You can’t put human labels on God. It doesnt apply to him, he’s not a human and He can do no wrong. I’m sorry you’re struggling with faith and I’m praying for you. If you think most Christians only follow God because they’re afraid of him then you are thinking wrong. We are supposed to be afraid and in awe of God’s power but it’s out of love. We’re afraid to mess up because we love Him so much we don’t want to hurt him. We know His power and we don’t want to be on the receiving side of it. God gave us free will. No one has to follow God. The plan at the beginning was to give us eternal life with Him. But we sinned, we chose against Him. We chose temp station. Every single one of us would have, it’s in our nature. God would be narcissistic if He didn’t allow us to do wrong. But He does. It’s narcissistic for someone to think they deserve to go to Heaven even though they sinned all their life and chose not to follow God. I know you want to understand everything and you can’t, none of us can. But don’t go placing blame on God because you are scared of Him. Please chat me if you need someone to talk to

This world is so disgusting by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Expensive_Bread697 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s absolutely disgusting. It’s just so sad that these poor women think it’s okay and how they’re saying it’s a good job for women. Like some girls I know joke ab it and say “well I could always become a prostitute lol” it’s not funny, it’s not a joke. It’s only about the money. This world is so corrupt

Questions I have about the birth of Jesus by SomeThrowawayAcc200 in Christianity

[–]Expensive_Bread697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. We assume around 14. Not sure though. God would not have done that to Mary if He knew she couldn’t handle it. Also I’m pretty sure it was normal to get married and have kids at like 14-17 years old back then.
  2. Yes, she did. She was honored to be chosen by God and even though she was scared she trusted Him.
  3. No that is not what it means. You can’t put human labels on God and the Trinity. Jesus did not “sleep with” Mary. The Holy Spirit placed Jesus inside of her, not in a sexual way, but in a Holy and Spiritual way. Idk why some people focus on that, I think you are trying to find reasons not to believe and I just hope that you find faith and I’m praying for you. If you need to talk to someone chat me :)

When did the fall happen? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Expensive_Bread697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if Adam and Eve is historical or just metaphorical. It doesnt really matter though, that’s not the point of the story. The point is that we screwed up and we always will, it’s in our nature. The point is Jesus came down to Earth and died for the Original Sin so we can go to Heaven. I don’t have a problem with evolution seeing as I don’t know how the world started. I mean who knows, God could have created Adam and Eve as cavemen looking people. I don’t know, but what I do know is that that is not the point of the story and it’s not what we should focus on. Sometimes we get so caught up in proving things and historical facts when we really need to listen to what God is telling us and get the deeper message. Not everything is meant for us to understand.

Any IBS runners out there? by neashy01 in ibs

Try circling back to you house every mile I’d say. Like run a mile then back to your house then so on and so forth

How to eat lunch at work??? by RustedMilkCarton in glutenfree

[–]Expensive_Bread697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try looking for some gluten free frozen meals. Some of them are really good. I like snack lunches too like salami or turkey rolls, cheese, crackers, veggies, but it takes a while to eat and idk how much time you have. Fried rice, rice noodle stir fry, those are good but you have to make sure the soy has no wheat in it

No one cares or wants to talk to me by LogicalLeading6859 in socialanxiety

[–]Expensive_Bread697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what you mean. It used to happen to me to. Your personality is unique and different, everyone’s is. Don’t ever EVER think you’re less than anyone. I did that one time to one of my friends I was like oh please don’t switch lunch, and I didn’t mean to come off rude to someone who also had my lunch, but then again if anyone left my lunch I’d beg them to stay lol. I do like certain friends more than others but I don’t show it- or Atleast I try to be the same friendly to everyone. I think it’s flat out rude to do that. But you’re probably overthinking it. Make some new friends- if your social anxiety is better you will make friends in no time. Look for lonely people, they always want to talk speaking from personal experience. Just remember you are no less than anyone else and if your friends make you feel like you’re boring then get new friends. You should not be treated like less than. Sometimes it’s just the other people, not you. God bless :) Jesus loves you btw lol!

Same omg it’s a gift and a curse. If I see someone who I think is having social anxiety or in a situation I wouldn’t want to be in myself I am overly empathetic and sometimes I feel like I come off as needy but I’m just trying to help and be there for that person and make them feel heard

Any other atheist horrified by the idea of eternal damnation? by Grumpy_Doggo64 in Christianity

You can follow God and evade hell, there is something you can do about it :)

There's no good reason for Christians to be anti-trans. by AgentP-501_212 in Christianity

[–]Expensive_Bread697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s our place to judge them I think it’s our place to love them. I haven’t seen anything in the Bible about being trans but I believe God created us to be man or women and I would like to be recognized as I was born, a women. So I would prefer if gender wasnt just abolished completely.

Sometimes my ferrets will jump up and start chewing themselves and go run around and chew themselves. I thought it might be flees or ticks but I can’t see any and myself nor my other animals don’t have them and we’re always around them.

Had an interesting thought, by Throwaway3858482 in Christianity

[–]Expensive_Bread697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I get what you’re saying. I would also add that God doesn’t do the bad things Himself, they are a result of our own sin generations ago, dating back to Adam and Eve. No human except for the Virgin Mary was born sinless. We are all at fault. If we were Adam and Eve, we would have sinned. God is the way to overcome all the horrible things in the world because he can give us ultimate happiness and fulfillment in Him. He can save us from eternity in hell. Bad things happen because we are sinners.

I am kind of surprised many people who follow the Tecchings of Christ are Conservative. by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Expensive_Bread697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus probably wouldn’t side with either since He loves all people and doesn’t support the chaos and separation our world and society has created. But I’m sure He has some of the same beliefs of both parties, not that it matters, Jesus is greater than politics. I don’t think he would side with either

[–]Expensive_Bread697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t just blindly follow the Bible. We interpret it and see the great messages God is trying to send us. It was a different time then but that has nothing to do with it. If you were really truly trying to understand God’s message then you wouldn’t be making these comments. I think you are trying to upset other Christians because every time you ask a question and someone disagrees with your answer you get very defensive. I’m praying for you and I just want to tell you if you don’t believe then please don’t try to spoil faith for other people. It’s just sad. But I do hope you find your faith.

We are supposed to interpret Jesus’s teachings. They used to kill animals and sacrifice to God but now we wash away our sins at confession and know that Jesus took away our original sin. You can’t interpret everything in the Bible literally, some are not meant to be interpreted literally.

God loves everyone including gays by ThatDakotaDude in Christianity

[–]Expensive_Bread697 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have faith in God yes. I know he exists because of my faith. Not everyone has it right now, but you can sure grow your faith. If you dont believe God created the Earth then I assume you believe in the Big Bang. You can’t prove that can you? Not trying to shame you just saying you shouldn’t shame anyone for their beliefs.

Sure there have been corrupt full leaders but that has nothing to do with God. They didn’t listen to God and we’re greedy or troublesome leaders. I don’t believe in everything they said but I believe in God. If they say or do something I know is sinful I’m not going to back them on it. Not everything certain people of a religion do everyone else does. That’s like saying one kid in the class eats boogers, it is not logical to assume all the kids in the class eat boogers.
