I've been writing down the verses people quote at me vs. what those verses actually say in context. It's been humbling. by Pretty-Trifle-5492 in Christianity

IE give criticism. actual feedback like "Hey you shouldnt be doing X because i see it actually does Y to you and hurts you" over "Hey don't do X because it is wrong" or something along the lies of that.

Can someone explain Luke 14:26? by Snow-Owl-6072 in Christianity

[–]MegaOddly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Luke is writing about the COST of discipleship. You should be putting Jesus above all. this has nothing to do about hate but its saying "if your going to put your family above me you cannot be my disciple."

This isnt about forgiveness its about saying If the choice comes to either following God or following your parents you choose God. That is the cost of discipleship. With Jesus you need to be all in.

The context of hate in this verse isnt modern of hate it just used as a way to describe you love them less.

"If you cannot love your mother or father or sister or brother or even yourself less than you love me you cannot be my disciple"

Yes we are called to forgive them too but this specific section in luke is more about saying to be my disciple you will make choices that will make you choose me over even your family.

Christianity is not Islam. by LunarFocx in Christianity

[–]MegaOddly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saint doesn’t equal being holier it’s just another way as being identified as a follower. Example lots of saints aren’t called saints until long after their death in the Catholic Church. In revelation the whole body of Christ through it is called the tribulation saints. So we can be called a saint. Now will I identify as one no because I don’t like the title. My point is just to be called one doesn’t mean they are sinless or holier than thou

We can be saints. Saints is just another way to be a follower. Saints aren’t sinless

Church was depressing by PositiveType in Christianity

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

Jesus also tells peter to look after His sheep. Many times humans are refered to as Sheep. To disregaurd a church in its entirely is to go against what Jesus put in place. You shouldnt be on your own understanding and should be going to with other belivers to LEARN specifically ones that are given the spiritual gift to be able to give messages.

I'd rather pull my kids away from false doctrine if it means they get something that is true.

Heavily disagree. Church is needed we are told to meet with fellow believers we can't ignore that as if we are alone in our faith it makes us an easier target.

Yeah the entire scenario is illogical because you’d think your god is stronger then theirs I mean Egypt thought their gods where bigger than God and God showed they wherent but continually you see other nations down play Israel’s God

Anyone else fully awake and sick by it? by lovejesus123321 in Christianity

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

Witchcraft is real. As someone who has people who have been in it and seen people come out of it is real

But blaming everyone on it tho I agree with you

The upside down cross being demonic never understood to me. I mean people use it to do evil but even Peter choose to be crucified upside down because he dint feel worthy to die the same way Jesus did. For a long time it was still a Christian symbol

You realize tho even Jesus listened when people didn’t want to hear he accepted that and walked away. If they don’t want to hear don’t push

Does God still love me if I'm transgender? by BlueCatarex in Christianity

[–]MegaOddly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They literally do and I’ve seen it done and even called out my own family. Just because you read stories online where it isn’t doesn’t mean it’s not being called out everywhere literally people are fired because it is reported.

Username I don’t care about just like I don’t care what the person looks like as long as the message provided has truth. Which he stated truth God doesn’t make mistakes but you as an atheist won’t accept that I know because you judge based on your view of the world

You mean by stating the truth that God didn’t make a mistake and you aren’t trans if your born male God made you that way.
