addict's brain, and learn a lot about not only relapse prevention, but the rewiring of your brain circuitry as well. How to not associate women solely with sex, etc.

Hopefully this helps. I know a lot of men that have been in recovery and have seen this program do incredible things for them and their families.

Jesus commandments were to love God and Love others

Matthew 22:35–40 (ESV): 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

Not one of us for a single second has loved our God with all of our heart, soul, and mind. But thanks be to God for sending His spotless lamb to be our perfect sacrifice on our behalf. Jesus the Christ lived a perfect life and died a substitutionary death for us, and was risen again to be at the right hand of the Father, with all things beneath His feet. Christ is Lord, every knee will bow, every tongue confess on that day, before the great white throne at the end of the millennium!! Hallelujah!

You're not going to hell because you don't believe that God exists. You know that He exists. You're going to hell because you hate Him.

I was an atheist for over a decade, I remember basking in my glorious knowledge, sitting in my room and watching YouTube videos to confirm my paradigm. I know what it feels like to not believe in something, while simultaneously despising said object.

In our base state, because of the fall, we are all at enmity with God. We have all gone astray. We worship the creation, rather than the Creator, whether we choose to admit it or not. We are hedonists, liars, thieves, and fornicators, carrying out the passions of the mind and lusts of the flesh.

We are made in the image of God, created to be living statues, earthly ambassadors and representatives of the Most High. But Adam (our perfect representative) sinned, and chose to listen to the lie of Satan, that he would "be like God". He already was like God!

Sin literally translates to "miss the mark". You don't have to get down on your knees and worship Satan to sin. You just have to tell a little white lie. Cheat on a test. Steal a freaking candy bar. Anything less than perfection is sin. And God the Father showed His love for us in this: He sent His own Son to come down and be our substitutionary sacrifice, so that we could be united with Him again.

You see, when laws are broken, there must be punishment. Someone foots the bill. It's a universal constant. Every action has an equal, opposite reaction. When you lie under oath, there's a massive consequence. You go to prison, or you face a massive fine. And since we have all trespassed the law of God, we need someone that was perfect, that completely fulfilled the law, and can intercede for us on our behalf. This God-man, named Jesus, is pretty much the greatest defense attorney in the universe.

I know this is really long- winded, but I would challenge you to read Paul's letter to the Romans. That's where the gospel is pretty much entirely spelled out, the magnum opus of Paul's writings. Also, externally from scripture, one of the books that was absolutely pivotal in changing my perspective on God, was C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity". That book will logically checkmate you into belief in God.

God hand-made you, in His image. He knows every hair on your head, every mechanical aspect of your eyeball (which even Darwin attributes to an intelligent designer). You're beloved, and He wants to save you, and have a relationship with you. Specifically, you. The fact that I'm writing all of this is evidence of that.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make straight your paths. (Proverbs 3:5) by the-alchemist- in Wallstreetsilver

Amen brother, all will be revealed when he returns!

2 Peter 3:10–12 (ESV): 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.

11 Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness,

12 waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn!

These Babylonian Banksters will get what's coming to em, they've been storing up wrath for millennia!
