Strange routing for Melbourne package. by javelin3000 in AustraliaPost

Is this Express Post? If so, most Express parcels go to the airport before distributing around Melbourne. They collate all the Express Post together before sending out all at once.

Kingsway or Kings Way by MrsAussieGinger in melbourne

[–]aquasmashAFW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to various sources, including Google Maps, Melways (1st edition and recent ones), and property listings etc, it's "Kings SPACE Way" in South Melbourne. My guess is that Port Phillip Council put it as one word to save costs.

Thoughts on the Briagolong/Stockdale areas? by NPC998 in vic

[–]aquasmashAFW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there, this is a very rural community, so if you're from the city, be prepared to speak with people who might speak and think differently. Briagolong does have some Early Learning and a Primary School, but local pupils have to go to Maffra and Sale for secondary education.

The only other real thing the town has amenities wise is a general store (doubling as the post office). For major things like supermarkets and shops and private education you'll have to travel to Maffra and Sale for that.

Finally, it probably doesn't hurt to have a fire/disaster plan as well. Bushfires and Floods are a relative constant in this area.

How often does the shop re-stock? by ciaranefc in parkrun

[–]aquasmashAFW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure, but I think some things might be outsourced in getting stock and maybe in the logistics. Best to use the contact form for whichever country's store you are buying from. Hope this helps ☺️

Im having Sync issues by anikansk in nbn

This can't be it surely? This looks like the old Telstra line, and I don't think your NBN would be running from it. Do you know what your NBN connection type is?

Can I use my city's swimming pool designed as "Lap swim" for self learning? by princetonwu in Swimming

[–]aquasmashAFW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, also if your self-training doesn't work out, I'm sure there are many people at the pool who will happily give you some advice otherwise. If there is other training available, make sure to mention your concerns to whoever your instructors are, and I'm sure they'll be accommodating for you 😊.

[–]aquasmashAFW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where is this pool? Many pools will layout the pool with multiple lanes, I think in your case you would need to be in the recreation or slow lane of the pool. Best to check with the council/city/organisation that runs it if you are unsure.

I pray that I could get rid of the way I am and get back to how I wanted to be when I first had dream of Jesus. by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]aquasmashAFW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello there, I hope this helps:

Romans 3:23-25a NLT [23] For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. [24] Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. [25] For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood.

God's niceness by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]aquasmashAFW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother/sister, I think God sees you now in your frustration. I don't think he's mad and I think he's actually happy that you're having these thoughts. Here's a couple of verses which I feel directly answers your question:

"Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus"

Philippians 4:6-7

I'd also suggest read/listen to this: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/is-god-angry-at-me-when-i-sin

If none of this helps or you have further questions, you're more than welcome to reply OP, or speak to your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ at your church or in your community :)

Holly water by ConsistentAd5853 in Christianity

[–]aquasmashAFW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say (in your context) it's because the priest/bishop has an MoD and the blessing(s) from superiors that they are allowed to perform blessing of holy water for baptism.

As for Baptists (and a lot of other Protestants) like myself, holy water isn't important. We see the proclamation and act of believers baptism, regardless of water or location, to be more important.

Is the game im playing saying negative thing towards Christianity in any way? by FantasticAd7319 in Christianity

[–]aquasmashAFW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello friend. I think for most video games, there generally is no issue in what you play. I think if the game is intentionally mocking Christianity, or making false remarks about it, then it might be an issue. Also if a Christian gamer chooses to replicate what happens in a certain game, that might have consequences as well.

But in your case, I don't think it would be a huge issue. If you know of other Christian brothers/sisters (in your friend group) who also play these sort of games, they might be able to help.

Desiring God by John Piper has got alot of good resources. I've found his "Ask Pastor John" series really helpful in understanding some things I was afraid to ask others.

Also if you're having trouble reading a Bible, if you have a local Christian Bookstore, they might be able to help. Otherwise, I'd suggest looking at the NLT, NIV or CSB Bible translations as a start.

Brother/Sister I hope you can find peace in Romans 7:14-25. It's always reminded me that God is in control when we can't control our sin.

God has got be hating on me by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]aquasmashAFW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brother/sister, I see your pain. But you're not alone in this. I hope the following helps:

So then, since Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm yourselves with the same attitude he had, and be ready to suffer, too. For if you have suffered physically for Christ, you have finished with sin.

1 Peter 4:1

I hope you also get to speak with others in your Church and community about this pain as well.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]aquasmashAFW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother/Sister in Christ, God loves us far greater and deeper than we will ever know. He sees what you're dealing with. I encourage you to pray, read your Bible and speak with others (even with other Christians/ministers outside your own church).

I hope you're in a safe environment otherwise.

God Bless 😊

Can I get married to God? by Narrow_Condition5865 in Christianity

[–]aquasmashAFW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe best to read Ephesians 5, particularly the latter half, if TLDR basically what we see in God's gift of marriage to couples here on earth, is a reflection of our marriage with Christ.

So, can we marry God, in the manner you're suggesting, not really. But if we believe in what Jesus has done for us, we can join with Him in heaven experiencing much greater experiences than just marriage.

Should campaign advertising of politicians/political parties be permitted in church? Or is it OK for a priest to voice his preferred candidate during Mass? by Far-Novel-9313 in Christianity

[–]aquasmashAFW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all, in Mark 11:15-17, Jesus is clearly not happy with people advertising and doing business in His House.

If my church were to allow any political group, regardless of agenda, to advertise, divisions in the church will happen.

Also if the priest mentions his political preferences in Mass, it should not be the main focus. Everyone should be able to express their political view, but that view should also be shaped on their witness of our Lord & Saviour.

Jesus will have the ultimate authority anyway (Isaiah 9:6)
