Happy to help. Of course, purgatory in general is a whole different discussion, but I’m sorry to hear that you got pushed away by his stubbornness. It is good to keep learning though, so A+ for you :)

Yes to wicked bastards going to heaven, as long as it is true repentance. God knows the heart, and just saying the right words isn’t going to cut it.

Being taught the Bible is a requirement, but only so that you can understand enough to believe. You don’t need to be a scholar by any means.

Dying as a child is a more debated point. Some say there is a period of innocence before which God does not send you to hell (generally seen as children who don’t yet understand right from wrong). Others say that this is just wishful thinking. Regardless, it isn’t discussed explicitly in the Bible and there are verses that are ambiguous enough to be read either way. For my part, I think that there’s no way to be sure until we die and find out, and it doesn’t affect any of my other beliefs, so I don’t think it matters which one you choose to believe.

Legalism: If you are Good you go to heaven, if you are Bad you go to hell. Follow these rules, so you can be Good 👍

Not Legalism: If you are human you are Bad, and go to hell. No exceptions. Christ died and rose again to make a way to get to heaven. If you trust in him, and not in your own goodness, God will accept Christ’s sacrifice in your place.

If I’m following the logic from the other guy, I think that it would be “Microsoft ecosystem”, not “XBox ecosystem”, since they’re removing the specific platform, and adding the company. Which I think works.

Narrator: She did, in fact, take no for an answer.

Have you checked the authors? Maybe it’s just one, really exhausted, parent who’s super done with the whole thing :P

Oof… I forget how hard Frost can hit sometimes…

Ah. Account I read must have been a simplified version, probably for kids. Or I just forgot. Pretty sure I got it from D’Aulaire’s Book of Greek Myths

I thought he was autosexual/romantic, if anything. This is the “stare into the water admiring his own face until he dies” guy, right?

Fairly certain that it’s gonna be a CFO of like… A car company. Within the realm of sovcit stuff, I find this one to be rather coherent, but maybe I’ve just been reading these for too long. He’s basically saying: in order to pay the “John Doe” debt, grab the money from the super special secret money account of “JOHN DOE”, and do that every month until it’s paid off. Relatively normal stuff, except that he should probably be asking the credit department instead of the CFO, and also that the super secret money account never existed.

If you take three 3x5 note cards, and arrange them like in the picture, you can make a d20 die for D&D

While I do agree with what you’re saying, and it’s a way of reading it I hadn’t considered, I don’t think the distinction is clear from the meme. Then again, it’s just a meme, so my expectations can probably stand to be lowered a bit.

This might be heresy, but I feel like saying that “science isn’t truth, it’s the search for truth”, and “if you disagree it’s not a disagreement, you’re just wrong” is internally inconsistent.

Ain’t nobody told you to hurt me like that… Right in the feels man…

Archangel mentioned once or twice in canon, probably a couple more times in the apocrypha

It sounds to me like you are talking about what Steam is doing, with the geolocking and refunds (not fraud), while the other person is talking about what Sony is doing, with adding PSN requirements after the fact (maybe fraud?).

Things that lay the groundwork for future things are often surpassed by what they inspire (shrug)

Just watched it last week for the first time actually. Pretty good overall 👍

Depends on the bear for me. Black bear? I’ll take that over a man any day (am a man). Polar bear? Yeah, no. I don’t want to be within 1000 miles of a polar bear. Grizzley? Haven’t decided, probably leaning towards wanting the bear, unless it actively hates me for some reason
