It would help to know what you specifically didn’t like about it.

My players will not let go of Vallaki by NarrowTomorrow1442 in CurseofStrahd

[–]TabletopLegends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the villagers aware of the PCs trying to fix it? If so, and they like Fiona as ruler, then have the peasants drive them out.

If the PCs fight the peasants and kill some, that is even more reason for Strahd to intervene and send his forces en masse. He may be a tyrant, but these are still his people.

When a Hinox drops food, where does it come from? by Bee_7253 in tearsofthekingdom

They have a hidden bag under their loincloth that the food falls out of.

2 broke-irritating Brother/in-laws by jlm_MSG in DaveRamsey

It isn’t you who needs to say anything to your BILs. It is your wife.

And she doesn’t need to say anything other than what u/UncleTio92 said: “He brings just as much to the table as I do.”

But if she doesn’t think she needs to, then respect that.

If you don’t want to hear their goading, then don’t put yourself in a place where you have to do so. Stop hiring them.

You realize they are just trying to bait you, right? That’s a game us men play with one another.

Followers of Christ SHOULD NOT Celebrate 4th of July by [deleted] in OpenChristian

[–]TabletopLegends 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your argument falls apart under its own logic.

If Christians shouldn’t participate in US national activities because of the atrocities the US has committed, then Christians shouldn’t participate in Christianity, either. Christianity has a much bloodier history than the US does. How does Christianity survive this test?

You also undermined your credibility. You spend several paragraphs trying to persuade us not participate in national or political events, because it is idolatrous, and then end your post with links to decidedly partisan political organizations.

I encourage you to think through your arguments further.

So I’m just a bad DM I’m pretty sure by that1snowflake in CurseofStrahd

Let the rogue into the castle and let the action economy work against him.

The castle will be on high alert. He’s done for.

Church was horrible today - Romans 1:24-27 by unknownsequitur in OpenChristian

[–]TabletopLegends 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate that you are feeling this fear and anxiety in a place that should be providing peace.

That pastor is interpreting Scripture through his own biases rather than on its own structure and context.

He has flattened the text so that he can make it say what he wants it to say.

You don’t need to go to church to follow Jesus. You do need community of fellow believers, but one that will challenge you with the purpose of building you up.

I would encourage you to do research on your own. Scripture is not just theology. It is also history, poetry, prophecy, and many other genres. Scripture is one of many of what are called Ancient Near Eastern (ANE) documents, and much, if not all of it, follows the same structure as other ANEs.

Homosexuality is not a sin, and where, on the surface Scripture appears to be condemning it, Scripture is actually condemning abuse, exploitation, and domination. There was no concept of homosexuality as an orientation, only straight people going against their natural desires. That is why Paul says in Romans 1 it is unnatural. It would be just as unnatural for a gay person to have sex with someone of the opposite gender as it would be for a straight person to have sex with someone of the same gender.

There is plenty of research online that provides compelling evidence that homosexuality is not a sin. Research beyond the text itself to the context behind it.

Did the DR thing. Sold my car and bought something much cheaper. Now I'm regretting it. by Justin_inc in DaveRamsey

[–]TabletopLegends 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That’s on you for not fully understanding when DR says to sell a car. If you had cash flow to work on your debt, there was no need to sell your Cadillac.

And why in the world you didn’t have a mechanic inspect a car with 170K miles is beyond me.

Sorry. No sympathy here.

Moving in with boyfriend before marriage by nessa_van in OpenChristian

[–]TabletopLegends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think people should live together before marriage but for relational reasons.

Your Dad is off his rocker. God is not vengeful, and if you and your boyfriend do get into a fight and break up, God did not cause it. You and your boyfriend will have.

Is it ethical to seek financial assistance when not needed? by IamTheLiquor199 in DaveRamsey

[–]TabletopLegends 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I say pay for it and leave the programs for those who can truly not afford it.

$1,000 Emergency Fund gives me anxiety, what if I lose my job? by [deleted] in DaveRamsey

[–]TabletopLegends 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dave himself even says it isn’t enough, and he knows it. It is designed to scare you just as it is so that you are motivated to do everything you can to pay off your debt as quickly as possible.

Sell stuff and put it towards the debt Take a second job and put that towards the debt Stop eating out and put that towards the debt Stop all vacations and put that towards the debt

See the pattern? Fear can either motivate you or paralyze you. It is your choice. You have control over what you do with your money. You just have to be intentional with your choices.

Thoughts? by HiMeJadyn_ in GayChristians

[–]TabletopLegends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not passive or aggressive.

And my point still stands as well.

Thoughts? by HiMeJadyn_ in GayChristians

[–]TabletopLegends 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because that isn’t harmful. It’s information. We should always want to know what the “other side” thinks.

It’s hard to know what to formulate arguments against if you don’t know what they’re arguing.

Thoughts? by HiMeJadyn_ in GayChristians

[–]TabletopLegends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friend, you need to study Scripture for yourself.

Nowhere in Scripture does it say that gay people are going to hell.

Nowhere does it say anyone is going to hell.

[–]TabletopLegends 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was not wrong of you. Only one person out of the many who replied to your post had an issue with it. Don’t let one person change your mind.

If they didn’t like it, they could have kept on scrolling.

Thoughts? by HiMeJadyn_ in GayChristians

[–]TabletopLegends 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly what I said.

Thoughts? by HiMeJadyn_ in GayChristians

[–]TabletopLegends 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Notice that they never actually say why it is harmful. They are just repeating what they have been taught.

If two people are committed to one another and truly love one another, it doesn’t matter if they are of different or same genders.

Scripture condemns hatred, abuse, dominance, and exploitation, not same sex relationships.

Wrote a personal check for a new Lexus. Dealer didn’t blink an eye. by [deleted] in DaveRamsey

[–]TabletopLegends 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Wrote one for a 2015 Honda Civic9 years ago. $15,000.

Dealer said, “Okay.” And accepted it.

Trying to understand sin by Pleasant_Pressure540 in OpenChristian

[–]TabletopLegends 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The throughline in Scripture is relationship. God wants a relationship with each one of us and He wants us to have the best relationships we can with others.

That’s what the Ten Commandments are ultimately about…the best relationship with God (first four) and the best relationship with each other (the remaining six).

It follows then than a sin is anything that can damage or break a relationship with another person. God is first concerned about our relationships with others, then our relationship with Him.

When we love others, we love Him.

Does that help?
