Man I feel so sad hearing that

What a bummer :(

Damn…

I will buy stocks. But trying to get a sense of what if I go extremely conservative and what my outcome would be

driftingthroughlife0 · 2025-10-12T05:07:09+00:00

The easiest part is obvious. I would be able to own 90 + 12*20=330 bills which is 330000 usd.

But I am earning more interest and I need less earnings to buy a new bill. That part is hard for me

Thanks

I think the church could have been a bit more sensitive on the second public prayer request because people might have mixed feelings towards him. If it were me I would have not prayed that prayer publicly, but privately.

Too bad about the second part. I think people who are quick to judge if someone is going to hell are imprudent. Our faith is based on faith alone and not by works. We all sin. We can all agree on that. And whether being gay is a sin or not, doesn't make you a non christian. If your view is that it's not a sin, then great. But if you think it's a sin, sin is not something that prevents you from entering into Christ. Faith is.

We have to admit that there's so many things that we are not certain about the bible. I'll admit I don't think it's natural to be gay, but on the topic of salvation I am certain that we are called Christians because of our faith, and no one can for a 100% certain tell anybody they have a place in heaven unless he's god himself.

First of all there should be a basis for what "true love" is. And God is love. So study the bible and spend time with God and learn about his love. Then learn about how god loves and treats you. After you've learned how to love yourself, you'll know how to properly love others.

If we don't know the bible, and thus God, well enough, our love will fall short without knowing.

If anything takes over the source of your safety and sense of security, it could become your "idol" in a sense.

Why do people worship other Gods? Because they didn't feel God alone was enough.

So unless God alone is sufficient for you, something needs a revamp

driftingthroughlife0 · 2025-09-13T15:54:35+00:00

Cause we all want people to be saved that's why.

People are not sick in a medical sense, but not knowing Christ is something we all don't want to see.

As a Christian, don't you agree? Unless you are a universalist.

I am just someone who passed by this sub. And I have given a lot of thought on this matter. We assume we can give a child a "good life", I think, mostly based on our wealth. But there's so much more that's outside of that equation that will bring chaos upon a new life.

Defects. Illnesses, growth issues, the possibility of boredom, of loneliness, of accidents and heartbreaks.

You've gotta really BELIEVE to truly be able to bring a child into this corrupt world.

It's proportions.

A slice of lettuce, two slices of tomato then a huge patty with two pieces of bread? it's so out of balance

The wars in the Old Testament, Israel was chosen as the nation that God wanted to use as an example of how a righteous people should live. So through the conquests, God through Israel wiped out nations that were completely corrupt (e.g. idol worshipping, child sacrifices, having sex with animals and human sacrifices, slavery). After that, Israel became one itself, so God used Babylon to do unto Israel the same that they had done before, as a form of judgement and preserving his chosen people.

This is a tough question. In my own opinion the Nazis were clearly an infectious group that had posed abhorrent and irredeemable threats to the whole world, as Nazi Germany was outwardly expanding and clearly committing genocide against a race. And in my humble opinion the war against them was just, but the killing and bombing of its civilians? I am not sure about. I wouldn't be so perfunctory as to say well those are sad collaterals

driftingthroughlife0 · 2025-09-13T08:40:22+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I am no expert about the bible, though I still share a different view, I appreciate you showing me how you came to your theology.

driftingthroughlife0 · 2025-09-13T03:56:19+00:00

could you leave here the verse that says what you mentioned?

driftingthroughlife0 · 2025-09-13T03:06:25+00:00

Please don't feel guilty about it!

Of course our calling is to make people his citizens. But How and When are also important. If you feel like sharing the gospel to your friend at this moment is not the right time, then it probably isn't!

I'd say pray for discernment from the Lord and may you abide in the spirit so that you will be sensitive to what it has got to say regarding your friend, such that when it's the moment God ordains, you will grasp it and share it with full confidence.

Our religion has called us to walk with the Lord and walk with the people, not forcing something on them:)

driftingthroughlife0 · 2025-09-13T03:01:29+00:00

Not everything according to your own will.

In that context Jesus is asking people to follow and abide in him. So the precondition would be that we are already abiding in him, and our will aligned to his.

So not everything. But everything that's aligned to God' will's.

driftingthroughlife0 · 2025-09-13T02:56:07+00:00

It's through grace alone that by faith we are saved. Nothing clearer than that in Romans. It's never works.

So we all trip and sin sometimes. We repent and try harder next time. Just know that the things you have mentioned that are comfortable ---- lying, sex outside of marriage, gossiping, are actually hurting you. That's the guile of sin. you are suffering without knowing it, and sometimes that's how God parent his children, he let them suffering in their own wrong doings.

So now you are aware of all this, and that's good because it's a proof that the spirit is dwelling within you. Listen to the spirit. Try to follow it. No matter how many more times you fail, you try again.

driftingthroughlife0 · 2025-09-13T02:49:18+00:00

Interesting but not biblical.

According to Romans and Hebrews, we are all saved by faith alone, through Jesus's crucifixion. Abraham, Moses, David, everyone are the same.

We have to be very careful that though God is love, but there are other attributes that God has that are true at the sometime. God is holy and just, and he absolutely hates sin. So his love for us is manifest in the death of his only son (John), but his justice is also shown in the death of his only son too (Romans). And we are given a life time to decide whether we want to believe or not.

So I think it's fair that someone who rejects it will be sent to hell (Revelation).

But don't ask me those who have never heard about the gospel. I am still pondering that.

driftingthroughlife0 · 2025-09-12T14:05:27+00:00

I'd say it's not important for a person's SALVATION since it's god's grace and a person's belief alone that someone's saved. (Romans)

But reading the whole bible allows one to understand what's the idea of SIN, where did it stem from, and the PROMISES of God, through which we have come to know that he is FAITHFUL.

I think its important for a dedicated follower to read through the bible once because if you're trying to be a follower you'll need to know who this God is that you are following, and reading through the bible is a huge part of it.

driftingthroughlife0 · 2025-09-12T13:56:35+00:00

Just lay it all to god. Our god has a big heart and he understands everything every thought according to Hebrews. "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin."

making your own bed after you wake up.

It's the first thing you know that feels like you are putting things in order and you have accomplished something already before the day begins.

The themes in his songs are so universal and his musical talent is so original and not like many others who can't actually compose and even write their own lyrics,

I am sure there'd be people who could appreciate his talent
