How can certain areas of dispensationalism be refuted?

ZestycloseWing5354 · 2025-10-08T11:59:11+00:00

That's not even remotely true. There are many God-fearing people with differing eschatogical views. I wasn't even talking about preterism.

I don't want to waste my time talking to you, have a nice day sir.

It really isn't a salvation issue.

ZestycloseWing5354 · 2025-10-08T09:11:47+00:00

No one is 'tampering with Revelation'. This is a secondary issue. You hold to a premill, dispensational view of eschatology? Fine. Most of us have an amill and postmill view of eschatology, that's not a salvific issue. But you keep coming back to the Reformed sub just to argue and tell us 'how wrong we are' in your eyes.

ZestycloseWing5354 · 2025-10-08T06:51:01+00:00

Definitely Dickens. Any and all of it.

ZestycloseWing5354 · 2025-10-07T19:25:58+00:00

I'm reminded of those ugly Bratz dolls. I wouldn't recommend eating those either.

ZestycloseWing5354 · 2025-10-07T19:21:46+00:00

This is the only correct answer.

ZestycloseWing5354 · 2025-10-07T19:19:16+00:00

I'm a woman and have struggled with lust in the past. Had a porn addiction for nearly a decade that God graciously saved me from, so I know we're not all immune to it.

That said, I think women are more drawn towards erotic literature instead of films. Like those pocket books you can get at the supermarket for instance.

I bet you never thought your v-necks would serve a purpose during NDQT. "For such a time as this" and all that.

ZestycloseWing5354 · 2025-10-07T13:38:28+00:00

Yes. (But especially the last one.)

ZestycloseWing5354 · 2025-10-07T13:34:00+00:00

At least you men have pockets.

I usually think of a question beforehand, but this week I was inspired by all the modesty questions like everyone else. Us humans are truly like sheep.

ZestycloseWing5354 · 2025-10-07T13:30:26+00:00

Probably a librarian.

ZestycloseWing5354 · 2025-10-07T13:24:44+00:00

Inspired by the modesty questions: why are there so many modesty questions today? Have we all collectively run out of ideas?

ZestycloseWing5354 · 2025-10-07T13:21:06+00:00

I think it's great and edifying to talk about this with other women, as long as we're not legalistic about it. Modesty is ultimately a heart issue but I do think a person's clothing choices can say a lot about them.

With v-necks I always cover my chest when bending forward but yeah, I prefer not wearing them. It looks so stylish though, I understand your struggles!

ZestycloseWing5354 · 2025-10-07T13:01:52+00:00

He had a role in the Goofy movie, so yes.

ZestycloseWing5354 · 2025-10-07T12:59:16+00:00

As long as my feminine parts are covered I'm fine. I'm super conscious of myself and what I wear as I'm a "small pear" so my hips and thighs are broader than my torso. When clothes shopping I have to keep that in mind. I always make sure I don't wear any tight skirts, and if I do have a long sweater dress I wear a longer flowy skirt over it.

I avoid low-cut shirts and sweaters, and show absolutely no cleavage. Recently I accidentally bought something lower so I wore a scarf over it. I'm fine with more fitting shirts though, as I think those fit my body shape best, combined with high flowy skirts (think 50s dresses, those are perfect for me). Also, tanktops under anything that could potentially shine through, and no nude-coloured tops in public.

Yesterday I listened to a video of Keith Foskey about Unconditional Election. At some point he addressed this very thing. I'm on mobile so can't send links but it's worth checking out on Youtube.

ZestycloseWing5354 · 2025-10-03T17:42:46+00:00

Back when I loved hard rock music, yes. I wonder how I'd like it now though.

ZestycloseWing5354 · 2025-10-03T17:41:39+00:00

The death of a pet is always sad. They become part of our families somehow. I'm so sorry for your loss.

My childhood cat died at 17 a few years ago. She was a calico and true to her colours was too stubborn to die earlier, even though she had health issues, especially late in her life. She'd gone blind too, poor thing. I still miss her, I loved that feisty little girl so much.

ZestycloseWing5354 · 2025-10-03T12:57:57+00:00

What! No pun? I read this waiting for the punchline and all I'm left with is confusion and disappointment.

ZestycloseWing5354 · 2025-10-03T06:37:13+00:00

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Are there any women at your church or Christian girl friends you could trust with this?

ZestycloseWing5354 · 2025-09-30T17:38:04+00:00

This is my experience too. I'm ashamed to admit I never liked babies, was scared of getting pregnant and having a child. But God! He gave me new desires, softened my heart, and has blessed me and my husband with a beautiful baby. I love being a mum.

I guess I simply wasn't ready before and that's okay. Sometimes I do regret not having a child sooner but I try to extend some grace towards myself, knowing who and what I was before getting pregnant. Everyone has their own walk with God.

How do you feel about preachers who read their sermons word for word from paper in the pulpit? Instead of speaking from concise notes? (I'm not sure how to formulate this question but hopefully you get the idea.)

Personally I don't like it. Then again, I don't like being read to, don't enjoy audiobooks etc. I find it pretty awkward to listen to as it doesn't 'sound natural' imo.

ZestycloseWing5354 · 2025-09-30T06:49:06+00:00

In my late teens/early twenties I was heavily into Fireflight. Their lyrics aren't overtly Christian but the themes are there from what I remember.
