happy reformation day! ✝

LadyMysterio I'm not familiar with this. What is reformation day?
Oct 31, 2023

Quillfeather I always just know it as reformation Sunday but I guess it's today
Ladym it's basically the day Martin Luther posted the Ninety-Five Theses
Oct 31, 2023

momonster Reformation day is when Martin Luther nailed the 95 theses to the door of Wittenberg Castle Church, October 31, 1517. the 95 theses pointed out flaws in the Catholic church, and was a big part of starting the Reformation. most churches observe it the sunday before, but today is the actual day when it happened.
Oct 31, 2023

Snoink It's when Protestants celebrate that they're not Catholic and Catholics roll their eyes and mutter under their breaths that if they were Catholic, then we could all celebrate All Saints and All Souls Day together, along with Halloween, instead of having a divided Chiurch.

No, but seriously, Martin Luther posted his 95 issues(?) on October 31 over 500 years ago, which initiated the split of Christendom and prompted the Reformation.
Oct 31, 2023

LadyMysterio Oh
Oct 31, 2023

alliyah HAPPY REFORMATION DAY! <3

As mentioned, on October 31, 1517 Martin Luther nailed the 95 Theses to the church in Wittenberg, which was the catalyst starting the reformation of the church with renewed focus on Christ Alone, Grace Alone, Word Alone, & Faith Alone. Luther never set out to break up the church, so we don't really celebrate that -> but we do celebrate some of the good stuff that came out of the Reformation and the leaders and reformers of the church in every age that are led by the Holy Spirit.

Here's a Squills article I wrote about it in 2018 -> Squills 10/28/18 - 11/4/18

KaiaJersaga @Snoink, I'll be sure to wish you a happy all saints tomorrow! I'm Catholic too!

Snoink @KaiaJersaga>> Yesssss! In the meantime... HAPPY ALL HALLOW'S EVE! Big feast day tomorrow, woooooo!

One of my classes is so anti-Christian and every time I come to class it leaves such a bad taste in my mouth but ultimately I have to take this class so I am unsure what to do. Makes me really upset...

KaiaJersaga Ah, that sounds so rough! I know the feeling, tho. But persevere. God is proud of you!!

Oct 26, 2023

KaiaJersaga The story of Job and his afflictions. A true reminder that in all things we must trust God. I also reread the creation of mankind over and over again because I love it so much! What about you, luxeterna?

What is something that has been really difficult to cut out of your life since following Jesus?
Or, what has been really easy to cut out?

For me, I think music is something I am currently struggling but it was really easy to cut out cursing + my true crime obsession (that one was a personal conviction)

luxeterna Cursing was and still is a big one for me, definitely not as bad as it was before but every now and then I have slip ups. as well as lustful behavior

a super easy one for me though was taking God's name in vain. As soon as I found out just how serious and sacred his name is, I cut it out immediately. In the Old Testament, committing that type of blasphemy was actually punishable by stoning to death.
Oct 23, 2023

Lullaby I forgot to mention this,
Modesty is something I’ve been struggling with too. Both spiritually and physically, changing my entire wardrobe has been difficult considering the clothes they are popular + costs of clothing. I’ve been slowly changing my closet to be more modest and better represent my heart but it’s a process for sure.
Oct 23, 2023

KaiaJersaga Okay, it's my turn!

So, I definitely agree with the music one. Honestly, I HATE that my music will contain swear words and stuff, but I find it hard to quit listening to my favorite bands. Gradually, though, I am getting less interested in music with swears. So I am slowly making progress...

The thing I REALLY struggle with since becoming more serious about my beliefs is how I write. I struggle to keep my writing clean of swears and sexualized writing which was something I regretfully was really into before becoming more serious about my faith. That, and trying not to give off the wrong message because I do write a whole lot of dark stuff, and it can be hard for me to step back and say "no" I can't write that because it's not good for me to write and it's not good for a reader to read. Where to draw the line between what is okay and what is not is a real struggle for me.

@Lullaby Can I just give you a huge hug? Modesty is SOOO HARD!! And I'm so proud of you for giving up some of your clothes for the sake of your beliefs! That is so admirable!! I personally have been raised in a family with strict modesty rules so for me it's a difficult normal. But we must remember that every sacrifice, no matter how small is remembered and treasures by God and He knows how hard it is to dress modestly in today's world. And I by no means am perfect. I struggle also. If you ever want to talk more about this, I have tons more thoughts on this, I just didn't want to make this a page worth reply here, XD

If you could meet any person in the Bible (OUTSIDE of Jesus) who would it be? What would you ask?

TheMythMaster The apostle Paul, and I think I'd just ask him more about his life cuz it seems like there was a lot of interesting stuff that he left out of his letters
Oct 18, 2023

luxeterna ^^Agreed.
Also Peter, because he's notorious for being the jump on decisions and acting impusively type guy and I can relate to that heh. the way Jesus redeemed him of his betrayal and shame is inspiring to me
Oct 18, 2023

alliyah I'd love to talk to Mary and Martha about what it was like to be such good friends with Jesus and get a first-hand view of his miracles and teachings about what times were like in the early church and shortly after Jesus' resurrection. Would also like to get Sarah and Hagar's perspective on their side of Abraham's story. And agree with you Myth about Paul too! And Matthew would also be interesting!
Oct 18, 2023

momonster Ehud, that left-handed guy in Judges. idk he just seems super cool
Oct 18, 2023

KaiaJersaga Mary the mother of Jesus. I just want to know how to be a real woman.
Oct 18, 2023

Quillfeather I don't like Paul or what he says...
But I agree with wanting to meet Mary (both of them)
And also Esther she was pretty amazing
Also just anyone Jesus healed or heard his word I would love to hear their testimony
Oct 18, 2023

LadyMysterio PAUL! also Esther! I love reading Paul's writing, and Esther is a big inspiration to me
Also Deborah!!
Oh and the woman who touched Jesus rohe and was healed from her constant bleeding. Idk she's always intrigued me
I keep thinking of more and editing my comment
