>>83778920Ok but why u use the mma jew guy?
>>83779095he's known for instigating, which relates to the thread verse
>>83779112>he's known for instigating, which relates to the thread verseI guess
>>83778920>steven andersonNot a real Christian.
>>83779121Literally this. Dude is a blatant heretic and anons just cling to him because he said a few based things about the fags.
Why are we posting top dawg Helwani? My second favorite Jew, unironically.
>>83779325What claims has he made that are contrary to the bible? You haven't been duped by catholics, have you, anon?
>>83779119MMA ITP made a youtube video on it today, and I couldn't think of a better example
>>83779862I like ITP, but I think both his and the public hate boner for Ariel are exaggerated. He at least tries to to ask fighters real questions, unlike most media. Especially his interviews are good, and dig deeper than "how are you feeling about x fight?".Like when he recently spoke to Dustin Porier, he asked him about his desire to fight again, if it was gonna happen, and "dared" to asked what he meant about staying sober. Those are topics most media members don't tread on.

>>83752436But wouldn't that be unfair to the few good people among the bad ones?
>>83779989I don't dislike Ariel, he's an interesting character, without him mma would be a bit less colourful. Even people who don't like him would probably admit this.I thought the behaviour he was being called out on recently (trying to repeating a controversial matter between friends to try cause strife) fit the thread's verse. Obviously there's a difference from doing this very publicly because you're an entertainer and doing it in your private life to ruin friendships.>>83780626We inherit the circumstances of our parents, when you sin, you make life harder for your descendants >Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.That's why generally, you shouldn't allow sin to perpetuate in your country, I think the English speaking Western world is headed for a bad century. In the days when Judah had royals, the good kings destroyed the altars to other gods and destroyed the houses of the sodomites. Even speaking relatively recently, WW2 followed Weimar, the aids crisis followed increased public acceptance of sodomy, etc.
GN let's try hard again tomorrow
>>83781718good night, may God keep you close, fren
>>83779858>What claims has he made that are contrary to the bible?>bible alone>faith alone>once saved always saved>rejection of biblical repentance >KJV-onlyism>so called doctrine of reprobation>Christ suffered torture/torment in hellJust to name a few
>>83780763I think the "instigating" comments are largely from people that don't know much about the sport, and certainly aren't familiar with Ariel. It's in the same vein of people who came into the UFC in the past few years and have been consuming UFC propaganda slop and gaslit into believing that JBJ is this diety of fighting. Completely ignoring all his failed drug tests, his shenanigans with avoiding fights multiple times (Sonnen on short notice, Francis, Stipe (before he was 400 years old), Tom), the fact that he lost to Matt Hamill, went life and death with Thiago Santos and Alexander Gustafsson, and lost to Dominic Reyes. Since that's never brought up, newer fans just plug their ears to it.I feel like it's a similar situation with Helwani. People have just "heard" that he's some shit flinger, and run with the narrative. If you asked them to name two instances of that actually happen, they'd blank. Very likely they've never watched one of his in person or over-camera interviews in their lives. But Daddy Dana doesn't like him so that's enough for some.
anyone have prayer requests, let me know. if you want me to just pray for you, that's also okay.
>>83782269Please pray to Baby Jesus for you to stop being gay
>>83778920I tried, I really did. I bought a Bible, was pretty good about praying for a while. But I just can't, there's no way God could love me. I'm cowardly, I'm weak, I'm disgusting. I don't deserve anything from Him because I'm a pathetic human being. I'm too stupid to even know what to believe or find a church to attend, and I'm not baptized. It would be better for me to burn.
>>83782355God's love for you is not based on how you perceive yourself. the character of His love for you, is longsuffering. as in the parable of the prodigal son, when the son sheepishly returns, after having spent all his inheiritance, and expecting rebuke, the father bounds for him with all the love and blessings he can afford. the father was waiting faithfully for his son to return, not turning to anger in what could be perceived as rejection or refusal of his authourity in his son's life, but long suffering love. so come back to your Heavenly Father, anon. He is waiting with only blessings and love for you, not strictness and rebuke. He wouldn't have redeemed you through His son's blood before you were even born otherwise.
>>83782422I always fail to keep God's commandments, even as much as I love Him. I can't even tell if I'm following His will or my own, I confuse and paralyze myself with fear and indecision. And as much as I try to learn it still feels like I know nothing, I'm equally as hopeless as ive ever been. Im just a disgrace to the Lord.
>>83779095>arab jewIs he the anti-christ? How is such a combo permitted to exist???
>>83779989>>83779862Is /r9k/ a gurusalem board? Ive come around to Flukas Glazy's specific flavor of autism but he doesnt talk shit enough
>>83783245No. Guru is mostly annoying to me, but I don't mind that he's a part of the space. Lucas isn't interesting to me either.Shit talking is annoying in general.
>>83783266Its entertainment and i like to love or hate the fighters, makes it feel much more compelling to hang on the edge of your seat if a guy gets dropped or fights like a retard(see: retard paddy pimblett getting worked by gaethje)
>>83783281I agree that you get attached to fighters positively or negatively. But I don't need them to talk a bunch of bubu for me to feel that way. That just happens naturally to me.The best shit was when Fitch was running through WW and all these bozos were whining because they couldn't stop him. He was one of my favorite fighters for a good couple of years between like 2005-2010. That's the dynamic I like, just what gets accomplished through work alone.
>>83783180not everyone in the bible was upright, yet God still used them to reveal His glory and do His will. not everyone who was healed by Jesus was a believer, yet He still ministered miracles unto them. the Holy Spirit will give you the spirit of discernment, to be able to see through satan's deception and fraud. keep your faith, anon. there is nothing on this world that is worth it, we are slaves to sin here. belief and faith in Jesus Christ, that He redeemed us from our sins on that cross frees us from that bondage, and then we become obedient servants to do God's will. God is our Heavenly Father, but he is also our Sovereign Lord, who we show loyalty to through that obedience and servitude. we don't have to, He gives us the choice to wander, to give up our grip while walking with Him, and lust after the flesh, but because He loves us, we show our love back through our commitment to our faith. give it some time, and pray that He works through the strongholds in your heart, mind, and soul, that prevent you from worshipping Him wholly. pray that he increases your faith, a bedrock to stand on when the world around you crumbles apart. things will turn upwards for the better, just keep faith and don't beat yourself up too harsh because God loves you and sees the good in you, even if the world doesn't.
Does Jesus still love me if I have chronic porn addiction?
>>83783621we are all born in iniquity, anon. there isn't a christian other than Christ that hasn't sinned. that's why we believe in Him, to redeem us from the consequences of transgression against God's law, death, and instead are promised eternal life through belief in Him because He restored our relationship with God. if you choose to pursue Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, He will help you break free from your addictions, for in our weakness, we find the strength of the Lord.
>>83783695The thing is I have a lot of lust and I would want a very sexually attractive girl to be my girlfriend but I know that isn't God's plan for me. I can't accept the celibate deadbedroom life that plagues Western couples nowadays.
>>83783742where did the lust come from?
