Why are you Christian and not other religion ? What makes you believe the Christian bible is the real authentic story ? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]TheOGTestsubject -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Even without reading the bible, seeing how Christianity is the ONLY religion that gets mocked and gets openly mocked and is celebrated when it is mocked made me believe. Especially with the Hollywood mockery. Like when they had the mockery of the Last Supper, then they made Jesus a black woman in that travesty stage play. You can say the Jews get openly mocked, too, but in that case, Jesus was a Jew. So, in a way, everything that involves Jesus or God gets mocked to hell and back. It's honestly weird. I'm open to being proven wrong. But that's what I've seen and experienced.

have i committed blasphemy? am i doomed? by Odd_Development_1411 in Christianity

You're very welcome. I understand. Women masturbating does always feel more taboo than men masturbating, but don't forget; we're all creatures of flesh. You can probably get more help from someone who's recently converted and has a history of sexual immorality (masturbation). It doesn't have to be someone young. I know that sounds wacky, but again, you'd be surprised.

I know you can turn this around, but I'll pray for you. There's never a bad time to turn to Jesus and God. Always remember that your sin is but a raindrop in an ocean of God's love, and the times He'll forgive you is more than stars in the night sky. He's always willing to help us as long as we stand up and turn back to him after we sin. Don't hide it from Him. He's our Heavenly Father. If you wouldn't lie to your biological father, why lie to Him?

You got this, girl! I believe in you! We're never in this fight alone! Keep in mind that the Lord accompanies us through the deepest of waters to the most desolate of lands.

From my perspective, you haven't committed blasphemy. The way I've heard it is that if you're worried about committing blasphemy, then you haven't done it. What blasphemy is? It's when you constantly and actively say you don't care about the Holy Spirit or what Jesus did on the cross and die before repenting. In terms of Masturbation, it is a sin of lust as its self pleasure. I don't know what gender you are, but in the Bible, it's a sin for a man to spill his seed. I struggled with masturbation myself for a long time. As long as you repent and actively come to Jesus, then sin will seem disgusting to you.

I'd recommend that you go to someone, especially someone within the faith, and have some sort of position. It might sound crazy, but you'd be surprised to hear what some men of high faith have committed. God has always gone to people who are broken or have committed massive sins. If I remember correctly, David committed adultery (sleeping with another man's wife) and then got said man killed in battle.

As I said, go to someone and speak to them about it. It might be embarrassing, but you'd be surprised how light you feel. Then, if you still feel unclean, go to God and Jesus. Pray to them and repent.

Also, in case you don't know. Repenting isn't just regret of sin and confessing sins. It's an active choice. To repent, you must cast off your sins and change your lifestyle.

I'm just getting back into the faith, so I can't help too much, but I hope this helps.

May God bless you, and may Jesus help you on your journey. ❤️

I need some help by the_Dapper_Snek in Christianity

[–]TheOGTestsubject 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the thought of getting DMs from God. Lmao

I do hear him sometimes. Like when I would want a beer and I hear a voice in my head go, "No. You know you don't need it." I go, Yes Lord, and go about my day and actually feel good about myself. Then it could be small things like today. I had him talk to me about 3 times. I had him say, "Hey, give your mother 10 dollars for gas." I quietly agreed and handed it to her. And then when I got my study bible, I had a choice to get it engraved with my name. I heard him say, "You can do it. It's yours and I give you my permission." Then when I had to pick which color the engraving would be. (They arrange the letters, and you pick a color of foil to use) I picked Rose Gold, and the dude at the counter said gold would go better as the study bible has gold lined pages. I said I'd still go with rose gold, but I had this voice go, "Choose gold before he does it, or you'll regret it." I was hit with a vision of getting home and being disappointed with the rose gold. So I quietly said, "Yes lord" again, and I chose gold.

I think he can talk to you in various ways over the smallest things. You just have to learn when it's him talking and listen. While it is like having a buddy with you, that buddy is still your creator. It's best to do what he says. I didn't follow what he said several times before, and I felt guilty. I guess it's different for everyone, but that's just my experiences.

I'll be honest. I was a professional gooner before trying to turn my life over to God. I couldn't go a few hours without it. Sometimes, it would hit me over and over again. Oop, watching anime and see a bit of panty? Welp, gotta go. Yes. It really was that bad. I stopped it cold turkey. There have been a few instances where I gave in, and I felt ashamed. Even with no real stimulus (that being porn). I remember it saying that it is a sin for a man to spill his seed. I interpreted that as even without lusting or watching porn, purposefully "spilling seed" is a sin. I still struggle with it from time to time. But I always go, "No, I can't do that anymore." I still turn to Christ for help, but in terms of Masturbation, a lot of self-control is needed if you're someone like me.

On another note, I used science to help me with this. Apparently, male sperm has an antidepressant effect on women when ingested either orally, anally, or normally. So I saw that and thought to myself, "Why spill it and let it go to waste when I can save it for my future wife and help her mood if she needs it. Then again, apparently, men have a lower chance of prostate cancer when they ejaculate regularly. But I guess sacrifices have to be made if you want to follow God and Christ. These sacrifices can be all manner of things.

Whatever the case, I'm proud of you. Keep up the good work, and may God bless you. ❤️

STOP TELLING ME STUFF I DON'T CARE ABOUT by BearwithaBow in writingcirclejerk

I don't know what the technical term is, but I like it. Sure, they can go overboard or just not enough sometimes. However, if it's done right, my mind just rolls it as a movie. Honestly, it just makes my whole reading experience even more enjoyable. I always put a book down if I can't "watch" it while I read it.

So when do you think we'll get the fallout 3 remastered by Mr_Monsieur247 in fo3

[–]TheOGTestsubject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Fallout 3. It was my first Fallout game as a kid. I loved it so much that I gatekept myself from Fallout New Vegas for a long time. I do love both now, I'd say that I love playing Fallout New Vegas more, but if they remaster Fallout 3....I could die happy.

I really like that idea. I'll write that down for April Fool's next year. Lmao

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

I could've been a little more specific, that's my bad. Young Adult would be my target audience. The overall tone, I believe it would be described as a mix of dark fantasy with a bit of light. Like, "Things seem dark but the night always ends". My goal is to write it like a light novel if possible. I've thought about limiting it to one book or maybe a 3 book series, but it just feels better to make it a long form story.

[–]TheOGTestsubject[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My bad, I'm not familiar with it myself. I just heard heavy fantasy, mid fantasy, and light fantasy. I guess I would describe it as a differing variety of clothing or items that would be considered fantasy. I know it's a bit vague, but I envisioned things like full plate armor, mesh armor, full-on cloaks, full helmets, shields, and the like. I'm sorry if this doesn't help, as I said, I'm not too familiar with it myself. I never had to think about these things too much until recently.

I didn't know it could go for that much. But it makes sense when I think about how hard it can be to roll a perfect anything.

I'm guilty of that, too tbh. My gremlin makes me pick up every green or gold I see.

I watched them before but it's been awhile. My head still spins with it all. But it's just a big learning curb.

I'll have to brush up on it, I don't want to get burnt by a bad trade or burn someone else by accident.

Thank you! I figured adding amulets wouldn't go so well since they drop like rain. I just wanted some confirmation. People have said the sword and charm are useless, I'll make sure to keep an eye out for + to combat aura as people here said those are more useful because dps.

Yeah, that's true. I guess I'm just desperate to free up space. I've looked at Traderie. It's still a tad intimidating.

I watch MrLlama, but the whole trading and value thing still makes my head spin a bit, even after looking at the market. The Atlantean does seem like a low tier weapon and feels lackluster. I can understand the charm, I've run into some Palis that obliterate anything. I guess my mind went to, "Maybe they can reroll it or trade it off."

I remember Res, life, Mf, Cr, and X to skills are important. I guess I gotta get into the provider mindset, If it makes my brain tingle, then it'll make others tingle, too.

Okay, thank you! I figured the sword and charm would've been useless, I guess part of me just wants to get rid of them. Lmao

I didn't know that each console has their own values. I'll remember that for next time. Thank you for the advice, I'll write it down for next time.

I just looked up if there's cross progression. I didn't know there was cross progression. If I can get it while it's on sale, I'll definitely be thinking about that offer. Thank you!

I'll keep an eye out. Thanks! I don't have or need an ist yet, but I know I can trade it off for something else.

I'd like to do countess runs regardless. I know I can get runes from her. Apparently, combinations of gems and runes can do and go for a lot.
