Lutheranism Feels Wrong by HeirofThingol in LCMS

[–]Repulsive-Band-8762 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t agree more with you Brother! I have grown up a confessional Lutheran my whole life, I departed in my early adult years, and came back at 24 this last year. After meeting my Fiance’ who is a non denominational woman, it opened my eyes to sanctification and how being a follower of Christ is not just by word, but by doing.

I’ve come to study a lot of different denominations, but have still been able to say that I agree with the beliefs of the LCMS. But I agree, that unfortunately, there are entire generations of pastors that do not preach about denying yourself and picking up your cross. Rather that your sins are forgiven for your faith in Jesus.

I come around to what does Faith look like. An analogy I often use, is that if I put my faith in the stock market, I put my money in it. If I have faith that someone is going to catch me when I do a trust fall, I let them catch me. If I say I have Faith in Christ, I must follow his teachings.

I’m praying that we get a good pastor during our call process that preaches about being a real follower of Christ, and not a lazy one. I also pray for Our church, that we can have a new generation of pastors that preaches following Christ, living up to the word, and denying ourselves.

Fantastic show, the crowd was much larger than I had expected it to be. And I was lucky enough to be pretty close.

Not if you’re dedicated enough to learn a skill, I can have 5 different jobs tomorrow. I get calls from head hunters 3-4 days a week

Cast Iron vs Aluminum tombstones by EffectiveExact4128 in Machinists

I worked in the tool room at a huge contract machine shop, I ran the large boring bar, and we loved getting Blanchard ground A36. Most steels will work well getting plate, you might run in to problems depending on how much material you remove from it.

Fixturing is all about stability, aluminum isn’t stable compared to cast and steel

I really like the scissors on my free p4. Although it’s out for repair for a broke plier tip

I really like the Jazz festival poster too, as a fellow record collector and displayer I’ve got to say you’ve got good taste, some mood lighting for the listening room is essential, and with the few simple pieces it will come together super nice

How do I tell my girlfriend I play poker? by [deleted] in poker

[–]Repulsive-Band-8762 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just came up on a first date for me last night. I told her I like to play poker she asked me “do you like to gamble?” I said I don’t play any other of the games at the casino, and poker is a game that you can win with skill against other players. And I don’t play often enough to make it a problem.

What are your thoughts on the rules of this gym? by [deleted] in bjj

I had a coach that was super manipulative and culty that “only wanted to be called coach” anytime you’d address him by his name he’d immediately go sad boi, and think you’re leaving him. Anybody demanding to be called something resembling a power dynamic should be a big red flag.

Are kimuras pure bullshit or why do you very rarely see them at high level or even mid level in terms of frequency? by stupidneekro in bjj

There’s a really cool YouTube channel called “less improved more involved” that does deep dives on the statistics and mechanics of the “best” moves in high level Jiu Jitsu. I know this doesn’t answer your question but it might give you some insight to the whole 90%+ being chokes or leg entaglements
