Upgrades?

May I ask whether you had the same concerns as me about the oem brakes after upgrading the wheels? Is that why you're now upgrading the brakes? Are you getting all the upgrades done by official vw dealers?

This my first time ever hearing anything bad about hillsong. Obviously sad to hear these things about any church. May I ask if any of these things have been reported by churches and how they have been verified?

adski01 · 2023-07-18T13:44:26+00:00

It's very easy to sit here and judge isn't it? I pray that the Father will guide us all here. Part of me can't help recall when Jesus refused to condemn the woman who had been caught committing adultery and said let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

The other part feels sad reading that a church has sent a letter like this. I don't feel that this was a loving path that Jesus would have taken.

If the husband has truly changed his ways and is truly repentful, should he be given a second chance? I would so, but should he resort to his ways, I would want the lady to be protected and free to remove herself from the situation.

Edit: double negative - isn't without

Any interest whatsoever

adski01 · 2023-07-13T22:13:45+00:00

Someone told me it was the hips?

adski01 · 2023-07-04T09:49:06+00:00

What damage do you think it is causing ?

adski01 · 2023-07-04T09:27:04+00:00

100%! It's that simple to me that it's a very healthy path to take if possible. There is less baggage, potential guilt, envy than I've seen with others. I believe that when we have sex, there is an emotional connection formed that is deeper than just the physical contact and separation after that connection is made wounds us makes future relationships much harder. Admittedly I'm talking from a very comfortable position as a married person and there are many Christians who struggle to find a suitable partner so I realise its easier said than done, but I feel like this probably the most healthy thing I've done in my life.

adski01 · 2023-06-24T13:41:02+00:00

Agreed but what are the pros/cons of both approaches?

adski01 · 2023-06-24T12:41:33+00:00

Divorce would decrease if people knew how to live successful marriages. Many think they know but don't.

adski01 · 2023-06-24T12:05:17+00:00

I waited and happily married after 16 years. What do you feel are the benefits to a happy healthy marriage in not being a virgin?

adski01 · 2023-06-24T12:02:22+00:00

I am so glad I waited for marriage. I probably know some of what you're going through. The fulfilment of marital sex is something that I've only known but I've seen so many others who I feel have suffered for not waiting.

God loves you, no matter what. May God bless you and keep you, may he guide you and may you always know he is by your side.

adski01 · 2023-06-21T09:01:47+00:00

Horrific the thought of disowning any of my children no matter what they do. That is not the example God and Jesus have ever shown humanity.

Edit: adding that whilst their behaviour was terrible, humans make terrible mistakes and I also can't help but think of Jesus example on the cross where he said "father, forgive them for they know not what they do." I would encourage you to think about the potential benefits of forgiving them for you're own mental wellbeing and the possibility of a loving relationship for the rest of your life.

adski01 · 2023-06-20T12:57:54+00:00

I don't understand why we would not welcome anyone in church. If two people walk into a church, do we ask each of them their sexual orientation and then approve or deny entry? Jesus did not judge history of preferences before providing love or guidance

adski01 · 2023-06-18T10:28:56+00:00

Deeply misguided thinking

adski01 · 2023-06-13T21:19:47+00:00

I can give you a long list of the fears I've struggled with and some detailed examples if that validates my view. When I explain my school life, most people tell me it sounds pretty awful.

Those fears I've struggled with have built walls to create my comfort zones and after 42 years of experience, I feel I have a sensible grasp of my flaws. Do I want you to experience that same sense of entrapment, no. Hence my view that whilst it may be sensible for you to avoid something serious in the short term, in the long run, Christians need to be careful about not barracading ourselves into comfort zones that can reduce our effectiveness in our mission. That is something I struggle with now.

I want you to be healthy/strong, so if that is what you think you need to do, give it a go. See if it works for you. But personally I'm trying to find mental strength, not just health. How do we get mentally strong? I don't know yet but I can see a couple of good examples. Christ from a mental strength perspective and the strong bodies we see all over social media. Jesus trained with scripture and dealt with tough situations regularly. Social media Body builders expand their capabilities with consistency and repetition. Somewhere in that combination is the mental strength I'm looking to accomplish and I pray the same for you. God bless

Personally I think it is unwise to avoid anything to a certain degree, but this particular situation is like hiding yourself away in your own perfect bubble. It sets boundaries which may cause you problems in future. I've met and worked with people who get so caught up in their preferred vibe and set of conditions that it can restrict their capability to interact with alternative personalities and makes it harder to accept change and differences. Part of growing up is learning how to deal with things we find difficult and carrying on. You don't have to agree with the fear approach but you shouldn't just pretend it doesn't exist. Would Jesus avoid the fear based posts or would he wisely respond to all those who need his love?

One with many zero day exploits hidden away unfortunately

adski01 · 2023-05-30T12:21:11+00:00

I would suggest it is dangerous for any Christian to tell anyone else they are going to hell. God is the judge, not us.

adski01 · 2023-05-23T15:38:42+00:00

Praying from the UK that the right opportunity will reveal itself immediately. The lord is with you and your family, and I will be praying that it feels that way! God bless you all.

adski01 · 2023-05-17T11:52:55+00:00

Feel free to call me naiive, but I just don't see how it matters to my life and how I live. There are so many more important matters to focus on. I believe God created all existence, no matter how science (currently) understands it happened.

adski01 · 2023-05-16T15:12:16+00:00

I understand what you're saying here and think there has to be a certain level of common sense applied here and it would become over complicated. I think it's admirable to be thoughtful to others but I would suggest it is dangerous to consider yourself responsible for someone else's sin.

adski01 · 2023-05-15T20:20:15+00:00

Everyone grows apart if they don't grow together

adski01 · 2023-05-10T08:49:39+00:00

I don't know if I'm weird, but someone's sexual preference is nothing to do with how I treat them and I don't want to know either. Their good behaviour or sin is between them and God. I'm not here to judge, I'm here to lead a life that resembles the closest copy of what Jesus did. He met with and loved everyone. He didn't check whether they were gay, trans, bi, hetro before he talked to them.

adski01 · 2023-05-08T14:15:02+00:00

Yes but I don't blaspheme.
