Okay! Will do then.

Whether you’re claiming nonresistance or passiveness (went back and re-read your definition 🙂 ), I don’t think Jesus is either. He didn’t fight those who were bringing him to the cross, but that was because of his purpose of being there. He was there to die for our sins, and be our substitutionary…[Read more]

Yes… I do play with text color a little… but not too much.

And I’ve played with covers a little before, but only one has come out really well. In general I just take the process of making drawings look really good, and apply it in such a way as to work on the front of a book.

My name is scribbled over to preserve anonymity. 🙂

@catwing

I use a mix of the base Windows 10 editor and Canva. And I rarely turn contrast up all the way, and have almost never used something as a cover without doing it at least a little bit. If done right, it makes the cover feel less like a drawing and more like a scene.

@catwing

I decided to go back and try a colder tint, and it does feel more organized… though that’s also due to very little contrast, making it less clear, and taking away the colon.

@catwing

What photo editor do you use?

@catwing
I almost always like turning the contrast up…

But I tried looking at it with cool, and in the short time I had, preferred the warm… though it’s contrasted with a very cold, and the warm isn’t super warm. So I think it still has a cool tint.

@wordsmith

And just to be clear, one does not have to be a Christian to agree to disagree. But at the point a non-christian says that there’s a void created that makes it harder to relate and hold fellowship. As Christians we can hold fellowship and still disagree on things.

@itisastarrynight, Hey there! Welcome. I have looked at all of those verses, and understand why you interpret them the way you do… Some of that we covered higher up, and some of it we didn’t, but if you would like, I can pull them back up. But it seems less like your brought it up to debate, and more just to reveal scripture, which is great! And…[Read more]

@graceabounds2129

Well then… keep on the fight.

((Okay! Have a great class. And thank’s for letting me know))

@h-jones

Cool! That system of martial arts looks really cool. I’ve trained in Okinawan Karate, which I think would be similar to what you learned.

@graceabounds2129

I’m not prescribing something that will change your life. What I’m asking is if there are ways for you to show mercy to people. People who are being wronged like you. You’ve already said that you see the problem. You want to do something about it. And even if it doesn’t work to knock down those on top, maybe we can find ways to…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist

I’m pointing out that Jesus was in no way pacifist right. He was acting with tremendous force (whether physically touching them or not). He drove them out. I’d be willing to bet that they were very afraid of him. He was reacting to wrong with something non-passive. Did he let them use the temple for something unholy? No.

In…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist

I’m not saying he was bringing judgement, but that he was showing them they didn’t belong, and either way, whether he struck them or not, he drove them out. They were probably very afraid of whatever was coming. And even if he did strike them, wouldn’t that be a mercy? When we discipline our children (we as in our parents to…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist @parker

XD wouldn’t be the first time.

@wordsmith

We cannot isolate Jesus from being God, which assumes all of his attributes.

@the-fledgling-artist

Hey! No worries! You haven’t sounded pushy at all… besides… I think many of us like a good challenge 🙂

Now, as out of character as it might seem for Jesus to inflict physical pain on anyone, we must remember that Justice is one of his attributes as he is God. He has every right to punish sin, and he was sending out…[Read more]

@scribbles

Oh but that’s the fun of it! We light it all on fire, and the fold space to get away, or fold space around us in such a way as to protect our bodies, but then we can play with the fire. Bending space is awesome!

@scribbles

What’s a rubric?

@scribbles

*sighs* Okay…

*perks up* New hypothesis! Neptune! It’s blue gassy surface will be rather calming, and make it so we don’t go crazy with all the deadly storms.

@graceabounds2129

What about those you are around? Have you ever seen them treated wrong? Maybe try this. Next time someone who works next to you is sad, walk over and just sit there. Sit next to them. Start out with silence, and work your way from there.

I bet that’s exciting!
