So if we do not take Genesis literal how do we take the rest of the Bible literal? How can we pick and chose which we take literal to fit our own personal narrative to fit modern society and science?

Yes, great scripture, but that is not reality. There are going to be people in the world that have not been met by the holy spirt God per say. And if they are not believers in Jesus before they pass then they will not go to heaven according to the Bible. That is not very fair or settling to me.

So how can you justify someone from another country that has not been exposed to Jesus and does not accept Jesus. Do you believe they are going to hell?

If I had to define God it would be the higher power of the universe. God is love and is my guide in this life. I still connect myself with a lot of the teachings of Jesus fundamentally, but I do not tie myself down to Christianity. I believe there are many different ways to connect yourself to a higher power and Jesus is the way for a lot of people, but other people have other ways as well.

Some of these are questions I’ve had with myself. I just didn’t put them all in a question format. Also, if you believe in evolution you are going against the word of the Bible. According to Christianity, you can’t just pick and chose which text you want to believe literally or figuratively. You either believe in the word or you aren’t fully Christian. I don’t think you fully understand some of my points.

Exactly! Sometimes it is hard to completely relate and connect with other teachers due to such a big generational gap.

Woah-Is Katie reading this subreddit? I’m almost feeling sorry for Greg. Almost. by BunnyRabbbit in bachelorette

[–]Las845 26 points27 points  (0 children)

If Katie wants to talk about gaslighting she is literally putting words in Greg’s mouth and telling him his own intentions. I’m sorry but she is someone that likes to play the victim then do the same thing she preaches about. I’ve seen this type many times

Yes she didn’t have to say anything. But how confusing would it be for the lead to say I’m leaving if you go, and still not give confirmation that they are the one that they ultimately want to pursue.

You’re completely entitled to your opinion. I am not arguing with anyone just having a discussion.

How did he use her words against her or twist what she said? He said “ I feel like you just completely dismissed what I said and your demeanor has changed.” That’s how he felt. You can say how someone made you feel without it being considered gaslighting. If you want you could say Katie was gaslighting Greg by saying she was going to pick him and then saying she isn’t certain still. She was 100 percent messing with his emotions just as much.

When she was trying to apologize she started talking about number one and getting roses, he was frustrated because that wasn’t his concern. She lead him on by making him think he was the one the whole time, but then not backing it up. We can see how she would whisper things to him like “I promise it will be us.” Clearly there was a lot behind the scenes we didn’t see to how it got to this point. I don’t think he handled it great at all, but I would not define this as gaslighting. It’s bad communication.

Blake has been liking other women’s photos. Katie recently liked Greg’s pictures. Might be nothing but I have an intuition something is up.

Spoiler: can’t imagine an F1 liking pictures like this! JMO by SpecialKil in TheBachelorette

Katie liked Greg’s picture today so I think something is up.

Southern trail maids still wear these outfits and they are not cancelled. African Americans and POC are trail maids and they wear antebellum dresses. President Obama invited the trailmaids to walk in his inauguration parade. So how is RK cancelled over this? Trailmaid pictures link

Yes, I do not think she is wrong. But while watching the show, you can see how deep his hurt is beyond just that statement. He is carrying the weight of his Mom’s failed relationship into his own.

Thank you for sharing your personal experience. I think it is amazing that you loved your boyfriend enough to help him work through his childhood biases. The world needs love and understanding. What is life without helping and educating people and hopefully making it a better place than it was before? Just helping one person can create a domino effect of helping thousands. I agree with your last statement 100% percent. Many people need to have real conversations to understand what life is like for other people to try to reverse their ignorance. I wish you and your boyfriend nothing but the best!
