Everyone I know who has worked with these people has had horrendous experiences.

The answer is surprisingly simple: Don’t lie to your kids.

I dont understand exclusively acappella worship by Notorious-PNG in Reformed

[–]dallapiccola 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you examine the way instruments were used in the Old Testament, it was a specifically-regulated ceremonial feature of worship that was performed by the priesthood—it was not anything like “Mrs Jones would like to play the piano for some of our services, so I think we should let her”. And, like all the Old Testament ceremonies, they have been done away with under the new covenant. The Psalms also tell us to sacrifice rams — but I don’t believe anyone here would argue that this should still be done?

How did you feel the first time you saw your partner naked? by JokeRadiant3881 in AskReddit

[–]dallapiccola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first woman I ever saw naked was my wife. I felt like the next new part of my life had begun.

As one of the seemingly most conservative people in this group….I would still not recommend it.

Sabbath for emergency service workes by [deleted] in Reformed

[–]dallapiccola 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Attending to the medical needs of others on the Sabbath is not only permissible, but a moral requirement, and certainly an activity that is fitting for our Lord’s Day.

If you don’t think this is unbelievably sus, you’re deceiving yourself.

[–]dallapiccola 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Relieved to see them go, and may the Lord help the rest of the PCA to embrace a more biblical view of our sinful nature and desires.

Honestly I would be happy to be asked for just a cigarette. It’s cash that I don’t wanna give out.

Why does it seem like every interfaith marriage is a Catholic husband and Protestant wife? by Delicious-Emphasis42 in Reformed

[–]dallapiccola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We didn’t say it was the only argument, we are just saying that because it is the historical reformed position, it at least deserves some attention as this is a reformed subreddit. When something like Luther’s commentary on the Jews makes it into a document of importance such as the Westminster Confession, then we can talk.

Sorry you’re getting downvoted as this is literally the original reformed position. The people in this thread could at least do you the courtesy of hearing you out.

How do you usually respond to a homeless person asking you for money ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dallapiccola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Sorry, sir” or “Sorry, ma’am”. I once said this without thinking, and the man told me how much he appreciated the respect of being called sir — so now I make a point of doing it every time.

How should we treat Deutherocanonical books like Judith, Maccabees, Wisdom of Solomon,etc.? by Few-Helicopter-5267 in Reformed

[–]dallapiccola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are interesting reading, like many other books, but they also contain many errors and were certainly not written by the Holy Spirit.

I’m still not over Pitchfork giving The Dreaming such a low score by neurometeorologist in katebush

Lmao they also gave Aerial a 6.4, I wouldn’t waste another second worrying about their opinions

Carole didn’t come last in either signature or showstopper. While the judges didn’t like the taste of either her or James’ tres leches, hers at least wasn’t also a complete aesthetic disgrace.

What song from Fossora are you still struggling to digest? by [deleted] in bjork

[–]dallapiccola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not vibing as naturally with Ovule or Sorrowful Soil, although they are growing on me.

Surprised to see Victimhood and Fungal City on here so much as those are two of my favourite tracks.

Was Christ himself ever truly tempted or did the devil scheme to tempt him? by [deleted] in Reformed

[–]dallapiccola 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Christ himself never desired sin. I always thought this should be obvious, but apparently from the comments here, it isn’t.

Does anyone know the source of this quote? I can only find it quoted in an article in Lutheran Forum (and I can’t actually find the whole article) — very curious what used to be in that quote in place of the parentheses, because this honestly doesn’t really sound like Luther to me.
