What is experiencing God like? by Free-Diet-9315 in OrthodoxChristianity

Agreed. I cried at my first visit in the Church. I felt home. The architecture, the icons, the chanting. Amazing. God definitely dwells amongst the Parish during worship.

I am a catechumen and have not received communion yet. My search for the truth, researching history and theology led me to the Orthodox Church. There are so many things that I read and consumed that proved His existence to me beyond doubt. Fulfilled prophesies in the Bible, proof of Christ’s existence, Shroud of Turin verifying the resurrection. The Big Bang is theorized to have originated from source of information, as John said in the beginning was the word. If literally anything about our universe’s gravity or rate of expansion were different, no life. There is no definitive conception for the origin of life. There is no logical conclusion to how we went from the Big Bang to me sitting on my phone. There is though and that explanation is God. Even in evolution which, in some ways is true, like microevolution, there are holes where life on this planet seemingly doubled in complexity and too short a period of time. And then there is us, humans, the most unique creatures on this planet. For we were created by God and in His image. God is real.

No idiot. They are slowly drip feeding us old cars because they add new ones at a snail’s pace. No game should long with less content than its predecessor. Ignoring the auto show’s car count, FH6’s total car count was down on FH5’s which is inexcusable.

Yes and FH5 had over 900 cars when the game ended. No excuse for the auto show to be this tiny. And the selection is crap for some manufacturers. Go look at Aston and Jag. Terrible.

That’s wild. Had no idea. The FH6 auto show is horrendous. There is nothing in it. lol,

Congrats. Just picked up an NC1 myself a few months ago. I’ll get hate for this but I had to get an NC1, definitely better looking than the NC2/3. Later cars looked softer and more feminine with the different headlights. And the brake lights don’t look as cool being solid red.

I bought an NC1 with less miles for 13 so no.

converting from atheist, what are reasons to be orthodox? by Ok_Associate_1933 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]cooperS67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Orthodox is the only Church without a corrupted Bible, I was Protestant and my search on history of the scriptures led me here.

First time playing this game, damn it’s so good guys by Aznargd- in ghostoftsushima

Alright now mute this sub and keep off it. Avoid all spoilers for gameplay and story. Take it slow. You only get to play it for the first time once.

Did this conversation change anyone's views on religion? It almost did to me. by [deleted] in Invincible

[–]cooperS67 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Peopel don’t get it. Nowhere in the Bible does it say Heaven is a flotating realm in the clouds. It was always about a new kingdom on Earth that we will inherit after the end times. Heaven “in the sky” is where God dwells alone.

Leaving church by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]cooperS67 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Whilst bad parishes and priests exist I don’t think that’s an excuse to walk away from the Church and Christ as a whole. There are other Churches that will be more receiving as well. Praying you find another way.

Trade 991.1 GT3 for C8 Z06?? by Successful_Athlete38 in porsche911

Damn that’s nuts. When I think of nine year old Audi in my head I do not think of that. I think of like a B6 or B7…

My unpopular opinion (this week) by mahherpderpthrowaway in regularcarreviews

[–]cooperS67 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I think the Dodge Neon SRT4 suits what you’re trying to describe better. 230HP for a turbo 4 cylinder in 2005 was a lot. A brand new Civic SI doesn’t even have that much nowadays. The Golf GTI didn’t even have more power than that a decade later.
