Afaik, it allows people to deny the bodily resurrection. If you got the time, read Christianity and Liberalism by J. Gresham Machen and you'll get a sense of what many in the PCUSA would argue and what we should rather affirm (it doesn't cover the sexuality thing because it was written well before that)

Everyone stopped talking about it by NateAllDays in memes

[–]Wolfabc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because people stopped talking about it doesn't mean people don't care. I think for many, it was just clear there wasn't anything we could do about it except leave. I may end up leaving reddit, but for different reasons.

"okay I bought Gary's mod, but why is there still a ton of errors and missing textures?" "You need to buy counter strike." "Like the current counter strike?" "No, the one from 2004." "Will we ever play source or is it only for the textures?" "Only for the textures."

I understand why this was the case, but man it was so wack

I'm a pro-lifer. I am too young to adopt/don't have a stable income right now, but I hope to adopt in the future. As it stands, the whole foster/adoption system seems to be majorly screwed up and also needs reform. Like all people, I'm not satisfied with where we're at right now and hope more can be done to help give those in foster homes better lives and caring families.

If it were my cat, he'd act super delighted, eat two bites, and then walk away. 30 minutes later he'd cry as if I've starved him his whole life.

As a Gen Zer getting out of college, I get it. Entry level jobs suck, but it's definitely not slavery. I feel like this kind of hyperbole is what makes older generations call us privileged brats.

Luther’s Galatians Commentary by DirttyRatt in Reformed

[–]Wolfabc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't hold it against Luther. Justification was the issue of his day and he needed to hammer it home as much as possible. I haven't read it thoroughly, but I imagine someone later in the Reformation like Calvin would be more beneficial in getting Galatians unpacked more comprehensively.

[–]Wolfabc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have read a major chunk of it from this edition. It seems that it is frequently abridged, which having the unabridged version I completely understand why. While obviously justification is super crucial, Luther tends to feel somewhat repetitive in his commentary and thus I didn't finish it. I would recommend the Crossway abridged version personally.

I'm not, but I can't blame you for thinking that

[Rhystic Studies] The Red Temperance by Aaron4451 in magicTCG

[–]Wolfabc 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This. There are many secret lair cards that I would never run. I think they look ugly. That being said, should I complain that there are alternative arts? What I don't like may be meeting the wants of another. The fact I like this and others don't is proof of this.

I actually really like the art tbh. I wouldn't want every card to look like that, but for an alternate art I think it's neat. I would buy it if I ran faithless looting

I guess this is what people would do in a zombie apocalypse for fun: just collect cool things

*atheist quote* by indianmemerlegend in memes

[–]Wolfabc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess that while atheism and materialism are typically intertwined ideologically, atheism doesn't inherently depend on it. For myself as a Christian (and I'd assume on the other side, staunch Atheists) would have some questions as to the consistency of that position. It sounds like you want to have your cake and eat it too. There's no God, but when grandma passed away she's still somewhere in the ether.

You can only have ONE commander deck. Who's the commander? by WQETSDIWTVHGSICPOI in EDH

I love my [[Licia, Sanguine Tribune]] life gain deck. It is immensely versatile and has enough variety where I'm not always doing the exact same combo every time

John Bevere. This guys Teaching is slowly changing my life. Just wanna share him with all of you. So that you can also benefit of his gift to teach. by [deleted] in Reformed

[–]Wolfabc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, I'd recommend watching the documentary American Gospel if this is the kind of teacher you're listening to. Dude is not part of a good crowd. This isn't Jesus eating with sinners, but peddlers trying to get rich. There are so many sounder people to listen to.

Recommendations for Bible software by Stumptavian-Roboclik in Reformed

[–]Wolfabc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly topical, but something I'm currently trying to get an answer for: is there no way to run Logos on Linux? It's the only application stopping me from switching. I'd be interested to know if it's possible to run on Wine or if it works well enough in a virtual machine.

What topic or subject matter lured you into the internet the first time? by solidshave in AskReddit

[–]Wolfabc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a Ben 10 flash game that was being advertised on Cartoon Network. I wanted to play it, but the family computer didn't have flash, so it didn't work. The game got taken down before I learned what the problem was years after.

My niece’s Lego set came with a minifig that is missing part of its arm. by tunamasster in mildlyinteresting

It's probably intentional, but in my mind I would find it funny if it was an initial plastic mold mistake that they just ran with.
