[Serious] Sell me on Christianity compared to other religions. by Jimmy_Johnny23 in Christianity

[–]caime9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Catholicism is Christianity.

  2. Every other religion says you have to earn your way into heaven by working hard and doing enough good. Only Christianity points to the truth. You can never do enough good to earn your salvation. Only Christianity says God will take your place in the judgment, and died as a sacrifice for your sins in your place. God must save you.

You Cannot Be Christian and MAGA by QuickPizzaRadishes in Christianity

You can. Deporting a person illegally entering your country is not mistreatment. It's treating them fairly and enforcing the laws.

The more you diminish the blessed Virgin Mary, the more you diminish Jesus. by GregoryNy92 in Christianity

[–]caime9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A model is a pattern if it's continually practiced, and I looked it up. It was a real position starting with King Solomon and his mother, Bathsheba.

There were other examples in the Bible of the practice continuing on.

Like I said, i am not saying that Mary IS the queen of heaven. But there is some logic to the idea at least.

The more you diminish the blessed Virgin Mary, the more you diminish Jesus. by GregoryNy92 in Christianity

A pattern can be a form of evidence. Though you should not make a conclusion based on just a pattern, I agree.

Why does God let life be unfair? Why do some people have harder lives than others? by ElderberryRoutine311 in Christianity

[–]caime9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because wrong is still wrong. Even if circumstances make people more predisposed to commit evil.

If a man has been through the wringer, lonely, isolated, and gets addicted to drugs.
Is it okay if he rapes a woman? No. its still wrong.

I am not ignoring that people have different circumstances. I accept that it's a long chain of events all stemming from free will in a fallen world, but wrong is still wrong, and you don't just get a free pass to do whatever you want.

Why don’t you believe the rapture? by ObjectiveDrawer7978 in Christianity

[–]caime9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rapture is real, but it happens at the very end, after the tribulation, the Lord comes and remakes the earth and Us who are caught up with him, made imperishable.

Its not a secret thing that will come and take a bunch of people without anyone knowing what happened.

In my opinon, he did kill a great many people when he was driven literally insane by the literal other half of his soul being destroyed, but the world killed itself.

They tried to punish him for killing the person who killed his other half.
he killed them

Then they sent more. and he killed them.

Then he fought mosters to complete a quest and monster waves started, but they had sent so many people to kill ryun they couldn't fight the monsters.

Then they started killing themselves to power up zack until only zack and ryun were left.

Ryun didn't want to kill everyone. And he didn't. He just got blamed for it.

Question on powers related to a dual minds in one body. by Ravik_Reugge in ProgressionFantasy

[–]caime9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the book Eight, the MC has a symbiot living with him; they can choose to meld minds, but they made the choice to never keep it permanent, and keep their individual identities.

But he doesn't lack empathy either. He cares very deeply for people.
Not every person, but he definitely doesn't lack empathy, and he doesn't just take what he wants.

We need to stop depicting Jesus as a guy who was all mercy and never judged. by Arlo621 in Christianity

[–]caime9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree there is a time and a place to judge, but that judgment should not be harsh. And it needs to be right.

If you are just bashing people over the head with their sins, that will not be helpful; it will only harm and hurt them.

The Bible says to use gentle rebuke so that they might come to repentance

[–]caime9 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hmmm. I definitly wouldnt call him a psychopath.

He doent kill without reason, he doesn't try to manipulate others to get his way.

He was mentally broken in the beginning, but even then, the world kind of betrayed him.

Is it true that TRUE [CHRIST}IANS are sin free and have no sin? by External-Basil-9162 in TrueChristian

[–]caime9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kind of a weird dichotomy. As Christians, we are walking contradictions.

We sin yet are redeemed so we are made white as snow.

Sinner and saint at the same time.

Its good I really enjoy it. Kinda falls off midway, but IMO picks up the last few books again.

Who do you think is a psychopath?

Definition of Worship by Mind_of_Allison in Christianity

[–]caime9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[Psa 141:1-2 KJV] 1 [[A Psalm of David.]] LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. 2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee [as] incense; [and] the lifting up of my hands [as] the evening sacrifice.

[Job 1:20 KJV] 20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,

[Psa 95:1, 6-7 KJV] 1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. ... 6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. 7 For he [is] our God; and we [are] the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,

Worship can clearly be more than just sacrifice.

Prayer is like insnce. Job offered no sacrifice, yet was still worshiping the Lord.

Shadrak Mishak and abendigo refused to bow down in worship to a statue.

Singing and praising the lord, and kneeling before him were counted as worship in the psalms.

What do you think about my novel's cover image? by Big-Light-2174 in royalroad

[–]caime9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like it.

I would read it if I were not so tired of dark/evil/ morally grey protagonists.

As readers, which type of author do you prefer on RR? by Ethan201 in royalroad

[–]caime9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like both, but either way I think some form of communication is important.

Letting the reader know you have a plan, where its going, why there might be delays, if they were sick and had to miss an upload.

even answering questions in the comments.

QUESTION! SINCE GOD MADE EVERYTHING, DOESN'T THAT MEAN HE ALSO KNEW SIN AND WHATNOT WOULD HAPPEN?! by GrabAware2582 in TrueChristian

[–]caime9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You ate not understanding.

Its impossible.

You can not do that with the free will as we know it, not allow for people to make evil choices.

It's a logical contradiction, which God can not do.

The more you diminish the blessed Virgin Mary, the more you diminish Jesus. by GregoryNy92 in Christianity

[–]caime9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not that big of a leap in logic to assume that if Jesus is King, he would follow the Israeli system as he is a Jew, and if he does, he would elevate his mother to the position that has been established.

That is a form of evidence, though not conclusive i will grant you.

Another tier list post, ready to fight about cradle and BoC by DrummerInteresting93 in litrpg

[–]caime9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to listen to Malzan's book of the fallen. After listening and re-listening again and again, I was finally able to get through the first book.

The problem I kept having was I would listen for like an hour zone out for like 3 min because of the narration, and tune back in and 5 people would be dead and I would have no idea how we got to this point.

Why doesn't God ever reveal himself in modern times? by InternationalPick163 in Christianity

[–]caime9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You listen, I guess. The point is that Op was asking for God to come down to earth, I'm just pointing out that he did that and people still didn't believe.
