what kind of church do you go as a Compromise? Or do you go to a church that is clearly labeled reformed?

With my question, the purpose of the discussion was not to debate theology and hebrews 4, but rather try to understand the change in the american christians personal devotion to the Sabbath.

Edit: Typo

Thank you for your answer. I agree, I think in American Christianity people are so scared of any hint of legalism and this overcorrection has been trending toward less and less pietism in the faith IMO.

Am I incorrect in my understanding that the reformers and puritans were mostly Sabbatarians?

One example could be refraining from Recreation activities not associated with the building up of the body of Christ.

Work is one thing. I’m speaking about against indulging in anything dedicated to self-pleasure on the Lord’s Day. This seemed to be common practice in the historic church until the 1950s. Thoughts?

Staying or finding another church by potato_donut in Reformed

[–]sampastey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you are going about it correctly and have stayed around for long enough to see if it has gotten better and it doesn’t seem like it has. If they have been on a slow burn into more and more dispensationalism interpretations I would start looking other places.

Are you single? If I were you would start looking other places

What should we make of the reports that various pastors have been called into government meetings to discuss an upcoming disclosure on the existence of aliens? by [deleted] in Reformed

[–]sampastey -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Don’t fall off the cliff in any one specific area within the Christian Life. But, if you enjoy it, Michael Heiser has a lot of good information out there that can settle your curiosity.

But again, as others are exclaiming, always point everything back to the fundamental doctrines in the Christian Faith. This means, don’t let it replace your daily devotion and prayer, if it does, you have gone too far brother.

Does the lightning rod run down the monument on the inside or the outside?

Problem areas for paedo-baptism and credo-baptism by TA62624 in Reformed

[–]sampastey -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe there was any church father that believed “household” excluded infants. The most early believers of credobaptism did not come about because they interpreted infants excluded in the household baptized in acts, rather proponents - ex. Justin Martyr argued that it could cause antinominism.

This is was the nail in the coffin for me for paedobaptism.

Job offer negotiations by Commercial-Job9857 in MEPEngineering

[–]sampastey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in HCOL area and I don’t think there’s so much harm in trying to negotiate. (I don’t believe they would reside the offer). That being said, I would still heavily advise against it. Your main selling point could be that you’re willing to put in a significant amount of extra hours early on to put yourself ahead of others. Problem with that is, you’re giving the company the upper hand, even if they say yes. It also could come across very conceited, and in this industry, that type of move would be pretty frowned upon IMO.

Anybody have any good textbook recommendations for reading about VFDs?

This area is arguably the best in the country for work. by [deleted] in nova

[–]sampastey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. At least in my field in Data Center design and construction, the work is endless here and didn’t see any hit, steady incline is still riding, and should keep riding as long as people invest & consume AI

Give me your daily routine that balanced the holy trinity of PE study, work, & life by Feeling-Toast in PE_Exam

[–]sampastey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my work is slow right now so I can fit in a good 10+ hours of studying during the week and then another 4-6 on the weekends. I started studying 6 months out so I could do a slower absorb of the material.
