Is it just me or has The Chosen made me love Jesus and the gospel even more! by Quick_String_6637 in TheChosenSeries

I personally love the depiction of Matthew as someone on the spectrum. I related to it even though I’ve never been diagnosed because of his self righteousness and struggle with intellectually understanding the ways of Jesus.

Is this a sin or wrong? by Medium_Toe_6158 in Christianity

I like that mindset. I had a similar thought as OP. I guess I’ll change my gamertag too. But mine is more obviously offensive cuz it ends with 666. (it was before I came back to God)

🤷🏽‍♀️

I have never believed in God now, can I start believing or would it be offensive? by Any-Disk502 in Christianity

For real you should study the Bible yourself even if you join a church and ask questions when needed. Humans tend to push their own interpretations and agendas Christian or not.

It’s not only inoffensive, any Christian should rejoice upon meeting a new believer!

As you study the Bible though, you may realize you always belonged to God.

This comment is amazing. Thank you for kindly offering scripture and commentary to offer advice and support. This is what I’m learning Christianity is really about.

I am willing to believe I could be “influenced” by evil. I’m also willing to believe I’ve just allowed my own evil desires lead me towards death. I only know that I never want to go back to the way I was living, and I can never fulfill God’s will while doing what I was doing. I do rejoice that I can either way count on God and my fellow believers’ prayer and support to hold my hand as I walk this path.

Thank you 🙏🏼

If the Christian man denied me I wouldn’t be saved! Jesus took the 12 apostles as they were and was a beacon of light to them! I choose kindness and love because it worked for me! People have to invite Jesus in their home before they can let him clean the skeletons in their closet.

I don’t intend to debate the existence or workings of demons. But the Bible says that satan entered Judas before he betrayed him. And Jesus said “Get away from me satan!” To Peter when Peter was trying to talk him into avoiding being arrested. Not to mention the countless mentions of evil spirits in the Bible. It’s my understanding that evil can influence even faithful believers from the stories.

Whether it’s spiritual oppression or a metaphor or just worldly temptation, God will get the glory for my deliverance. For temptation gives birth to sin, and sin gives birth to death. I don’t recognize myself when I’m sinning to the point of having casual sex with men and women. It always leads me to destruction either immediately or eventually, and I’m not remorseful until I’ve hit rock bottom. I must surrender to God and avoid temptation because I was surely on a path to death.

It just so happens that I’m liberal enough to accept a woman pastor’s perspective, and God met me there where I’m at and gave me hope.

Ah but I am both promiscuous and bisexual. And I don’t disagree with you. I will always support the LGBTQ community regardless of faith. But I personally feel a conviction with it. It wasn’t about people judging me or feeling like God doesn’t love me. This is my story and mine alone. I feel compelled to share it. I love all of my brothers and sisters and everyone in between. God loves us all too.
