You try to catch me late night or actually early morning

2020-02-26 22:59:58 UTC  

How's it going

2020-03-09 06:10:36 UTC  

Was there a biblical question for this week from Jesse?

2020-03-11 22:25:42 UTC  

Is it okay to do boxing or MMA, I think its good to create strong men but it also involves anger

2020-03-11 22:29:07 UTC  

@Genesis how's it involve anger

2020-03-11 22:29:31 UTC  

The best fighters are methodical and logical in their fighting

2020-03-11 22:30:00 UTC  

Right but you have to have some form of anger to be able to be violent

2020-03-11 22:30:16 UTC  

Not really violence it's competition

2020-03-11 22:30:38 UTC  

Obviously but fighting is a form of violence right

2020-03-11 22:30:50 UTC  

The goal is to hurt the opponent

2020-03-11 22:31:08 UTC  

I wouldn't say fighting on equal terms with respect for your opponent is violent

2020-03-11 22:31:27 UTC  

Violence doesent have to be bad right sometimes violence is neccessary

2020-03-11 22:32:06 UTC  

Yeah but in my opinion competitive fighting isn't violence

2020-03-11 22:32:33 UTC  

? what is violence then

2020-03-11 22:33:23 UTC  

Like if someone ran up on you in the street you don't know if they are trying to kill you or what

2020-03-11 22:33:59 UTC  

I think I understand what you're saying but violence doesn't have to be bad

2020-03-11 22:34:02 UTC  

so no need to redefine it

2020-03-11 22:35:01 UTC  

trying to knock out someone is violent but is it okay to do from a Christian perspective

2020-03-11 22:36:13 UTC  

Obviously you should respect the opponent and only do what's necessary to win but I think it involves some form of anger so im not sure if it should be done

2020-03-11 22:55:06 UTC  

@Genesis you don't need anger to be violent. That's just what your anger/ego wants you to believe.

2020-03-11 22:55:46 UTC  

So you can be at peace whilst still being a good violent fighter?

2020-03-11 22:55:52 UTC  

Indeed

2020-03-11 22:55:55 UTC  

ok

2020-03-11 22:56:00 UTC  

Peace is within, violence is without

2020-03-11 22:56:20 UTC  

Hey fellas

2020-03-11 22:56:23 UTC  

heyyo

2020-03-11 22:57:20 UTC  

yo I also have another question when jesse says all thoughts are lies how in the world are u meant to decide what to do with your life without thinking

2020-03-11 22:57:27 UTC  

Stiller do u participate in combat sports?

2020-03-11 22:58:03 UTC  

sometimes I spar with friends

2020-03-11 22:58:09 UTC  

but not competitively no

2020-03-11 22:58:12 UTC  

Stiller, the thoughts pretend to be you but you're actually deeper than the thoughts

2020-03-11 22:58:17 UTC  

You can do everything you do now without thoughts

2020-03-11 22:58:23 UTC  

Try out the silent prayer, brother.

2020-03-11 22:59:33 UTC  

Sparring is fun.

2020-03-11 22:59:35 UTC  

I have been doing the silent prayer, but sometimes u know u gotta think about things like answers on a test or what to learn and what to ignore

2020-03-11 22:59:50 UTC  

amen brother

2020-03-11 23:00:34 UTC  

I wouldn't say so necessarily. For example when I am counting change for a customer, if I try to think about it, my mind goes blank. Yet, if I merely look at the money, I already know how much to give back

2020-03-11 23:00:44 UTC  

The ego actually restricts us from using natural talents
