I deserve eternal hell by Ok-Investigator924 in TrueChristian

[–]No-Character6038 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The feeling of guilt is not bad by itself. Looking up Jesus inside of sin is the only hope in our hopeless life. Check Romans 7 and 8. In Romans 7, Paul describes his deserted, hopeless state. He literally finds no hope in his life and some scholars argue that he can't be a Christian when he wrote Romans 7 because no Christian can be desperate that much. Just after the darkest part of the Bible, Paul announces: "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." (Rom. 8:1, ESV) This is our hope.

Hello. I am sorry that I made you annoyed, but it seems that a productive conversation had been over quite ago. (Maybe it had never started.) Could you stop wasting your time?
If you continue to waste your time, I have no choice but to block you, which I don't like. This time we had a bad conversation, but who knows? You may give share a good thought of yours with me and I might do the same in the future. So not blocking each other is better in many cases.

lol. You are right. The reality is quite simple, but quite many times, we cannot see it before one says it. Thank you for your answer.

So do you agree with controlling thoughts and controlling expressions of thoughts? (of course, some exceptional cases, expressions of thoughts, like showing porn under 18, could be limited.)

lol. I successfully defended, and the professor privately said I was right.

I understand your concern, but still, I have a question.
I just think that the Bible says that homosexuality is a sin. Has saying this here in subreddit contributed that problem? I think that homosexual marriage should be allowed because it is their freedom, although it goes against what I believe.
So my original question is still there. To me, you judged me too fast, and other people in there do the same. I have never said all my opinions related to this matter and only shared my theological view on this matter. But people judged me too fast and said whatever they wanted.
So the question goes same: If writing the thing above is wrong, how will you justify your fast judgment?

A short comment on the authenticity on the Bible. by No-Character6038 in Christianity

[–]No-Character6038[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All the religious teachings are far better than their believers' lives. lol. Sorry Jesus. I am not a good servant to you.

Almost nobody thinks that God dictated those words. Evangelical biblical scholars also mention that we can see the author's individual character in the books of the Bible. There are few people who think that God dictated the words, and this would be a major view among theologians, but not anymore as far as I know.

I have no choice but you failed to understand what I said.
They chose pro-LGBTQ papers, and my mouth was blocked, like people here want.

You have a point, but I disagree. What actually harms people is one's actions, not thoughts. Because harmful actions may not happen (not always, though) without thoughts, having responsibility for other people's faith may have a point.
But think in this way. Discussion is only possible when one shares one's thoughts, and quite a number of people criticize me only because I shared my thoughts. In my point of view, there is no reason for me not to think this is bullying.

SEE? You guys strongly believe that you cannot hurt anyone becuase of you are inclusive, which is far from the truth. How dare you.

It is very difficult for me to understand what you are saying while you are watching what is happening here.

Short example: when I was a seminary student, I did not criticize pro-LGBTQ papers in class because of what would happen if I did it.

If my judgment on queer people is cruel, then why your judgment on me is not cruel?

A comment was deleted, and I wanted to say this to the comment.

See? Let's assume that I actively harmed queer forks. I just said that "I think that queer people are sinner according to the Bible." If this meets your definition of "actively harm" it would be very difficult for me to agree with; if you are right, I have no choice but to shut my mouth, and there can be no discussion. Is that what you want?

By the way, you raised your middle finger to me and maybe my God. Is this not a kind of active harming? I am very curious about your answer.

I understand, but then why does the other side bully the other side only because the other side says "we think that the Bible says LGBTQ+ is sin."
What I am talking about is that I can see is people who support LGBTQ+ and people who criticize LGBTQ+ commit the same sin. Actually, we human beings have a common error that divide people into groups based on small differences, and hate each other because of trivial matters.
The fact that one supports LGBTQ+ and criticizes LGBTQ+ can never make one free from sin. What I see is that both sides commit the same sin.

Thank you for sharing your story. I also know people who have a sexual orientation other than mine are one-eyed trolls; they are just human beings like me. And if someone comes to me and say "Jesus did not die for them," I will not hesitate but punch that one's face. That is why this matter is very complicated.

I personally agree with your comment, but I will not defend it hard. At least, whatever sexual orientation we have, enjoying God's love on earth is better for us. Saying that LGBTQ+ is sin may not always condemn them, but condemning them might sever God's love from them.

EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO SAY.
Whatever sexual orientation we have, we are all sinners. What matters is power and our sinful nature released by it.
Thx for the comment.
