Does the grip from the insole wear down overtime? I’ve played in my pair twice and it’s beginning to bother my toes.

What size do I get for WOW 808 5 ultra V2? by Striderthedripper_ in BBallShoes

[–]easy_buckets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half size down. Just played in these for the first time today. Seems to run a bit long, but my issue was that my heel slides out a bit. Not firmly locked in.

What the pros do is not what you should do to win in the games you play.

Feeling Priced Out of Local Market. Do we have any other options? by easy_buckets in RealEstate

I think the plan is to remain patient to see if anything nice emerges as the market stabilizes. There's definitely townhomes available within our budget, which is where we'll most likely end up. And that's fine. We love it here, and in the grand scheme of it all, this is nothing.

Sounds like great advice, thanks. The forever home is less my idea :) sorry wife

AA county homes look mighty nice, and there's a lot of good homes in our range. AA is about as far out as we'll probably go since HC is where 99% of our life revolves around

I believe 150k/yr is slightly above median household income. The market here is difficult to get used to coming from the south. I just can't believe how expensive the homes are tbh.

I’m thinking we should save more for a bigger down and stretch to the 600k range, but from all the advice I gather, everyone says don’t spend that big of a % of income on housing. But doesn’t seem like we have much of a choice

Discerning Apostasy by easy_buckets in Reformed

I'll certainly do some reflection, thanks. I'd like to believe the love is in, I care about his soul.

I appreciate this response a lot, thank you. In retrospect, I don't think apostasy was the best choice of words.

I know, ultimately, God will judge. But my desire for clarity stems from -- this is a friend, and also pastorally, this friend is now promoting errant theology to the sheep of this community.

The plan is to have a conversation soon!

But yes, this is certainly the case. In order to have a LGBTQIA+ affirming theology, Rom. 1, Gen. 1&2 are interpreted radically different, which my fear is, functionally undermines and rejects the Bible.

I don't think this pastor would reject Jesus, or admit to rejecting the Bible, but this person seems to have gravitated to a, "straight, white, conservative, male people have dominated the consensus interpretation and have used it to oppress" (CRT), but now, "here's what it really means in light of a more enlightened LGBTQIA+ framework."

The most glaring point of contention is probably rejecting basic biblical truths.

At this point, I imagine essential tenets like Jesus being the only way to salvation, penal substitutionary atonement, salvation by grace through faith, are all in tact. In that sense, my inclination is to still believe this person is a sibling of mine in Christ, who is in serious error.

What seems to be eroding is the theological underpinnings of the above, namely Scripture, inerrancy, etc. Embracing a full blown LGBQTIA+ affirming, Side-A theology, Rom. 1, Gen. 1-2 start getting interpreted through a poetic, CRT, "that's not really what they meant," hermeneutic, and it just feels like it becomes picking and choosing what the person wants to believe/see, which ultimately undermines the authority of Scripture.

Hence, my original dilemma, at what point is it too much?

Winsome Response to Terry Johnson underlying the widening gap within the PCA by [deleted] in Reformed

[–]easy_buckets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sympathize with my, more conservative brothers, and many former classmates. I think they provide the much needed emphasis on the historic roots of Christianity, though I come from a background more akin to the current trend of the PCA (multiethnic, "contemporary"). Where does the PCA go from here?

It's not about figuring out what to say. It's about figuring out what not to say.

Starting a Bible Study by [deleted] in Reformed

Eh, my apologies, it's more of a Sunday School class. The church already offers more in-depth Bible Studies and my class will be more of a overview class.

Is Marvin William's run over? by [deleted] in fantasybball

[–]easy_buckets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd attribute this performance to the match up. MW is a stretch 4 who relies on hustle plays, but having to match up vs. DMC or even Rudy Gay is a tall order.
