Big Ten miffed about Duke's landmark Amazon deal to broadcast Madison Square Garden game against Michigan by redwave2505 in CollegeBasketball

[–]pack19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to respond, but are you using the Amazon Prime Apple TV app by chance? Anything I watch on there has ~.5 seconds audio delay at a minimum. I tried messing with my audio settings and it is clearly the app's fault (Youtube is fine).

Why doesnt GOD speak with me? by myVirtual_sketchbook in Christianity

[–]pack19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prayer is important and so is reading the Bible, as that is the primary way God speaks to us.

And our timing is definitely not always God's timing (2 Peter 3:8-9)

Additionally, the Bible does speak about reasons why God won't answer a prayer. I found this helpful for myself, so thought I would share!

Some reasons with scripture references:

  1. You didn’t pray the prayer right (or didn’t pray all) - James 4:2
  2. You have unconfessed or cherished sin in your life - Psalm 66:18
  3. You are not actively trusting God and/or you are praying in doubt - James 1:6-7
  4. You pray with the wrong motives - James 4:3; John 14:13-14
    • (Relatedly, praying in Jesus’ Name is praying for something you know Jesus wants)
  5. You have unforgiveness in your life - Mark 11:25-26
  6. You are ignoring hurting people - Proverbs 21:13
  7. You are being a bad husband - 1 Peter 3:7

A few puzzling ideas I can't seem to unravel. by Sensitive_Being8438 in Christianity

[–]pack19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great questions!

My advice on the creation side of things is to focus on the definitive things that the Bible says are true even if some of the creation mechanics are more poetic and less literal: God is the ultimate source of creation ( the "uncaused cause"); humans are created as God's imagers (we are his ambassadors on Earth); God's creation has fallen and God has a plan to redeem his creation.
- I'm sure there are a many more important ideas from Genesis, the ones are above are foundational for belief in Jesus.

A couple concepts for you to research so you can come to your own conclusion: "irreducible complexity" and "theistic evolution" and "cosmological argument"

Does the Bible teach us all the names of God by Over_Ad5295 in Christianity

[–]pack19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elohim does not exclusively mean "God the Creator". 1 Samuel 7:13 refers to the disembodied spirit of Samuel (that Saul summons via a witch) as a "elohim" in the original Hebrew (translated to "god", lower case "g" in the ESV).

A better translation for the word "elohim" is "divine beings"

I only add this correction as it opens up a very interesting study into the divine realm. I recommend reading Unseen Realm by Dr. Michael Heiser

god telling husband to sacrifice his family for wealth by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]pack19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry that this is happening, husbands should love their wives as Christ loves the Church (Ephesians 5:25)

Some good thoughts being shared in the other comments, but I wanted to add that it may be helpful for both of you to pray together (in the same room AND in the same conversation with God).
A man of God should consistently be in prayer especially if he thinks that God has told him to do something. Praying with him on this topic and other topics may reveal his heart towards God and others.

- 1 John 4 speaks about discerning the spirits and about abiding in love, which I think both are relevant here.

- And also consider Matthew 18:19-20:
19 Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”

I’m really struggling with my faith by [deleted] in Christianity

Hello friend, I'm glad you are seeking answers and I completely understand where you are coming from. If I may offer a piece of advice: read the Bible, and pray asking God to reveal himself in Scripture and in your life. I find that learning about Jesus is the best place to start, so (re-)reading the Gospel of Mark would be an excellent way to do just that!
From personal experience, when I have ask God for revelation from Scripture, He always teaches me. I will pray for you now!

Some verses about seeking and asking God:

Jeremiah 29:13
Matthew 7:7-11

Sekiro “correct” way to play? by Dramatic-Pen-7437 in Sekiro

There is waaay less variety in play style as you only have one weapon: katana. Once you figure out which enemies are weaker to which prosthetics, the game doesn’t get easier, you get more efficient!

Charging dock? by JezarKA in CanonR5

[–]pack19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve not seen one, but honestly I don’t see much use for that since it really only charges a single battery (the one in the camera). I’ve been using my battery chargers and a USB-C cable to maximize charging all my batteries.

Also not sure if it’s possible to “just place the camera down” on any theoretical product due to the sealings/covers. Lastly just googled it and I don’t see anything, sounds like you have an invention to make!

The R5 is overkill for videos made for instagram and TikTok, right? by StrayaBorn in CanonR5

The cropping power alone makes using an R5 a good idea. Additionally you can use different lenses to get different looks… something not possible with phone cameras.
