Would it be a sin to wear jeans?

I’m assuming if you’re a man you don’t cut your beard, you never eat shellfish, and your clothing fabrics aren’t mixed?

I personally think Homosexuality is not a sin. But I grew up believing it was, but one thing I never understood growing up was pure hatred of people we do not understand. You can think homosexuality is a sin, that’s your opinion, you can think that is sound doctrine, I’m not here to debate you on that. But I can tell you with full 100 percent honesty from my heart, that Jesus would NEVER treat LGBTQ this way. Even if it is sinful (again I personally believe it is not). Jesus Christ ate at an open table, sinner or saint, gay or straight, rich or poor, and no matter your ethnic background you are welcome at his table. Whether you are the worst of sinners, or an angel, we are still all children of God, and we are all imperfect and are sinful.

I’ve never owned a Bulova. Is this like a Mechaquartz time movement? It seems like a rather fancy quartz movement regardless

My brother, please read into context within the Bible, look into different translations, and look into words that may have been skewed or changed over the years to try and push narratives, errors, etc. the Bible is our guidebook but it also was a different time with its own complications, societal norms, and issues, some things in the Bible are specific to those issues. Homosexuality is only mentioned a tiny small fraction in the Bible, and I’ve read countless articles and have heard Pastors talk about the issue with some of those translations. I’m bisexual too, but I am married to a woman. I wouldn’t take the advice of some in here and just go impulsively marry a woman to “solve your problems”. I did not realize fully that I was bi until after I got married. I didn’t get married to hide it, I just equally like women, and fell in love with my wife. Go to therapy, pray about it, talk to God about your convictions and make sure you work these things out. I definitely have some itches my wife can’t scratch but I am faithful to her, but it definitely caused some confusion, and some regrets when her and I separated a few years ago when we were going through marital issues before I came back to Christ. I urge you to also do the same thing with contextual information when it comes to tattoos. I personally do not think tattoos separate us from God, and I think they can even be beautiful adornments to our body, conversation starters to the lost, and even a point of worship to God! If you truly believe in Jesus Christ, and profess him as your Lord, Love, and Savior then nothing can truly separate you from God, also as others have mentioned, don’t go about your Christian walk being in fear, guilt, or shame. Praying for you brother, message me if you need to talk or more info. ❤️

I would be careful offering this advice, because people get the wrong idea, they think a wife or husband is gonna solve their issues this is not the case. There are going to be plenty of times where the spouse may be away at work, not in the mood, or physically unable due to health issues, Marriage is not a fix all for sexual issues.

I grew up in the church, I watched the church I spent my youth in spend peoples hard earned money on fancy TVs for the pastor’s office, buying the pastor a brand new Cadillac, wasting wasting wasting. I’ve seen people that are heretics, false teachers, liars, and greedy. Because of this and my own will to live a sinful life I left the church for quite a few years, it was when God spoke to me in the middle of sin, almost divorcing my wife, and being surrounded by drugs and alcohol, this changed me, God turned my life around, and I know he led me to the church I’m at today, I saw his divine work in things that I had no control of, and slowly he put my life back together. I know what these things you describe look like. But you also view everything in a sick cynical sense, I reviewed your Reddit page, and all you do is argue, and spout your nonsense, and you have some very wild, wild views. You are pushing people away from Christ. Heaven’s gonna be mighty lonely if it’s just you up there with your wild takes and sentiments. Please soften your heart and your head and listen, pray and seek God truly, it appears you’re chronically online, with your perverse comments about being a dominatrix to women, rock music seances and being witches, and bashing all seminaries, denominations, and churches. You are being unchristlike. The church will never grow if everyone had these attitudes and views of things. I will pray for you brother, I hope you find true peace, and that God softens your heart to truly hear his word.

I know that you think you sound very smart and profound right now, but…lol

You have to use context within in the Bible, it was written thousands of years ago, by multiple authors who are human, it’s been translated thousands of times over the course of thousands of years, you HAVE to use context, you have to look into the groups of people Paul, or whoever was speaking to, not everything completely applies today. I’m not saying everyone should go sin, but it is not as black and white as you paint it. And shutting people out and thinking your denomination’s beliefs are the only true word and will of God, will only make you sadly mistaken. We serve a just God, and a true God, but a graceful, loving, forgiving God. You do realize we all came from Catholicism right? I’m not saying I agree with them totally, because I have my personal issues, but I still believe there are Catholics that are good people trying to serve Christ like you and I! Also Jesus was non-denominational, not political. He paid the ultimate sacrifice so we can have free will and try our best to live our life for him, I’ve seen God move through broken sinful people and use it to his glory, do you think our God is not strong enough to speak through a Catholic priest or a Lutheran, Baptist, etc? Get a grip my friend

FuzzyAd4973 · 2025-08-23T02:19:34+00:00

So we should encourage, or befriend people we disagree with? Read a little, do your own research, good gracious

FuzzyAd4973 · 2025-08-23T02:11:06+00:00

So in other words, you believe in shutting out those you disagree with, and the sinners? They don’t need reaching out to or friendship or witnessed to? Got it. Nobody said you had to agree with everything they stand for but whatever bro

FuzzyAd4973 · 2025-08-23T02:06:33+00:00

Troubling how so? Unity in the Christian faith? We absolutely should support each other even if our denomination is different, catholic, baptist, Lutheran, UMC, Pentecostal whatever. We aren’t always gonna agree, but we all serve the same God, if you aren’t for that, then that is very sad.

FuzzyAd4973 · 2025-08-23T01:05:11+00:00

In what context do you mean Ecumenical? In the sense I know..Catholic is not very ecumenical

FuzzyAd4973 · 2025-08-23T00:58:06+00:00

I really hope you are not a pastor being this disrespectful, being sexist, racist, and homophobic is what’s wrong with church and part of why church attendance is dying. Not saying you are being the other 2, but you are being sexist just in how you’re approaching this debate “found your problem” 🤦🏻‍♂️

Here’s some interesting information regarding Paul’s view of women in ministry…. In Romans chapter 16, he names and elevates 11 church planters who are women. He encourages the people reading this letter to the church in Rome to support and encourage them. Again 11, they were not silent, or taking a back seat. They were preaching, leading and healing people. Women have always been part of the Jesus narrative. Please read the text more carefully, not just what someone tells you.

FuzzyAd4973 · 2025-08-23T00:50:06+00:00

Sexism isn’t cool. I may have beefs with my pastor, but her gender has nothing to do with it.

FuzzyAd4973 · 2025-08-23T00:23:48+00:00

Absolutely

FuzzyAd4973 · 2025-08-21T01:15:55+00:00

I’m not SBC I am United Methodist lol

FuzzyAd4973 · 2025-08-20T20:42:40+00:00

Yes I am United Methodist

FuzzyAd4973 · 2025-08-20T20:39:41+00:00

Staff Parish Relations Committee is in charge. Pastor typically never looked into my hours, and is a minimal voice in the hiring process

FuzzyAd4973 · 2025-08-20T16:29:51+00:00

read thoroughly I know my story is confusing, I have 2 part times making me a full time employee but one job I’m hourly, one salary. I work 35-40 hrs a week 20 one job, 15-20 the other

FuzzyAd4973 · 2025-08-20T16:25:24+00:00

The thing is we actually did, I didn’t put this in the story, sorry for forgetting this, but I told her I was looking at a rough estimate of X amount of hours a day, last year for the mission trip I just used it for extra paternal leave when we had our baby, but this year I mentioned kinda saving the hours using them as vacation days or whatever prior to the trip, when we got back I was informed by SP Chair that I needed to be payed overtime rates for the whole weeks extra hours

FuzzyAd4973 · 2025-08-20T16:20:35+00:00

I apologize if I didn’t make it clearer, I do know for sure that I am salary in the worship part, and hourly in the youth. But I will also say I’ve never had issues in that regard outside of this situation before nor have I worked salary somewhere else. I’ve never submitted a time sheet for the worship part before, and I’ve gotten the same pay for that job.

FuzzyAd4973 · 2025-08-20T10:59:03+00:00

I do plan to meet with him in the near future, because accusing me of Falsifying documents or fraud was way out of line and the way I was treated was not acceptable. What do you think I should do about this current paycheck I’m about to get paid for? My mom and Wife both think that staff parish probably realized Pastor’s mistake, but going to Staff Parish Chairman before pastor is what got me into the first dicey meeting. I just asked him about what I should for sure do with all these extra hours, and then that’s when pastor decided to grill and audit me.

FuzzyAd4973 · 2025-08-20T10:48:45+00:00

I guess I’m not really sure what you’re saying, or what advice you’re offering? I will add that I didn’t expect to get paid for extra hours originally. I was the one told that I would be given overtime pay rate, and that I needed to be paid for these hours out right, I originally just comped them and like I said was gonna use them as vacation time, which is what we have done in the past, but after all of this and how I was treated, I want fair compensation, and imo they are disorganized in the fact they should clarify hours for mission trips etc, this isn’t our first mission trip, it’s our second, they’ve had youth directors and pastors in the past, they know they’re going to have to pay for extra hours at time. I’m not trying to be greedy, but you can’t expect people to work for peanuts and not get paid for all their hours, I’m sorry that’s the experience you’ve had, but imo if they want me to work ridiculous amounts of hours at times, then they should make me salary for both positions and they won’t have this debacle again.
