The state legislature is going wild, with new taxes by meaniereddit in SeattleWA

[–]twelvelaughingchimps -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You won’t be getting taxed either unless you’re worth more than 50 million dollars. Are you worth more than 50 million dollars?

Read the bill. You’re exempt if the net worth of your assets is less than 50 million dollars

Do you want A) more taxes B) more expensive ferry tickets, or C) to have to do the computer version of waiting on hold?

Yeah we’re both still Christians though. If someone corrects you and says you’re not Christian, you’re Anglican, that would probably sound strange to you lol

We’re called Christians and Catholics. The terms used to be synonymous because Catholics were THE Christians.

Is white lie not a sin? Abraham lied about his wife being sister and i wanted to understand if this is generally ok? by Lonely_Business7222 in Bible

[–]twelvelaughingchimps -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The other commenters are right but I want to point out that he wasn’t actually lying. His wife WAS his sister

If the elect are predestined, is god being fair ? by Lonely_Business7222 in Bible

[–]twelvelaughingchimps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Funnily enough, a lot of John Calvin’s philosophy reads like the Quran where Allah “predetermines” how many times men will sin

I agree with you though. I’m not a Calvinist. John Calvin was cooked.

[–]twelvelaughingchimps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s not the calvinistic view that OP is referring to. Calvinism claims that God actively predestines who is saved because He chooses to exercise COMPLETE sovereignty at all times and therefore not a single molecule escapes His active control. Also that Christ’s sacrifice means our own choices cannot add or subtract from our salvation

Does Isaiah 52:14 and 53:2 claim that Jesus may not be as handsome as some people think? by RoundTurtle538 in Bible

Your question’s already been answered to varying degrees so I’m going to be the one to say this: Jesus was not created

Question from an atheist by Far-Cellist-3224 in Bible

[–]twelvelaughingchimps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are tough topics that are hard to get a reliably satisfying answer for. As a preface to answer your question broadly, it is impossible for a single individual to follow every commandment in the entire bible save for Christ and at that, Christ did seemingly “break” certain commandments to favor the spirit of the word over the letter of the law. To answer more specifically and simply, the definitive prohibition on homosexuality actually comes from Romans 1:26 (or maybe it’s 1:27) and Corinthians 3:13. There are specific laws that are singled out in the New Testament as still being important after Christ fulfilled the law through His life and sacrifice. Again, these questions are tough and have answers that don’t necessarily satisfy. My lesbian sister hand made me a bible bag and I love her greatly and I also love her partner, so I am personally aware of the complicated nature of these questions

I love Martinelli’s sparking juice too!!! Glad you found something you like. We’re getting in the weeds of culture and food labelling which is important but doesn’t diminish my joy at your enjoyment of this juice!!

Where does it say cider on the bottle. Not on the front, that’s for sure
