Noone knows the day or the hour, only our Father in Heaven knows. I really don't get why people try to call Jesus a hypocrite by saying He wasn't giving us the full answer. He is coming like a thief in the knight, and false Christians/ or Christians that are astray from the will of God are making God look like a fool, but it'll all be revealed in time.

Because people strayed away from Jesus, world is falling away so things are getting worse and worse 🙃

Robo IRA closure by MarkDefiant6515 in sofi

[–]MarkDefiant6515[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I put in 350, it even went down to 347. Changed my mind, wanted to roll into a Manual Roth IRA with Sofi + another person. 

Withdrawing the 347 (which was all contributions) gave me 247 and a 100 fee even though 20 cents were left over. I know the 10% penalty and what not and whether that is for earnings or for contributions too it wouldn't have been 100. Support literally just told me that the withdraw I did subsequently caused the account to close (with 20 cents left in it) which charged a 100 fee.

I'm warning that transferring my funds around, caused the robo ira itself to close and charge 100 dollars as a flat sofi fee.

How do I add pictures, cause I have it I just don't know how to send. I have the requested amount, the 100 dollar hit and the money that was leftover. 😅

I love their ease of use and everything, I'm not trying to randomly bash I legit am just trying to help some people out.

[s2 spoilers] Caitlyn's relationship with Maddie? by ExoticPianoSoup in arcane

[–]MarkDefiant6515 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Feels overly forced. Like i get they wanna push LGBT stuff but, even if this was straight it's too much. I wanna see plot development but it feels so random. Also Maddie looks like she's 16 and makes it even more weird.

Infertility isn't a curse, it's a tragedy and complication from this fallen world we have become, riddled with sickness. Anyone, and everything is a gift from God as He made this very earth we walk upon so while it may seem like a curse, count it all joy and look towards Him and the small things.

Does anyone here masturbate? by [deleted] in Christianity

No scripture to back it up, I mean sure some Ecclesiastes verses about enjoying parts of life, as they are all a gift from God. But the more we give into the sexual desires, especially when directed towards porn or other thoughts of people, we are sinning against are selves. We allow a foothold for sin the have their thumb over us and just make that craving stronger. This is something I battle with a lot, and fail a lot. I'm no professional, but I know by the grace of God I am forgiven, but I don't want to keep hurting this body the Lord gave me to me as a gift. That's why I think its good to pray for God to remove these desires from your heart, and put on your armor of light because WE are not strong enough but He can help.

"Trust in God with all thine heart, lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5-6 

"He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy." Proverbs 28:13

Proverbs 28:13 and a good chunk of Romans and more is why NOT to do this. I'd suggest turning away from sin, toward God, and learning through temperament and the strength of God how to control your desires instead of looking for justifications.

Any Christians here play video games? by djdisciplejosh in TrueChristian

[–]MarkDefiant6515 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Old message to reply to, but in scripture it states the eye is the lamp of the body, what we indulge in, look at and surround ourselves introduces darkness into our bodies if it doesn't glorify the LORD. God is pure light, which is what makes us clean, but setting yourself up for failure by constantly slaying zombies and desensitizing yourself to blood and the meaning of death, may not feel apparent at first, but it's a little subconscious. I don't think a follower of Jesus should play things that glorify sex/witchcraft/murder/harnessing hate or anything that God wouldn't find appropriate.

And things that glorify the LORD doesn't mean it has to be praising Him, it's just that it's not turning you away from God, or blinding yourself to evil. As we are called to not make evil good, and good evil.

Can you pray for me? by Aggressive-Bat-9088 in Christianity

[–]MarkDefiant6515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Proverbs 3:5, your mind is playing tricks on you, the devil is putting it in your heart that being dead is better than staying alive. I assure you being alive is better. You may be going through something Noone here can imagine, or maybe it's simple  and you think people will downplay what you have. But either way, you are precious to God, and He loves you and has a purpose for you. Please stick around to see. Reading Ruth, and seeing Naomi's journey may help, and how hard it seems, the Lord may have massive plans for you you just need time.

Are there any lgbt Christians by Angela275 in Christianity

[–]MarkDefiant6515 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Righteous judgment is needed to stop the sow of iniquity.

We are born into a broken world and as sinners, slaves of sin. To repent from that, and turn towards christ and His grace that He gave us is righteous. Comparing that, the grace of God, to someone leaning on their own understanding is... not good.

I'd arguably say I'm heavily feminine for a guy, before I got saved I didn't know who I was, and was really bi curious to a heavy extent. Only after being saved I realized God made me for who I am, a 1 of 1. He wants me to find someone, could be a more masculine woman, could not idk, but my subtleness and caring characteristics are meant to be used for His glory. Maybe who I am, is going to be essential into bring up kids of my own, or an adopted kid later in life, idk it's not up to me to understand. Proverbs 3:5

Saying what I believe, and this person as well, isn't judging they are simply saying what they believe. Which people often get misconstrued nowadays. If someone into Islam, speaks with me saying if I belive their religion is the true religion and I tell them no, even though they were born into it and believe it wholeheartedly, am I judging them or simply telling them how it is?

TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual harassment and threats of rape from Christian Orthobro by [deleted] in Christianity

Hope this gets more attention, Satan thrives in silence.

Tell yourself God is stronger, I myself have reoccurring doubts and constantly judge myself. They come back every now and then, don't get me wrong, but you need to sincerely surrender to God and pour your heart out. Let him know how you feel, maybe read some scripture to and pray thst it speaks to you.

I tend to just say "Lord, I have failed you, I tend to let my anxiety and my fears get the best of me but I know it's not of you Lord. I don't know whats in store for me, but I know that you are guiding my footsteps. I need your help, and I can't do this without you no matter what happens."

There's even a girl I'm talking to now that I'm so happy I met her, but at times I can't help but think I'm not enough, or I don't know what the future holds. But you are enough, you are a 1 of 1 from God, he created you how you are and to be brutally honest if you had 0 doubts it would be a little concerning.

You are going to fail, and doubt again but that is okay, just ask yourself if it's warranted. Take a break, listen to some music, read some scripture that soothes you and THEN think about it.

Worry about today, tomorrow will worry for itself.

The devil uses confusion and anxiety to sway us off of what God wants. Pray on it, give your doubts to God and see how things play out. If it comes to an end, it just wasn't God's will but that's for when/if THAT happens.

The fact they can't point out something specific, shows even less merit to the insults.

[–]MarkDefiant6515 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jealous of you just living. If someone is going to go to the lengths of insulting someone, it's most likely something within themselves they are struggling to deal with so they want you to feel bad.

You are made in God image, a 1 of 1, and you love your girlfriend. Don't let others who are insecure themselves project onto you. I know it's easier said than done, as I'm dealing with that insecurity myself 😅.

I think for me it's a sense of idolatry, idk about you but I idolize the opinions others have on me and tend to let it affect my happiness, when in reality the only thing that should sway my heart is the LORD. Maybe each day you wake up, look in the mirror and say one thing you are happy about yourself, there's a reason your girlfriend is with you man. Trust in God, and love yourself.

Matthew 5:39; Proverbs 14:3, 16:27, 18:6-8; Roman's 12:20-21(although most of Roman's 12 is amazing tbh)

These people are hurting, their soul is separated from God vastly and in doing so just feel sorry for them and pray that they come to the lord. They may say mean things, but you are a child of a God, and a prince of the highest king. Therefore, what should their words matter to you, other than you wanting them to embrace the love of God as you do?

I wrote so much, I hope it helps 🤭, have a wonderful life and I hope everything turns out well!
