How does that incite violence against anyone? Where did they tell anyone to do anything illegal or violent?

It endangers the lives of officers. Just like when Chuck Schumer made his comments about Supreme Court justices, putting their lives and the lives of their families in danger.

In Anglican and Episcopalian Churches, yes!

Women can celebrate communion in an Anglican church. yes.
I doubt that they are taught, or believe, that they are "representing the Holy Spirit."

I am suffering severely from a very, very lazy mindset this week and I'm getting concerned about it. It's been nearly a month since that day and two weeks since the funeral, and I need to get going with some important things and I literally don't know what to do next. I'm scared to ask anyone (real life) for help because I'm apprehensive of not being able to follow whatever advice they may give. I can't do this by myself anymore.

Hi LadyBug

I have a resource I'd like to share with you, for if/when you find yourself looking for some local, in-person grief support:

GriefShare

GriefShare groups meet once a week, and usually in a meeting room at a local church.
In my area, they often meet in a Catholic church.

GriefShare offers general Christian support, while not proselytizing at all.
The workbook they use is Christian-based, and is apparently approved by the Catholic Church.
(Protestant churches use the same workbook.)

A weekly session consists of watching a short video based on some aspect of the grieving process, and then discussing the video afterwards.

Participants are not required to participate in the group discussions if they don't want to.
Participants can just attend and listen to the video and discussion.
The environment is very 'no' pressure.

GriefShare groups run for 13 weeks, but a person can generally join a group at any time within the 13 weeks.
Participants can also leave the group at anytime (just stop going), or join another GriefShare group at another time.
(Again, the whole thing is very 'no' pressure. I've been in several groups, and was never pressured to share anything.)

GriefShare has been very helpful to me in the past. GriefShare isn't like a big counseling session, nor will one get financial advice there. But what I did find was the friendship of others who were also grieving. I met persons who understood what I was going through; persons who were there to support each other during the healing process. It was a friendly, understanding, no-pressure experience that I'm comfortable recommending.

Website:

Need Help Dealing with Grief? - GriefShare

GriefShare is a grief recovery support group where you can find help and healing for the hurt of losing a loved one.

This post has been reuploaded from a thread on a completely Christian forum by me. The original post was also by me, so if you happen to have seen this on another forum, this is a reupload.

For context, I'm 19 years old and male. A lot of my peers (including me) play video games, but where our similarities end is in the nature of what exactly we play. At one point in my younger teenage years (maybe 13-15?) I played a video game called Grand Theft Auto but stopped abruptly after. Never once have thoughts of homosexuality or sexual conduct in general really notably crossed my mind. I'm a teenager, of course I know about and understand sex, but the idea of actually partaking in it has never truly been something I've been too invested in, and I'm proud of that milestone against lust considering I've been abstaining since three years ago. And I would consider myself strictly heterosexual/straight. Until these recurring dreams started.

These dreams are usually almost entirely the same. One of the main protagonists from the game I mentioned earlier and I usually have some form of intercourse. I won't go into too many details for the sake of both my self respect and your mental wellbeing, but they're far from standard and don't seem very 'loving' at all, usually revolving around some form of disrespect being passed to me during the act. I doubt this could be a sign that I need to find a partner or work on my life - this feels more lustful than anything else. Don't exactly know why this particular character considering last time I touched the game chances are I couldn't even drive, but dreams are very strange sometimes so I'll excuse that particular bit. I looked up his name (I believe it's Trevor) and didn't find any direct ties to Satan or even the Bible as a whole.

This dream is certainly lustful, and I can't find any way to make it stop before I get tempted and potentially do something rash or before it successfully pushes its agenda onto me. If anyone could interpret what exactly (most likely) Satan or some other being is trying to tell me and what this spells for my future, because I'm beginning to grow accustomed to and even comforted by these dreams which is not good at all lol. I don't trust my judgement enough to go with my interpretation (something from my past/childhood is trying to turn me away from God).

TL;DR: Having a questionable/lustful dream that I believe Satan has some part in???

Sorry you are being tormented in your dreams. While it could be considered normal it seems veey spiritual to me as it obviously impacts you enough to post and continue to seek help. My suggestion is to learn more about your authority in the name of Jesus. That yes, you have the power through Christ to ward off evil dreams. Many prayers and deluverance confessions can be found online, including Catholic ones. Those can help but you should also look to shore up your defenses with scriptures and teaching about the authority Jesus gives every believer. It wilhelp improve your armor of God in both general and specific ways that will be oractical and important for you and also your help to others. God bless

You start out with Eph. 3:10 suggesting this is “God’s purpose”. Reading the context we find:

Eph. 3: 7 I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power. 8 Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ, 9 and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. 10 His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, 11 according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. 12 In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. 13 I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.

First off: The fallen angels are not the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realm.

Why would God need to go through all this to “help” hell bound angels?

There would be powerful good beings in heaven wondering why Gentiles were treated so differently from Jews prior to the cross and so replacing the Jewish nation with the Church we have the unity desired, the mystery is made known.

The “intent of the Church”, does not equal God’s overall purpose.

You might want to read my post 23.

We are not being “Tested” but are here to obtain and use a purely charitable undeserved gift, which must be humbly accepted of our own free will as charity.

We have the privilege and honor of being part of God’s work (allowing the Spirit to work through us) to bring others to Christ, so they can make an informed choice. We are in the presence with God when He is glorified and share in His glory that way.

I never said God helps hellbound angels. He does demonstrate His wisdom to them in what I assume to be a sort of in their face judgement. I dont say it is God's only purpose but the whole plan, the mystery in context was so grand, and i am sure jaw-dropping to the fallen angels. Just as the magnificent plan God had to bring Jesus as a man to restore mankind to our elevated status as children if God. You are correct it is an amazing gift.

Dr. Kim's IQ makes sense if we consider these two truths:
1) Dr. Kim has had perfect scores on several high-range IQ tests
2) Dr. Kim's IQ scores make most sense using his native country's standard deviation of SD24.
Therefore,
C) Dr. Kim's IQ score of 276 is legit.

There is nothing else to add. I’ve always been clear.

To me, transgenderism is all part of broken humanity just like any other disorder. They are broken people, like all of humanity, but the morality cannot be discussed per the rules.

I never even mentioned that.

RileyG said:
I don’t care what they identify as. Feelings aren’t reality. Their identity can also change at a drop of a hat, which is why I don’t find it credible.

I think you'll find that, for the vast majority of people, their identity doesn't change at the drop of a hat.

RileyG said:
I’m more concerned about the rights of women and girls. Period.

Rights that are not being violated. The rights of trans people, however, are.

But yeah, you do have the right to be concerned or not concerned about whatever you prefer.

-- A2SG, but the rights of trans people...ah, who cares about them? They're weird!

Any time there is power involved there is bound to be acrimony. Politics invites strong opinions and a sense of righteousness in the cause that all but requires divisiveness and viewing opponents as enemies. The more a politician can inspire emotional responses, the more likely they are to succeed in a democratic system.

If God had not said we would have had no sin ... but because you say I see (who told you) therefore your sin remains ...

But sin, having taken an occasion by the commandment, produced in me all covetousness; for apart from the Law, sin is dead. And I once was alive apart from Law; but the commandment having come, sin revived, and I died; and this commandment that was unto life proved to be death to me. For sin, having taken an occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it put me to death.

It’s just neo-Arianism combined with neo-Apollinarian chiliasm. The Eastern Orthodox believe all modern heresies are just regurgitations of ancient heresies, and I have come to agree with that view; we believe the last original heresy was iconoclasm.

Indeed. That’s very true.

For some, it is that they are doing stuff that God would not like and so they choose not to believe in Him.

You can not just choose to believe or not to believe. It is such a complex psychological process that Bible calls faith a gift.

It does not work this way: "I believe there is God, but I do not want to live as He likes, therefore I choose to not believe in Him". We may have some emotional motivation to want to believe or not, but this alone cannot make it.

Still taking care of my mother.
The nursing home called and went over some things and because my mother has more than $5,000 life insurance she is ineligible for Medicaid. She has death benefits of $13,500 and her funeral will cost almost $13,000.
I told them I would cash the policies (which would be considerably less) and put it on a pre pay at the funeral home and they said it didn't matter.
She has more than $5,000 life insurance, she can't get Medicaid so I would have to pay $300 a day to put her in the nursing home.
She can't get out of bed anymore and has a catheter in and I have to use a walker.
So I am just stuck here without a solution

Nimrod was supposed to have inherited the special skins that God gave to Adam & Eve after dispelling them from the Garden, apparently Noah had inherited them but Ham stole them and passed them on to his sons. What were these skins that made Nimrod strong and a mighty hunter ?

@Godcrazy

Were these skins made of silica aerogel.

To see what Silica Aerogel can do, watch this, it's just amazing.

I learned that from the Encyclopedia Britannica (1946). Nestorius did not suppress the use of “Mary, Mother of God,” the term was just beginning to be used and he rightly objected to it.

An obsolete version of an encyclopedia may or may not be trustworthy, but the phrase that he suppressed was not “Mary, Mother of God” but rather “Theotokos”, and it was in widespread use in Constantinople - particularly since one of his predecessors, St. John Chrysostom, used the word routinely, and included it in his recension of the ancient Antiochene Divine Liturgy (known as the Anaphora of the Twelve Apostles, but the version modified by St. Chrysostom, which features more intense language, is called the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom in his honor).
