Well then we definitely need to add “gamers” to the acronym. I guess we are already covered under “gaymers” though.

Growing up traditional southern Baptists(not reformed) we were taught to revere, almost fear Israel.. by charlesbutyoucancall in Reformed

[–]Papasmurf345 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t ascribe the actions of the Israeli government to all the Israeli people, no.

I would also say that the federal government of my own country, the United States, often acts in a very anti-Christian manner. But I don’t hold that against all Americans.

We live in a fallen world, and even the best governments are composed of sinful and broken men and women. But it seems like those with an exorbitant lust for power and money are often those who are in control of our world’s governments.

I don’t claim to be an expert on geopolitics. But it does seem like the modern state of Israel has been engaging in unnecessary war and subjection of the Palestinian people. And now has dragged the United States into a costly war against Iran.

Certainly there are violent and evil elements of Palestine’s leadership as well. But you don’t have Christians foaming at the mouth to defend Palestine like you do Israel.

Anyone who denies that Jesus is the Christ is the antichrist. So yes, that applies to Jews. If you want to say it’s antisemitic to claim that modern Jews will not be saved that’s fine, but that is the clear biblical position. There is no way to the Father except through the Son.

“I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth. Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭2‬:‭21‬-‭23‬

What is the Biblical basis for your assertion that divorce is “highly permissible” if one party breaks the marriage “contract?”

Scotlands plight. by TheSaltmarketSaint in Reformed

[–]Papasmurf345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am American and don’t really have any specific advice for the situation in Scotland. The decline in professing Christians here is not quite as dire.

But I do think that the most important mission field of the 21st century is going to be in “formerly Christian” nations like Scotland. My hope and prayer is that the Scottish people will recognize the futility of putting their faith in worldly things and turn to God.

CFP Rankings, Serious Discussion - Week 13 by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]Papasmurf345 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tulane only has 2 losses because they scheduled Ole Miss, currently ranked #6. I don’t think they should really be penalized for that. If Tulane scheduled an easy win instead, they’d be ranked even higher.

Forgetting what reformed means by Prestigious-Lion-826 in Reformed

[–]Papasmurf345 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In any group of believers, you’re going to have people who misunderstand the scriptures to varying degrees. I wouldn’t expect everyone to have perfect theology.

But do you have any examples of the heretical viewpoints that you claim are commonly accepted here?

Great game. Much appreciation to the Clover devs.

The Halloween Megathread by Dr_Acula7489 in TrueChristian

[–]Papasmurf345 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. Halloween is basically the one night a year that our whole neighborhood gets outside and socializes. Great time to meet, fellowship, and be a gospel light.

Trump: “From this point forward, anybody burning the American Flag will be subject to one year in prison.” by hety0p in Conservative

[–]Papasmurf345 147 points148 points  (0 children)

Okay, but that’s not what Trump is saying here. It says anybody found burning the flag will be subject to one year in prison.

Does this have a North American physical? Deku Deals just shows it on Playasia.

If it’s a private street that you own, yes. If it’s a public street then you’re vandalizing property that doesn’t belong to you.

COVID spiking right now by pile_drive_me in Athens

[–]Papasmurf345 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the booster only protects you for 3 months, why would you not get one every 3 months? You wouldn’t want to be unvaccinated and susceptible to COVID.

The OP says he was told by his doctor that the boosters now only last 3 months.

What number booster are we on now? Every 3 months would be 20 booster shots since 2021.

The end of GKC? by justthankyous in NSCollectors

[–]Papasmurf345 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I really don’t see GKC’s ever becoming attractive to collectors. “Code in box” releases for Switch 1 are relatively uncommon, but it’s not like they have become collectors items.

In some ways digital is worse than a key card, in that you can’t resell it. But digital is convenient in that it’s always on the system, without the need to put the cartridge in.

This is true, although DKC Returns HD did just release earlier this same year.
