*Whops Susanna for pretending to be a pacifist* 😎

*Whops @Mem with my trippy unicorn while she is busy flexing* :devilish:

This little guy will look trippy when I swing it, and the internal battery pack will increase wallop-ocity. I'm calling dibs :cool:.

Thanks! I recommend this practice for all believers and have had some great conversations as a result. Funny thing though.....when I pray for guidance in conversations, I end up saying stuff a bit more random or cheeky than I would normally. So apparently my problem is more holding back what I...

I struggle with that some in real life, not as much on the forums because I have more time to think about what I want to say; I often wait a few hours or even days if I'm considering posting something contentious. I try to hold back offline as well but don't always have the luxury. Stress tends...

This legit made me tear up! Thanks for posting 🥲 And BizBo, welcome to the site! You seem to be fitting in well. I have found that some people process life more slowly (myself included). This can leave us feeling left behind sometimes because our modern world tends to favor quick reactions and...

Hi Aaron56, thanks for your reply! I don't mind unpopular perspectives, I hold to a good number of them myself lol :LOL:. What you had to say was good food for thought, though I find myself falling somewhere in the middle. This was my first official trip (I never did one as a teenager), so...

You're welcome Mr. Gary, and I hope the IRL matters you must attend to aren't too terrible stressful or difficult. I know life has seasons and God will be with you regardless....but please know that I genuinely believe you have helped some people during your time here <3 So, full disclosure...

Hi Radius, I did watch a little more of the video and I see where he's coming from now. It's possible he is correct about the original Pentecost happening on the Feast of New Wine, I wasn't there so I wouldn't bet my salvation on it lol but he might be right. I did always find it a bit odd to...

Edit: Also wanted to add that it's unlikely that Pentecost actually happened on the feast of new wine, because that is not one of the 3 pilgrimmage feasts in Judaism. Shavuot is. And based on the Biblical account it sounds like there were a lot of visitors in Jerusalem that day. So I think the...

Hi Radius, I didn't make it very far into the video because the guy talking doesn't seem to know much about farming and my brain was starting to short-circuit listening to him. "Pentecost" is the Christian name for the event where The Holy Spirit fell, but it happened on a Jewish holiday known...

The jury is in. It's time to start raising hogs and shooting strange bears in the woods. :cool:

No worries! 😎 But I would be curious about your viewpoint on the same things I inquired of Gary.... if the Bible isn't clear on the subject, why does it matter so much? 🤔 Seems it could be a distraction from the gospel if we aren't careful 🥺.

Thank you for your response! I'm confused about something though.... you said it's irrelevant whether sun, moon, stars etc. are flat or spherical...... why? If the whole flat earth "doctrine" is based off the necessity of the Earth being flat, why does it only matter if the Earth is flat, and...

Thanks! But to be fair, my church has a pretty high percentage of mature believers. If we had a lot of baby Christians and seekers I'd expect a little more sensitivity from the pulpit. And I have found that God does know and care about our emotions, I just don't think a Sunday sermon is the best...

Indeed. Everyone I know who believes in a spherical earth that revolves around the sun (myself included) still refer to "sunrises" and "sunsets"........because calling them "Earth Spins" is just plain weird. o_O This next part is not addressed to anyone in particular but I have been wondering...

Hi Prodigal, I know you're not looking for anyone to date and want some in-person friends, but feel free to pop over to the "singles" forum anyway if you feel like it. People there tend to be pretty laid-back and not usually looking for an argument :cool:.

True, I'm sure a long-married pastor could come up with a decent sermon on singleness based off of what is in the Bible...but honestly I'm not holding my breath for it and I don't think I'd want my pastor to even try :oops:. I've been there for 3 years and the only real mention I've heard was a...

Well to be fair, he said it during a Mother's day sermon. And I am also well aware that he is not the most sensitive knife in the drawer :LOL:. I should probably just skip church on Mother's day but old friends often come to that service since they are in town to visit their moms and take them...

I am scared to ask what you mean by that lol 😆 😳 😂 I really was just being silly, but the juxtaposition of rough & tough prior military with an affinity for growing flowers is.......intriguing. 💐 😎 #there'snoaccountingforfarmgirls
