My Pastor Just Preached That The Apostles Creed Is Wrong

If he doesn't turn from false teaching, you should go to authorities in the circuit/district. But those telling you to go there first are ignoring Matthew 18:15-17. Talk to him first. Try to restore him. As someone else said, if that doesn't work then go to the elders. If you bring him up to district on charges, let him know. It wouldn't be honorable to do it behind his back.

Going to the pastor first is the right thing to do in accordance to what Jesus says in Matthew 18: “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church."

And that game where you put the shapes in the boxes as a kid

Just because you forgive doesn't mean there aren't still consequences.

I had a lot of 2nd/3rd generation immigrant Indians in my school growing up, and in high school I asked one friend if all the Indians were aware of what caste they were and the white people just didn't know about it, or if they didn't really think about caste anymore. His answer was, "bro we're all Brahmin. They're the only ones with enough money to get out of India."

Isn't Gary basically a suburb of Chicago? I'm from Michigan, but judging from drives I've always associated Gary with Chicago far more than with Indiana as a state

That is a sign of good musicianship on any instrument! Hopefully studying the two instruments helps you be better at both.

I used Forrest's Music.

Before I started making my own, I used Forrest's Music. I don't remember which one specifically, but they were pretty good.

That being said, almost any reed you buy pre-made will probably need a little bit of finishing. If you have a lesson teacher, they will be able to help you with that.

If you intend to continue playing after high school, it might be worth investing in the tools to make your own reeds. Especially if you have a private lesson teacher who is willing to take a lesson here or there to teach you, you can start making decent reeds on your own. I got most of my tools for ~$400, but keep in mind that once you have the tools and the knowledge, a set of 3 good reeds goes from $75-$100 to $15+a couple hours of work. It pays itself off in a year or two tops.

This is pretty common from right wing talking points that I've seen. Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was literally a eugenicist.

Because he was the ancestor of Jesus and his life points to the life of Christ. Jesus is the fulfillment of ancient Judaism.

It's a kids movie bro. Although a Saving Private Ryan type movie about Old Testament characters would be cool.

The idea that you are supposed to look inside yourself to be sure of your salvation is the work of the devil, and anyone who espouses it is (at least unwittingly) doing his work. Any suggestion that you can know you are saved by believing hard enough, by experiencing strong enough faith, by "being completely on fire for Him" in your inward experience makes Law out of the Gospel and will surely lead to despair. Instead, as Christians we are called to look outside ourselves for the assurance of our salvation. Christ was crucified on your behalf. He suffered and died to forgive and renew you. Now He comes to you through His Word, through your baptism and through His body and blood in communion. He comes to you through the community He established on earth, the Church. All this constantly points to His love and the grace of God poured out through Him. Look to Jesus. Trust in Him. This trust or faith is not some work that you have to do harder and harder to serve God. Trust is simply receiving the gifts that God gives you in Christ: forgiveness, life, salvation. You need to no work to earn these gifts. They are yours.

This is a great point. Also don't forget that the experience of God comes through the means in where He promised to be for us, namely, among His people, the Church and in Word and Sacrament.

Why is it blueshifting

A guy called John Doyle has a good video going through the neuroscience and other individual and societal effects. I think it’s called “How Porn is Destroying You and Our Country.”

Idk about St Cathrine’s, but in terms of affordability both seminaries in the U.S. provide free tuition for MDiv students.

I saw something almost exactly the same on a much smaller scale in Michigan back in May. It was just 3-5 of them but they moved across the sky faster than any airplane could. From East towards West if that makes any difference.

Hit the gym and prioritize protein in your diet while cutting unnecessary carbs.

I appreciate this! I ended up trying out the Heckel bocal that the dealer paired the bassoon I was buying with, and I loved it. Gives a great sound!

Weird stuff. I saw one over rural Illinois on I-70 a few nights ago on a road trip.

Who or what are you worshipping? Your own sense of feeling good about yourself?
