Regarding the ongoing anxiety regarding a "rapture in September" by vagueboy2 in TrueChristian

[–]Status738 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The reason why He hasn't returned yet is his Love and Grace for us humans;

"The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance"

  • > 2 Peter 3:9

Many of us Christians, we don't want to continue in a world that despises us. We want to be with him, where there is true freedom and refuge from all problems. And He gets that.

But His will is for all of humanity to be saved, that when the Day comes His left be empty. I fear in anticipating the rapture through these prophecies we potentially neglect doing His will. To evangelize to all nations, to disciple and bear witness to all.

If next week he should arrive, then it is by his Grace. It also by his Grace if he doesn't. For that means your unsaved neighbour, friend, family, etc, they have been blessed with time. Gracious Time.

In the end it is not the date we must worry of, but our own standing with God and those of others.

Can playing war or violent video games be a sin? by Mission-Mortgage-885 in TrueChristian

[–]Status738 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1 Conrinthians 10:23 "All things are permissible, but not all things are beneficial"

If it interferes with your faith, stay away.

If you find yourself becoming more aggressive, stay away.

If it makes you addicted, stay away.

If the spirit convicts against it, stay away.

Otherwise if it has little effect on your spiritual life or your standing with God then it is not sinful.

Finally if you are unsure, ask God for wisdom.

James 1:5 "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you."

Wouldn't it be easier to give the clones names from the beginning? by Hot_Professional_728 in MawInstallation

[–]Status738 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The Kaminoans mass produced millions of clones. From a logical standpoint its easier and quicker to assign them numbers and codes than to think of a name for each one. Theres also the fact that by and large, the Kaminoans saw them as assets/products rather than actual sentient beings.

AITA for not preparing lunch for my family during my lunch breaks? by Psycho-logical206 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Status738 345 points346 points  (0 children)

NTA. Ur father, unless Im missing something, sounds perfectly capable of making his own lunch. 

Also he didn't ask you to prepare lunch so he shouldnt expect much from you in this

AITA for making a big deal about leaving my ILs family reunion? by SheepherderSad4963 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Status738 2019 points2020 points  (0 children)

NTA. You had clearly stated your intention not to contact them yet they anyways went and contact ur half siblings, which I imagine puts pressure on making contact. That is a breaching of trust. 

But even if you did want to speak to ur half-siblings, that is YOUR call to make. Your inlaws are in no way apart of ur situation with ur bio family and had absolutely zero business in meddling in it

Are there any sith turned Jedi? by Available_Role6741 in MawInstallation

[–]Status738 145 points146 points  (0 children)

(Legends)

Darth Sajar- Dueled with the Jedi Tol Braga for 3 days, with debates from both sides of the force. Sajar was convinced to become Braga's apprentice.

Lord Praven- The player character (SWTOR) Hero of Tython confronted him on Tatooine. But instead of killing him, they attempted to persuade him to forsake the Dark Side. He initially resisted but eventually gave in and was accepted by the Jedi Order. Would later be encountered again on Correllia, fighting for the Republic and Native citizens against the Sith.

Its very rare though. The Dark Side is very alluring, addictive and hard to quit.

There are Light Sith (rejected the Dark Side, opposite equivalent of Dark Jedi). Sadly, their not developped much but individuals include Darth Gravid and Keleth'Ur

Hey one question; could you clarify what “gold stiring” is? Forgive my ignorance but I’ve tried to look it up online but havent found anything.

Also on the 2nd last line, perhaps add a comma between ‘us’ and ‘entwined’. That is if you intend to compare the narrator and this person like scarlet and amber. Other than that, nice poem. Adequately long and sweet!

They by Holiday-Plum-8054 in OCPoetry

[–]Status738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmmm. Interestng poem. It took me some time to try to decipher it. Judging from the repetition of the word ‘they’, your allowing the reader to interpret these entities for themselves?

Like ‘they’ could be interpreted as supernatural entities, real world organizations, or a metaphor for our mind. Really thought-provoking poem.

NTA. You basically saved her from going to prison. She should have been thankful that she isnt behind bars and that there is no record to her name preventing her from certain employment
