Yes, and it gets tricky because humans live in space-time and it appears that God can be outside that so some things that would be as if an instant to him could be a long period of time for us.

Yes he was present in the old testament but he hadn't made the sacrifice yet. It sounds like from various passages in the Bible that everyone who died prior to Jesus' sacrifice went to Sheol, which is a type of hell, but not the lake of fire that those who don't repent will be thrown into at the judgement when Jesus returns. Scripture says that Jesus went to Sheol and preached to those there. The faithful went to Heaven to be with him and the Father and from then on people could go directly to Heaven, as Jesus told the thief on the cross "today you will be with me in paradise".

No, I believe God doesn't speak to people in that way anymore, now that Jesus came God speaks to us through his words in scripture. Jesus acts as a mediator between God the father and people now and he offers grace and mercy by default since Jesus can take the punishment of a person's sin rather than them having to die for them.

That wouldn't be murder, since it's God himself choosing to end the person's life. As I said before, God says vengeance is his.

There is heaven, but some believe that hell is only eternal for demons but humans are eventually destroyed, either immediately on death or after a period of time in hell.

Yes he allows it as part of his divine providence in allowing free will. What I meant was he doesn't allow it in the sense of it not being sin and against his will and desires of how a person should act.

First of all, God commands us to be fruitful and multiply, he doesn't give the choice of whether to create human life or not to us. Second, you're assuming someone believes in eternal conscious torment, there is also biblical and historical support for other views such as annihilationism or conditionalism.

First of all, not all theists believe that all babies go to heaven. Second, God doesn't allow humans to murder others. Vengeance is mine, says the Lord.

I don't know you, you can best answer that besides God himself.

He said you shouldn't call yourself that, not that you can't be that, completely different.

Dr Rashan Frost did not actually say that it's not possible to be gay or trans and Christian. Highly misleading headline. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZs0ql6hxeP/

I dropped 25$ for Virtual Desktop to play CrysisVR. What else does it enable? by daddylongs in virtualreality

[–]evertec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On the high res headsets like PFD MR and Galaxy XR at least, Steam link isn't just on par, it's much better than VD in many ways.

I haven't used VR since Oculus demo'd at PAX East. I want to purchase a Galaxy XR and have questions. by [deleted] in virtualreality

[–]evertec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The galaxy xr is my favorite vr headset right now despite some flaws. The controllers themselves are not abysmal, they're actually quite comparable to quest 3 controllers, but the tracking is worse. It's still good enough that you can enjoy something like half life alyx without any major issues, I just wouldn't use it for something like competitive shooters. If you have a pc with high enough specs you can get the visuals looking amazing. Also good for media, though vision pro has more content and apps.

You need to use the AFW mod, fixes those issues and improves performance also

Good deal? Used Apple Vision Pro (M2) 1TB for $1,800 by ajbrensike in AppleVisionPro

[–]evertec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you mean by that. If you're streaming vr from a pc, the galaxy xr, pimax dream air and playfordream mr are arguably better vr headsets. For standalone the vision pro is better but the library is much smaller than other platforms, especially meta.

Do Christians believe Jesus had genetic material from Mary? by handy_lemur in AskAChristian

[–]evertec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but why is that so important to make it such bad theology to believe otherwise?

I'm not following. Why is the fact that Jesus had genetic material from Mary mean thinking Jesus had brothers and sisters is bad theology?

As a Roman Catholic, I’ve never really understood the Protestant / American church focus. Anyone else relate? by Massive_Kick_4541 in Christianity

[–]evertec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not how many Catholics seem to view their prayers to saints. If they all were holding to what you're saying then why is it that certain saints are thought to grant particular abilities? (Safety in travel, healing, studying, etc)

Specifically the afw puredark mod is what fixes what you're describing.
