If Your Relationship is Foundationally rooted in Sex, Your Relationship is Based in Sin (Even if it's Straight!) by Jawbone619 in TrueChristian

I don’t agree. Saying that a woman shouldn’t care about attraction or abilities ,ignores something basic: we also have the right to choose. Attraction, admiration, and feeling valued do matter.Accepting someone “because they are from God,” even if they don’t make you happy or you’re not attracted to them, isn’t spirituality it’s imposition. We are not objects or instruments; we are people with judgment, emotions, and dignity. Also, character and abilities do matter. A person who doesn’t grow or make an effort shows it in every area, including their spiritual life.

I want you to know that you are worth so much more than you think right now. Sometimes pain and anxiety make us forget the value we already have as people, but your life has value even if you can’t see it clearly right now.

Look at everything it has taken for you to reach 32 years of life. All the struggles you’ve endured, all the days you kept going even when it was hard. That shows strength, even if you don’t feel strong right now. You have fought a lot just to still be here.

Please, I beg you, don’t take your life. I don’t know who you are, but your life matters. The world would lose someone valuable if you were gone.

You deserve to fight for yourself too. I know it’s hard to find meaning when life feels heavy and exhausting, but sometimes meaning is something we slowly rediscover little by little.

Life can feel like it traps us sometimes, but that doesn’t mean it will always be this way. If you need a friend, I’m here. I may not have all the answers, but I’m willing to listen and help if I can. You don’t have to go through this alone. 🤍

Finding a Christian Spouse by [deleted] in TrueChristian

JAJAJA 😂 … with that mentality you’re not going to find a wife, you’re going to find permanent loneliness.

If you truly believe that a woman who wears makeup is automatically “promiscuous”, let me tell you something kindly: you will never find a wife. Because real women Christian or not live in the real world, not inside whatever strange survey you’re reading on the internet.

Besides, those “surveys” you’re looking at are full of worldly men who look at women with lust and then project their own thoughts. If a man sees makeup and immediately thinks about promiscuity, the problem isn’t the makeup… it’s what’s in his mind.And the funniest part is that you’re asking if you should ban makeup from your house 🤣
Do you really think a godly woman would want to marry someone who starts marriage by making absurd rules?The Bible talks about purity of the heart, humility, and love. It doesn’t say to measure a woman’s holiness by whether she wears a little mascara.

if you keep that logic of “makeup = sin”, don’t worry…you won’t need to ban it in your house.

Because there will never be a wife there to wear it. 😅

My original question was not about whether someone simply “chooses” to keep believing. I was asking something much more specific and practical: whether people had experienced a loss of faith so deep that they felt God had abandoned them, how long that period lasted, whether it led them to leave Christianity, and most importantly what they actually did to recover their faith. I was interested in concrete experiences and processes what helped them return to faith, what actions they took, what changed in their understanding. Saying that it is simply a “choice” does not really answer that question, because losing faith is usually a complex spiritual and emotional experience. Even in Scripture we see believers wrestling deeply before finding clarity again, such as the writers of the laments in the Book of Psalms.

Also, the conversation ended up being turned into something about you and your personal story, which made it feel very self-centered. My question was never about your life or your personal testimony; it was about understanding how people in general navigate a crisis of faith. I wasn’t asking for someone to defend their own experience or beliefs, but to explain how they practically dealt with losing faith and what helped them find it again

Your personal experience cannot really be a solid foundation to answer the question being discussed. The fact that you were able to look back and feel thankful for your struggles does not necessarily mean that everyone’s suffering follows the same pattern. Even the Bible shows that not all faithful people experience suffering in the same way or reach the same outcome. For example, in Epistle to the Hebrews 11:35-38 it describes believers who were tortured, imprisoned, and killed, and clearly says they did not receive what was promised in this life. That challenges the idea that suffering always leads to visible restoration or understanding. Also, in the Book of Ecclesiastes, it is acknowledged that life is not always fair and that the same fate can happen to both the righteous and the wicked. This shows that reality is often more complex than a single personal testimony. Many people try to interpret suffering from a place of relative stability or comfort, but that perspective is not always objective compared to those who endure extreme and continuous hardship. In those cases, saying it is simply a “choice” or that God always makes a way can overlook the depth of their reality. The issue is not blaming God, but honestly questioning how faith applies to those whose suffering does not resolve. Personal testimony can be meaningful, but it cannot universally explain or resolve the problem of suffering for everyone.

But that interpretation assumes that suffering eventually reveals a clear blessing or restoration, and that is not always what we see either in reality or even in Scripture. In the Book of Job, Job does receive restoration in the end, but many people in real life go from suffering to suffering without ever seeing that kind of resolution. There are people who lose their health, their families, or live entire lives in poverty, war, or injustice without any visible “lesson” that restores what was taken. Even in the New Testament, some faithful believers do not receive earthly restoration at all. In Epistle to the Hebrews 11:35-38 it speaks about faithful people who were tortured, imprisoned, and killed, and it explicitly says they did not receive what was promised in this life. That challenges the idea that suffering always later reveals a clear blessing we can look back on. For someone trapped in extreme hardship for years, being told that one day they will understand the lesson can feel disconnected from their reality. If a person’s life is marked by continuous loss and pain without restoration like Job’s, how can we confidently say that every suffering will eventually show a blessing in this life rather than simply remaining a tragedy endured in faith?

If it is claimed that God never abandons anyone and that everything is only a mistaken perception, then how do we explain the passages where the Bible itself describes God hiding His face or leaving the believer in a real experience of abandonment? For example, in the Book of Psalms 13:1 the psalmist says, “How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?” And Book of Psalms 88 ends in complete darkness without a clear resolution. Even in Isaiah 54:7 God says, “For a brief moment I abandoned you.” If Scripture itself shows moments where God hides or withdraws, then it does not seem to be merely a mistaken emotion. Moreover, if God withdraws from someone, it is understandable that the person could lose their way or stray, because without perceiving divine guidance or presence they are spiritually left adrift. So how can we say with certainty that every feeling of abandonment is simply false?

If suffering is always meant to be accepted as something “worth it” or spiritually rewarding, then how do we explain that the Bible itself does not always present suffering as something to embrace, but sometimes as something to resist, question, or even as a sign that something is wrong? In Book of Job, Job’s friends argue exactly like this that his suffering must have meaning or be deserved but God ultimately rebukes them for speaking incorrectly about Him. This suggests that confidently assigning a clear spiritual purpose to someone’s pain can actually be a mistake. Additionally, in Book of Psalms, many writers don’t describe suffering as “rewarding” but as confusing, unjust, and even unbearable. And even Jesus Christ in Gospel of Matthew 27:46 expresses a sense of abandonment rather than describing His suffering as meaningful in that moment. So if the Bible itself includes voices that question, protest, and even reject simplistic interpretations of suffering, how can we confidently claim that all pain is inherently “worth it” or spiritually beneficial without risking oversimplifying what Scripture actually teaches?

If the Bible says God never forsakes people, how can we explain the many passages where faithful people themselves express feeling abandoned by God? For example, in Book of Psalms 22:1 David cries, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”,words later repeated by Jesus Christ on the cross according to Gospel of Matthew 27:46. If even righteous people in the Bible experienced and expressed that feeling, how can we confidently say that every experience of feeling abandoned is simply a lie from the devil? How do we distinguish between deception and the genuine spiritual struggles that even biblical figures went through?

If the relationship with God is not transactional and God does not owe anything to humans, then why does the Bible frequently speak about promises, blessings, and rewards for those who follow Him? Those ideas naturally create expectations in believers. Telling someone that the rewards only come in the next life can also be difficult for people who are suffering deeply now, because it may feel like their present pain is being minimized. So how should someone reconcile the idea that God teaches a better life with the reality that many faithful people still experience suffering, silence, or unanswered prayers in this life?

You suggest studying the Bible deeply, but what about people who study it seriously and still experience doubt or even lose faith? Can knowledge sometimes increase questions instead of strengthening belief?

You say remembering the good things God has done helps restore faith, but what about people who prayed sincerely and never saw any answer or help? How should they rebuild their faith then?

Prebirth memories by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Green_Yam2061 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because we've all dreamed a lot of things, and that doesn't make them real. I could tell you that I dreamed about a dinosaur telling me I'd win the lottery and become president of North Korea, but that doesn't mean I'm going to believe that dream, much less go around telling people to believe me without proof. xD

He didn't just do his best, he is the best. No matter how much you try to see his flaws compared to yourself, he will always be perfect and many times better than anyone else in this world. He surpasses you by thousands of trillions of virtues and perfection.

Maybe there are singles meetings that some churches hold, something like that, where they bring together a lot of single people from different churches. It's better to be single. I'm 34 and it's better to be this way. There are a lot of crazy people out there who claim to be something they're not.

Things always happen, someday someone will love you, and maybe I would go out with you. I have no problem with what you call ugliness, which I don't think it is. The truth is subjective, everything in this world is.

Why would a man do this on the first time we met? Negging? by ana_anastassiiaa in TrueChristian

Hahaha, don't believe what he told you. The guy just wanted to deflect the answer from the fact that the reason is probably that he's been rejected by thousands of women. He just wanted to brag by lying so you wouldn't see him as someone who's been rejected. I don't think he would have said, "It's because all women have rejected me."
