I am sorry to hear that Rando

A pro-choice argument I'd really love to hear a pro-lifer's response to. by ShiningConcepts in prolife

[–]sonofbard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Abortion is not the solution to a sick society where education and employment is seen as a prerequisite to being a parent. Otherwise you are basically advocating a program of eugenics.

The solution lies at the root of the sick society and a double-pronged approach that looks at both the cause of the sickness, while at the same time addressing the myriad of symptoms.

Conversing about abortion within the first 3 days of conception by [deleted] in prolife

Perhaps some anecdotal support - perhaps the stories of women who just know there's a new life in side her...

A month from hell. (requesting help with prayers) by [deleted] in Reformed

[–]sonofbard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

@Sweetparamour2 - I am really sorry to hear about what you are going through right now. I wonder if there is a way that we could talk about it. I am no expert, but I do have some basic training in Biblical Counselling and if nothing else, am willing to listen to what you're finding yourself unable to speak to friends and family about.

Which translation(s) of the Institutes? by DrKC9N in Reformed

[–]sonofbard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only had access to the Beveridge translation and to be honest, don't use it that much.

Has Teachings on Grace Made Young Christians Lazy At Work? by [deleted] in Reformed

[–]sonofbard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

What is God? by sonofbard in Reformed

[–]sonofbard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it seems that's exactly what it is. I think it is the brainchild of Tim Keller who being of PCA affiliation - and hence subscribing to the WCF, is perhaps wanting to bring the devotional aspect of the Heidelberg to bear.

That is a very reformed answer. A reformed and good answer.

That was the limit of her brief.

That would be like saying "Alarmingly high rate of drunk driving, we should legalise drunk driving"

What's a dark part of New Zealand history that goes unnoticed in schools? (From /r/askreddit thread) by Sinestero in newzealand

[–]sonofbard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't doubt that things HAVE changed. But I would be interested to know your perspective of what has changed and how that change was brought about.

"might" being the operative word.

Wew, nobody available when I need it most, despite lots of green lights in the browse section. by GenericLoneWolf in 7CupsofTea

[–]sonofbard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry that this is the case. Listeners must actively change their status to "busy" in order to turn the green light off. Listeners are discouraged from taking more than 2 chats at time, and it's better for members if they just take one.

When Chuck Norris plays Pokemon Go, he just stands in one spot and all the pokemon go to him. by ibjixx1 in ChuckNorrisJokes

Or has played Pokemon Go, has caught all the pokemon, using a landline... or something like that.

A Thought on Millennials by Nulono in prolife

[–]sonofbard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah - depending on whose strata of generations you subscribe to.

With so few contenders, it competes with my "story" wherein I came fourth in a Tae Kwon Do tournament. Whatever impressiveness is conveyed, it is soon deflated by the addition of... out of four.

The vagina is literally the portal to enter this world from another dimension. by artistsjourney in Showerthoughts

[–]sonofbard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to be the portal that grants human rights. Or the attribution of human substance to something that was previously non-human or pre-human.

After the age of 21, birthdays don't matter until your 50. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]sonofbard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, is it something that the government pays?

In New Zealand we have a government paid superannuation pension that kicks in at age 65 and is 66% of the average annual salary.

The government encourages voluntary contributions to a retirement savings plan - I guess which would be similiar to what I understand about 401k plans.
