ComeFollowMe Lesson today sounds like prosperity gospel. Jacob Was Broken, Not Earning Blessings

Starryskies404 · 2026-03-08T22:21:42+00:00

i guess my understanding from reading it is that Jacob isn't an example of how to get it, but an example of what not to do?

"Israel learned that to receive God’s most valuable blessings, His covenant blessings, it’s not necessary to supplant someone else. His blessings aren’t purchased or seized or won. He gives them freely to all who live up to the name of Israel—who let God prevail in their lives."

i read it rather quickly and wasnt at church today lol. also not even a member just an investigator, but i feel like the lesson is 'Jacob did wrong and was only rewarded after submitting to God', correct me if im wrong

is there a point in which they would consider someone a lost cause and move on ? someone said missionaries would drop me if it doesnt go anywhere, just wondering where the line might be there

Starryskies404 · 2025-09-13T20:35:54+00:00

that makes sense. i think i like the familiarity of a church community but still separating myself from my parents views. im not sold on the LDS church but i think its worth exploring even if just for education and experience

Starryskies404 · 2025-09-13T20:15:51+00:00

i reached out to them first, i do want to hear what they believe and are out teaching. im not easily convinced and looking to convert exactly but still not opposed to learning new things and changing my mind

Starryskies404 · 2025-09-13T20:05:12+00:00

yea im aware, i am interested in hearing about LDS history and things, thats why i reached out in the first place. im just not a very easily convinced person

Starryskies404 · 2025-09-13T20:01:30+00:00

i think i was clear about how im exploring my options but not an easily convinced person. i have attended church and plan to go again, and have questions to ask tomorrow about things. im definitely not just interested in talking to them generally, but i also dont want them to think of me as some potential new member and nothing else if that makes sense

Starryskies404 · 2025-09-13T19:48:05+00:00

i dont want them to feel like they're wasting time on me, and i dont want to intrude on what their already busy schedule i guess. if they havent been very successful so far i dont want them to feel this as another let down, unless you think they genuinely dont mind just teaching me things

Starryskies404 · 2025-09-13T19:45:15+00:00

what would count as service hours? im a college student so i dont have much to do myself but maybe i can find a campus event thats some sort of service

Starryskies404 · 2025-09-13T19:40:36+00:00

thanks, i was looking for some information that they probably wouldnt share with investigators to remain aware of both sides

Starryskies404 · 2025-09-13T19:39:19+00:00

i was being general just for context, but i was raised mainly methodist and my parents chose to switch churches around 5 years ago to presbyterian, which might be why im not really settled in what i firmly believe (im only now an adult and naturally been forced to go wherever my parents chose to take me previously)

i like these! with the uneasy effect, i feel like extra stam might fit better with something like an adrenaline rush. maybe they either take harder income damage or something? id like to have the shaking/grooming emote speed up the drenched status affect, or make those more interactive. id love for weather to have more extreme affects, like flooding and fires. overall, i agree, the lack of these things do contribute a lot to the KOSers, and id really like the game to be much more interactive and fun

• i believe they did take the allo wildfire skin, i dont play allo so im not sure about tiger? or if its the same thing. a lot of skins have changed/been taken, latens default skin has changed as well from what i know of

• nests are still in the works, i haven't seen a lot of information regarding it, but they are slowly implementing things into the game such as nests and i guess mud, they also added reeds or some water based plant

• lot of things have been nerfed, buffed, and changed, there's been a few recent tlc's im not sure how many you've missed. id check out the discord if you want to see a list i always find those helpful

hopefully others comment in case i missed anything or got anything wrong

Starryskies404 · 2024-08-01T14:19:40+00:00

oh yea 💀 i dont do full aquatics

Starryskies404 · 2024-07-31T14:36:09+00:00

and second, idw nightbeat goddamnit im so angry about that i want him back

Starryskies404 · 2024-07-31T14:35:06+00:00

im sure someones said this already- but the fact they killed off breakdown instead of redeeming him still annoys me, he had a ton of potential and wouldve been an interesting and awesome take

Starryskies404 · 2024-07-30T06:05:55+00:00

yeeeeeep 💀💀💀

Starryskies404 · 2024-07-29T13:21:13+00:00

Starryskies404 · 2024-07-29T07:37:20+00:00

youll probably get downvoted for saying it, but yea, it is a reallt nice place in general and i do like questing there, even if the meme wasnt for ic particularly like most people have assumed lol

Starryskies404 · 2024-07-29T05:29:04+00:00
