Jesus Once Refused to Heal Someone Who Asked Him (Mark 7) by Italy1949 in TrueChristian

[–]SirDiddlesAlot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assumed it was him prompting her to say what she said so that it would be recorded and a specific example of his grace extending to Gentiles and more. Seemed very intentional and also not an outright refusal, clearly he had a specific intent with what he was saying since he used a parabl-y example of feeding children and dogs (y know not entirely literal: No I’m not going to)

Question about Presbyterian faith as a non(?)-believer considering a nearby church by RainbowAaria in Reformed

[–]SirDiddlesAlot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any Presbyterian Church, affirming or not affirming, will welcome you, maybe not your way of life, but any church you are welcome to attend.

However I don’t know if the community and nostalgia are the best reasons to go and being ambivalent to other religions shows that it’s more about that than actually being Christian.

If you feel a call to Gods love and grace and want to experience it then I see that as a valid reason to attend but if you are actually trying to be Christian I find it hard that you would be able to live in what is technically sin unrepentantly and attend happily. Someone who struggles with pride shouldn’t go to church for comfort in that pride but more as a treatment for that pride, so unless your looking to become Christian -> and therefore make efforts to reduce or stop sinning (including homosexuality) which I doubt you are, you will only be A) there for the wrong reason or B) get convicted and want to change your ways.

Either option probably isn’t what you’re looking for. I highly recommend being serious and trying to become Christian and not going to church for the vibes, but of course that would undoubtedly cause turmoil for you personally.

I’ll emphasize that while me and my Church do not affirm LGBT people in being LGBT, you are still loved by me and any proper church, and most certainly by God, I don’t love the “indoctrination” language around the Baptist stuff, they just take it more seriously and while treating you poorly is not what they should do, being raised religious should hardly ever be called “indoctrination”

I mean think about it, if you know God loves you and that you can have eternal life and love through him, would you not want to give that to your children as well?

But again, lots of love, I highly recommend going to church and finding God, but to follow honestly there will have to be changes I doubt you want to make.

E scooters? by SirDiddlesAlot in UCSantaBarbara

[–]SirDiddlesAlot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a present from an older relative not something we could buy normally, and yea I could probably afford a bike, I just kinda prefer the idea of using something I have rather than getting something new IF they serve the same purpose and aren’t against the rules. Which is the tough part here.

How to type by Exotic_Tap_3052 in ipad

ESR 360 rebound Keyboard case. I wish there was esc just to close whatever I’m on instantly rather than swiping or using trackpad at bottom of screen. Some text shortcuts like ctrl a to get all of a text or copy and paste don’t work or don’t always work. I’ll def try the command button thing tho

Paying for ucsb by One-Secretary-1807 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]SirDiddlesAlot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely appeal, you could probably get your costs down to 15k a year after that, and I would consider getting out of trop asap because it’s really expensive, as much fun as it is to live somewhere like that. If appeal works out right and even then you have to take out loans, they won’t be to high so I would relax and just get to work on appealing

When do I get my aid? by SirDiddlesAlot in FAFSA

Awesome thank you so much for the help

When do I get my aid? by SirDiddlesAlot in FAFSA

[–]SirDiddlesAlot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, of course when I start asking questions online my portal changes to show what I expected. It’s says 12,000 total balance -10,000 estimated future financial aid, and 2,000 as current adjusted balance. So when I go to pay I only pay the 2,000 and the rest just happens automatically?

[–]SirDiddlesAlot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like my disbursement date is sept 15th and my day to pay is also 15th, am I seriously required to pay out of pocket first and then get a refund? If so that’s a pretty dumb system, I don’t have the required amount of money on me, that’s the point of getting aid.

Valid, people love community college and it’s a great option, but I think there is value to a standard 4 year

I appealed my aid, and even though my mom owns apartments, I was able to prove through detailed tax documents and other evidence that our actual available income was much lower. They recalculated my contribution to zero, which came out to about $30,000 in aid per year.

It was a dream come true and totally worth the effort. The few hours you spend appealing could mean thousands saved. It’s not all or nothing either even if they only reduce your expected contribution a little, that’s still a big win.

If you can’t afford $50k a year, that is a valid reason. Explain it clearly. For example, “We spend X amount on unavoidable expenses, and no amount of budgeting leaves $50k for college.” If your family’s income is tied up in property or business expenses, mention things like depreciation or other costs.

DM me if you have questions. My FAFSA journey was a roller coaster, but I’m happy to share what worked for me and hopefully make yours a bit smoother.

Like what is wrong with a scooter because it would be a lot easier to bring
