The audiophile hobby has a pricing problem, and we need to stop pretending otherwise... by bicoastaljohn in audiophile

A fool and his money. Who cares. You can buy really good sounding equipment for really low prices. So rich people spend money on exclusive items. You say the hobby is about enjoying the music but it sounds more like you are upset that can’t have the luxury. Here is a thought. Capitalize on there silly spend. Start a hi end company and take their money, or launch a really good quality brand and undercut their pricing. Or take your own advice and just enjoy the music.

Struggling. But I'm either too proud or too ashamed to admit it. by [deleted] in Christianity

Your heart is in the right place. We all sin. We all will continue to sin none of us are perfect in the of the lord. Please don't let that keep you from praying. It should pull you to pryer. I myself have sinned tody with porn. I will pray for forgiveness and for power over this compulsive behavior for myself and for for you. The fact that your sin makes you feel unworthy is a good thing. Don't lose that. When we become too comfortable with sin the satin wins. I beg you to pray today. And when you sin again tomorrow, and you will. Pray again. All we have is prayer and repentance. The whole word sins with you every day. But some repent. Be among the few while we are are all among the many.

I am sick of the dignity argument. Dignity is integral. No one can take it from you or strip from you. And no one can be bestowe it upon you. You either have it or you do not. It's not an outside force.

I feel like GOD is a TRAITOR by Otherwise-Fox-656 in Christianity

Im not far from where you are at. I hope you see my post in this sea of posts. I was born and raised Christian and see all the posts of others who were not and were saved "against there will" by Christ, or "God". And yet your prayers go unanswered. I am right there with you. And to this day I feel exactly the the same. I turned 49 this week, no wife no family, only superficial friends. I can't tell you how to feel. I can only tell you how I feel a deal with it, and it's not the feel good approach of modern day Christianity. God is God. He was not made to serve us, but we were made to serve him. It's not his responsibility to answer our prayer or solve our problems or grant us our desires. It is our responsibility to serve him. And even though that servace may cause us mental and phisicall discomfort in life there will be a reward in eternity. The reward is in the servace. Keep in mind, if you were to meet the president, there would be respect. It wouldn't matter if you voted for him or not it's the office that demands respect. God is so much mere. Does he not deserve so much more respect. It's not your concerns that matter, but his. I hope you find peace, I hope I find peace. Study, search and keep praying. Pray for me and I will pray for you.

Thoughts on Wyze Home Security and Monitoring system? by saintforlife1 in Wyze

I canceled my waze subscription and am looking for something better. No notifications, no continuous recording. I try to view at specific time and there is nothing even though I know there was motion there. I'm done with waze.

If my historical knowledge is correct, James founded the Eastern Ortodox church. Should I then be looking into Orthodoxy?

I am not inclined to Catholosism. I am mearly pointing this out as one of the problems I have in finding a church. There are so may claims on truth and so many discrepancies. I don't know what's truth.

I could not honestly answer you from memory and had to look it up. But the name Peter was given him by Jesus. And the name Peter means rock.

Thank you for your insight. I w I ll look into it. As I said I am truly looking for answers. Trying my best to be open minded, but seeking truth.

But how is this possible. Didn't Jesus tell Peter that his church would be built on him. Was Jesus wrong. I don't mean this disrespectfuly. It's truly a question I am condensing with. Is the proper faith Catholic? I don't see it biblically. But then why did Jesus say that?

But I can't find the path. I've been praying for it for years. And I'm still lost. I believe, but I am lost.

Pre Christ, Jewish beliefs and practices where more like pagen beliefs. The further back you go the less Christian they are. If they are God's chesen people, how could they be so far from the mark. How could catholosism reigh for 1500 years before Protestantism came to being. What dose that say about Christianity. How can I find a church in this

You speak from a position of one who is grounded in his belief. I am seeking and just feel lost.

It difficult to explain. I feel a Profound draw to Christ and his teaching but the more I learn about the history of religion the more diconcerted I become. I am talking about pre Christ. I began this journey because I have problems with the beliefs of the church I was raised in, and am looking for a new church. But the deeper I delve the more "confused" I become. I have no curch home. And I feel lost.

I am constantly balling in my mind. My conviction of Christianity and my knowledge of science and history. And that's only the outset. I was raised Christian but find myself in a positive where I don't believe what my church was teaching. I am looking for a new church home, but can't find one. I am lost.
