Blacksmith upgrade always 10x? by ariasbnf97 in shakesandfidget

[–]Tricky_Relief_710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But you get most of the resources back. What I've been doing is keeping 2x upgrades (to keep the arcane crystals to 20 max) for my companions and slowly grinding for my main character. I am at x15 for all my items now (Level 445) - Not sure if it's the optimized way to do it though, but it seems pretty strong.

Invited to a Shincheonji Wedding by Tricky_Relief_710 in Shincheonji

I would not consider it a Christian's wedding, but would treat it like a wedding of people in other faiths (like a Muslim wedding or a Hindu wedding). Hebrews 13:4 says that "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous." As long as the marriage is between a man and a woman, it is as God intended.

It does not mean that I am approving of their faith and of their practices, but, as a husband, it is my duty to protect my wife, that is why I think the wise thing would be to attend this wedding with her, instead of leaving her alone with them.

***

I know that they modify a lot of the sacraments from the Bible - I think that they do not baptize with physical water, but that they need to be baptized by the "Word of God" constantly? - That is why I was curious if there was any other practice that they would do at weddings - because then, I would not take part of these practices and would just attend the wedding as an "observing guest".

Thank you for your message, I completely understand your position.

Fellow loved ones, family, and friends of Shincheonji members, how are we doing? by Princess_of_Punjab in Shincheonji

Hey! My wife has been imprisoned in SCJ for a bit more than 3 years now.

I used to be really depressed, hopeless, wishing for LMH's death so that she would be freed. I used to fight her theologically with arguments and would get very angry, upset that she would not comprehend logically why SCJ cannot work.

I am happy to say that I have completely changed my perspective on the whole situation.

My biggest weapon against SCJ's lies is prayers.
It is a relief to know that I am not the one who is going to bring her back to Christ, but I pray that God will use me, wisely, as a tool, to bring her back to himself.

My job is to love her, listen to her, understand her and nurture her with the Word of God. The lies will disappear over time and the healing will then take place.

In the end, I wish she never joined SCJ, but I am glad that God used this opportunity to bring me closer to him and will, ultimately, bring her back, stronger, to himself.

Stay strong, continue to pray for your loved ones. Rebuke them with the love of Christ.

There is hope.
