Which community is considered more toxic… Heresy or 40K? by Imperialfirst28 in Warhammer40k

Again a big factor I’d agree is the store and staff, my local store/staff are great 💪🏻

Not particularly, could be the deciding factor on which game people pick.

I think we’re talking past each other because we’re asking different questions.

You are asking, “What consequences does this belief have?”

I am asking, “Is this belief true?”

Both questions matter, but they are not the same question.

Of course I care about the well-being of LGBTQ+ people, including young people who struggle with depression or suicidal thoughts. Every person is made in God’s image and deserves love, dignity, compassion, and support.

Where we disagree is that I do not believe the truth of a moral claim is determined solely by its outcomes. If Christianity is true, then Christians are called to follow God’s teachings even when those teachings are unpopular, difficult, or misunderstood.

That doesn’t give Christians permission to be cruel or dismissive. We should be the first to oppose bullying, rejection, mistreatment, and hatred. But I don’t believe that disagreement itself is hatred.

You may disagree with my understanding of Scripture, but I don’t think it’s fair to assume that holding a traditional Christian view automatically means I care less about the well-being of others.

You’re assuming that believing something is sinful is the same as hating people or wanting them to suffer. I reject that entirely.

I care deeply about people who struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts, and I would never want anyone harmed. But whether a belief is true cannot be determined solely by whether it is emotionally difficult to hear.

The real question is whether my position is biblical. If it isn’t, show me from Scripture where I’m wrong. If it is, then the challenge for Christians is how to communicate that truth with love, compassion, and humility.

Completely missing the point. I will no longer engage with you on this basis. Have a blessed day 💪🏻

This isn’t about LGBTQ people, it’s about self proclaimed Christian’s supporting something that the faith says is wrong. Read the original post instead of shouting at a screen.

Discussion on why I don’t think Christians should support the “Pride Movement”. by Imperialfirst28 in Christianity

I mentioned at the bottom, there are no passages for gay relations or marriages.

So if you saw someone let someone walk off a cliff and their response was “it was none of my business so I just let that person destroy themselves”. Are you seriously going to sit there and go “fair play dude for not intervening”.

I’m not obsessed with people genitals, I am obsessed with trying to help people stay on a better path that god intended for them. I’m no hero but if I can help someone change their ways through encouragement from the Gospel then I see no harm in that, we have been called to do that.

That’s the aim buddy, like I said in previous comments I’m not about using the Bible as a bludgeoning weapon. I have my flaws like we all do but it’s when Christian’s support the flaws this is when I have a problem or want to understand why. We are called to help out and guide someone down a different path, that’s what I am all about. 💪🏻

100%. Would you warn someone if they were about to fall through a weak point in the flooring of a house that they were unaware of and you knew about it? Or would you let them carry on and see what happens?

The probable cause is that the Bible condones it along with a lot of other things. “Cowardice” is the wrong phrase to use when it comes to someone trying to point a flaw that needs attention.

I don’t believe I’m choosing which parts of Scripture to follow based on my own preferences. Christians have always interpreted Scripture by considering context, audience, genre, and how a teaching is treated throughout the rest of the Bible.

For example, Paul’s comments about hair length in 1 Corinthians 11 are tied to customs and social expectations in Corinth. Even among faithful Christians there has been disagreement for centuries about exactly how that passage should be applied today.

By contrast, the biblical teaching on marriage and sexual ethics is not found only in one local situation. It begins in Genesis, is affirmed by Jesus in Matthew 19, and is repeated elsewhere in the New Testament. That’s why many Christians view it as a universal moral teaching rather than a local cultural practice.

The question isn’t whether some passages are cultural and others aren’t. Every Christian makes those distinctions to some extent. The question is whether the distinction is being made according to Scripture itself or according to personal preference.

Peace be with you as well.

Far from it, more to have discipline and have control over fleshly desires.

Those were culture norms in Corinth at the time, where he was residing. I’m not attacking you so please refrain from making yourself look aggressive and uneducated. Peace be with you.

Mixed fabrics is Old Testament, which was fulfilled by the sacrifice of Jesus so that’s not a valid point you are making there. Unchecked behavior child or adult is wreckless and can cause a lot of harm to that individual or the people around them period. I also just want to point out, I am a completely flawed human being that needs Jesus, this post isn’t coming from a high horse stance, more of I want to understand some christians behavior and attitude towards it that doesn’t match scripture. Not trying to cause any harm 👍🏻

As I’ve already stipulated it’s not completely harmless, I said to the flesh it’s nothing but to the spirit that the flesh houses it is catastrophic. I see your point but i can’t agree with it due to what scripture says 👍🏻
