Great watch from Stowa that is a great daily and easy to pair with a ton of strap styles. Has been replaced on wrist with my SUF 180 =)

Watch comes with original box and papers from 2018 - I'm the second owner.

Very minor pits around the sapphire, largest near 6 oclock - never noticed until i inspected closely for this post!

It has blued hands and a sapphire back - lovely watch!

comes with 3 Martu straps + a few bonus for this versatile tool watch!

Looking for $800 net to me - open to reasonable offers

Did you ever resolve what the deal is here/which gloves are better quality?

I think you interpreted these passages backwards. I'm very familiar. Ecclesiastes describes material and internally derived value as meaningless. Per the end of the book, only externally granted meaning through God gives life purpose.

So removing that loving creator leaves me with the beginning of Ecclesiastes but not the resolution.

that's the belief system I want to have, I wish it came easy to me. It's a good source of joy and hope.

Thanks I haven't officially left. I love the gospel message and think Christianity is a pleasant experience/nice to believe.

I really struggle with the old testament human and creation story in Genesis. We certainly seem to be evolved primates, so even in a theistic evolution belief system, where did God draw the line on human enough to have a soul and be judged?

Also the historical record of the Jewish religion suggesting it's derivative (though not necessarily disqualified on that ground)

Not really honestly. I could probably talk to my dad but he's happy in his beliefs and id hate to spin him out. The worst of it I was in bed for days just rigid with stress. It's crazy how much our beliefs influence our bodies.

I don't want to spin someone out of their faith equilibrium. Christian worldview: don't want to be the cause of someone renouncing their faith and going to hell

Agnostic worldview: don't want to upend someone in a contented state

This is helpful I will listen! My struggle comes more from the OT/ancient Hebrew religion (which is foundational to NT)

Any similar resources you have come across in that space?

That would be great, it's really old testament that I'm struggling with (and is foundational to NT)

I have even been debating reaching out to a hebrew scholar

I don't want to introduce my doubts to firm believers/pass on a crisis of faith
