My favorite...

music genre is rock 'n' roll.

Of note: I'm a fan of all genres- bet you've never heard that before, yeah? No, really. I can jam with all kinds of music. I lean towards any music with a guitar. But the music I enjoy has a uniting factor: it sounds good. But actually, I can't stand listening to music that does nothing to stand out. I can't stand corporate-produced music. But it's kind of hard to put into words. Good music is good, bad music is bad, and if you get it then you get it. If you don't, that's okay, I just probably won't enjoy your music.
Of further note: I am very selective when it comes to music due to my faith. I am completely aware of the satanic influences that exist in lyrics that can affect your spiritual well-being consciously or subconsciously (this is especially prevalent in rock and metal). I don't partake in any music that makes a mockery of Christ or promotes satan, either genuinely OR satirically, whether it be in lyrics, song titles, album titles, or cover art. If an album was produced at a time where the lyric writer was on lots of drugs (which is a lot of rock and metal from the 70s and 80s) then I tend to avoid it, although it's not a disqualifier altogether. I tend to be more careful when I listen to albums that are not spiritually themed in either direction (agnostic). In the case of songs, I tend to skip any that have curse words or lyrics that promote debauchery or promiscuity, although it doesn't deter me from listening to the whole album. I'm not sure if hypervigilance is necessary for everyone when it comes to music. Some people don't listen to the lyrics at all and just like the way a song sounds, which is fine. But I am the kind of person that loves to dive into lyrics and the history of the bands I love, and I know that the music I listen to affects me spiritually. Regardless, everyone should at least be aware of the music they are putting into their ears.

game is ROBLOX.

Disclaimer: I am well aware of the controversies surrounding ROBLOX. I started playing as a very little kid back in 2011, and I've consistently played it ever since. Some of my best friends were made on ROBLOX, and I've sank countless hours into it. I've watch the game grow from something that was unique and passion-driven into a corporate hellscape. But the game is like a second home to me, and although there's so much bad attached to the game, there are still little pockets of good hiding inside.

drink is coffee.

Usually black, but I don't mind one made up every once in a while.

verse is Isaiah 6:8.
food is pizza.

The ultimate food item. Arguably the oldest and most robust food combination according to human history (bread and cheese), conjoined with the ultimate vegetable (yes I know it's a fruit). Primarily European-style wood-fired pizza but I can enjoy American-style, especially deep dish.

celebrity is Jesus.
love language is physical presence.
kind of food is Texican.
guitarist is Tony Iommi.
period in music is 1990-1993.
period in video gaming is 2011-2014.

I love...

Jesus.
music.
B-side songs.
dogs.
my homeland.
my family.
my friends.
you.

My opinion on...

the Bible is that it is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. I believe that there are supplementary texts and earthly authorities that God still uses to teach us lessons, increase our wisdom, educate us about His creation, and draw us closer to Him, but His Word carries the ultimate authority.
denominations is that I love all of my Christian brothers and sisters equally and I try my hardest to not let our differences get in the way of love or entering into eachother's labor. I believe that we are all unified in a single spiritual church with Christ as the head. I affirm the Nicene Creed. As for if the global church refers to a physical church? I'm not sure. I am still searching and praying to God for guidance that He would lead me to the truth. Regardless, we are told that we shall know His people by their fruits, and it seems clear that people of all sorts of denominations bear the fruit of the Spirit. Whenever a person gives their life to Christ, I see it as a win regardless of denomination. I acknowledge that the existence of multiple denominations is not a good thing, but God's grace and mercy is endless and I believe we should be grateful of His mercy and move towards unity, and hopefully one singular denomination. We are explicitly told that division is a fruit of the flesh, and not the Spirit. I pray that God would influence my actions so that I do not drive more people towards disunity, but into unity. As for my own denomination, I guess you could say that I'm non-Denominational, or Baptist, but at the moment I attend multiple different services because I am still seeking guidance from God as to where He wants me to be, and I crave His presence.
LGBT is that anything that detracts from God's plan for humanity is a sin and needs repentance. I do not subscribe to the idea that homosexuality is a uniquely evil sin, because God hates ALL sin and calls us to do the same. An unrepentant gay person and an unrepentant straight person both carry the same sentence: hell. But what I will NOT do is hate, alienate, or deny a gay person. I will resist the LGBT agenda and LGBT influence on public society, but I will never advocate for restricting the rights and freedoms of an LGBT person. I will love them with an unconditional love, but I will not affirm their belief or lifestyle.
abortion is that it is pure evil and should be outlawed. I believe that the pro-abortion stance is filled with holes and is among the easiest ideologies to debunk. I believe that a human is a human since the God-worked miracle of conception and should be protected and allowed to live regardless of the circumstance in which they were conceived. I don't believe that mothers who get abortions were knowingly acting out of evil when they get abortions. If abortion were criminalized, I believe that it should be criminalized for the abortion practitioners, but as for the mothers, I'm not so sure. I believe that the criminalization of abortion should be leavened by support for mothers, adoption services, and foster programs, but shouldn't be predicated on those things. I still carry unconditional love for mothers who have aborted a child as well as abortion practitioners, and I pray that they come to repentance.
AI is that .
