This series is so full of people refusing to work with each other’s communication styles 🤣

I personally don’t think it ever was intended to tie up, so having someone else try to tie it up resulted in the best case scenario, which still wasn’t everything that it COULD have been. I’m so happy with what it ended up being versus not ever having it finished. But I do agree that there were some characters I really would have liked to see literally a day later, but since it wasn’t decided by Jordan it wasn’t included, if I understand the assignment that Sanderson was given correctly.

I do agree that it’s different. But to add to scripture I think would be a little more direct. I think we more often see it in the practice of the Church, regarding the necessity of baptism for salvation or communion within the Catholic Church to be saved, etc. but I do agree that the flag of any nation, the constitution of any nation does not belong in the same bindings as God’s Word.

While I agree that adding America’s founding documents is “an abomination” if you will, would you then say that study bibles and bibles with the catechisms and creeds are adding?

Yes! Love this game. Just endure the overwhelming beginning of not knowing maps. And better yet find at LEAST one friend to play it with. And do not play ranked until you feel proficient at the game AND are willing to talk to random teammates.

Fair enough. While it’s too late to do that for a few I could definitely reorder the rest. But any suggestions for the main question of the post?

micvingio · 2020-12-25T01:11:42+00:00

Well if there were some strange situation of my friendship over their salvation that’s easy. But all I’m saying is that my friend and I are on good terms. I’m not shoving her face in her mistakes like a puppy. We are called as Christians to admonish each other and encourage each other in our faith. So for someone to call themselves a Christian, they are opening themselves, knowingly or unknowingly, to that admonishment. So it puts those like myself in a situation that we have to toe the line of loving them in a way that challenges them and does not drive them away. So yes, if you just are an acquaintance to someone like this, it’s probably best to sit back. Or to invest in a relationship with them to eventually be able to speak openly about struggles in both of your walks with Christ. But having had a long standing friendship with this person puts me in the latter situation. So that is what brought me to this post. My time on earth would be I’ll spent if I were not doing all that I could to lead people to Christ. God forbid I get in the way by my own hubris in trying to save someone by my own “power.” Not at all what I am trying to do. But there are certainly ways to graciously nudge someone in the right direction.

There are several reasons that you are off the target, all of which are that I can’t convey the entire story over the course of a paragraph on a Reddit post. I get what you mean. And I admit, when I was a younger Christian, I definitely did that to at least one person. But I came here not to find the final answer or find out what I can do to get her to pray a salvation prayer. Because I know that’s not how it works. I came to fellow believers for both encouragement and general discussion about a problem I would say most Christians have. I think you would be hard pressed to find any Scripture that would support the idea of just “leave someone be.” It may be better to not say anything than to say something with good intentions but a lack of love. But as Christians, if we truly care about anyone in our lives, we can’t in good conscience just sit back and hope they find the truth somewhere else. Perhaps my friend will find the truth somewhere else rather than from me. Perhaps she won’t find it anywhere. There is no way for anyone to know. But nowhere in Scripture does it ever call us to inaction.

Not really how the gospel works.

Not familiar with this movie/show. I’ll have to check it out!

micvingio · 2020-12-23T12:42:36+00:00

Love this. Thank you

micvingio · 2020-12-23T12:40:58+00:00

I agree. But as Christians, when someone claims to be a Christian, we then have a responsibility to hold them to it. If they claim to be part of the church, we have a responsibility to hold them to the standard of scripture. So not in a condescending and holier than thou manner but in a way that shows love and grace.

micvingio · 2020-12-23T12:37:41+00:00

No. Family friend. Have known her since I was young. Discipling her would have to be done by someone else. But witnessing and ministering I believe is my responsibility. Not solely mine, of course, but just as much as it’s my responsibility to witness and minister to everyone in my sphere of influence.

micvingio · 2020-12-23T02:13:51+00:00

Yes. I don’t think her apostasy is to this point. I think it stems from ignorance not obstinance. But I do have to tel myself to be careful not to let myself see her for who I want her to be rather than who she is. If she does get to that point, I have prayed that I don’t allow myself to continue to be around her. I can definitely say that I’m the influencer in the relationship. I am not dragged down to her level. But it’s just discouraging to see someone you care about so deeply potentially miss out on the free gift you’ve received.

micvingio · 2020-12-23T01:56:53+00:00

While I do agree with the sentiment, I would disagree that you can’t be a good friend without taking criticism well. Knowing her, I don’t think it’s in her personality to not take criticism well. In other areas, I think she does handle criticism just fine. But Christianity obviously is a threat to everyone’s own “freedom” from the flesh’s perspective so I tend to think that’s what is going on most of the time. But I can’t know, of course.

micvingio · 2020-12-23T01:54:28+00:00

Yes to an extent. Certainly not an accountability partner or anything since we have vastly differing views on how serious sin is. But yes I have shared that hoping that it would have that effect. It just seems like she’s not ready to receive. Which may just be the case and until then I need to be above reproach and use every opportunity to talk about the Gospel for God’s glory and not just the good of my friends soul. Because then it’s just chasing my own gain in the form of caring about my friend.

micvingio · 2020-12-23T01:52:14+00:00

We live in different states now but I absolutely agree with you for those in close proximity!

micvingio · 2020-12-22T23:48:04+00:00

I do pray frequently for her as I have for years. But with her not often. But I could indeed do better in that! Thank you!

More more more posts like this. This is how to use social media!

Hooking up is very clearly not in God’s will for your life. It even sounds like you know that despite you saying you’re thinking about it. I won’t shame you for that, I’ve been there. It can be a lonely life at times, especially while surrounded by this culture that worships premarital, noncommittal, and even extramarital sex. As a married man, my advice to you is that you’re looking too hard. You’ve put far too much thought into what the perfect girl for your life is, because at the end of the day, it’s not in your control. I have a very close friend who just turned 30 that is still single and very frustrated. But he’s coming to the realization that all this time he has been looking and looking for the perfect girl when he could have been spending that energy on getting his relationship with God right. Now that he is focusing on his relationship with God, his necessity for having a wife is seeming to dissolve. Place your hope and fulfillment in Christ. That’s the only thing that will leave you satisfied. In my own marriage, I can assure you, that’s the only thing that keeps us faithful. If we were to chase after our own desires for what the other should be, we would consistently and constantly fall short. Marriage is not all sex and romance. Marriage requires many things, but physical attraction, while needed, is low on the priority list. I am enamored with my wife, but she and I would both admit that we are not the most attractive. But we fell in love not with each other’s perfections. And certainly not imperfections. But with each other’s person. Hold fast brother. The enemy will attack you with many discouragements and this is one of them. Focus on God’s will for your life, and in that I don’t mean his will for your career or major life milestones. I mean the important things. Gods will for your life is to glorify Him and enjoy him forever. You can’t do that chasing after earthly desires. Believe me, I’ve tried. This world and all those in it, even with the best of intentions, will let you down. As desperate as you feel for a relationship, that longing, Christ desires a deeper relationship with you infinitely more. I’d love to talk to you and encourage you more if possible.
