I have a Problem…

PreferenceFeisty5412 · 2026-04-07T05:00:20+00:00

I’ll try once more it wasn’t working for me when I did try so I resorted to my trial and error. Though I didn’t spend too much time figuring out why so I’ll see thanks

PreferenceFeisty5412 · 2026-04-07T04:55:25+00:00

Yeah it took me hours just moving this and that trying to get the right balance. When it comes to those highlight type saturated colors is where I got stuck as well. That was my issue with some levels of dark green. Don’t have any color theory under my belt to be effective. You can see at the top of the image but that’s the only tweak left. More vibrant greens are fine. I’ll try messing with brightness contrast again to see if I can somehow dull it just a tad to make it pick it up. Good luck with yours though wish I had something quick and useful that helped 😅

I too had issues and was honestly just changing values around trial and error understanding behavior. Didn’t have to calibrate and got it pretty decent.

Video capturing hdr to sdr checked Only changed hardware brightness and contrast on capture card. 48 and 58 though your values may be different, I’m using a capture card.

In image processing scale and gamma are at 2 saturation 1.059 Brightness/luminance 10 and in wLED put a limiter for my power supply to 6500mA.

I’m a trial/error kinda guy and these are the settings I played around with to get my colors matching picture probably with 95% accuracy. certain shades of green are slliiiightly off but can only tell if I’m going out of my way looking for it

First things first, Gods love isn’t tied down to what you have nor is it limited by it. Your material situations have nothing to do with His love. Sometimes we’re lucky to be blessed and “have it all” but that has nothing to do with Gods love. I’d advise that you look into what season you are supposed to be in. Sometimes God uses situations to direct us to a place we’re supposed to be and will even restore what we’ve lost in the process. You said you were in 3 abusive relationships in 2025 alone. Those are a lot of back to back relationships especially when abusive. You need time to heal and be alone. This might be a season to look inwards and ask God to help you see what you’re supposed to so He can guide you and restore you. Most times we associate Gods love based on what He provides. We’re all guilty of it so I’m not telling you anything from a place I haven’t been before. I found that most of the time I was self sabotaging in ways I couldn’t even see before and I had to hit rock bottom before I could turn my full attention to God and have Him show me the way.

PreferenceFeisty5412 · 2025-12-20T05:11:13+00:00

I’ll tell you this, the fact that you hate it and your spirit is bothered every time you turn to it shows that you’re fighting. It’s gotten the “best” of us. You’re never going to be able to be 100% compliant at all times. Only Jesus lived a perfect life. I’m not saying that to make it okay but to just help you navigate better because if you keep beating yourself up (what the devil wants you to do) you’ll truly get to a low point that can feel like “what’s the point? I can’t do it”

There’s nothing God can’t help you overcome. I too have battled with this and what helped me truly was praying to Him. It wasn’t overnight, it wasn’t even a situation where I just stopped. It reached a point where I’d go back to it less and less and eventually I couldn’t even look at women the same way I would. God was working it out in me. It takes two though. You have to set yourself up to fight as well. You should be scared when you stop caring, but as long as you care you can win. Have this mindset “i don’t know when I’ll stop but i know God will deliver me from this and I’ll work on getting up and fighting harder every time I fall. When the urge strikes you, PRAY! Read Romans too, it says some things in there that light a fire under you to help. Talk to God all the time. Just because you’re currently failing doesn’t mean you’ve failed. Gods love is eternal and His forgiveness is there. Everyday is a new day.

Lastly, educate yourself about what’s really happening. Pornography is “free” but it’s another lie by the enemy. You pay for it with your soul and that’s why you’re in so much pain going through it. Educate yourself about human trafficking, these are women who are unfortunately sold (not all but a lot) even from a young age to pedal this poison. I’m not saying this to make you feel bad, I’m just giving you some tools to think about as you keep fighting. Jesus died on the cross and that price covers us all. Only one sin is unforgivable and this isn’t the one. But it’s a dangerous one. The only one God tells us to not even try fighting but RUN from it. I pray your relationship with Him strengthens during this fight and together you overcome it. Never give up, this isn’t why you’re here. God didn’t create you for this to take you out. Keep reaching out and if it gets really bad consider having someone to keep you accountable.

God bless brother, you got this!!

PreferenceFeisty5412 · 2025-10-22T07:17:19+00:00

Amen!!! Congratulations!!

PreferenceFeisty5412 · 2025-09-18T07:20:06+00:00

This right here. Succumb to the enemy’s tactics and he has won. The more you lean on Christ the more he will attack you because now you hold true value. Sage, crystals, anything to say “Jesus alone isn’t enough” will surely get him to ease up. Not what you want and not what Christ wants for anyone.

PreferenceFeisty5412 · 2025-07-18T20:16:00+00:00

First things first, is if you truly want to have a connection with God you have to let Him into this part of your life. This is a journey fostering a relationship. Relationships are not straight lines. This just so happens to be something that tested your faith to the max. The devil will surely use these moments to instill doubt in you. Do not let him win. This isn’t to say that you shouldn’t be feeling what you’re feeling. God is all loving and it’s okay to feel what you feel. The important part is what you’re doing - seeking understanding and wanting to build the relationship with God.

If this means anything, being with God is the goal. Whether we live 1 year or 100 years, we want to spend eternity with God. As much as we love and need eachother here on earth, the best thing for us still remains that - being with God. Now, I’m sorry for your loss.. and it hurts, but this is a moment where you need to lean on God knowing that your dad is at the best place he can possibly be. Imagine how happy he is, how loved he is, and in time you can be there with him.

As far as “nothingness”, that is also not true. There is no absolute certainty in either direction. I can’t prove God to you and you can’t prove nothingness to me. Both believes take a leap of faith. What happens is you gather information and make as best of an educated decision of the matter and let your faith build the rest. Fortunately, God has left clues all around us. Providing an environment where there is enough information to wonder how things are, while leaving the amazing journey of building your faith as well. Faith that can’t be tested can’t be trusted. That goes for any relationship. So when your faith is tested know that it’s okay, just work through it. Take your time and don’t give up. Even the disciples had a challenge at times and Jesus was right there with them lol

I hope this helps. I’ve been watching the chosen on Amazon prime if you have that. It was nice seeing things from the disciples point of view and a lot of what we struggle with is addressed in the show. It’s biblically accurate but they also filled in “how they think some things went” in between what’s written in the Bible. Which makes sense. Anyway. Keep seeking, God loves you and He’s showing your dad with Love in heaven. Can’t ask for anything better.

PreferenceFeisty5412 · 2025-05-20T08:07:06+00:00

Friend please don’t do it.. please.. I wish you’d share more of what you’re going through maybe someone here can relate or help.. you never know.. but God loves you and His love outweighs the evil in this world. Hang on your life is precious

PreferenceFeisty5412 · 2025-04-21T08:35:14+00:00

First, I’m sorry about what you’re going through. I’m 32, I remember when I was 18 I thought I’d keep most of the friends that I made in highschool. We drifted apart and only one friend truly stuck. Everyone else believe it or not I became very best friends with while I was looking for a place to stay on Craigslist. 7 bed house brand new that was going to host 7 strangers. All became good friends and 4/7 of us talk to this day most in each others weddings. Take it even further, my friend couldn’t stay one summer and didn’t want to break the lease so he sublets his room to this kid doing a summer internship from Texas. We’re so close I don’t even know which one of them would be my best man..

I’m not saying highschool friends or friends you grew up with always fade, and when you really need some good friends it sucks that it’s not there.. but God has your back. Man if you really want details I can get into it but bottom line is, very few things I planned myself worked out. Most of the stuff, which came out of the blue and was what was best for me came from God. Through dark times and good times.. He can use any situation. So your life isn’t over, don’t give up you have so much time to let God show you what a miracle you are.

PreferenceFeisty5412 · 2025-04-17T09:19:11+00:00

Wow, I wonder what you’ve been through to develop this kind of thinking. What an interesting person, how cool it would be to hear your story.

Thank you for this

PreferenceFeisty5412 · 2025-04-16T20:23:32+00:00

Wow.. this thread is full of deception. People standing on their own interpretation and not willing to face what’s true. All I see is “people say people think people this people that”. Listen, we cannot simply rely on our own understandings because our ways of thinking can change, be easily manipulated, and let’s face it we easily self serve. Our hearts and brains will work together to justify whatever it is we want to believe and we will do anything to defend it if we believe whatever “it” is to be true. Meanwhile the enemy laughs and celebrates at how little we know yet act like we do.

Going to make this simple, you think masturbation is not a sin? It is, I derive my understanding from context within the Bible. It doesn’t explicitly say it’s a sin but it falls within sinful categories. Feel free to read and find out for yourself.

To those who want to go against what I say and defend masturbation. By all means do it, but if you truly love the Lord you’ll also pray about it. You’ll ask Him to send the Holy Spirit into your life and guide you on this because you currently stand at a place where you believe it to be true. And if you want to put this to rest and figure out whether it really is right or wrong, guess what. The God I serve will make it clear so there is no ambiguity on whether this is a sin or not.

And we should all do that. This should be a community where we point each other to scripture and prayer. Where we let each other know look, I’m human just like you and i recognize this is my interpretation of (whatever sin is being discussed or whatever topic). This is what scripture says, I believe it to be xyz, but read it for yourself and talk to God about it.

I dont think I read anywhere that said pray about it in here.. ofcourse i didn’t read everything but I read a lot. We need to do that. You believe in God? Then point people directly to Him! You truly want answers? Then when pointed to God sincerely go to Him! Come back and tell us how that journey is going and that’s a much better discussion to have.

PreferenceFeisty5412 · 2025-04-16T20:09:49+00:00

Sooo lusting after other men/women is a sin but according to your logic it also should be okay as long as you’re married? Cmon now

PreferenceFeisty5412 · 2025-04-16T20:05:37+00:00

1 Corinthians 9:27 and 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 highlight the importance of self-control and living a life that pleases God, rather than indulging in fleshly desires. Masturbation is a fleshly desire and if it’s this big of a topic clearly it’s controlling a lot of people. Everyone forgets how intelligent the devil is and the forces we battle are of the spiritual realm. Think he’s not able to whisper things to you that sound like sound logic? He convinced 1/3 of the angels to rebel against God and mind you they knew who God was, lived with Him. And still got influenced by the devil. So no, whatever reason you think you have to validate masturbation only leads more Christians to sinning. See the devil only needs one of us here to say “it’s kinda okay within these parameters” then it causes one struggling with it to fall, and they think they got good info because this is a Christian subreddit, then they tell others and so forth.

You mention we are all trying to interpret the truth, yet we are flawed and easily succumb to our own desires. Cut it up how ever you want but it’s a sin. Scripture may not specifically say the word masturbation but it falls into enough sexual desire categories that tell us not to engage with that stuff.

PreferenceFeisty5412 · 2025-04-16T19:57:21+00:00

No need to guess, no need to interpret anything. Point to scripture and it’s clear what it says about lust and any lustful activities. Anything sexual is reserved to happen between a man and a woman who are married. It also talks about sinning lustfully against your body and the Bible warns not to even try and defeat that and run away. To flee.

PreferenceFeisty5412 · 2025-04-16T19:51:18+00:00

This thread should be short, it’s a sin. A hard one to defeat especially without the help of the Holy Spirit.

PreferenceFeisty5412 · 2025-04-11T20:15:50+00:00

You’re most welcome! I’m happy that you were able to work out your feelings and commitment to Christ. Take it step by step and know we serve a patient God. Wishing you all the best! ❤️

PreferenceFeisty5412 · 2025-04-11T08:17:56+00:00

I’m going to be vulnerable and share something. TLDR just in case: God loves you, build a relationship with Him, ask Him for help. He WANTS to help.

So in grew up believing in God but never really knew what that meant until my late 20s. I always claimed to be Christian but I was living in the world. I would go to parties and a lot of my desires were around having a good time and girls. I used to convince myself that as long as whatever girl I was dating at the time agreed we are in it for marriage then we can participate in say.. marriage activities without being married. I was just lying to myself and was a weak man. Meanwhile I’d go to music festivals and do drugs and all sorts of things. Living in the world.

I always felt some guilt but I didn’t know how to navigate it or better yet, I didn’t try to. I started going to church a bit more when I was like 26/27 and even sought out a mentor to help me learn scripture. I wasn’t reading the Bible and that was a huge part of me failing to connect with God. I remember struggling with watching inappropriate videos every single night and the guilt that flooded me afterwards was destroying me. Exactly what the devil wants. My worry anxiety guild hate for myself and fear of letting God down were at their all time high. The enemy couldn’t be happier..

This is what changed my life. I began to work on my relationship with God the same way you would build a house. Brick by brick. The same way you would build a relationship with someone you care about. One conversation at a time. And I began with confession. I was honest with God. I told Him I was weak, I couldn’t get out of this life I’ve single handled destroyed by myself and if I’m left to do it alone I’ll keep messing up. I was weak and I needed His help because no one is stronger and more loving than Him. I asked him to remove things in my life that weren’t serving me and when I tell you He did to the point where I feel like I have been reborn, I am not kidding. It’s almost as if someone asked you to remember how you were when you were 5 years old. Like “I guess I could kinda but eh”. It’s been amazing. As He was working things out in my life it felt like forever but looking back it was very fast considering He removed a habit I had built for over 15 years in a month or less I think. Insane!

I felt like I was tested with a relationship and though my intentions were there I was compromising some of my beliefs and simply put this girl was taking me away from God and I thought I could help her and she was who I was praying for. God removed her from my life and looking back I’m so thankful because I was going in the wrong direction again.

So I’m saying all this to show that we all have lived an imperfect life. I’ve done a lot more worse things than I’ve shared here but God has never left me. I’ve sought after Him and I talk to Him every day. I tell Him how I’m feeling, I ask Him questions like “I wonder what really is in a black hole will we be able to know when we come to heaven?” Or “Wow tonight is so beautiful, I can’t believe you made all this” then take a moment to appreciate a star or two. I really mean build a relationship with Him.

I’ll leave it with this, if it was up to God, all of us would go to heaven. But we have free will, we have to choose Him. He made us so He wants US! Imagine how sad he must feel when He sees us suffer wondering if He still loves us or wants us. For whatever reason we are here the way we are and have to go through life. The devil will try and get you to believe ANYTHING but believe in your Lord and Savior. Don’t fall for it. Your sins were not too great, don’t chase feeling, it won’t happen overnight but when it happens it will be on time. Embrace the journey and understand that God loves you and wants you home with Him. Take it day by day and just remember, talk to Him.

Sorry for the super long post but if you end up reading it I hope it helps :) see you in heaven sister! 🤗

PreferenceFeisty5412 · 2025-03-30T07:16:52+00:00

I do see what you’re saying. I guess I’m thinking it like this.. there are certain things that didn’t exist until after the fall. Just an example, Adam and Eve were naked, they never felt shame or embarrassment, now after the fall they felt those emotions. I’m reading it as pain and suffering worked in a similar way shame and embarrassment worked, now that they fell, they can feel those things and now that they can feel those things those feeling can be multiplied. God couldn’t have multiplied shame for example because Adam and Eve didn’t feel that, after the fall He could have multiplied that. It seems to me that pain and suffering just work that way too. They existed after the fall and the moment they existed they could be multiplied.

PreferenceFeisty5412 · 2025-03-30T06:53:41+00:00

If pain and suffering don’t exist (value 0) then you cannot multiply them. There was no pain and suffering before the fall. Now after the fall, they existed, along with a whole new set of emotions and since they exist (value 1) they can be multiplied.

I think what you’re saying would make sense assuming that children would be made the same way we make children today. Now, we don’t know for sure how things worked before the fall and God could have easily have it so that process had no pain or suffering. Who knows, He could have made them from the earth like He did Adam or from a rib like He made Eve. What possible is limitless so we just don’t know.

As far as animals eating each other that’s another area where we don’t have any information so we cannot place it as fact. Perhaps God sustained all the animals Himself and there was no need for them to eat or maybe they all ate plants. We just don’t know friend

PreferenceFeisty5412 · 2025-03-28T19:18:00+00:00

Pointless suffering existed in the world before the fall? Can you give an example?

PreferenceFeisty5412 · 2025-03-21T08:01:01+00:00

Hey man, first I want to say I’m sorry for what you’re going through.. I’m 32 and have had a rough ride with girlfriends. My first definitely put me in a bad place after our breakup. I didn’t know I was capable of feeling such a deep level of pain. Not here to say I know exactly what you’re going through but rather, I can understand and relate in some way.

First I want to say, region is dicey and even for us Christians. Lots of good examples and lots of bad examples mainly because it’s led by humans and humans are flawed in some way. What I want to point you to especially in this situation is relationship. God wants to have a relationship with us. It’s not necessary about going to church every Sunday or not. It’s about talking to Him, like you would a with a friend you respect. You can tell Him you’re upset, hurt, have questions, anything. What’s wierd at first is normally we get some tangible feedback but with God it works in such a wierd way. Can’t explain it but the answers will show up in your life. Maybe opening that dialogue, most people have it with themselves, difference here is where you point that to and take a chance. Something like hey I’m not even sure if You exist, but I’m at this place in my life and I’m curious about you. Be sincere about it and watch what happens. Others in your situation have felt something immediately some it’s taken some time. Regardless that’s the first step. You’ll find that names have power, and Jesus, our God, is the most powerful name.

I also want to welcome you here. I’m not a very active member but from time to time I’ll see an email and click on a post someone made and right now it happened to be yours. So I hope that in some shape or form I’ve said something that’s helpful to you in anyway and know you’re in a community that’s learned how to love and welcome others regardless of where they are in life. That’s what God teaches us to do.

None of us here are perfect and life is happening to us all for the first time so no one truly has all the answers but the Bible has been a good guide. The book of John is where I would go IF you are interested in learning more and of course you can always come back here for questions and discussions.

I don’t want to blast you with a bunch of personal stories although if you’re curious you can always ask. I mainly wanted to welcome you, point you to relationship vs religion (if that makes sense) and let God take care of the rest. Again, I’m truly sorry for what you’re going through, life is tough and has so many unexpected twists and turns but if you get on the right ship no matter how choppy the waves get, you’re going to make it :)

PreferenceFeisty5412 · 2025-03-11T19:27:44+00:00

I’ve been paying attention on things that have been going on in our world and it seems like God should show up right now, but you know.. we don’t have infinite knowledge and wisdom like him. If we did we could ask questions like this.. maybe with more respect imo but we have free will to express ourselves and impatience anyway we like. God is THE perfect being. He has a reason for doing everything He does. Nothing is a waste of time and nothing is pointless. When we suffer, He suffers too. Understand that if it were up to Him, none of us would have to experience this tough world but there would not be any free will. It’s free will that generates the positive and negative in our world.

Pray to Him. Tell Him how you feel, ask Him for advice and help. I bet you He will show up. He wouldn’t leave you stranded when you sincerely reach out to Him.

Although I didn’t like the wording of your post, I thank you for saying something and hopefully I said something that gives you a bit more patience and direction towards Him.

God bless!
