  1. The thing is (and I don't want to sound angry at all saying this or pushy or anything) Jesus told the disciples that He was going to heaven to prepare a place for them. He also said that He needed to leave the world to send the Holy Spirit, and He sent the Spirit on Pentecost because there were millions of Jews in Jerusalem at the time. It was only 20/40 days later
  2. I'm just thinking of the Gentile woman rn Yk, the one whose daughter was possessed by a demon? At first Jesus didn't acknowledge her because 'it is not good for the children's bread to be thrown to the little dogs' and she replied that the dogs ate the crumbs that fell At this point, Jesus' ministry was to the Jews alone and we can tell by all historical evidence that we have that the Native Americans worshiped nature spirits as well as their Great Spirit, not a good Jewish practice. Also, the disciples were all teenagers and I don't think Jesus would have left them alone for long because... teenagers. The one fold and one shepherd he's referring to here are, I think, the post-ascension church combined of Jews and Gentiles
  3. Jesus was only in ministry for 3 years, and before that he was a carpenter. He didn’t minister before he was baptized by John. And the Bible only talks about his time in the Mediterranean area. Can you find the verse/section where it says that?
  4. Just posting so you don’t double post
  5. See I could? And I may be assistant GM but You're the main GM and I don't want to mess with your plans, especially with the orb being involved. Also I go to lunch in 7 mins and don't have time to wall post rn either
  6. That would be godmodding I really meant between Revi and Evee, whatever's going on with them Also HTKAD: be a dragon HTKADlich: faith trust and pixie dust HTKASD: trick him into commiting the self die
  7. Pretty much a monologue It would still be dialogue, but it's just when one person makes a longer post than usual.
  8. Nor am I. The "rule" my church uses for doctrine is if the Bible says it twice, we should follow it. For example, abstaining from sexual immorality is brought up several times in the New Testament, so it is a sin. But only one Gospel says Peter walked on water, so we shouldn't necessarily all be able to. Also, only one of Paul's letters says "women be silent in the churches," so it isn't a doctrinal command but a structural one. In the Corinthian church, women and men sat on different sides of the church and women would shout to their husbands when they didn't understand something. Also, the 66 books generally agreed upon as the canon were decided by a group at a conference. Other books like Enoch and the Macabes can be read, but they shouldn't be observed as scripture based on that conference. Someone said something about Jesus appearing to the Americas, but the Bible only says he appeared to his disciples (not just the 12 apostles, he had 120 disciples as of Acts 1-2). Since LDS-ism (whatever we want to call it, idk) is based largely on an appearance in the Americas, I can't accept it.
  9. Timeskip? or do you want to do a wall post?
  10. He was led to a room with interns and a few scientists. One was (what's her name? Harriet?)
  11. She closed her eyes and for the first time in a while, a tear ran down her face.
  12. The way I see it, if it's not in the Bible I can't necessarily accept it as truth. There's a common belief that Jesus married Mary Magdelene, but it's not in the Bible so while I'm not saying it didn't happen, I'm not saying it did. It probably didn't, but, in my youth pastor's words, I'll watch the DVD when I get to heaven lol
  13. She whimpered softly and put her head on the ground.
  14. She gently headbutted the girl.
  15. Please be okay...
  16. I'm not going to accept that as truth, but your explanation makes sense and I thank you for that.
  17. She felt Divine's heartbeat.
  18. "What does she think it'll do."
  19. That's awesome She watched the doorway.
  20. Eventually a guard took the woman away. The man sat on a bench alone and put his hand on his forehead.
  21. They each had a ring on their left hands.
  22. She listened but didn't move. My cats are Dobby (named because I really liked the Harry Potter character) and Opal (because she was white with pretty blue eyes; her fur has gotten darker since then). My dog is Rooney, after the family who owns the Pittsburgh Steelers, my dad's favorite pro football team
