@grok@AntonLoubser@Authentic1ty@BriannaWu So, closing the loop on Anton‘s original comment about taking control… Anton, keep your shit on your side of the aisle buddy.
@grok@AntonLoubser@Authentic1ty@BriannaWu And…
God is ultimately responsible for divine judgment.
Christians are responsible for their own conduct.
Faith should be demonstrated through actions, not coercion.
I was talking more about…
Romans 12:17–19 — Live peaceably and leave judgment to God
“Repay no one evil for evil, live peaceably with all…”
“…never avenge yourselves, leave it to the wrath of God.”
This was the passage you used to explain that believers should practice their faith peacefully rather than attempt to enforce God's judgment themselves.
2. 1 Thessalonians 4:11–12 — Mind your own affairs
“Aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands ... so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.”
Unfortunately, a lot of this aesthetic (high contrast, black and gold) has been co-opted by the culture of scarcity crowd and can come off fake or untrustworthy. It’s unfortunate.
If you’re going for a male Luxe brand, then I think you nailed it. In fact, I’d stick with the one on the left. If it’s hurting sales, consider folding the black and gold into a more natural earthy brand feel. Spa vs Ferrari watch.
Not at all. I very much agree with your statement.
I have far left, far right, in the middle, moderate, wealthy, poor, multicultural, LGBTQ in my world and lived life - we all have different experiences, and I find it really troubling when groups of people find it unnecessary to seek to understand others but yet demand others do that for them.
That is the special part about the United States. We’re all allowed to believe what we believe, and are protected from other people infringing on our rights to do the same.
The real wolves are people who are lost and have no values - I know plenty of God-fearing people who fit that bill as well. Believing in God does that mean you treat the people of this earth well.
@ShayeraHall6285@BriannaWu You’re right, it’s not “normal” in the sense that this is most peoples experience - you are stating the obvious. There’s nothing wrong with that so long as you don’t confuse your experience in life with everyone else’s.
I think what they are suggesting is that it doesn’t have to be on either end of what you’re talking about.
There are groups of people that simply don’t think there is anything else they need to make room for, and they have that right. You can desire for that not be true, but pushing people around and forcing them to confront things they are indifferent about can predictably lead them to caring about the opposite of what you want them to.
What I take from this post is make peace, let people get to know you, choose love.
NIH researchers have discovered a natural defense mechanism that may help the body prevent plaque from building up inside arteries, opening new possibilities for treating atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, a leading cause of death in the U.S. https://t.co/6EInu91oLo
@DrNice2026@twc_health Dr Drew has swerved entirely off the road - challenging science is part of the process, but ignoring basic facts is pure silly grifter nonsense. Wonder if he'll reflect on the people he might be harming?
