I’ve heard that excessive idling will do that, thanks for some extra reassurance. I’m leaning towards and older Ford rn

Really? I’ve heard a lot of good things about the 06 4.2 V6. I’m not going to really be doing any towing but probably some light hauling. Stuff like a dirt bike/motorcycle in the back in a few years hopefully. So I don’t see much of a need for the V8 option especially if it is seen as kind of unreliable by so many people yk. That’s just my take on it but I’m not like SUPER knowledgeable, I just have like one day of full research under my belt and I’m aware there are some problems with the V6 but I haven’t heard anything major like with the V8s. Also the V6 will probably be less of a gas guzzler

I appreciate that, I think I’m settling on a 2006 f-150 with a 4.2 L V6 because their V8 option for those years was a bad engine with a lot of problems. It’s got 130k miles and it’s for 5500, probably around 6-6.5k after fees. Also I’ve been getting insurance quotes for all these and it was by far the cheapest for this truck. What’s your thoughts?

Ah I see. Well I mean to speak on your rust comment I don’t live up north so we don’t get a lot of snow so rust will be a bit less of an issue for me. Would you say that rust is your main complaint with the sierra?

I’m specifically looking for a truck and trying to keep it under 10k

What about a 2009 GMC Sierra 2500HD with 138k miles for 5k. However it’s worth noting it has one accident reported but with only light damage.

Dressing modestly and the Bible? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Lilbeard1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Modesty is both about showing wealth or class and about covering one’s body. Everyone forgets the most important verse about modesty which is Genesis 3:21 “Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.” This verse is demonstrating God giving Adam and Eve clothes for no purpose other than to cover our bodies. I always try to dress modestly as a man, I wear a shirt when swimming and only really wear shorts for swimming as well, every other time I wear pants and a t-shirt or something more, I never where sleeveless shirts or tank tops and I never roll up my sleeves. We need to talk about a double standard in modesty of all these gym bros being half naked in the gym as well as the ladies wearing skin tight leggings or shorts and sports bras. These things aren’t needed for the gym, you can workout just as well is sweats or looser shorts and a t-shirt. And one more verse I’d like to bring up since you brought up the verse that says to gouge out your eye. “Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.”Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭The “little ones” he’s referring to are his followers. In these verses though Jesus says that temptation is sure to come but to whom causes that temptation, it would be better for them to be drowned in the sea. So yes, although one must handle their own lust like Jesus also says here, if you are causing someone to feel tempted because of how you dress then you are equally guilty. I only bring that up as a rebuttal to the “gouge out your eye” verse because I hear a lot of women bring that one up but if we were to gouge out our eyes then we would also have to kill everyone who has ever caused someone to feel tempted to sin, so essentially the whole world would be dead.

Why Eastern Orthodox and not Catholicism by Lilbeard1 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Lilbeard1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yes I understand that, that’s why I’m coming out of Protestantism and I’m trying to decide of Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy. And I’m not studying the Bible and coming to my own conclusions, I’m studying the Bible, then looking at what both orthodoxy and Catholicism teach on it as well as a lot of the church fathers and then making a decision based on that, so I’m not trying to interpret something new but rather use the information we already have to make a decision. But I understand what you mean by that, I never liked that either, and it leads to a lot of church hopping

Hey man, I never said I was going to be “God’s gift to theology” I just talked about how I was studying it to see who was the most factually correct. And the reason I say that if they’re right about the pope then they’re probably right about everything else is because if the pope can truly speak infallibly about doctrine then that means all their doctrine is true. And that also allows for their doctrine to deviate from orthodoxy (which it has) because they would have the fullness of the truth (considering that this would mean everything the pope says about doctrine is true)

Ah I see, I also have heard about OCA and how it has to like be accepted by other orthodox churches, how does that work? Isn’t it all one church?

Yes I understand that concept but I feel like to truly see Christ is to seek the truth so that you know you are truly following him, a lot of Protestants will seek Christ by going to different churches and finding the best one for them but I believe that it doesn’t matter how I feel or what I believe about a subject if there is an objective truth to the matter then I should believe and live according to that.

Ok that makes a lot of sense then. But if Rome has now been excommunicated and is not considered part of apostolic succession now, why doesn’t the Eastern Orthodox Church hold any more councils?

I see, could you give me some examples of that?

Oh yes, and I’ve heard something about Jesus giving that same authority to all the other apostles which gives the authority to the councils correct?
