    Johnny’s the most grounded and refined representation of a what a Christian should be in my opinion. He has a testimony that’s undeniable and shows the routes humans are capable of taking with a lack of love in an abusive household. The forgiveness he shared about in his testimony reconciling with his father is tear worthy. He’s who a lot of young men need to aspire to act like! He’s at peace with himself through Christ and it shows. He’s a rare breed

      Is it in love and truth when you use litigation to politically manhandle minority groups who don’t have the numbers to protect themselves?
      Trust me, we all judge. Whether you are religious or not it is human nature. But when those judgements often turn into political attacks, stigma, and hate just for the simple fact mankind put words to ancient text… that is not richeous judgement but means to control others who do not share the same beliefs.

      He does show the true heart but that is where a lot of Christian’s get it wrong. We are actually supposed to judge and hold each other accountable. I know how he was meaning what he said but I do wish that he would have had a chance to dive in deeper or at least give the explanation of why we are to judge. Most people will get mad that I said that but we are to judge the outward appearance of what a Christian should be doing. We are not to judge someone’s heart which is God’s job. People will say that I’m a judgmental bible thumper when that is not the case. They do not understand what I am saying.

      That’s just being purposefully obtuse. Whenever they said, “this is my interpretation,” they were referring to things not explicitly stated in the scripture like God’s intentions (which cannot be understood by humans). As for God’s instructions or standards, no one said any of them were up for interpretation.
      It’s so frustrating when people are purposefully dishonest in a debate to try and have a “gotcha moment.”

    People often mistaken soulmate only as family members, friends, spouse, teachers/professors/mentors, partners/colleagues, people who you are with for lengthy amount of time. And I am sorry if I sound like I am forcing my opinion on you. But I think soulmate or soulmate-esque people can be someone that you only meet just for a short while that you were meant to come and help or come to help you when in the time of need. Or in those came come together to work just for a short time to help others who are in need
    When some of us coming here will have fear of death/afterlife/damnation/or nonexistence after death during our time here. For ourselves or loved ones. These eight had volunteered, let’s meet at this date and time and remind everyone that it’s going to be okay. In the end everything is going to be okay.
