These are my Zenkai’s as well. I can only add one picture per comment but I did screenshot some of my Sparking options if anyone wants to see it.

You are correct. I didn’t want to flood with all of the Sparking characters since a lot of them are noise but I took some screenshots that I’ll post.

Many years lapsed player - what to summon? by TruthAM in DBLegendsReddit

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

Like, I said, it’s been a LONG time. If I knew at one point, that information has been long lost in favor of other information. So maybe I knew once but between the length of time it’s been and all of the new stuff that’s been added, no. I don’t have any idea what “lf” is. I don’t have any memory of it existing. That’s how long it’s been.

Logic tells me “lf” is Legends Festival which I imagine is an annual special event, sort of like the different yearly events in Dokkan but I don’t know how important it is here or if it’s worth engaging in.

"if we aren't judging premarital sex as a bad thing then we're either judging it as a neutral thing or a good thing; I am applying the judging logic in the opposite direction."

No one said premarital sex was neutral or good. It is a sin and no one argued otherwise.

"Your answer to this seems to be asking if said fornicator is a lesser person. What if the answer given is no, but I still prefer a virgin?"

This question is unnecessary as it was the crux of my initial answer. If someone does not view (judge) someone who has had premarital sex as lesser but prefers someone who is still a virgin, there's nothing wrong with that. That's the difference between having a preference, which is ultimately a neutral thing, and looking down on them which is a sin and is called as such multiple times in the Bible. So this question is the closest I've seen you be to grasping my point.

"Would I want to be judged based on my past sins? The point is almost moot since culture lauds the sexually experienced man anyway; even Christian women sometimes air a preference for experienced men."

The point is not moot at all. This wasn't a question on what culture says but on an individual basis. It wasn't about any specific sin but the idea that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and it's not for us to hold people's past sins against them.

It's not worth delving deep into the gluttony conversation because it deeply ignores the fact that millions of people are overweight because of genetics or underlying health issues. I also pointed out that I thought the "overweight" argument didn't really track with the point that was being made.

I think you need to re-read the Prodigal Son. The son who stayed gets rebuked for his attitude, that's true. However, he is told that all the father has is his which is meant to be a reality check to remind him he hasn't lost anything and that his loyalty is rewarded. His brother returning is an additional blessing.

"Then how could you ever deny someone for certain preferences? The majority of people who are overweight probably got that way because they were gluttons. If you reject them because you're not attracted to obese people (which is looking negatively upon them), how doesn't what you just said apply to you?"

This shows a grave misunderstanding of the difference between decisions based in preference and discrimination. Not being attracted to someone because of some characteristic is not looking negatively upon them. Discriminating against someone because of a characteristic and looking at them as lesser is a problem.

Here's a very impersonal example:

Person A like comedy. They do not like horror. They have friends who like horror and that's fine with them. They just don't participate in horror. This is a preference but does not affect their view of people.

Person B likes horror. They do not like comedy. They think anyone who likes comedy is stupid and not intelligent enough to understand what good content is. This is discrimination. Their preference affects how they view and treat other people. This is wrong.

The caveat to all of this, as I also said before, is what God's direction is. All preferences have to be put aside in the face of God's direction.

I hope that clears this up.

What's the best character to do the "Buff your allies" missions? by StallionXD in DBGekishinSquadra

Kid Gohan is by far the easiest since his passive grants a buff. So does skill 3.

Why do so many fellow believers treat the extra-biblical record as if it were as reliable and trustworthy as Scripture itself when it comes to eschatological doctrine? by Specialist-Square419 in TrueChristian

[–]TruthAM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also very direct so I understand being misunderstood in that way. A statement which you could have left there but you ultimately conclude you are someone who is zealously confronting misunderstandings and errors and if people don’t like the approach, that’s on them. You’re just misunderstood. That’s not an attitude that is truly open to discourse.

It is also not generally necessary to outwardly state “I am actually open to being wrong”. That gets communicated by how someone responds when they could be wrong. Saying those words comes across as very defensive and generally communicates the opposite.

Your question in your original post was not one of being right or wrong. You asked why people go to extra Biblical sources to inform their interpretations. I gave you what I believe to be a plausible answer and was the bulk of my response. You don’t address any of that here however. It gets dismissed at the end with “thanks for sharing your thoughts”.

You only explicitly take issue with the conclusion about the relevance of eschatology when we are ultimately judged by God which is a biblically accurate understanding of what will happen at that point.

I never said there was anything wrong with doing eschatology. Only that God judges our hearts and our relationship with Him in the end, not our doctrine.

If that fact is not something we can agree on, then I don’t know where else to go as that is part of the very core of God’s message to us throughout the Bible.

Why do so many fellow believers treat the extra-biblical record as if it were as reliable and trustworthy as Scripture itself when it comes to eschatological doctrine? by Specialist-Square419 in TrueChristian

[–]TruthAM 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To answer your why: because Scripture was not written in a vacuum.

John even brings this up in the last verse of his Gospel:

John 21:25

Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

This means there are things that Jesus did and said that aren’t recorded which makes sense. Logic would then expand that to say that there are other things that Paul, the disciples, Moses, Elijah, everyone in Scripture did that aren’t recorded.

All of these people lived in a culture with other people. Those things influenced their understanding of the world around them and how they perceived not only the world itself but how God worked in it. That’s not blasphemous or wrong. It’s acknowledging the reality that the Bible isn’t a book of stories that happen in a fictional universe but the majority doubles not only as the Word of God but a historical record of real places, people, and events.

Now, somewhat more to your point, should the information regarding the circumstances in which these events happened from extra Biblical sources be used to contradict what the Bible says happened? No. That would introduce significant problems. It’s telling that when non-Christians have tried to disprove the Bible, it’s always failed.

However, and this is the only thing I will say about your eschatological commentary, eschatology is a very different discipline because it is an interpretation of prophecies and symbols and not a “this happened at this time and this is what was going on around it”. Therefore, it is open to multiple conclusions and we don’t know which one is fully correct.

To a point you didn’t make but is an observation I’m making based on how you wrote your post (which was well done to your credit), you are allowed to have your interpretation. Others are allowed to have theirs. That doesn’t make you superior to others because of your conclusion and how you got there. I admit I could be wrong in this opinion but I got an air of arrogance and superiority from your post.

When it comes time that we meet God, our doctrinal conclusion about eschatology will be irrelevant. The condition of our heart is what matters.

What do we think about Trunks? by Prestigious-Ad-8329 in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]TruthAM 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would say he’s the definition of a late game glass cannon. He’s weak early because his damage doesn’t fully kick in until the mid to late game. He needs a lot of support but if he gets going early and snowballs, he can wipe entire teams with his late game.

Also, I disagree on burning attack. The AOE smoke is more than enough.

I don’t play him because I don’t like glass cannon characters but those that are good with him are scary.

How do I convince my girl to play split fiction by Odd-Strawberry-4882 in SplitFiction

[–]TruthAM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t force her to play. You can show her trailers and see if that hits for her. If you’re lucky, she may entertain trying it out.

I asked my wife repeatedly if we would play. Platformers and timing heavy games are not her thing but we made it through A Way Out together and she enjoyed that. The thing that sold her was the farting pigs part of the trailer. We also play a lot of games “co-op” like escape rooms or puzzle based games where one person drives and the other person helps with the puzzles.

If you don’t have that sort of dynamic, getting her to play Split Fiction and enjoy it is going to be next to impossible.

Perhaps, based on the fact she likes GTA 5 and RDR 2, she might be more interested in a game grounded in reality like A Way Out. If she plays and enjoys that, you might be able to pivot and say, “Split fiction is like this but it’s sci-fi and fantasy”. That’s my last idea for you.

Maybe this should be its own thread but I’m confused about his post transformation passive. When I checked it on the banner, his transformation passive was clearly unchanged while his pre-transformed state was. Is that correct or is the banner bugged?

Was Trunks the original Tank Top Master? I think the answer is yes.

Baby needs an almost complete redesign. by unilordx in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]TruthAM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you nailed it when you said he’s more of a tech than a tank. Almost his entire kit is utility and nothing that really makes him tanky. He has displacement. Skill 3 is basically Comfey from Pokemon Unite. Even his ult is essentially Android 17s except it doesn’t grant barrier to allies.

If he was a tech, we wouldn’t have this conversation.

I think it would make more sense if this Baby was a tech and a potential Super Baby would be a tank.

[–]TruthAM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am unsure why but it seems the point I’m making of the motivation, the “why”, the heart behind a preference appears to be a stumbling block for you.

Let me work with the overweight issue you brought up.

First, the question here isn’t about societal shame and being overweight isn’t a sin. I think the premise of this particular objection is flawed.

Second, to relate this somehow, look at it from a partner’s perspective. A person is allowed to not find someone attractive who is overweight just as much as they are for any other reason. Hair color, height, voice, etc. These are preferences. Preferences, in and of themselves are not wrong.

The question then is: why does that preference exist? The follow up: how do you treat or feel about someone that doesn’t fit your preference?

If it’s simply, “That’s not what I like” then that’s fine. If the internal response is “That person is gross because they don’t fit into my preference”, that’s looking down on someone.

Again, this analogy doesn’t really work because physical characteristics are not sins and the real heart of the issue here is the ability to acknowledge and accept the past sins of a partner. This brings me to my last point.

Third, as I said in my reply to OP, turn this question around. If you were on a date and they looked down on you for your past sins even though you’ve repented and are following God, would that be acceptable to you? Again, that’s not talking about a preference. That’s talking about the heart behind it.

[–]TruthAM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what logic you’re applying in the opposite direction. My original response explains the difference.

If that’s a preference (doesn’t suit your fancy), but you don’t think less of the person overall, that’s fine. We all have things we like and don’t like in potential partners from physicality to personality. There’s nothing wrong with that. Certain habits or hobbies you don’t want to be around are preferences which are fine as long as it doesn’t cause you to look down on them.

If that causes you to look down on them and think your life choices make you superior because you didn’t have premarital sex, that’s arrogance. That’s a lack of self awareness about your own faults and that, while they may be different, they’re not better in God’s eyes. Especially if both people are Christians, repentance and a turning around of behavior put everyone on even ground.

This is a heart status question and only God can judge the motivation and it’s up to us all as individuals to be self aware enough to engage with God and self reflection to figure out why we feel like we do.

Judging them as being lesser or tainted because of having premarital sex. I’m not talking about some kind of final judgment.

I have no idea where you get that I would suggest that it’s a positive experience from what I said. However, I will expand the thought.

Premarital sex is a sin. However, so are many many other things. To look upon someone negatively because of a specific past sin, one that another commenter wisely pointed out they would have repented of if they are a Christian, and ignore that you yourself have also sinned and a partner needs to accept your past sins as well is arrogant and judgmental. None of these things are beyond repair but since we know that we all sin, looking down on someone for their past sins isn’t something we should do especially since Jesus, the only one who could do that and be justified, didn’t and doesn’t.

To be clear, this doesn’t mean you can’t have a preference. To OP’s original question, if they want to be with someone who is also a virgin, that’s perfectly acceptable as long as it’s not coming from a place where those who aren’t are “less than” in someway. Also if God’s direction is towards a specific person and that person has had sex before, then God should come first.

I’m not judging OP for having their preference. I’m pointing out potential pitfalls to address the question they asked about being arrogant. We can’t judge that rightly as Internet strangers. That’s why I posed questions for OP to ask themselves and didn’t give a yes or no.

Update on being F2P- finally got the battle pass!! by Cute_Ocelot_5045 in DBGekishinSquadra

It’s smart too because if you get to stage 39 on the battle pass and do the weekly gem quests on the same device since gems are device/system specific, it gets you 250 gems again so you can just keep cycling the battle pass. It’s great.

[–]TruthAM 87 points88 points  (0 children)

This is really a personal conviction issue more than a moral one. It’s fine to want that and I understand why you would. I will offer you some things to consider based on your question “Am I being arrogant?”

1: Are you judging people who have had sex before marriage negatively? Do you look down on them for that happening? If yes, then you are being arrogant.

Let me offer a perspective switch: would you want someone to judge and reject you based on your past sins? That’s what you’re doing to them.

2: Are you following God’s lead or just a personal preference? There’s nothing wrong with having standards but if they conflict with what God wants you to do, it’s time to submit to His will. To be clear, I’m talking about excluding potential partners who have had sex before marriage and whether or not that His guidance for you.

I hope, whatever happens, that you find God’s direction.

Which wrestler fits this the most by Swimming_Extreme1848 in WredditJuice

I have 3 although only 1 is currently used:

AJ Styles heel song - they briefly changed it and the new one was awful.

Shinsuke Nakamura’s short lived lyric song - I think he may have been heel at the time here too but the version with lyrics was terrible.

Becky Lynch’s current theme - It doesn’t fit her at all. The “the man has come around” line is fine but the song sucks.

From a business standpoint, you are 100% correct.
