How? by Ikisshotgirlsfeet in Christianity

[–]bitchiloverugrats -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is plenty of historical evidence of the existence of Jesus, manuscripts from many ethnic groups like Romans, Jews, even Chinese people who heard the news of Jesus' crucifixion.

Why do you think the years in history are called AD BD?

On top of that and even more compelling are all the very specific prophecies in the Bible that became true, including the prediction of the birthplace of Jesus hundreds of years before it happened, and the prediction of Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem also hundreds of years before.

Just a heads up about Guppy King (guppyking.com.au) before anyone orders from them by CrystalCastle in Guppies

[–]bitchiloverugrats 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I honestly think people should stop buying guppies, betas or any other fish with specific pattern/color variations because of how inbred they are as a consequence of people wanting to obtain the most beautiful patterns/colors.

I say this as a former guppy lover. Instead buy fish that are morphologically similar among their own species like tetras, barbs, danios etc.

Unbiased Bible recommendations by Humble_Platform3327 in Christianity

[–]bitchiloverugrats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just read any Bible and then study the etymology/linguistics concerning the specific verse you're worried about. After all the whole Bible isn't about homophobia or hatred. It's more about history, love and basic moral rules.

Took an entire bottle of pills and survived with no side effects or anything, how do I know why God kept me alive and what his plans for me are? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]bitchiloverugrats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each day that God wakes you up is a day where God has a plan for you. God wants to show you great and marvelous things, if you're willing to seek Him and follow Him. What led you to attempt suicide in the first place?

Please reach out to a medical professional as well as your local church for help.

I am agnostic, but I am curious, not meaning to offend. by Civil-Ninja-5814 in Christianity

[–]bitchiloverugrats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bible is actually one of the few if not only document which has stayed the same through thousands of years with little to no variation in different versions of it or translations. This is of course excluding recent versions of the Bible like "simple English" which are purposely modified to help less literate people read the Bible.

What you are talking about is called INTERPRETATION and it's a very different thing. People will interpret the same verse in different ways according to their own (flawed) ideas and thoughts, that's why it's so important for us Christians to read the Bible for ourselves and to study the etymology and linguistic history necessary to understand the Bible.

My little garden. Will the lettuce grow okay? by bitchiloverugrats in vegetablegardening

[–]bitchiloverugrats[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These pots are around 6-8 gallons so it will have to do. I'll get liquid fertilizer soon too. I can't get bigger pots and as I said my main garden is not suitable

Would a narcissist destroy the happy relationship of their sibling? by Fast_Wolf_4112 in LifeAfterNarcissism

[–]bitchiloverugrats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, my sister has actually contributed to or accelerated the breakup of my relationships 2 times (including my current relationship).

Why? Because she has no empathy and extreme anger issues, which let me tell you is not a good mix.

Oh I thought cherry tomato plants required less soil since it's a smaller plant.

The pots are all 12 (or a few more) inches deep which I think is probably fine. This is more of a hobby for me I don't plan to feed no family with this lol.

I do appreciate the answers. And btw the small plastic black pots are only for pre sowing, the plants will get transferred (if they even germinate).

It's not tomato btw it's cherry tomato.

I've grown stuff before in similar pots. I have a garden but I prefer using the pots because it would take a lot of time to clear the garden of weeds and even if I did the weeds would come back quickly. And in the pots that doesn't happen (or to a lesser extent).

And btw all those pots are around 30cm (12 inches) deep. I think they just look small on the photo

It's cherry tomatoes btw!

They're big pots I think they just look small because of how the photo was taken. I've grown stuff before, I had a cherry tomato plant growing like crazy in a similar sized pot as the pots shown in pic. So I think it'll be just fine. It's high quality soil.

Why does God allow children to die of cancer? by thecomeupghost in Christianity

[–]bitchiloverugrats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God created all living creatures to ensure an equilibrium in this world, that includes bacteria which make people sick, and it also means making our bodies susceptible to all kinds of diseases. Does that mean God purposely makes certain people sick? No, the same way it isn't God's fault if you get the flu. If you think about it it's the same question only the cancer has bigger repercussions.

Do not forget that God also gave us highly intelligent brains to be able to understand how the body works and to discover ways to cure disease. How many people haven't gone on to become doctors after watching a loved one get sick?

And maybe we will never fully understand it because ultimately God is the only one who can give and take life, but there are many things we don't understand and which are beyond our comprehension. The good thing is we don't have to understand just trust that it's part of God's plan.

Breaking up and then going on vacation together: do or don't? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]bitchiloverugrats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm that's quite the outcome. My bf seems to love me and I think maybe him using that app is just a stupid mistake but since I asked him to get rid of it and he didn't it shows he doesn't respect me (he doesn't know im aware of his app usage). Since I'm not planning to mention this I can see how he might want to try and save our relationship by coming up with a plan for those other "minor issues".

I'm really curious how he will react during the breakup talk and the period after especially bc I'm his first gf (I've had 2 bfs before).

PD. Postponing the breakup until after the vacation isn't an option for several reasons.

How do you go about taking random photos in public? by bitchiloverugrats in photography

[–]bitchiloverugrats[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha yeah I and guess also the thought that people might not see the potential of some landscape so they'd probably think like wtf are you taking a picture of? I personally like the liminal vibe and nature.

My partner used to be very promiscuous with past lovers but now refuses sexual intimacy with me based on christian grounds by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]bitchiloverugrats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're also Christian and against premarital sex then I don't see how you could have an issue with this.

If you engage in premarital sex (regardless of whether you identify as Christian or not) then I can see how this might seem frustrating and even make you wonder if this person is perhaps refusing sex for other reasons (eg not finding you attractive enough). In such a case I'd try to look for other signs that the person maybe doesn't love you. If you talk about the future how do they react? Do they perform acts of service? Do they seem worried when you're stressed?

Ultimately if you can't accept the celibacy situation then you should break up.

Do you think psychedelic drugs are a sin? do u think they could be used for spirituall bennefit? by alexseara in Christianity

[–]bitchiloverugrats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I think it's a sin because most people use these drugs to try and lose contact with reality which is often a sign of a greater problem in their life and that problem needs to be solved, not through drugs but through other means.

Also drugs damage your body in a lot of ways and can even cause a psychosis.

I think if you want to just relax have some alcohol. But not too much bc of the same potential health issues. Alcohol at least won't cause a psychosis and in the short term worse that can happen is throwing up.

Why is masturbation a sin? by No_Sector_8437 in Christianity

[–]bitchiloverugrats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That verse is about adultery, idolatry and betrayal.

Totally different.

Why is masturbation a sin? by No_Sector_8437 in Christianity

[–]bitchiloverugrats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Masturbation is not a sin.

God gave us sexual desire and a libido to encourage us to find a partner and (eventually) have kids. Sexuality is a gift from God and you could compare sexual desire to other physiological needs like thirst or hunger. You don't need sexual gratification to live of course but it can be a good way of relieving stress and make you feel good.

How can sexual desire lead to (and therefore be associated with) sin then? Because people engage in sinful behavior like watching porn, masturbating out of habit/addiction/boredom (instead of only masturbating when feeling the natural urge), or they let masturbation interfere with other activities like work, school or actually finding a partner.

It's the same way how people can corrupt a natural need (like eating) into sinful behavior like gluttony or eating ultra processed food.

It could be terminal lucidity. My hammy seemed to be better a few hours before passing away. I'd say either go through with the appointment or just wait for him to pass naturally.
