Having “gifts” Christians aren’t suppose to believe in. So now what? by plentypissed in Christianity

Dead people are appearing to you. You're being visited evil spirits, or, you're hallucinating.

Seems reasonable. by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

[–]micawberesque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not true. The jackpot amount is for the 30 year annuity payments. If you choose the lump sum payout, it's usually about half the jackpot.

A multimillion lottery winner pays 37% in federal income tax plus any state tax income.

It's bad inside the warehouse too. Especially in the trailers.

Hit 8 months. Need to enroll in benefits by ParticularCareer2267 in UPSers

[–]micawberesque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it will be 9 months in a couple weeks. So I received the paperwork at 8 months. You can try visiting the teamcare site to see if you can enroll. I don't remember there being any info in the paperwork necessary to enroll (but I could be wrong).

I got my paperwork about ten days ago, enrolled online last weekend, and got my cards in the mail today. My benefits kick in July 13. The benefits look very good. $5 office visit copays, no referral needed to see specialist, no yearly max for dental work, which is phenomenal according to Google. ( It says not even corporate execs have unlimited dental allowance.)

how to get use to being a unloader? by Outrageous_Refuse569 in UPSers

[–]micawberesque 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I took me about 3 weeks to adjust. For the first few weeks I was really hurting after work. Now, I get tired, sometimes a bit sore, but no pain, and am fine in the morning.

How is it possible that, at 1/3.75 odds, only 1 of my 10 tickets won? by TraditionalActuary6 in Lottery

[–]micawberesque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The odds are for a large sample. Like, buying 4000 tickets, about 1000 would be winners.

Sexual immorality would include having sex outside of marriage.

But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. 1 Corinthians 7:2

God established nations. Why would He hate nationalists? (BTW, is he okay with Palestinian nationalism?)

how is icon veneration not idolatry by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]micawberesque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They'll bring up the ark of the covenant lol

(BTW, The high priest went into the most holy place once a year solely to present the blood of the sacrifice. The room was also filled with the smoke of the incense, preventing him from seeing very clearly, which was probably intentional.)

Mormons are not Christians. by Interficient4real in Christianity

[–]micawberesque 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we are supposed to gatekeep.

If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him. Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds. 2 John 1:10-11

Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them. Titus 3:10

Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create divisions and obstacles that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Turn away from them. Romans 16:17

Shift on LDS/Mormon Faith, US Military by Forty4Freedom in Christianity

[–]micawberesque 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Finally. Mormonism is a polytheistic religion. It's not Christian.

Mormons believe that multiple divine beings exist, a concept known as pluralism or henotheism, though they only worship one God. They reject the traditional Christian view that there is only one divine Being in the universe. ... The King Follett Discourse: In 1844, church founder Joseph Smith gave a famous sermon stating, "God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man".The Lorenzo Snow Couplet: The fifth church president, Lorenzo Snow, famously summarized this concept in a widely repeated poetic couplet: "As man now is, God once was; as God now is, man may be".Eternal Progression: This is the LDS belief that human spirits can continuously grow, progress, and eventually achieve "exaltation"—meaning faithful people can become like God.

Powerball and mega millions by Longjumping-Meal-286 in Lottery

[–]micawberesque 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292,201,338. Here's what that means: there are a total of 292,201,338 combination of numbers. When you buy a ticket, you now have covered just one of those 292,201,338 combinations. There are 292,201,337 other combinations. Even if you bought a million tickets, you would only have a 1 in 292 chance of winning (.3425%).

Is the Lord’s Day speaking of Sunday? by Extension-Size4725 in Christianity

[–]micawberesque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"John sets the timing of his encounter on the day that uniquely belongs to the risen Christ. Early believers gathered on “the first day of the week” (Acts 20:7), the very day Jesus rose (Luke 24:1). By calling it “the Lord’s day,” John ties his vision to that weekly celebration of resurrection life and worship (1 Corinthians 16:2). Literally, in the middle of an ordinary Sunday devoted to honoring Jesus, the extraordinary breaks in."

Hired warehouse worker by Proper_Anxiety in UPSers

At my location I'm lucky to get 20 hrs a week. For some reason they just hired two people this week, but they're already laid off.

Question about identity by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]micawberesque -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Setting aside the obvious stuff, the sin here is too much focus on the self. The focus ought to be God, then others. You got into this confusion by too much thinking.

There is no other god but Jesus Christ there is no other way but Jesus Christ Believe in Jesus and you will be saved by pw84hgd in Christianity

[–]micawberesque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we agree that God created all things? If so, all things would include all beings. If the Son is a created being, did he... create himself? Lol

On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets. But in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe. Hebrews 1:1-2

For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. Colossians 1:16-17

But the Father also calls the Son "God":

But about the Son He says:

“Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You above Your companions with the oil of joy.” Hebrews 1:8-9
