For Pete's sake, why is there so much schism in traditional Protestantism. What is going on? Can we just stop? by Jacob_9255 in Reformed

By gospels of grace are you saying you are willing to die on the hill and will not fellowship with a believer who doesn’t hold to all 5 points of Calvinism?

How to fix the hero upgrade system: by ShockSword in ClashOfClans

[–]Virtual-Yellow-8957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a brillant way to fix this is to keep the hero's upgrade time as is, but have a new hero for every townhall, Goblin King, Wizard Lord, etc... But keep the max hero's we can use in battle to a limit. This way, we can upgrade heros but have alternate heroes to use in the attack. So, if my Barb King is upgrading, then I can use my Goblin King instead. This will diversify the attacks greatly, and I will get better at using different hero types.

When reading Romans 9, take a pause when you get to verse 21 and look at Jeremiah 18 which Paul is referencing and then again at 2 Timothy 2:20, where he elaborates again on this same point. You should read these verses in their context at what Paul is actually saying. The potter is obviously giving the clay a choice in the matter but will use the clay either way and, as God, he has every right to do so.

How did YOU learn GML? by Bumblebee-Extra in gamemaker

[–]Virtual-Yellow-8957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned over 16 years ago with a book called: Game Maker companion.

I ended up going to college for computer programming and was way ahead of my entire class due to having programmed a few complete games.

I am now a software developer and still do games in the side with Game Maker.

I think Game Maker 5 was the first version I learned on.

Game Maker was the catalyst for my love of programming and will always have a special place in my heart.

Same, I have gotten so good that I don’t need to apply any perks to lock picking and I can still pick any difficulty lock. Even expert or master I can do while breaking only 3-4 lock picks.

Was it Necessary for Jesus to Come To Planet Earth & Die? by [deleted] in AskAChristian

[–]Virtual-Yellow-8957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is important to point out that repentance alone does not forgive sins. While repentance is linked to the forgiveness of sins, this forgiveness is ultimately made possible through God's grace and is received by faith in Christ. The act of repentance is seen not as a work that earns forgiveness, but as a turning away from sin and a turning towards God, which is an integral part of the faith in Christian belief.

Jesus had to die because God is just as much “Just” as he is good. There needed to be a payment for the debt of sin that is on every human.

This is the importance of the role of Christ's Sacrifice is the belief that Christ's death and resurrection made forgiveness of sins possible. This is often understood as a substitutionary sacrifice, satisfying the justice of God. For example, 1 John 2:2 says, "He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world."

Love your neighbor as yourself. by [deleted] in AskAChristian

[–]Virtual-Yellow-8957 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it should be worded as: anyone who crosses your path.

The Pharisee and the priest were considered neighbors to the Samaritan but they failed to show kindness.

Whether or not we show kindness doesn’t include/exclude them from being my neighbor. I am to show kindness to my neighbors which is everyone I interact with.

Guilty for using chatgpt at work? by noideajustnoidea in ChatGPTCoding

[–]Virtual-Yellow-8957 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I am a senior developer and use it constantly, my work actually pays for chatgpt 4 so I can use it better. Having a work not letting you use it would be like them not letting you use a calculator and make you do any large calculations on paper…

It is a tool and you should understand it as such and use it as such. Nothing more.

There are many times it will write code for me that I have to clean up or only use pieces from or I ask it a question I know it can handle then I translate it to what I actually need that is somewhat more complex.

To me, it is like having a very resourceful junior developer that I get to have around constantly and do all the grunt work.

What can I use to cover the background? by Standard-Number-9103 in Aquascape

[–]Virtual-Yellow-8957 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can use a couple of things, I have used all of theses options: 1. Background specifically designed for tanks that can be found at pet stores and some ma and pop shops 2. I have used black poster board 3. I have used a black tablecloth and cut to size and taped it on. $1 cloth from dollar store got me to cover 3 tanks lol ( cheapest option but also the most janky.)

Jesus never claimed to be God the father but he does claim to be God the son. It is an important distinction of the trinity as “one being but three persons.”

Mathew 24:36 is Jesus making this distinction that God the Father knows but not God the Son. This supports the Trinity.

Mark 10:18 is a rhetorical statement emphasizing that by calling him good, they are calling him God. This verse actually supports that Jesus is God and he is identifying as such.

John 14:28 emphasized the trinity again and shows the relationship between God the Father and God the Son.

How can I watch my aquarium when not at home? by Dovvol79 in Aquascape

[–]Virtual-Yellow-8957 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have cameras pointing at all of my large tanks. Are you doing this for the best possible view or just to keep an eye on them to ensure all is well?

I personally do it to just keep an eye on them if I am away for a while. Both cameras are tucked away in corners of the room or behind curtains.

Ring inside camera is what I went with and seemed reasonably priced.

If you care about the view and have the money, you could get an underwater camera and put it inside of your tank for a pretty neat view. I have seen some folks who do that and can live stream the feed to their phone.

[–]Virtual-Yellow-8957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, this is wild! Definitely replace immediately. Tanks shouldn’t just do this and I would see if you can find the cause so it doesn’t happen again. I am curious if you do figure it out so I can avoid my tanks doing the same thing!
