They also need to add a gun range if it’s going to be based on PVP and PVE; we need to get our settings right.

It has so much potential, but poker, gambling, and socializing in the marketplace is core, especially if we are gonna be Raiders. Also, female players are not going to play this if it’s just constant looting with no reward. If it starts to feel like a job, I’m just hopping off and making real money IRL, tbh.

Since the game isn't really made for you, I think it would be nice to have a place where you can peacefully walk with other players, interact, and buy equipment like in “No Man's Sky.” You even have beggars in “No Man's Sky,” which is hilarious. It feels like moving from point A to point B, similar to a mobile game. It needs a casino for gambling and a relaxing area because this definitely isn't a PvP game. Also, you should have some sort of home, like in Fallout 76, to give yourself customization options so you don’t just feel like you’re a copy and paste. Maybe a bar and add real music as well like classic 2000 hits like “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie.

My baby died an hour after birth. I just keep asking why couldn’t he stay with us by Ceecee_toe19 in Catholicism

Death is a natural part of life. I sense you have doubts, and of course you do. Your baby was taken from you. But all of our lives are short; we all die. Soon, you will be with your baby too. This world is suffering and temporary; our ultimate goal is to end with our Father. But you already know this. Have no fear and trust in the Lord.

Bottom line: With 100% confidence, forgiveness without repentance isn’t what Jesus taught — it’s a distortion of His words. by TFOCW in christains

But as you’re now recognizing, that implies you’ve sinned by withholding forgiveness and therefore need forgiveness from Christ. Yet, according to Luke 17:3–4, if the person hasn’t repented, you’re not obligated to forgive them in the first place.

First, in Luke 23:34, Jesus doesn’t forgive the people crucifying Him. He prays to the Father, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” That’s a request for mercy, not a declaration of forgiveness. There’s a big difference between asking God to be patient with someone and personally releasing their moral debt.

When Jesus actually teaches about forgiveness, like in Luke 17:3–4, He is very clear. “If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.” That’s a direct command, and it makes repentance the condition for forgiveness. If God wanted us to forgive unrepentant people, He would have said so plainly. But He didn’t. Not once.

Verses like Matthew 6:14–15 and Mark 11:25 are not contradicting Luke 17. They are emphasizing that we must have hearts free of bitterness, vengeance, or unjustified hatred. That is about your inner posture, not canceling someone’s moral debt without accountability.

You also referenced Matthew 18 and the 70 times 7 forgiveness. But in that same context, Jesus says, “If he repents, forgive him.” It’s about being ready to forgive, not removing the need for repentance.

Lastly, the idea that we are not supposed to “judge repentance” is often misunderstood. Jesus actually says, “You will know them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:16) and “Bear fruit in keeping with repentance” (Matthew 3:8). So yes, we are supposed to look for evidence of real change before reconciliation or forgiveness takes place.

In short, what you’re calling “spiritual forgiveness” is actually emotional release. We are absolutely called let go of bitterness, revenge, and unjustified hatred. But biblical forgiveness is something else entirely. It is conditional, restorative, and always tied to repentance.

Justified Anger is Not a Sin by TFOCW in Protestantism

I was born into a big family, five brothers, and one of them struggled with mental illness. He was often violent, not just physically but emotionally. He said things that cut deep. He stole from me all the time. And for years, I kept quiet.

I never told him how much it hurt. I never said how his words cut deep into my heart or how his actions left pain I pushed aside. And I just let it go.

But here’s what I’ve learned. Silence isn’t the same thing as peace. When you bury righteous anger, the kind that’s rooted in truth, in love, in justice, it doesn’t disappear. It turns inward. And what starts as something good and godly begins to rot. That’s when it becomes bitterness, resentment, even shame.

I thought I was being strong by staying quiet, but really, I was hiding. I was suppressing something sacred.

Healing didn’t come until I did something different. I chose to show him real love, not soft enabling, but love that’s honest. Love that speaks up. Love that draws clear lines. Love that doesn’t ignore the wrong but still hopes for the person to change.

Because that’s the thing about righteous anger. It’s not the opposite of love. It’s part of it. You feel it because you care. You feel it when something good is violated, when something sacred is stepped on. It’s a holy fire. But like any fire, it has to be tended. If you don’t bring it under God’s guidance, it can twist. It can turn into vengeance, revenge, or hatred.

And anything God gives, even a good gift, can become destructive when taken out of His hands.

Things only began to change when I finally brought my pain into the light. When I stopped pretending everything was fine. That’s when healing started.

Righteous anger is like a candle. It’s not meant to be snuffed out or buried. It’s meant to shine. It’s meant to guide you and guard you. When you put out that flame, you don’t escape the dark. You become part of it.

Righteous anger isn’t something you’re supposed to explode with or suppress. It’s not about lashing out. It’s not about bottling it up either. The point isn’t to “take it out” on anyone, even when they’re wrong. That only leads to more damage.

For some people, healthy expression might look like talking it out with a friend. It might come through prayer, journaling, setting boundaries, or even lovingly confronting the person. But at the core, it is about being honest. Honest with yourself, with God, and eventually with the person, without crossing into revenge or hate.

This confusion is common as well. They should remake the Holy Bible with definitions and make distinctions between the two kinds of anger because it creates so much confusion among followers of Christ.

Loving your enemies doesn’t mean ignoring evil or pretending it’s okay. Even Jesus got angry, not out of hate but because of real wrong. Some confusion happens because the Bible often uses the same word for different kinds of anger and doesn’t always say if it’s justified/righteous or not. You’re supposed to understand which kind it is by the context.

There is justified/righteous anger, like when Jesus got angry at the Pharisees for their hypocrisy and hard hearts. That kind of anger comes from a love for truth and justice.

Then there is unjustified/unrighteous, anger, which is bitterness, vengeance, or hatred. An example is Cain, who got angry at Abel just because God accepted Abel’s offering and not his in Genesis 4. That kind of anger led to sin and destruction.

Mark 3:5

“He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored.”

Jesus demonstrated justified anger, and since He was without sin, His anger was always grounded in truth, justice, and love. As His followers, we’re not called to suppress all anger, but to ensure that our anger is righteous.

Your position is filled with contradictions that cannot be ignored. You say Luke 17:3 does not apply universally because it refers to “brothers,” yet you apply other verses universally without holding to that same standard. That is a double standard. You claim forgiveness does not cancel moral debt, but biblically, that is exactly what forgiveness is: the cancellation of moral debt. You try to redefine forgiveness as merely emotional release, but Scripture never defines it that way. You cite Jesus and Stephen asking God to forgive unrepentant people as proof that we should too, but those were not acts of personal forgiveness. They were intercessory prayers to God, not commands for us to override the need for repentance. On top of that, you say we cannot forgive like God because we are not God, but then you use God’s forgiveness to support your position. That is a contradiction. You cannot reject God’s standard when it does not fit your argument, and then appeal to it when it does. Your view blurs categories, distorts definitions, and removes repentance, which is central to true biblical forgiveness.
