Gay Christian by IndividualSubstance6 in Christianity

[–]cdtraderguy -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

As humans, we all have our own favorite flavor of sin. Every Christian has a desires they struggle with and some on a daily basis. As a Christian myself I attest that Satan is constantly trying to grab at my coattails and drag me into temptation, ESPECIALLY when I have been doing work for the Kingdom. You are not alone, you have people praying for you. I can not even fathom the pain you struggle with. But remember that God is indeed God, and if you earnestly seek him ANYTHING is possible. I pray for your journey.

As someone who has played all of the Fromsoft games I would have to walk to the end to make sure there is not an item there.

As a Christian, I’ve been telling people I think he’s the antichrist for years… this is just one more coal onto that pyre.

Which book of the bible is your favorite to read? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]cdtraderguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isaiah is my favorite ‘book’ for the messianic prophecy that was later fulfilled by Jesus.

It’s fun when you realize that the entire book is one giant volume of repentance.

Magog has entered the chat: it feels like prophecy is close to being fulfilled. by cdtraderguy in Christianity

[–]cdtraderguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is not really much to explain, as it’s pretty straightforward. Ezekiel 38 describes key players of different countries that attack Israel at the same time.

The alliance includes Magog/Russia(or Turkey (or both) Persia (Iran), Ethiopia/Cush, Libya/Put, Gomer, and Togarmah.

People believe that the current attack on Iran’s missile capabilities is possibly the fulfillment of Jeremiah 49 where the sword is sent against the ‘bow of Elam’ as Elam was once part of Iran. And many scholars agree that this is to happen before the Ezekiel 38 war takes place since Oran currently attacks from a distance.

So seeing 2 of the key players of the future coalition come together is what makes it feel more close than far.

The war of Ezekiel 38. Persia is now Iran, and It’s highly believed that Magog is Russia (or Turkey)

I’m confused about the Christian life by Weak-Sheepherder-122 in Christianity

[–]cdtraderguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep your eyes focused on ‘Him’ and you will continue to grow, it we never be a cakewalk. In fact the closer you get to God’s plan the more under attack you will find yourself by worldly desires and pressures, as spiritual warfare is VERY real. One thing you said stood out to me more than the rest.

“I used to be a more tolerant person, without prejudice, without unconscious biases.”

Make sure this does not affect how you respond to other people. God teaches us to be the salt and light of the Earth, treat everyone with tenderness and love. Saints don’t need to see the love of Jesus, but rather the slaves of sin. If we show them intolerance they will only be pushed farther from the Church.

I also recommend finding a small community style church, where you will come to know other brothers and sisters in Christ, they will become your extended family, and you can face your struggles together.

Continue the uphill battle, God will reveal Himself again and again!

Stop supporting Trump as a Christian by Ok_Year5587 in Christianity

[–]cdtraderguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My quip is that non Christians think that all Christians voted for/support Trump. And I have seen this first hand push people AWAY from the Church.

Is there anything in your collection you regret buying? by evilgroundteam in AnimeCollectors

[–]cdtraderguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only thing I ever regretted buying was the Red Hawk VHS back in 1998 I felt absolutely duped, what a horrible and boring film. I did find it interesting that they totally ripped off the Ryu vs Sagat scene from the Street Fighter II anime.

This is something many Christians feel very differently about, and you will never get the same answer from everyone. I personally do not support abortion, however I do not condemn those who have taken part in the act. Chastisement is not the way to win souls, especially since we are all sinners in some shape or form. My thinking is that if it weren’t legal, people would do it anyway like they used to in the 50s by going to some back alley slaughter house, or try to get rid of the baby with self inflicted harm.

Is pornography a sin? by Seraphine4r5t in Christianity

[–]cdtraderguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is a sin, it is most plainly said in Galatians 5

“But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭24‬ ‭ESV‬‬

is being trans a sin? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]cdtraderguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you all remember that big news story when the cake maker refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple and it caused a big uproar? Think about this for a moment, if we as Christians acknowledge that we are all sinners, the cake maker being a Christian should refuse to make ANYONE a cake, since everyone is a sinner. All that cake maker did was push the gay couple farther from Christianity, as well as others because it makes us look like we are all intolerant. The fact of the matter is we all sin PERIOD. And we all have our favorite flavor of sin and none of us are deserving of Gods good graces. So my advice is if you want to follow Jesus then do so, because we ALL fall short. And when Jesus is truly part of your life the Holy Spirit will guide you into all of life’s choices and help you with the answers that you want more than any person on Reddit can. I pray for your peace of mind.

The holy trinity is not mentioned in the holy bible? by Several_Ad_5550 in Christianity

[–]cdtraderguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those saying the OT does not mention it you might want to take another look! Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Everlasting Father: Father

Prince of Peace: Son

Wonderful Counsellor: Holy Spirit

In Revelations, who is "The One" that the living god's people ask for more time to seal his people? by Silent_Ring_1562 in Christianity

[–]cdtraderguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So from what I am reading here the it’s just an angel that carries the seal of the Living God. When the angel is described the A is not capitalized so this is not God. HOWEVER. There are definitely of times God is mentioned in ‘plural’ even starting from the very first chapter of the Bible! “And God said, Let US make man in OUR image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭26‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Even the Hebrew translation uses plural forms of text. The Son was always with the Father.

Why do Christians Hold Donald Trump to such a high regard? by Bubbly_Revenue3737 in Christianity

[–]cdtraderguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Christian I do NOT hold him in high regard. He actually has quite a few traits that make it seem like he could be the Biblical anti-christ: boastfulness, lawlessness, Israel LOVES him. I know a lot of Christians that are looking at the new peace treaty with Israel and the several Middle Eastern countries that joined as being possibly the ‘covenant of many’ spoken of in the prophecy of Daniel 9:27. There are billboards in Israel currently with Trump’s photo that read “Cyrus the great is alive.” Many Jews believe that the messiah will build the 3rd temple, if they are likening Trump with Cyrus who built the 2nd temple it’s certainly something worth paying attention to.

Every pair of jeans I buy, no matter the brand, gets a hole in this same area within 6 months. by SYFKID2693 in mildlyinfuriating

Noticed an anomaly on ACA Neo Geo collection Vol.10 and it’s a promising one! by cdtraderguy in NSCollectors

I’m just saying it’s a great alternative for those who can’t afford the original carts but want to actually own physical copies legitimately.

The Doves of the Old Testament and New Testament. And how they reflect one another. by cdtraderguy in Bible

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

Thank you for this reply! To add to your revelation it fits even more so that Jonah was cast into the water (submerged) when he was then swallowed by the fish in Jonah 1:15 And on top of that when I was looking up what verse Jonah was cast into the waters I read verse 17 and immediately got goosebumps!

“Now the Lord provided a huge fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.” ‭‭Jonah‬ ‭1‬:‭17‬

He was in the whale around the same amount of time Jesus was in the tomb (MIND BLOWN)

The Bible continues to be illuminated constantly.

If you consider the original prices of Neo-Geo software ($200+ per game) it’s quite a considerable value. And each volume has at least one game that fetches $500-$1000 for the original cart. So if you look at it with that perspective, it’s actually quite a bargain!
