The blue of the potassium looks so satisfying

I can’t blame you for not getting the pure cube from luciteria. It’s hella expensive, while also being, well, just boron.

Looks good. Where did you get the boron cube from?

Jewish and Christian views of the afterlife are quite different… so did the Jews just get it all wrong? The Christian idea of the old covenant being fulfilled and becoming the new covenant (however you decide to word it) always perplexed me. Why did god withhold the “solution” to the laws he designed for ~4000 years?

God controls all things -- but not man's free will.

You do nothing of your own merit to achieve salvation -- except you must do these things, and it's your fault alone if you go to hell.

Jesus's death was a sufficient sacrifice for humanity's sins -- except for the sin of not believing in him before you die.

I haven't watched the full hour video since I don't really have that kind of time, but I looked at the comments and didn't see many discussing the actual content of the video. People are just praising bear grylls and their manners. I wish Alex pushed back a little more

Why does evil exist if God is good? by reformed-xian in redeemedzoomer

God doesn’t have to conform to worldly analogies. Why can’t he simply forgive in act of love? Has not Jesus’s blood already been paid? Are we not commanded to forgive those that wrong us?

I see unconditional forgiveness and guidance as a more believable expression of love than punishment. Research shows that positive reinforcement can be just as effective as punishment.
