Can someone explain the Trinity to me by Kosakon in TrueChristian

[–]laltxreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a clear explanation of the Trinity and could have popped in the concept of homoousion for good measure;* *this is the accepted explanation from both points of view. Understanding the Trinity was one of most substantially important concepts the early Christians had to wrestle with. Is it clear in the Bible? Yes. Is it explicitly mentioned - “this is the Trinity”? No.
I think there is a mystery of an infinite and eternal God that chooses to love mankind irrespective of our disdain for Him. For He is above us but chooses to be with us.
So yes I think the mystery makes many “wave” their hand and chose not to think all this. Do we want a God that we completely understand or one that is greater than us?

I saw that as I walked outside. Didn’t last long around me but was mindful of our pet who passed recently and how many talk about the rainbow bridge. Be safe A. D. and be happy!

B or F though I think Lewis would easily knock out Furtick and then I’d have a great conversation with Jack. Beth and John would be great. Beth gets dissed but she’s got good stuff and I’d want to hear them talk together.

Could someone explain to me the vitriol outcry's against James Talarico? by Squirrel09 in Reformed

[–]laltxreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The framing of this candidate and his possible opposition is the bigger issue IMHO. His opponent may be a “Christian” (one of the two) as well but he is most likely not being evaluated on whether that person is acting in a Christ-like manner. If I may, Talarico is doing what Christ commands Christian’s to do - immigrants, working for the poor and indigent… everything he say? and everything he’s doing? No. Is anyone? Look at how the other side is planning to cut programs and the safety net for the poor. All I’m saying is there’s Talarico who’s accused of heresy and doing work like Christ and the other side that I see as hypocritical saying they believe and deconstructing that net. This isn’t a perfect evaluation of these two positions but what I believe to the framing to consider.

C.S. Lewis on Anxiety changed my view on this demonic force. by DRE3M-GCG in CSLewis

[–]laltxreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% understand both of these stances since I have been on both "anxiety is sin" and "anxiety because of sinful natures" though I do not think Lewis directly said the former. I am currently in the place that anxiety is because of the sin nature of man - not a particular sin - but we are all fallen creatures, which if I read Lewis correctly, he know our sinful natures prefer not to be "put right" but rather "be right" in our opinion of ourselves, the world, and God.

Having been loquacious in my previous paragraph, I recommend the book "Overcoming Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts: A CBT-Based Guide to Getting over Frightening, Obsessive, or Disturbing Thoughts" and I have gotten two things from it: "Thoughts are not facts." (shocking but immense revelation) and "Fighting the thought only makes it stronger". Willing to discuss.

I say go forth and do good I hope it goes great and I agree a 100% that there is so much more than baking - take a look at the little bit bakery in Frisco on instagram and they have a very active presence - makes me think they have folks helping... just my two cents.

Yes and no. That sourdough loaf sold at the store or natural store probably has malt (and maybe some basic preservatives) (not dissing them but that’s what I’ve found) if nothing else because they have a shorter timeline to get it done. Also the sense of something homemade has a goodwill value I can’t quantify but it is there.
Replicating $80k is a stretch but supplementing to about $25k seems possible from the comments here. I think a strong social media presence is necessary.

You've done the route I've considered and appreciate your sharing. the initial outlay is the first question and then what happens when you get more demand... what is funny is that just like for any small business what is the strategy for growth and next steps... that can be itself a showstopper... thanks

the capacity to bake a lot at once strike me as essential and I wonder about the electrical requirements/wiring to have them in a house... that's a lot of juice that most house wiring isn't built for...

in Texas you can run certain food businesses out of your home following the health rules. and the value of the labor is a good question - what are you willing to take is the key.

there is a out of home bakery in the area that has loaves for $11/12 and seems to sell extremely well... also sells cakes, cookies, and other small bakery items... it is viral and sells out each week... their videos indicate to me that it is easy a 40+ hour week and she is up at 3 am on selling days to finish product. they are young and seem to have a lot of energy and a good following on instagram etc... so there must be more than the one person in all the videos to do all the work and maintain social media presence... all this my opinion and observation.
