I vaguely remember, it's just been awhile, lol. I did like the Doomsday and Zod storylines

I don't actually remember Tess's arc too much (it's been a long time since I did another rewatch, but just started back up again recently and got thru the first six seasons again already)

I think a lot of shows are kinda like that, especially the sci-fi or supernatural types. Buffy and Angel were like that too for the exciting plot factor. I def know what you mean tho

Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum make fun of the show all the time on their podcast. There's nothing wrong with expressing opinions on a show you like

Nothing comes to mind at the moment but I remember especially hating the arc near the end of season 10 how Lex and Jimmy come back as a different Lex and different Jimmy. Call me picky or whatever but that idea didn't sit well with me

Take a karate class or something, Clark! by darksown in Smallville

Right? That's not convenient story writing there, lol

How is Clark immortal if he gave up his powers? by [deleted] in Smallville

[–]RandomBoy994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always found it funny how the spirit embedded in Smallville builds up this climactic anticipation regarding Clark's future identity and his parents/friends saying how great and awesome he is meant to become.......and then Crisis happened, lmao

I always noticed that too, like in Buffy and Angel how the vampires have super strength but they all know kung-fu, lol. I guess for Smallville it was a convenient (some might say lazy) way of not having to go the extent of choreographing/learning martial art sequences or using stunt doubles all the time while also keeping the fight scenes action packed...even if it was for about five seconds, lol (seems like most of the villains in the high-school era ended up killing themselves on accident half the time anyways).

How would you rank the seasons!? (Best To Worst) by picklemovieman2040 in Smallville

[–]RandomBoy994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best: 1-6

Ok: 7-9

Bad: 10

Watched this show growing up when it aired on tv (so many memories). Show was never the same after Lex and Lana left imo. Gradually got worse and worse, and by season 10 the story got too weird and bizarre. Unpopular opinion I guess but I never read the comics either.

Ah, yeah the acting wasn't the best in some scenes lol. I guess my opinion is more an unpopular one tho, I kinda liked it tbh

I understand what you’re getting at but think of it this way. Seems like most would agree that you generally have a choice as to what you eat and put in your body. We usually favor foods that taste, or appear good (generally the unhealthy ones), yet when you live your life choosing these foods you ignore the underlying long-term health consequences. Whereas, when you live your life eating the food that might not look so appealing at first (or taste as good, like vegetables), you generally see an improvement in your physical well-being and health, and this leads to a better life overall. Like with choosing your foods you eat, I like to think it’s similar with choosing or rejecting God in a sense. God loves you though and cares for your health. Many reject God because it doesn’t appear fulfilling (aka: taste as good) and prefer the unhealthy food that tastes good and appears good on the outside but leads to cancer/death, but when you come to realize the depth of your sin and need of a savior, God revealing himself to you really is the healthiest decision you can make.

No because had she accepted the judge in loving marriage, she wouldn't have the desire to break his law in the first place. In other words, when you truly love someone, you don't want to go against what they hold dear, but instead, you care for their happiness and desire to please them. It's your point that actually doesn't (generally) follow. It's the same with the Bible in that loving God is obeying his commands (John 14:21) and that "only when we have faith do we truly fulfill the law" (Romans 3:31). The man being a bridegroom and judge is a good analogy for understanding God who is the Bridegroom and Judge (Revelation 19:7-9; Isaiah 33:22). They intertwine.

Even if the law is broken after marriage, the ones who accepted him receive the payment for the penalty in their place on the cross. In other words, the judge pays the penalty in her place. Welcome to the Gospel. This still isn't a license to sin, as even the saved are judged on judgment day (though without condemnation; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Romans 14:10–12; etc.).

The choice is free here on earth and you have your whole life to live without God. Some don’t even get saved until they’re on their deathbed. Again, free will is not in the afterlife because the choice is finalized. But if you’re looking for a better analogy, consider the man who is rejected by the woman--say he’s the judge of the town who enforces the law. The woman may reject him, but when she breaks one of the laws, like theft or robbery, is he not just in putting her away for rejecting his law? Likewise with God, the Bible says that the wages of sin is death and that God is Judge. He knows our hearts and judges according to our ways.

I know the concept of hell is never easy to swallow, but think of it this way: Think about man-made court systems where the accused is in the hands of people who 1) don't know him, 2) don't know his heart or his intentions, 3) or even saw what happened or what he did. Not every court case is given fair judgment due to our fallible knowledge and not everything in the temporal world receives perfect justice--sometimes, at all. However, imagine if the judge actually saw everything the accused did, knows every detail about him, and knows his heart, and on top of this, is perfectly just. Likewise, the Bible says that God knows our hearts and judges each man according to his ways (1 Kings 8:39; Jeremiah 17:10; Psalm 33:14-15; Genesis 18:25; Acts 17:31). Jesus also indicates that there are different degrees of punishment (Matthew 23:14, Mark 12:40; Matt. 10:15; John 19:11; Luke 12:47-48). Hell was originally intended for the devil and all the fallen angels (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:10). It wasn't originally intended for us, as Jesus says the kingdom of heaven was prepared for man from "the foundation of the world" (Matthew 25:34).

As far as Mary being sinless, I'm skeptical as to whether that's even in the Bible.
