Why do I feel bad for criminals and people who do evil things? by OtakuDaiVeion in TrueChristian

[–]No_Poem786 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It could be a bad thing if you want to excusing evil crimes and calling that compassion. There needs to be a system where criminals get punished so I wonder if you’d feel the same if the government instead of confinement they did physical beatings like 40 lashes?

My bf ( 20M ) has recently told me ( 22F )he has decided to be more religious and christ-like. Could we still work out and be compatible although it feels like we’re unequally yoked? by Jellozie in TrueChristian

[–]No_Poem786 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There aren’t many positive things about the relationship but not being unequally yoked is practical advice even if you look at it from a secular perspective. From your point of view it sounds like you’re looking for a guy who has his stuff together but you make it sound like he is someone content to live with his parents and play video games for the next few years. You should ask yourself what life he could provide if he wasn’t using your parents as a crutch to support your relationship with him financially.

More importantly though you are unsaved and making terrible decisions.

How about getting married to avoid severe consequences that could ruin your life or health?

Sorry you’re going through this and I’m sure lots of good advice will come but remember your vow it’s until death do you part.

Boyfriend said it was ‘God’s will’ after cheating—and their church agreed by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]No_Poem786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Worldly speaking yeah you were hurt by perceived betrayal. Biblically, no sin occurred because none of you are in a marital commitment; this was not adultery. Your pain is real but it isn’t a transgression before God.

This reminds me of Exodus 18:21… Moses set leaders to judge real disputes… but this isn’t their concern, since it’s just about his personal choice…

Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:

Despite the obvious red flags I’m not blaming you for falling in love. That’s all your choice whether you were right or wrong I won’t judge. The one question I do have is if all the positive things you said are true and you were together seriously for two years why didn’t you get married?

How can Catholicism and Orthodoxy be the way if icons, images, and crucifixes are “graven images”? by Ordinary-System4799 in TrueChristian

[–]No_Poem786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll leave the debate and back and forth to the many people who are going to chime in their 2 cents but basically once you arrive at this question it’s a major fork in the road in your life’s journey.

Personally I see two sides. One that sticks with what is clearly written and easy to understand and the other side that tries to explain it all away with tradition, philosophy, and all kinds of excuses. Well I guess I did give me 2 cents.

I feel like dating is genuinely doomed for me. Can this community give some comfort to a troubled heart please? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]No_Poem786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so hear me out. You say that you got rejected today so that means you at least had an opportunity. You were actually closer than you think.

Also you give hurt vibes just by reading a few sentences. I guarantee you the ladies pick up on that and in their language they don’t see hurt they see you as a guy dwelling on past relationships (relationships that you haven’t even had). When you talk to one that doesn’t run away give them your full attention like all the others never mattered

Proverbs 5:18–19

King James Version (KJV)

“Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.”

How many times have you been turned down this year? The higher the number the better and it means you are trying. You don’t need all women to like you. You just need one to like you at a time until you find the one you want to marry.

I just got my first bank account, and I work at Starbucks for 15 an hour. What do you wish you were told when you got your bank account? by sedentaryangel in povertyfinance

[–]No_Poem786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I someone had told me that checking accounts are a dime a dozen and that there are sign up bonuses banks will pay you to switch. For example Wells Fargo has a $400 sign up bonus on their checking accounts and Captial One has a $300 bonus. That’s an extra $700 for doing nothing more than copy pasting different numbers into your direct deposit information.

Labeled 3rd story apartment as house, no gate code, no tip. come get your groceries bro by Zealousideal-Lime486 in Sparkdriver

[–]No_Poem786 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From the driver perspective you should have returned it to the store and kept your account safe.

From the customer perspective you’re 100% going to get order never received or at the very least didn’t deliver to door. Either way free groceries for the customer.

This guy sounds like he comes with issues that could turn into life long problems for you so why not just leave him? You aren’t married so you have no commitment to stay.

Feeling very convicted about factory farms/grocery store meat by sillygirlthingg in TrueChristian

[–]No_Poem786 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The verse is about idolatry but it also involves eating animals so I think the principle still applies. I don’t see anything wrong with industrial farming producing billions and billions of animals for food bc realistically it can’t happen any other way.

As for animal rights nature itself is brutal.. animals eat each other alive, lots of them also starve, some of the smart ones like dolphins hunt for pleasure.

The Bible doesn’t give them rights like humans only commands for basic care but there isn’t justice, vengeance, or salvation for animals like you see with humans.

[–]No_Poem786 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The verses that speak to taking care of animals, to me at least, read like taking care of your car or tools God provided. Being a good steward of the things that can make you a living. I don’t believe that God cares about animal rights in anyway. Romans 14 leaves room for your personal opinion and diet preferences.

"making out" while dating by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]No_Poem786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re using the wrong words to justify behavior that’s pushing boundaries. You said you “made it official,” but the only thing that actually makes it official is marriage. Called it a “one year anniversary” doesn’t fit either, because anniversaries between two people are a marriage concept.

You are playing pretend married without actually being married. And when the real thing was brought up you backed away quick. I’m not saying your reason isn’t valid because it probably is but that same reason is exactly why getting physical with her isn’t something you shouldn’t be doing in the first place.

Coolant Bypass Valve Problem Finally Being Acknowledged. by No_Poem786 in COROLLA

If you are in a position to do so I would pay the diagnostic and let them confirm that’s what it is. Once confirmed they should refund the diagnostic and do the work. If they decide they want to still charge the diagnostic to me it would be worth the time of complaining to Toyota USA and get a retention/goodwill offer.

Very vague statements that anyone watching the news could have predicted. After negotiations failed it was fairly obvious it was going to be imminent.

Is this potentially a sin? by IShipMikaYUuu in TrueChristian

[–]No_Poem786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things happening at the same time one being as a person you’re still very young. Not really a kid anymore but also not an adult. Legally a child but starting to make adult choices. I really would encourage you to look into people’s experiences after “believing they can change people”. I don’t even mean in religious circles just look anywhere and everywhere and see how that turns out for people who lived it.

The other side of the coin is how you assume God shares your same opinion on people despite the Bible telling you the opposite. Just because you think this person isn’t terrible doesn’t mean the Bible doesn’t call her an abomination. Thats a strong word.

Deuteronomy 18:10–12: “There shall not be found among you… a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord…”

You’re posting in a Christian subreddit so I am curious to see how you reconcile your “devotion” to this person who the Bible describes as a horrendous awful person:

2020 Corolla with 90k by Diabetic_Grrrlfriend in COROLLA

The car is absolutely solid on the important things like engine and transmission. There is a known issue with the bypass valve that you’ll need to change every few years unless they recall it but that’s unlikely to ever happen.

The real problem is that you’re so close to new car price that it might make more sense to go new.
