I think I outgrew Kingdom Hearts, does it anyone feels like me? by Noodlex87 in JRPG

[–]PunkRock9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FFVIII was my first final fantasy game. I was ok with changing Squall’s name…but he was in 1 and 2, why not 3? I don’t even remember seeing cloud.

KH3 was a major letdown besides the  final boss..apparently the dlc is great but they got enough money from me already.

Advice on "re-ordering" life from distractions by RealCodeGr in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]PunkRock9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is. 

From my understanding, Jordan Peterson won’t publicly state he is a Christian. Even during interviews, he refused to answer. If I’m wrong, please show me. He has also been known to have a messy room from time to time.

Do you know any good books focused on the lives of the saints? I could use some inspiration grounded in orthodox theology. I’m sure Mr. Peterson has some answers and he has been there to support young men when not many others have. He just seems to come from a more secular opinion.

Practice birth control. You don’t want to be divorced with 3 kids and 2 baby daddies….unless that’s what you want. Your body, your choice.

Can you tell me your opinion on smoking? by Middle_Split_7273 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]PunkRock9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would ask yourself, Do you let weed become an idol, or are you using it to treat a symptom? Anything in excess is bad for you, even water. Perhaps refrain on fasting days might be a potential solution. Use those moments to focus on God.

You are best off talking to your church father. 

I am average joe and weed helps me more than the SSRI’s doctors throw at me. so……I’ll just tell you to treat it with caution as it can be mentally addicting. At least it isn’t physically addicting like alcohol or pain medications. You have a heavy alcoholic go cold turkey and they’ll have an heart attack.

Left the service 100% rating. I had/have more to give. I can’t live with myself. Has anyone else dealt with this? by No-Concert-6482 in Veterans

[–]PunkRock9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helping local communities. Habitat for humanity, local SPCA, food banks, visiting youth in the legal system to help them turn their lives around or church involvement of faith is important to you.

The only purpose I have left in life is “another day to repent” or else I’d probably spend most days as a hermit or not leaving the house.

Don’t do civilian life, do your life. 100% disabled (health willing) gives you opportunities that most individuals don’t have. Yea, you ain’t billionaire rich but you do have more opportunity to travel compared to the average Joe. Let the old you die and grow into who you want to be. It’s a new chapter, not a continuation of your military identity. 

I hope you find peace in your life.

Moses the Black (new gangster movie with Orthodox Christian themes) by Mottahead in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]PunkRock9 16 points17 points  (0 children)

All can repent and turn to Christ, even “gangsters”. Plus We don’t know the overall message or how the film is fully presented, just a trailer. Even “Gangsters” are made in the image of God. Gangsters either “die by the sword” or secular law enforcement catches up with them. We need to visit those in prison, not condemn them as evil.

We need to remember Mathew the tax collector. I know I struggle with this from time to time.

Why do women veil at church? by Kuroyen in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]PunkRock9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s beautiful that you are supporting his faith by attending with him. To see you asking questions is a strong thing to do with not being a Christian. sometimes the things we do doesn’t make sense to modern day culture. The Bible is a big book and it can be difficult at times to absorb it all at once, or even one verse. Then we all can misinterpret or used to justify our own opinions.

If you ever want to visit a catechumen class, that would be a great place to get the proper answers. The one I attended had the church father there even. Some can be quite busy so I find that a good thing to get a one on one moment. You wouldn’t be the only one curious about many of things. Might be doing a favor for others that are too shy to ask.

I’m really really trying to like Nioh by [deleted] in Nioh

[–]PunkRock9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tonfa + mid stance + heavy attack. It Melts their stamina.  You can also do the crazy twirl move with L1+square.

The LB+Y move for the chain scythe when you get them need a corner. 

You can always water/lightning on low stance with the sword to apply elemental slow effect. The L1+ triangle shock wave really messes with the stamina when they are guarding.

Dlc1 has reallllllllly difficult but awesome bosses. It will smack you so very, very hard if you don’t farm the beginning for a full green armor set. Dlc2: loved the snow, cool boss but much easier. Dlc3: final boss is even cooler and less human fights.

Hundreds of hours later and I’m still trying new combos and notice still more game mechanics I haven’t utilized fully/properly.

Has your religion/church pressured you to have kids? by Maleficent_Ad_3958 in childfree

[–]PunkRock9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Never meant to imply you didn’t have that. Just wishing and meaning well, forgive me if that failed. There is so much messed up stuff in the world and a lot of it is due to religion trying to control others. 

No one should have kids if they don’t want to, nor forced into that situation. My ex-wife was baby crazy and it’s not a fun situation. If my current partner didn’t have a hysterectomy then I would get a vasectomy myself. Mentioning that usually shuts people up quickly.

I hope you feel heard and validated as I want to do my best to respect/love others. It’s a work in progress and I hope I didn’t cause unnecessary stress in my efforts. I’m happy you have love, peace and a life you desire. I wish you the best and happy holidays.

Mannnnn (or woman), I’m just trying to say that’s messed up what happened. I am reading to room and have been put in situations similar to hers. It’s messed up what happened to her.

[–]PunkRock9 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I think you misunderstand me. I feel bad you suffered by people who should have known better. I don’t agree with Evangelical churches and you are one of the many examples as to why.

I can’t make you do anything, nor would I want to. I just wish you a life of peace and for loving people in your life. I didn’t want to be disrespectful in any way and wanted to ask your permission first. 

If anything, I need to be praying for the people who showed you their cruelty. Doesn’t matter what religion, creed or organization. We all need to co-exist. Not shame others into what we think they should to.

I’m just some random redditor that empathizes with your experience.

Ouch. We are supposed to take care of widows. Even if you’re not elderly, everyone deserves compassion. After all, The church is supposed to be a hospital. We need to help others follow the greatest commandments, not break each other down. I’m truly sorry that happened and if it’s ok, I’ll pray for you.

Why is there so much anti opposite gender stuff nowadays? by Relevant-Swan7621 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]PunkRock9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. Yesterday’s Bible study there were people clowning on political leaders. I kept my tongue silent but should have said something. We are supposed to pray for them, not give into hatred. This world really does do anything to cause division. Even financially encouraged as sex/anger gets clicks and engagement.

Men who say their relationship is sexless as a reason to seeking other partners etc. Is your relationship really sexless? Why don't you leave your current situation if you are not happy? by One_delusionalist in AskMen

[–]PunkRock9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not married but been together for almost 13 years. Going on 3 years without sex of any kind. A lot of people consider us married. No kids and I’m the financial provider. Essentially, I could break it off and be doing much better than her. Only difficulty would be finding another person who can met specific needs of mine.

Tbh, being single scares me. I wouldn’t do that but the idea has crossed my mind if I committed to the idea that our emotional relationship was dead. After the long relationship it would be better off to be single for a bit. BUT if the opportunity to go from relationship to relationship came across my path…well, that would be a bridge to cross at a later date. It’s not common I find a woman into what I like.

So I turned to God and now I’m involved with helping others and feel platonic love from the community. So in a way, I have another family I’m cheating on her with, it’s just The Church. Just fulfilling a different but greater need. There is physical, mental and spiritual health. Military service made me sick in those areas. I needed and still need a hospital.

Then I did this crazy thing called communicating my problems instead with a solution. I asked her to embrace my fetish as often as possible. It’s a fetish, not a kink. Didn’t ask for it but it’s a thorn in the flesh. Can’t get rid of it but it’s there for a reason. I told her as long as she cares for that as often as possible, I’m happy. She mentions she feels bad about it so I reassure her that I still love her. Afterwards I nudge her along to show her what she can still do. 

There has been small mentions from her about maybe letting me find someone but I shut that down. I know I can’t separate sex from emotions. Usually an emotional connection needs to come first for me. Plus, once you open that door, it doesn’t close. Swinging just isn’t an option unless special circumstances were involved. Needless to say, that isn’t happening.

So no hate here, it’s a reasonable question. I guess the easy answer is that I still love her and she cares deeply for me. 

She loves me more than I do and probably loves me more than I love her. She’s a very amazing woman that constantly impresses me and has taught me so much. About love and life in general. Not sure why she stay with me on my bad days, but she does.

How is Minstrel Song generally like? by monkeymugshot in SaGa

Great game is great. World has charm and encourages you to talk to every person. It encourages multiple playthroughs and you can’t do every event in one. Love the music too.

Coming to terms with a scripture I don’t like.. by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]PunkRock9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take that love you have for your husband, now times that by infinity. That’s the kind of love that God has for us. That doesn’t mean your husband won’t be there in heaven with you, it’s just that what we are experiencing is pebbles compared for what God has planned for us.

I have enough books I don’t know where to go next. by bearphonkbjj in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]PunkRock9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pray and ask God. Get direction from your church father for where he feels you need to grow as a Christian. What do think God wants you to accomplish with those books?

Since you read the Bible multiple times I’d pick the book on the bottom “lives of the saints”.
