    I've decided enough is enough.

    Just a small update. So I went to my GP yesterday and told him I'm getting bariatric surgery. He was ecstatic and very happy. He filled out paperwork that I'm supposed to be getting done before my surgery and I actually lost an extra 13 pounds since the last time I was weighed. My GP was very...

    Total Depravity

    You're going a tad off topic but I partially agree with you and then I disagree with you. First where I disagree. It's pretty clear from Paul's words in Romans and Ephesians that he's talking about how the spirit is spiritually dead and unable to accept the gospel call and God makes that person...

    Total Depravity

    Funny you should mention God hardening Pharoah. God did harden Pharaoh's heart but as you can see God's hardening of Pharaoh's heart wasn't based on anything Pharoah had done and wasnt done because Pharoah wasn't already totally depraved in nature but rather so that he would not let the...

    Total Depravity

    In Ephesians 2:1-5 Paul describes the state of a believer pre regeneration (Dead in trespasses and sins) and after regeneration (Made alive by God). This is one of the strongest arguments for Total Depravity in the Bible so I wanted to discuss whether or not Total Depravity was true or not based...

    Yes, I answered your statement twice and now three times. I said you're talking about an act that was committed by fallen man rather than Satan. God was talking about an act committed by fallen man. Like I said fallen man are not under God's complete sovereign control like the regenerated humans...

    You're mentioning acts that fallen humans have done and not Satan and like i said satan is completely bound to God fallen humans are mostly not because we were not created solely to serve God like the angels were. Satan tempts, lies and deceives because that's his nature and one thing hamster...

    Can marriage ever be a sin if both are Christian

    Ive never noticed that before but, It's sort of implied. You're right that Jesus only said that a man could remarry because of sexual immorality (matthew 19:9) but why would only a man be allowed to remarry because of sexual immorality? Why not a woman as well?

    So Jesus never told Peter that Satan asked for permission to sift Peter like wheat? Just because God never commanded or mentioned one particular event and something was thr actions of humans doesn't mean that Satan doesn't need God's permission to literally do anything which scripture does...

    Actually Satan cannot do anything without God's permission. Even when Satan wants to tempt or attack God's sheep Satan needs God's permission. Jesus kinda proved this fact when he brought up to Peter that Satan wanted to sift Peter like wheat. Satan asked for permission to destroy Peter and God...

    I desperately need help (Hebrews 6)

    Hebrews 6 is just a reminder that it is impossible for a sheep of God to be renewed again to repentance. Mainly, if it were possible for a sheep of God to permanently fall away than it would be impossible to renew them again to repentance because Jesus would have to be crucified again to save...

    Right and the whole bariatric team including my surgeon is working at trying to figure out ways to make my surgery a success despite the weight gain from my antipsychotics. The surgeon mentioned that he has had schizophrenic patients before (he's been doing bariatrics for over 30 years) and he...

    I've decided enough is enough.

    Thank you! Only 248 pounds to go. Lol! Oh! I did want to mention but forgot, that I asked if I lost like 60 pounds total on the program or more before my surgery of I could change my mind on the surgery and continue in the program and the head nurse said "absolutely" so I'm giving losing weight...

    I've decided enough is enough.

    Yup! I had actually lost 2 pounds from last month! I technically did it when i wasn't in the program so any weight loss is/was welcome!

    I've decided enough is enough.

    So I had another consultation. I decided on the gastric sleeve surgery and I'm going to be getting blood work in July. I figured the Gastric sleeve surgery would be the safest surgery for me to go through and it's less restrictive than the gastric bypass which basically would make me miserable...
