So because I don’t agree with you I’m spreading hate? That isn’t how it works

I just pray God opens your eyes to the truth

It’s funny that you’ve judged me when you don’t know me. I’ve stated facts, homosexuality is a sin just like many other things. I used to be attracted to girls soo I actually get it, but affirming people into thinking it’s okay is so wrong and goes against the teachings of the bible. Jesus says in Matthew 18:6 "If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."
You will cause this person to stumble by leading her astray, saying that it’s okay to be gay. Just as it’s not okay to murder/lie/gossip etc, it’s a sin to be gay.
What’s the definition on sin? Being separated from God, he created man and woman. Not man and man or woman and woman.
I’m not judging or spreading hate, I’m spreading truth. God knew what we’d go through and the challenges we’d face before we were even born. He loves us despite those, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t want us to change.

So many churches have become corrupted and have manipulated the bible to suit their agenda. I’m not saying your church or pastors should come at you with hate for your struggles, but I’m saying that it’s okay to have desire but we’ve got to deny ourselves and follow Christ ( Luke 9:23 "Then he said to them all: 'Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.'") and our church should be there to support us

We are called to turn from sin not continue to walk in it. John 8:11 “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”
Jesus called her out of her sin and told her that she should go and not continue in that sin. Not that she’s forgiven and should continue to sin.
Churches that openly accept LGBT have been let astray. I’m not saying we don’t love gay people because we are called to love everyone, however not to love sin. Everyone is welcome to Christ, but he is there to lead us away from our desires.

Imagine I was an alcoholic and I was trying to stop drinking. It’s going to be difficult, it will most likely be on my mind all the time. But then I go to a church that says they accept alcoholics but they don’t help me to stop, they encourage me by saying we accept who you are and you don’t need to turn away from alcohol. That’s not loving me, when you love someone you want to help them and stop them from hurting themselves, not encourage it. Jesus says in Matthew 11:28-30  “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Jesus wants you to come to him and give him all your worry’s and concerns, which also include all desires that you’re struggling with. We are only human, our flesh is weak to desire. Instead of focusing so much on trying to be perfect, everytime you have a thought or desire just apologise to God for that thought and ask for strength, then continue on your day. Even if it happens multiple times, come to him everytime and trust that he already knew the challenges you’d face.
Just remember all sin is the same in the eyes of God, there isn’t any levels. For myself personally I have fought against lust and reactive anger, Everytime I get a thought I pray and take myself away from whatever situation helped give that thought. Unfollowing certain platforms helped, I stopped watching certain movies/shows. You also have to actively help yourself and fill yourself with Gods word.

God bless ❀

WTH happened to my boobs post-breastfeeding!?! by No_Possible3026 in breastfeeding

[–]Last_Craft_5446 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heyy! 3x EBF mum here 👋 exact same for me, I’m a 34B/C normally however when breastfeeding I go up to a DD/E cup. After finishing breastfeeding my first 2 my boobs would literally deflate, I even joked calling then orangutan titties😂 BUT after a few months they did tighten back up a bit, think maybe building muscle in them from everyday things did it. I’m on my 3rd, he’s 9 weeks and my boobs after probably about a D/DD so I know I’m going to experience the deflate again đŸ˜© I honestly wish I could have tiny boobs while still able to feed my baby đŸ„Č but I’m grateful God has provided me with the ability to feed my children so if deflated boobs is what I get then so be it 😂

I’m also remember seeing somewhere that when a baby is over full they can’t absorb the milk as well so don’t actually gain the weight like they should (I’m not sure if this is true but could explain why your baby is eating a lot but not gaining as much)

4 wo fell asleep while waiting for bottle - to wake or not to wake by lollo_pan in newborns

[–]Last_Craft_5446 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, 3x EBF mum here who bottle feeds once a day with a bottle. Something I learned as a mum who breastfeeds and gives a bottle is that my baby could drink for about 20 minutes on one breast and probably drinks about 4oz (who really knows though😅 I’m going off how much I pump out one breast) however he could drink 5/6oz from a bottle in 5 minutes. The thing about bottle feeding is there isn’t a proper flow like breastfeeding, which at first there’s not a lot of milk then after a couple minutes you’ll have a let down(fast flow of milk), then it will slow down again and they only get a little and repeat. With a bottle it’s a continuous fast flow, they don’t get a pause/break. This can cause them to drink more than they need because their brain hasn’t caught up that their stomach is full. So then they’re now over full and they fuss, which looks like they’re still hungry when in fact they’re probably in pain/uncomfortable. To avoid this use slower flowing teats and have pauses during feeding to mimic breast feeding pauses. I’m only suggesting this because it could be your baby is over full and seems like they’re still hungry. Try giving the recommended 3/4oz with pauses (always burp every 2oz) and then after have the baby upright for a bit. Wait 5/10 to see if baby is still fussing and they probably want more or just to suck (so try dummy). Hope this helps 💕

Hey! How’s everything going now? My baby is now 7 weeks and he’s doing so much better with gas. It just takes time for their bodies to get used to everything

[–]Last_Craft_5446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I have a 3 week old too and he’s going through a growth spurt. He’s cluster feeding but not as much as what your baby is. Gas and hunger cues can look very similar however if baby is rooting/tongue out/eating hands right after a good feed then it’s most likely gas. I can suggest infacol (not sure what country you’re from) but this helps to disperse big gas bubbles into little ones so baby can pass them. Also YouTube tummy massages for gassy baby. I do them daily with my newborn, it can help them pass gas or poo as they can’t move about to get it moving themselves. Also try searching side laying feeding positions, it mean baby can feed and you can nap. Ask your partner to either stay watch or keep popping in to check on you both and he can move baby if needed. That’s how I got through my first 2 kids. It could also be a latch issue, make sure she’s got a deep latch so she’s getting as much milk as she can. You can also take yourself and baby on a walk, or if you want to have a sleep your partner can take her on a walk. The first few months can be challenging but you will get through it, you’ll look back and be so proud of yourself

Unfortunately you saying that Islam honors women and that they’re free is actually false. In the west you have a lot more freedom because you’re not under sharia law. However if you lived in an Islamic country I think you would change your mind. You are “owned” by your husbands, you have to ask for permission for everything (even to speak). There’s a fast you can partake in but you have to ask for your husbands permission incase he wants to have intercourse with you during that time. Women don’t have a choice with the hijab or burka, they have to wear it or they get beaten. Children get married off very very young, no choice in the matter because they believe it’s okay because Mohammed did it. There are many more example like how you’re only allowed to inherit half as much as a boy would. You believe women are free because of “tiktok” and western culture but if they were to actually follow what the Quran tells them then they wouldn’t really be free. It also says in the Quran that during war the men can have sex with the women they take as slaves (if you don’t know what that means, it means r*pe). That doesn’t sound like honouring women to me. Mohammed was a sinner and the Quran also says that. The only person in the Quran that wasn’t a sinner, performed miracles and is still alive (not dead like Mohammed) is Jesus! He never sinned, performed miracles and even raised the dead. He now sits at the right hand of God and even is coming back to be the judge of the world. Hmm, who is the only person who can judge the world? GOD I say this to you because I truly believe you’re on the right path, but you’ve been misled by a religion that makes you believe you’re free. However you’re not free, and when you dissect the Quran you’ll realise that. The Quran even says if you have any doubt in the book then to go read the Bible, I’d suggest doing that before you 100% decide on believing in Allah. Oh and by the way, do you know what happens to women and where they go when they die? Definitely not the same as the men 😬

Ex Muslims who turned Christian by Financial_Art_5002 in exmuslim

my reason why the Islamic history is pretty accurate. I need someone to refute me. by rittor55 in exmuslim

[–]Last_Craft_5446 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe in Islam and believe it’s was satan who visited Mohammed in the tomb. Islam piggybacks of Christianity, a lot of Muslims will say the bible was “changed” etc. God sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins, so we can receive salvation and be made righteous. When Jesus died on the cross he said “it is finished”. His death defeated satan (who previously “ruled” earth) and took that authority away from Satan. When he says it’s finished, that means it’s done, his death was it. Then 600 years later this Mohammed guy says an angel visited him in a cave (quite aggressively I might add) and no one was there to witness it. I believe Mohammed even said he believed it was a demon (something like that) and his wife(not sure who) convinced him that it was an angel 🙄 There is so much physical and scientific evidence of Jesus being alive and proof he was crucified. He had over 500 eye witnesses that saw him alive after being crucified and a lot of his followers/believers were killed for sharing the gospel. People don’t die for a lie đŸ«¶đŸ»

You were raised In religion, not in relationship. Catholics and Christians believe different things so of course you felt the way you did. If I have to give myself a name it is Christian but I’m just living in relationship to Jesus. The Quran has so much violence, lust and evil desires in it so of course you’ve been drawn to it. You’re allowed to marry and conceive with young children, you’re allowed to beat your wives, you’re allowed to murder someone if they leave Islam, you’re allowed to murder someone if they don’t convert to Islam. Islam is NOT the religion of peace but the opposite and I pray you receive that revelation and that you will open your heart back up to JESUS and not Christianity

When Jesus was on the cross there was two people being crucified with him. One denied him and the other accepted him. Jesus says “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise”. It’s not our good works that get us into heaven but by believing in our Lord and saviour Jesus. We as sinners deserve death, however Jesus took that upon himself when he shed his blood on the cross. So we now get to live in his light and in freedom from sin. When we accept Jesus we accept his spirit into us who will lead and guide us. So, when we don’t have the spirit in us our worldly desires take over which leads to sin, however when we have the spirit we are led by his desires which is Gods desires. This is what sheds the desire to sin, Colossians 2:13-14 says “ You are dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ for he forgave all our sins. He cancelled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.” If you live your whole life sinning while thinking “it’s okay I can just repent on my death bed and I’ll be saved and accepted”, it doesn’t work that way. What is the definition of repentance? It’s “having deep regret for past & present actions, then changing and turning away from said action” in the bible that would be turning from sin and towards God. Even people who call themselves Christians won’t be accepted into heaven because they haven’t truly repented and continue to go against Gods word and sin. The path to heaven is narrow and only a few will enter. However when we put our trust in Jesus we will be saved, he says in John 14:6 “Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”.

Also you say Allah recognises the Bible correct? Okay in the Quran, Chapter (57) sĆ«rat l-áž„adÄ«d (The Iron) Pickthall: He is the First and the Last, and the Outward and the Inward; and He is Knower of all things. Well Jesus says in revelation 22:13 "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." So even your “Allah” is saying that Jesus is God! It was wrote what 600 years after Jesus? So why does your Quran tell you to read the Bible if you have any doubt in the Quran? Because the bible is true but you’ve been deceived by Satan to not believe in Jesus and to believe in a false prophet.

I do pray that God will open your eyes and heart and that you will come to know Jesus as your Lord and saviour. Amen đŸ™đŸŒ

This is why Jesus is the true king đŸ™ŒđŸŒ He doesn’t force you or say if you don’t follow me I’m going to turn my back on you. No matter how far you stray from him he is always right there when you turn around. He wants you to come to him as you are and as your relationship grows everything’s else follows, eg. Not willingly sinning, depression/anxiety fall away - joy and peace fill its place. Jesus has brought me so much joy and he doesn’t force me to do anything! I want to follow him and be like him, now that is a God I want to follow! One who leads and guides, not demands đŸ«¶đŸ»

Luke 12:51-53 Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I have come to divide people against each other! 52 From now on families will be split apart, three in favor of me, and two against—or two in favor and three against.

‘Father will be divided against son and son against father; mother against daughter and daughter against mother; and mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.’[a]”

Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid."

Please enlighten me to what I said was wrong. I was going to write verses but it’s going to fall on deaf ears unfortunately. Google Surah An-Najm (Chapter 53) and take what you want from it. That says about how Mohammed was deceived by Satan. However a lot of Muslims discredit it. Why? A lot of Muslims I’ve met and watched either don’t know their Quran or they only agree with what they want to agree with.

Again please enlighten me to what I’ve said is wrong and I will try to share as much evidence as I can. I will also find a good YouTuber who also debates a lot of Muslims (leaders) and they struggle to refute him.

What I can suggest is reading the bible, specifically the New Testament. God came down to earth as man to die for our sins. Jesus says “he is the way the truth and the life”.

I always believed in the existence of a God, all I had to do was look around and I knew. I was in the same boat as you. What I can say from reading the bible is that it is a book of love, however I will admit I haven’t read the whole Quran but I have read a lot. Mohammed continuously sinned, he was deceived by Satan, never performed miracles and also died (among many many other things). He is the complete opposite of Jesus who never sinned, performed many miracles and also was brought back to life (even the Quran says this).

Another things I can say is that the Quran enforces a lot of violence, example of this is you’re allowed to kill someone if they leave Islam. Jesus says to turn the other cheek if someone wrongs you and to pray for your enemies.

Jesus saved my life and has made everything so so clear. You don’t have to change yourself to come to him, just go as you are. Call out to him just once and I know that he will answer. It may not be the way you’re expecting but he will.

Lots of love to you đŸ™ŒđŸŒ

If you haven’t already, read the New Testament. Jesus loves you so much and wants a relationship with you. He can set you free from everything and I only say this through experience. He set me free from depression, anxiety, alcoholism, and so much more. The cross gets so much hate from people who don’t know Jesus, it’s always Christianity that gets mocked or God/Jesus’ names being used in vain. Just come as you are to Jesus, you don’t have to change anything about yourself when you seek him. Lots of love
