    Games and such

    Thanks! I’m aware of FFXIV due to all the WoW streamers switching over, but I didn’t want to commit to something really big so soon after leaving WoW. How much is FF? Box price + sub? If the price is right I may join you. I’ve been eyeing an MMO in development called Palia, but it probably...

    Mallrats

    I think malls are great. I’ve got a good handful of them near me and each has its own atmosphere. At the mall I usually go to, I always use the escalators as much as possible. At the soap store they have soap samples at a sink so I always wash my hands with all the soaps. Then I always check out...

    Does god hate dogs

    If you kick it and it catches air, it’s a rat. Of course, if it kicks you and you go airborne, it’s a horse. Joking, of course.

    Does god hate dogs

    “To the Lord your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it.” ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭10:14‬ ‭NIV “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.” Psalm 24: 1-2 NIV...

    How Old Is The Universe/Earth? (According To The Bible)

    I haven’t studied this topic, so I can’t contribute past Abraham. I just saw this thread and turned to Genesis 5. So, I wouldn’t know if you are correct, although you could be. One thing that boggles my mind is that Methuselah, the oldest recorded living man, was alive for about 1/6 of history...

    How Old Is The Universe/Earth? (According To The Bible)

    I noticed you added Adam's 930 to Seth's 912. This way of measuring assumes that Seth was born as Adam died, when in fact their lives overlapped in years. A more accurate way of measuring is to add the ages when they had their sons. Adam - 130 when he had Seth Seth - 105 when he had Enosh Enosh...

    Earth Age

    I don't know how old Adam was at the time of the fall, but Genesis 5 gives an account of the family line from Adam to Noah. Adam had a son Seth at 130 years old, which starts the family tree.

    Earth Age

    Had another thought about this. When Jesus fed the 5000, he didn't need to plant wheat seeds, water them, provide them with sunlight, weed around them, fertilize them, chase the birds away, watch them grow over 120 days, harvest the grain, mix it with water, and bake the loaves in a clay oven...

    “I desire mercy, not sacrifice”

    Jesus told the Pharisees in Matthew 9:13, “Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” I’m wondering what He means by that. What does He want the Pharisees to learn? What does He want us to learn? The context is Matthew...

    Struggle with Masturbation

    God is eternal. He is the beginning and the end. He exists outside of time and knows all things past, present, and future. When Jesus died as a blameless sin offering for you and me 2000 years ago, he knew who you were and what you would do. He knew who you would be before you knew who he was...

    Hold Out

    Great stuff. Honestly one of the most exciting things I’m looking forward to. At the time when soldiers have fallen all around us, when the enemy seems most unstoppable, when we’re hungry and hurting and tired and when the world calls it foolish to continue hoping, THAT is when the King redeems...

    Does "I Love You" Feel the Same in Every Language?

    Personally for me, I think saying "I love you" out loud kind of ruins the moment. Let's sit on the porch together as night falls. Let's go exploring in the woods, you can lead. Let's go for a ride at night with the windows down and listen to music. Let's watch the sky for a while. Then, no one...

    Too young, but too old

    Hey Andrew, I relate very much to what you are saying. I don’t know where you’re from. I live in America. General consensus seems to be that if you’re too young to remember 9/11/01 they label you Gen Z. I fall into that category and I do not relate to Gen Z. I grew up playing sports in the...

    Great to meet you!

    Hey brother, I have a similar experience. I think of myself as very logical and yet I have experienced divine intervention from God in many past experiences and I prat for many more. Some of the things I believe now don’t make logical sense to me, and I still have a way to go, I’m sure. Welcome...

    an appeal for help - identity in Christ

    Thank you all for your words of encouragement and love. Some time ago I believe the Holy Spirit revealed to me that sin is a lie, both in general and in regard to my situation. That truth has helped me a great deal, I believe. It has made me hate sin for enslaving me and putting me in...

    an appeal for help - identity in Christ

    Right now I am in a very Romans 7 stage in my walk with Christ, and it has got me very confused. "We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do... For I have the desire to...

    Games and such

    I used to play WoW all the time, but yeah... WoW is not in a good place right now. So I've got feelers out for a new MMO and in the meantime I'm playing... Super Smash Bros Melee, Pokemon Leaf Green (Squirtle!), Rocket League with my friends, Ori and the Blind Forest.

    Best Book to Teach HS Students

    Ha Ha! I'd be interested to know why, because I had a similar reaction to reading them! Frankenstein was painful to read because I wanted to jump in there and slap the sense into Frankenstein the whole time. I didn't relate to any of the characters but I had opinions about what they were doing...

    What are you listening to?

    In Christ Alone… I love this song. I think the bagpipes and Gaelic lilt add to the listening/worshiping experience.
