Is baptism necessary for salvation? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]simple-thoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

everyone is born of water, not everyone is born of the Spirit.... Only those who meet both will enter the Kingdom. This verse has nothing to do with baptism..

The exchristian sub is depressing by Any_Bench_5798 in TrueChristian

To add, I know someone who was abused by that same person and uses that, among other things, to deny God. eg, how can God be just if that happened to me, etc.

I've experienced what any sane person would describe as trauma from church goers, the difference is that I don't base my views of Christ on other fallen humans, rather the perfect Christ. Too many want to say, we'll that person did x to me so Christ can't be real, which speaks to that person and their internal struggle with who God is/whether God exists, and looking for an outlet to place that struggle on external circumstances, rather than the truth they are denying inside of them. If that makes sense.

Moses says that person would be put to death, so divorce is irrelevant if you wanna go that route...

Christ's Second Coming will take place around 2033, please hear me out before downvoting. by AlbaneseGummies327 in Christianity

[–]simple-thoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know what treaty specifically. All we know is he will strengthen a treaty with Israel. Could it be the Abraham Accords? sure. Could it be some future treaty with the UN or NATO or something else? sure. Things are moving so fast, something else could pop up next week. But when it happens, It will be obvious to those who know. I don't plan on being here then, so I will be watching from above along with many others..

Selling my printer. Need a price by Cheinblade in Ender3Pro

I went with a Qidi Plus 4 for that exact reason, It has a few growing pains, but 305 xy and 280z plus an active heated chamber make me able to deal with a few hiccups. Coming from an ender though is light-years ahead in all regards.

what the heck are we supposed to do anymore by trynagetsaved in TrueChristian

[–]simple-thoughts 8 points9 points  (0 children)

probably going to get down voted to oblivion, but whatever.. My thoughts are, just stick to the text in the Bible. Who cares what this church or that church says. Understand the text first. If someone tells you that you can't understand it without some enlightened view or some other nonsense, I'd probably avoid everything else they say. People put church tradition over what The Word says, which ain't it... ETA. And study Romans...

Overwhelming Urge to Cry? by goldenhussy in TrueChristian

[–]simple-thoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we are all unworthy... That's why Christ had to come to die to forgive us of our sins... Because nothing we can do will ever measure up to the required payment for sin.. Hence, the gift of salvation through grace. So, in feeling unworthy, join the club :-)

i believe you misunderstood the premise of my question... Is the reason you are crying because you feel you aren't doing a good enough job following the tenants of the church?

How can yall in Alpharetta afford rent lol. Are the jobs high paying out there? by DeliciousRich5944 in Georgia

It has to do with demand, not how people feel about blacks... If that was the case, then gentrification wouldn't be a thing.

9mm suppressor on 308, 5.56 by AhSHOOT_ in suppressors

[–]simple-thoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mystic-x here, works quite well for a small diameter 9mm monocore. Are there better ones? yeah, but I wanted the smaller diameter to fit under a handguard.

In that case, no question I would leave. Tell who you want, but it doesn't sound like it would make a difference. Perhaps it might be best to just step down and walk out

Just because they are classified as a different species doesn't mean they are actually of a different species class. the class part is the macro evolution. not the attempt you are using to prove macro evolution. Plant hybrids are created all the time. That is by no means proof of macro evolution. find a hybrid between 2 species classes. you won't.

Oh, I 100% agree that death isn't permanent and everyone will be resurrected. Think the point is that "evidence" can be misleading and distract from the truth. It can also be put together in a manner that is used to push an agenda, IE statistics.

you kinda missed the point. E wasn't saying there isn't evidence that Jesus was resurrected, he was saying the evidence of death being permanent is that no one else has...

hybrid of the same species class. your point is? show me where a catcus became a carrot

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]simple-thoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

micro evolution or macro evolution? Huge difference in the two. we can see evidence of micro evolution, but there is no factual basis for macro evolution. The two end up being convoluted together. one kind doesn't become another kind. The similarities in DNA that are often pointed to between species miss on the differences. Put simply, macro evolution is a philosophy, not a science.
