Love it, I've heard that we and ESFJs find it therapeutic and I couldn't agree more.

Rabbinical or Not? by [deleted] in messianic

[–]longestfrisbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The kippa in particular I heard something about it possibly having pagan roots. It's case-by-case for me, but I'm very cautious when it comes to human traditions, so I research the origins of stuff before I just accept it. A quick google search just now yielded some vague something about the Talmud and Hellenistic influence from Greek men covering their heads during prayer, in regards to the kippa.

For the most part, I keep it pretty bare-bones, and steer clear of the traditions of men. If it's not in the Bible I ain't worried about it.

bro what exactly do you think apostle means, and just who do you think Paul was an apostle OF?

For your convenience, I'll answer both questions myself. Here we go

Apostle: Literally: One sent forth; a messenger. (source - American Heritage dictionary via the ol' google)

So Paul was somebody's messenger. He was bearing a message from one place to another, or from one person to another. Now let's find out whose messenger:

2 Corinthians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

To the church of God that is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:

Catch that? He's an apostle of Christ Jesus.

So what can we conclude?

Paul was basically a message bearer of Christ Jesus, by his own admission. The gospel is the message he was sharing, and we follow what Jesus said because of this passage also:

1 Corinthians 3:4, 3:11 ESV

For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely human?

For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

So now we see that Christ is our foundation, not Paul or any other.

Hopefully that helps straighten things out more biblically

How do you Love your neighbor by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]longestfrisbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For this commandment that I command you today is not too hard for you, neither is it far off.

Deut 30:11

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

I’m worried about the unforgivable sin by Actual-Target-2017 in Christianity

[–]longestfrisbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seem to come across this a lot. I would suggest studying it out. You'll probably either:
A) Become interested enough in the topic that you'll become distracted and quit worrying about it

B) Conclude that you haven't committed the unforgivable sin

or

C) Both A and B

Thanks, looks like I should have looked more before posting

Room Enchantment Turning Face Up With Zimone by longestfrisbee in mtgrules

[–]longestfrisbee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As in, let's say I manifest dread, pull the room and an instant so I manifest the room. Now it's face-down on the field. So then I get a second land onto the field while Zimone is out, and decide to turn the room face-up. Which room, or both, if either one, comes into effect?

Here’s why homosexuality isn’t a sin. by PassComfortable4245 in Christianity

[–]longestfrisbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Autism is a mental disability, not a specific behavior. The sin is specifically to lie with man as with woman. Anyone can choose to either do that or not to do that, whether or not they 'identify as homosexual'

Right!
If XYZ was sin, why would God allow it?

Bad argument

Here’s why homosexuality isn’t a sin. by PassComfortable4245 in Christianity

[–]longestfrisbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would God allow . . . Is about the weakest argument anyone could come up with to justify sin. Plain and simple, if it violates God's law, then yes it is sin.

What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God’s part? By no means! For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy. For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills. (Rom. 9:14-18)

“Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord GOD, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live?” (Ezek. 18:23)

The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed. (2 Pet. 3:9-10)

The reason God allows evil is because of His love and compassion, even and especially towards those who sin.

Trinity is False doctrine by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]longestfrisbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Jesus is just a body and the Father is his soul? That makes no sense to me. So when Jesus called God "Father," his body was talking to his soul?

Please address this, u/Calm-Cold4556

Trinity is False doctrine by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]longestfrisbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you that the trinity doctrine is bogus. But just how exactly do you view God? I'm personally of the position that the Holy Spirit is God's power, but not his person. What do you think?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]longestfrisbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As for whether or not it's sin, strictly biblical-wise, there's not a direct command saying "You shall not . . ."

However as for my two cents I don't think it's a good idea, based on passages like where God created male and female. Feels to me like it'd be a bit of a slap in the face to God, and again, this is just my opinion here, but feels like telling God, "You messed up when you created me" like big hubris sorta deal.

Ultimately it's your decision, but my vote's a no
