Hey frens, could use some prayers.
Making a career related decision and needing prayers for wisdom and (if wise to go for it) courage and success.
Chapter 6: Of the Fall of Man, of Sin, and the Punishment thereof, Section 1: Our first parents, being seduced by the subtilty and temptations of Satan, sinned, in eating the forbidden fruit. This their sin, God was pleased, according to his wise and holy counsel, to permit, having purposed to order it to his own glory. —Westminster Confession of Faith

Also, God never accepted beating slaves. The law even states that if one beats his slave that causes harm the slave must be let go.
““If a man strikes the eye of his male or female slave, and destroys it, he shall let him go free on account of his eye. And if he knocks out a tooth of his male or female slave, he shall let him go free on account of his tooth.”
Exodus 21:26-27 NASB1995
You are operating on the assumption that slavery means chattel slavery as it pertains to the civil war. The slavery mentioned in scripture refers to indentured servitude. One would make himself a slave to pay off debt. God allows all kinds of evil but that doesn’t mean He condones it. God is not condoning the sin of Lot’s daughters. God has a purpose in allowing evil to take place
I started reading the Bible again. By Genesis chapter 13, I feel sick to my stomach.
How does one reconcile Jesus’s teachings with a vengeful God who requires blood sacrifices, accepts slavery (including beating slaves), and allows daughters to rape their fathers?
I ask sincerely: How is any of this okay?
Jesus is the same God of Genesis 13 who requires a blood sacrifice

“You shall not marry a woman in addition to her sister as a rival while she is alive, to uncover her nakedness.”

“He shall not multiply wives for himself, or else his heart will turn away; nor shall he greatly increase silver and gold for himself.”
Deuteronomy 17:17 NASB1995

There is not a single text in all of scripture that demonstrates man has salvific faith apart from receiving Gods Sovereign Grace.
Repentance is the result of salvation. Not the cause of it. The flesh profits nothing. It’s The Spirit who gives life

The Church Fathers unanimously taught that Super Mario Bros. 3 is the best video game ever.
You won't find a single quote from a Church Father explicitly saying that any video game is better than Super Mario Bros 3.

The Christless Nationalists are proving, with their own words, just how Christ-less they truly are today.

R.I.P. to Mr. John Anderson. To me the most underrated country singer of all time, the pride of Apopka Florida
