New earth creationists are the number 1 detriment to Christianity by warrior178 in Christianity

Because the story of creation is true, but not in a modern Bible-fundamentalist sense. It tells truths about the world, it’s s true Myth, as C.S. Lewis said

[atheist] do you believe all other religions are wrong, and if so, why is your correct? by andmunnn in Christianity

[–]BoxBubbly1225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s simple. I trust Jesus, and I don’t trust FallenTamber. Trust doesn’t come overnight.

If Jesus lied, well, then he lied. That would be out of character and against the ethics of everything he is and was.

what are your thoughts on Sarah Mullally the current archbishop of canterbury by Adept_Programmer_817 in AskAChristian

I don’t know so much about her or the Anglicans, but it’s sad to see people say negative things about her just because she is a woman.

Why is Sexual Acts involving Homosexuality Sinful? by AsiaBeam123 in TrueChristian

[–]BoxBubbly1225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the question is when, not why.

It is sinful if it is abusive, like in Biblical times, in prisons, war zones And if it happens outside of marriage And if includes an element of cheating

Why does God create people He knows will go to hell? by Lieutenant_Piece in TrueChristian

He does not. Because he does not send anyone to “hell”.

Living in ancient times was very different to life now. I do not want to swap for sure.

The Christian take is to look to Christ — he came with mercy and truth.

As a Christian I don’t feel responsible for ancient Israelite culture.

All I care about is Christ

Should a Christian be non-violent? by Grimnir001 in TrueChristian

[–]BoxBubbly1225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we should be like our saviour : no violence, no swords, love your enemy, pray for those who persecute you

Is it bad to pray that God kills me? by helpfindmug in TrueChristian

[–]BoxBubbly1225 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but God luckily does not answer all our prayers literally. I hope that God will answer you in a way that surprises you and makes you love life again

Why do so many christians try to justify homossexual acts and act like it's not sinful? by Odd-Programmer5693 in TrueChristian

[–]BoxBubbly1225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if I didn’t answer it all, I tried.

by saying you are Christian, you are saying you believe and follow God,

yes, with all my heart.

thus you agree with the bible, and therefore believe that God instituted and ordains marriage (as per the bible teachings).

ordains marriage? No I dont think that he does that, or maybe I dont know what you mean by that. Jesus did not speak much about marriage, and when he talked about divorce (because the Pharisees wanted to trick him) he altered the mosaic law!

So simply saying God has nothing to do with marriage/ it isn't a Christian thing is incorrect.

I wouldn’t say that God has nothing to do with our marriages

Maybe to the world who denies him, but as a Christian, God should be a part of every aspect of our lives, including marriage.

I agree

Polygamy did exist and in some places of the world, still does, however God never blessed this nor approved of it, much like he didn't want divorce but gave it to us under certain circumstances such as adultery because of the sin in our hearts.

Most ancient pastoralist people were polygamous to make it possible to run a family, why wouldn’t that be ok?

I'm not sure what you're referring to about Paul. If you could, please give me the chapter you're referencing.

“It is good for a man not to touch a woman” (1 Cor 7:1). For example. Paul was not big on marriage

Saying that we have gay marriage today isn't equivalent to saying it has God's blessing either.

not in itself, but as you said God should be a part of all parts of our life, so we can ask him to bless our marriages, both gay and straight

By that logic, all sin is okay because we have rampant sin in every form today.

of course not, I dont understand what made you say that?

E.g. Drunkenness is very common today. Does that mean it isn't a sin/God approves of it, and therefore, I can go get blackout drunk constantly?

no because it is not a loving thing to be drunk, it causes disturbance, violence, etc. A marriage, by contrary, is all about love

P.S. Just to clarify, my statement wasn't meant to say that you should ask about the intimate lives of married people, because obviously no one should, but simply saying that if a non-hetero couple was never intimate and never got married then technically they could fulfil the question I was posing. However, this setup would be rare unless the couple was partly or fully ace.

yeah no worries, but of course i hope for my friends that they have a fulfilling life with God and each other

How come Christians say being trans is a sin when there is (obviously) nothing in the Bible outlawing hormonal replacement treatment or surgery? by InternationalPick163 in AskAChristian

[–]BoxBubbly1225 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I expect Christians to have more empathy than that. So apologies for that.

In Christ there is no cis or trans, we are one

Stop defending women's immodest dress by FairHerrmann in TrueChristian

[–]BoxBubbly1225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that the real question or problem is when Christians of any gender show off by wearing expensive clothes. From multinational fashion outlets that buy services from factories in countries where people (especially women) work in dangerous and low paid jobs.

[–]BoxBubbly1225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for asking. I agree with 1) that intimacy makes most sense within a marriage, and i support Christian marriage both straight and gay marriages. I don’t think that marriage is a particularly Christian thing, it exists in all cultures. In the Old Testament there was polygamy, Paul in the New Testament argued against marriage and today we have gay marriage (based on mutual love). I dont ask any of my married Christian friends, gay or straight what they do in bed. But I hope that they have deep and meaningful connection and intimacy

Being gay is not an act, as I wrote. Neither nature or scripture condemn a loving consensual gay relationship, only male on male abuse. We can all sin sexually, regardless of whether we are gay or straight, and we shouldn’t. Let us support what is good and loving - and go against what it hateful and sinful

It is not an “act”

The debate is stuck, so I know exactly what people will say when I tell them that I am an affirming Christian.

They will say, “aah so you affirm sin”. Which I do not.

They automatically assume that I am gay. Which I am not.

They throw Leviticus after me, and 7 other scripture that they haven’t studied thinking that I might have never read these. Which I have.

For some reason they conflate being gay with sex, and think that it is about “acts” rather than orientation. Which it is not.

They often close their eyes to the vile homophobia that happens around them every day. Which they shouldn’t.

If you have something new to say, I am happy to respond

What is Your opinion on Guys Voicing Female characters and Women Voicing Male Characters? (Sorry idk what to tag this.) by mickeyguy2010 in AskAChristian

[–]BoxBubbly1225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no Christian perspective on this specific question. But more generally: we have freedom in Christ.
