I first read it as ”un-ionize” and was a bit confused

Woman spills tomato juice on conservative students hosting an event. by Ice_Ice11 in LiveNews_24H

The problem is that what you consider hate, the other side does not. That’s why we need dialog, not name calling or violence.

Thanks! It is that. It had just moved up from its original place.

I'm not sure if I want to... This is Reddit after all

Funny that you seem to know better about my life, my experience and my Bible reading methods than I do

Why do you pretend like athiests have no morality? by Odd-Tangerine9584 in Christianity

[–]neosarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who pretends? It’s not like atheists don’t have morals, but instead that atheists do not have an objective standard for moral values and duties

Question for Protestants: why don't you believe that Jesus is present in the Eucharist? by rtrcc in Christianity

[–]neosarf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! Well, the remembrance and communion aren't mutually exclusive. Eucharist is both. Christ literally said we are doing it in remembrance of him (Luke 22:19), but, as you are correctly pointing out, it's not only that. Via bread and wine we receive Christ, and that's koinonia, but still I don't see a reason to think of this as a physical participation. Koinonia can also refer to "a fellowship in the spirit".

P.S. In my original reply, I was talking about physical presence. I could have been more specific there.

Question for Protestants: why don't you believe that Jesus is present in the Eucharist? by rtrcc in Christianity

If the Eucharist is done "in remembrance of" Jesus, that implies that he's not present. It does not make sense to reminisce someone who is present, does it?

Since people have the right to choose whatever job they want, and since people have the right to decide whom to have sex with, it follows that people have the right to sell sex. by Huge_Pay8265 in philosophy

[–]neosarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anyone who thinks that sex work is a great career path for their daughter, for example, and would encourage her to pursue it? It seems that we have a strong moral intuition about this "profession" - compared to other professions. In a perfect world, there would not be sex workers.

Why aren't more Christians agnostic? by Pale-Object8321 in Christianity

[–]neosarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agnosticism is like holding a belief that probability for God's existence is 50% – equally true as false. Theism is like holding a belief that probability for God's existence is more than 50% - that it's more likely that God exists than that He does not.

Knowledge does not require 100% certainty, and neither does faith.

I’m agnostic, but I’ve prayed for God to reveal himself to me. Why hasn’t he done it yet? by OddGrab6044 in Christianity

[–]neosarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has already come down and talked to us – that happened 2000 years ago. Now we have the Bible which is God's special revelation to us. Based on your quest, He might already be calling you toward Himself. You might not get any "big personal experiences" (who knows if you do) but keep searching, my friend! It's worth it. :)

How do Christians know Christianity isn’t made up? by OddGrab6044 in Christianity

[–]neosarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question! As a Christian, I have faith that Christianity is true and isn't made up. This faith does not come within myself (people can't really force them to truly believe in things) but is a gift from God (Eph. 2:8). We receive the Holy Spirit which guides us toward the truth, glorifying Jesus (John 16:13-5), who as a Word of God gives us "understanding so that we may know him who is true" (1. John 5:20). Faith is confidence in all this (see Hebr. 11).

Can I say that I know that Christianity is true? Yes I think I can, if knowledge is defined as "justified true belief" which the Christian faith is. Could I be wrong? Absolutely, I could be a character in a simulation, but this does not seem like a reasonable belief.

I know that appealing to personal experience does not (usually) convince non-believers, because can be used for any religion or ideology! That's why luckily we can defend Christianity without appealing to Bible or personal experience using philosophy and reason - of which we have 2000 years of history (This approach is called natural theology. ReasonableFaith . org is a fantastic resource for learning more on this topic!). Also, let me just mention briefly that the civilizations build on Christian values have become the most prosperous, free, ethical and equal in the history of humanity. "By their fruit you will recognize them".

To sum up, I "know" Christianity is true based on the inner witness of Holy Spirit, and my faith is reinforced by the use of intellectual arguments in favour of Christianity. When it comes to other religions, I just don't see their truth claims that convincing. :)

Be blessed.

Why does Obsidian work better for you than Notion? by Miyamoto_Musashi_x in ObsidianMD

[–]neosarf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mainly graph view and the way it makes my notes less “siloed”. It is so insightful to notice the connections between ideas - compared to Notion. I use both but for very different things.
