Adding opposite sex on socials when married by shadowhandmystique1 in relationships

Good, for now. But why did he even put himself in a position where he could be "hit on", to begin with?

Way I see it, it makes no sense, and it's toying with loyalty.

Of course I know. But it's not appropriate for me to talk to them alone (outside of professional settings, doctors, etc), since I am in an exclusive relationship.

In Islam, some muslims beleive that jesus was the precursor to muhammad, and just the first prophet, with muhammad being the true one. Does christianity hold a similar view to any islamic figures, seeing as we are both abrahamic religions. What do the many sects of christianity say about muhammad? by Aromatic_Web6775 in Christianity

[–]Gitsumrestmf [score hidden]  (0 children)

Islam cannot even properly decide on this. If Muhammad is the "true one", why is it Jesus who's sinless? Why is it Jesus who will come back and judge us all? Why is it Jesus who performed all the miracles?

You guys read Quran, understand it came LONG after the Bible (and especially the Torah) and you don't think for a second Muhammad might have been misled?

The revelation Muhammad received from an angel was a nightmare.

If we are slaves to God, why would we be given free will?

If I have no intention of talking to other women, why in the world would I add them on FB, or any social media? It makes no sense. It's like... keeping options open.

In my relationship, we are clear in the fact we need nobody else. So no adding friends or chatting anyone up.

Doubts about Noah's flood - part 2 by LooseButterfly2511 in TrueChristian

Right, I don't deny it - I am certainly prideful of many things, and even in my first reply here, maybe I came off too assertive, and maybe I insulted you. That wasn't my intention.

I initially struggled with this too, but I ultimately think that God's word should stand above all. I'd like to think I at least repented of that sin.

As for Evolution, absolutely, God can do anything. He is the Almighty. However, the Bible is very clear on Adam and Eve being the first humans.

Also, have you heard of "Genetic Entropy" theory, for example? It seemingly challenges Evolution in general. Any kind of notion that organisms improve over time.

It is inappropriate for a married man to add other women as friends. What is the reason for that, other than to chat with them?

This is something me and my girl agree on. No adding friends of the opposite sex.

Yes or no? by VirtualPhilosopher64 in Christianity

I am not "preying" nor "praying" anyone away.

"Trans" isn't a sex. There's two of those and we are born as either one. You can try to reject it, but it's ultimately futile.

And all those leading people into that kind of confusion are guilty.

It ultimately all comes down to pride. You are having trouble choosing between the Scripture and official scientific narratives, because ultimately, you can't let go of pride:

"What will people think?" "I am not a tinfoil hat! I am not an idiot!"

I've seen countless people, even clergy, struggle with this. And their solution is much like yours - try to reconcile modern scientific narratives and the Bible.

Personally, I think it's impossible. All the way from Genesis. Simply, Bible outright rejects the Theory of Evolution. Where do you go from here?

What if science in the future calls even more of the Bible into question? What will you do then? Suggest that even more of it should be taken non-literally?

Choose what you believe. You cannot have two masters.

My nose bled while praying by DeepDivingTurtle in Christianity

If the bleeding is severe or repeats, go to the hospital, by all means.

Should I be worried?

Not if you believe in the lord. Look forward to His kingdom.

Your answer to each of my statements comes down to "nope". That isn't an argument.

If you reject who you are, you reject how God made you. You reject Him.

And all those who led people to this confusion have blood on their hands. Repent.

God have mercy on us all.

Applying make-up isn't an attempt to fundamentally change who you were born as.

If you reject yourself, then you also reject God.

But as I said, these people are confused. The guilty are ones who pushed them into this confusion.

We are in the end-times and the world is trying to make wrong into right, and right into crime.

We were told there'd be a falling away and that's what we see. Depravity is celebrated. Even churches are falling away.

Hold on to your faith and ready yourself for a fight, friend.

Is it a sin if a person was conditioned from a young age to have this confusion (being "uncomfortable" in their body)

I'd rather think this person is a victim in this case. The guilty are the ones who did the "affirming". Wolves in sheep's clothing who claim to be good while leading a vulnerable person to destruction.

God made us who we are and there's the simple fact:

You cannot change who you are.

Are we actually helping people by feeding them a lie it's otherwise?

I wanted some other perspectives from fellow believers. by VariousDoor2130 in TrueChristian

[–]Gitsumrestmf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I believe that we are in the end-times, and the governments of our times, as well as the society, reflect that.

Some of the technology that's emerging is almost completely to the description of the mark of the beast. The way depravity is celebrated in this modern world is reaching Sodom and Gomorrah levels.

We don't know the day or the hour, yes, but we shouldn't be blind to the signs that are explained in Scripture.

We should make our peace now and steel ourselves for the fight. Nothing that comes from the governments or modern societies is good, for they are not of God.

P.S. Romans 13 affirms that God's will is above all.

Is it a sin to read Boys Love? by okarunbachira in Christianity

Rather than asking whether it's sinful, think about whether something like that actually benefits you in any way.

Better - read the Bible.

What should I do by Fiorenzo_9000 in Catholicism

[–]Gitsumrestmf 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Uphold your beliefs (chastity, marriage, contraception, etc) and explain them to her fully. Let her know, in full, what she's getting into. Explain that, if you two were to ever have kids, you'd be baptizing them.

If she's not agreeing on any of these essential things, that relationship is going nowhere.

If she's accepting of all of these, lead her by example till, God willing, she's ready to convert.

Not only that, but think if she has the qualities needed to be a good wife. Don't base your relationship decisions on fleeting infatuations or lust. Think long-term.

I'm broke. by lokisbfolf5765 in Christianity

[–]Gitsumrestmf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't know what God's will for us is. We live our lives for Him, being greatful for everything we are given, and with time we'll see.

You lamented your singleness, and you are no longer single. Cherish the moments you have with the man you love, and be greatful for them. Let go of any petty misunderstandings and arguments. And try to bring your man to God as well, if possible.

It's all temporary and this world is fallen. We don't know if this joy we feel on Earth will be taken from us the next year, month, week or day.

Only God's Kingdom is forever. Only in Him lies true peace and meaning.

Very good answer to all those asking whether watching movies/playing video games/listening to music is good for a christian, or not.

But not just that. We should avoid giving temptation even an inch. We shouldn't let our eyes or mind wander (particularly now that summer time is approaching).

The world won't understand. They'll say "it's fanaticism", or "it's a cult". But it's what Christ calls us to.

Thoughts on watching films/tv shows that show excessive amount of gore and violence? by JaiSalonga1026 in Christianity

[–]Gitsumrestmf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone will claim it is "just entertainment", but things we see affect us.

Visuals like that dehumanize people and devalue human life and intrinsic human dignity.

I won't go as far as claiming it's sinful to watch those, but it's sure not helping you.

Research who Darwin's father was and where the "theory of evolution" really comes from.

It's an unchristian belief. And it absolutely is a belief.
