Since digital ID is on the horizon for many countries, are there any contingency plans for this board?

For the first time in 9 years, I've attended a church service. I found a very good Protestant Church while I was on vacation with a tour group in Japan. Considering the tour group took us to alot of Shinto and Buddhist shrines, I felt the need for God to clean my spirit and to get away from the tour group that had a really fat Muslim girl causing all sorts of problems for me and the group such as being self-centered and being rude in general. The church is called the Rakuyo Church, the United Church of Christ in Japan. Located in Kyoto. Everyone there was really friendly despite the language barrier, but at least everyone knew a little bit of English. The worship service covered Romans 13. Just attending the worship service helped a lot and the church even gave me a copy of the New Testament NKJV in English and Japanese. I recommend this church if any of you visit Kyoto.

>>1149 Blog post: Please send prayers for my favourite Hololive member, Shirogane Noel. It's an open secret that she is also the streamer Canan8181. Unfortunately she also does ASMR masturbation streams (while wearing skimpy outfits) for money on her website. I'm also worried that she will further degrade herself and do full nudes, actual sex streams, prostitution, and even enter the Japanese Adult Video (JAV) industry, especially since she is apparently losing money from the porn restrictions imposed by payment processors like Visa and Mastercard. I'm honestly afraid that she is going to put herself in a position where she will get hurt and even hurt herself, especially if she feels pressured to make money, which will lead to her self destruction. I pray that she stops doing all pornographic activities, especially before she ends up getting hurt. I also pray for her mental health, since there is very strong evidence that she isn't doing porn content for just money. She said on her talking streams (as both Noel and Canan) that she had a very rough and traumatic upbringing growing up very poor, had a deadbeat father who was an alcoholic and abusive on top of his gambling addiction and infidelity, which lead to him abandoning her and the family. Became homeless at one point, had a deadly form of childhood asthma, and dealt with intense bullying growing up for being different (and having big breasts at a very young age), and apparently even was blackmailed at one point in high school (although she was safe, but the school wanted to share the blame even though she was blameless). All of this trauma growing up would lead to mental health problems like PTSD and I honestly believe she is doing this porn stuff, out of a desperate attempt to feel some sort of false love, affection and care. I pray that she gets help and realizes that what she's doing won't give her the love, affection, and care that she craves for and it will just make her mental health worse. This is why I pray for her and ask for others to send their prayers. I pray she gets the help she needs and finds happiness before she ends up destroying herself. I also pray that she accepts Jesus as her Lord and Saviour, because I know in my heart that when she truly accepts Jesus, she will stop making pornographic content.

I'm on a trip of a life time, yet nothing seems to be going right at the moment. The trip isn't going as planned. A lot of mistakes, and my health is acting up. This isn't how I envisioned my trip would be and it's causing a ton of stress mentally, spiritually, and physically. The trip itself is expensive too, so that just adds to the stress. Please pray that the trip gets much better. Thank you.

I gave up my Diet Pepsi habit.

>>1131 If I could ask for one thing, I would like them to stop genetic ‘seeding’ of people, or any modifications to the human genome. It’s really not nice. It’s really not legal. Anything inserted into my body without consent is a Rape.

>>1094 Big post and you didn't even mention anything about the spiritual warfare waged on children, not to mention in some cases physical warfare because of the sterilization aspect. It's criminal. I think the rainbow flag is a double-layered psyop, one layer to propagandize perversion and make it into a civil rights issue, and the other layer to plant seeds for the upcoming world Antichrist religion (even if it's only through symbolism), where the Noahide laws play a key role. Maybe that flag will play a greater role in the future.

>>1106 God gave a commandment not to murder, and then took His people to war immediately after (against people explicitly called out to be practicing, among other things, homosexuality). In that regard, it seems pretty clear that the laws only apply to God’s people. The covenant being with the Israelites being superseded by the New Covenant doesn’t necessarily overwrite the things that can be gleaned about God’s will in the Old Testament. Jesus makes it so that anyone can enter into the New Covenant, but “tolerance” has clearly yielded bad fruit. I’d wondered what justification there could have been for the Crusades, but I think this might be it. I think other sins, such as pride, probably took over in the failure of the crusades, but before I read more of the Old Testament, I didn’t understand how a war could have been sanctioned by the church in the first place. I’m not trying to dredge up topics to debate on, frankly. I want to try and get ideas for how to promote a pushback against the “Pride month” nonsense that is rapidly approaching. If we aren’t prepared for this year, then at least the conversation has been started for next year. I’m tired of seeing this affront year after year.

>>1107 >God gave a commandment not to murder, and then took His people to war immediately after (against people explicitly called out to be practicing, among other things, homosexuality). In that regard, it seems pretty clear that the laws only apply to God’s people. Oh, so you're saying that because LGBTs aren't Christians everyone should turn a blind eye on the sixth commandment? >If we aren’t prepared for this year, then at least the conversation has been started for next year. Are you a fed?

Might as well post my Christ-chan here rather than let it sit inside my hard-drive.

>>1096 >>1095 your Luke verse is about renunciantion; he's giving an example of letting go of attachments to FLEETING ("worldly") things. when you let go of these attachments to unstable, transient things, you find the supremely stable Ground (or Rock, as in Matthew 7) upon which to build. if you fail to understand it in this way, the other words of Jesus won't make sense; they will seem contradictory when they are instead complementary. Matthew 5:38-40 (Luke 6:29–31) NIV 38“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ 39But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. Matthew 5:43-45 (Luke 6:27, 28, 32–36 ) NIV 43“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil AND the good, and sends rain on the righteous AND the unrighteous. do not misunderstand; Jesus doesn't mean to harbor hate in your heart for others. he means to cease to cling to extraneous, conditioned things. he is using "hating" family as his example because we mostly consider family and our closest friends to be the most stable thing in life. Jesus is saying that is still not the True GROUND; you have to find that which is truly unassailable, incorruptible, indestructible—that is to be your Ground, your Foundation, your Rock. we find this Ground by SUBTRACTING everything which is "in the way." let me know if you would like any further clarification.

>>93 wtf is this supposed to mean? Luther didn't "remove" the Deuterocanon. I have German Lutheran Bibles (one from the 1800s) with the entire Deuterocanon still in it. Begone with your papistic lies.

>>395 Levites are Israelites are they not? They were just the "clean and pure" priest class that gets set apart for those reasons.

I bought my first ever holy bible, along with two other Christian books. A few years ago I read Mere Christianity by CS Lewis but I've never read the bible. I decided it's time to let Christ more fully and devoutly into my life, so I bought the holy bible and two books written by saint Paisios. Do you have any opinions on him, or any advice to give me for my first ever read of the holy bible?

This is my first Easter since returning to the faith. It was quite the joyous day. I bought my mom some tulips and spent some good time with her. Feeling good.

>>140 Schizophrenic nonsense. It's the largest Christian denomination on Earth by a country mile and was literally founded by Christ. You and your kind, in your arrogance, reject everything Christ taught and ignore much of what he said. Ironic given your belief in "Sola Scriptura" theology (itself extra-scriptural).

>>880 All of scripture existed before the Vatican decided to split from the rest of the church in 1054 AD.
