One of the guy's voice is insane (in a good way)!

From my observation, I've seen people with a savior complex as feeling a sense of nobility for trying to save others even when they aren't ready or willing. Often times, when we look beyond the superficial, their actions aren't as selfless as they appear. It can be used as a manipulative tactic...

I think I agree with almost everything. What trips me up is that I think everyone, even the worst of us, can and does show love in some way (some more than others of course). I agree that when we have been born again, we naturally desire to be obedient to God and His commandments and that we can...

It's a strawman to frame the argument as "Jesus' death is why we don't need to change". The point that I tried to make (my apologies if I did a terrible job making it), is that works aren't an accurate metric in determining a person's salvation. Our works make some people think are deserving of...

We can submit to God but it doesn't guarantee we will not sin again. You asserted "so all of you are saying that we don't even need to submit to God", but I'm not sure who has said that. Where we agree is that when we have Christ living within us (accepting Him as our Savior), we naturally want...

I love that "so they would recognize their need for a Savior". Great point.

This is where I struggle to reconcile saying "if you don't do works" (walking-the-walk), then you aren't saved (because you don't believe in Jesus). But then immediately after claim it's "not works based". It appears that if you believe that works (fruit/walking-the-walk) must be present in...

I've heard people ask if Jesus was giving an impossible commandment when He commanded the woman to "go, and sin no more". The common response is "No, it's to be taken as Him telling us to strive to do our best and repent when we do sin". I understand that it makes the most sense to interpret...

I've never read the book but I'm familiar with the 5 love languages. I'm not sure we need to change anyone so that they love us in our preferred love language(s). If we do, I doubt it will be a permanent change. Instead, because WE love someone, we ought to want to love them in their preferred...

I'm assuming we are talking about Andrew Wakefield? I didn't know he lost his medical license for merely asking questions. Unless there is a conspiracy to invalid him (and maybe there is, I haven't looked into it), he was found to manipulate his data which linked autism to the MMR vaccine and...

To be clear, I think two things CAN be true. Autism could be more prevalent in 2025 than 1980. It could also be true that the 1 in 100,000 is not a good figure to base the prevalence of autism in 1980 and that it has increased 2,000x. I was merely pointing to the reasons why there was only a 1...

Is the 1 in 100,000 figure even accurate though? They had just put it in the DSM-III but it wasn't widely tested nor was the diagnostic criteria as refined as it is in 2024. Could it have been people had/have similar rates today as they did in 1980 but because of advancements/more refined...

Your story isn't an example of this, but it reminded me of a scene from the movie A Beautiful Mind, where John Nash comes up with his Nobel Peace Prize idea on the Equilibrium Game Theory.

I just wanted to add, it's super easy to love on pets because they are so darn cute, they love unconditionally, they forgive if you step on their tail, they somehow sense when you're emotionally down, but at the top of the list, they don't ever challenge what we say, argue, nag, etc... There is...

I had to make a tough decision to put my cat down of 16.5 years a little over a month ago. I was just a kid when I got him. I spent my entire adult life with him and there hasn't been a waking hour I don't think about him and miss him. He was there for me in previous relationships, deaths in my...

In my neck of the woods, I think a very small minority would consider carrot cake a spicy food. Even White people joke about Cracker Barrel and Luby's being too spicy for other White people. :ROFL:

Okay, you're an overthinker too. High-five!

To clarify, I think because of where I grew up, a spice isn't really a spice unless it burns/stings. That isn't the most accepted definition though :oops:. I've referred to anything that wasn't spicy as a "seasoning". I guess it's not entirely wrong, is it?

I know cinnamon is technically a spice, but I have never really seen it as such in my head. But since we are talking about spice/spicy and cinnamon fits in that category, I would recommend going to a real authentic Mexican restaurant (not Taco Bell....) and ordering horchata. Confirm it's...

Just a few favorites.
