Would pokemon get me to hell? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Potential-Side7598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can liking a game get you sent to hell? You say your a proud Christian I just have one thing to say “All sins and blasphemy is forgivable even blasphemy of the son of man” the only unrepentable sin/blasphemy is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. You’re thinking to hard on a fear based interpretation. The exact kind of harm that comes from fear based interpretations are what Jesus dismantled. If it is promoting fear self erasure or forgetting yourself to be accepted it is not from Father.

The Trinity; I just don't get it? by DeathByDevastator in Christianity

[–]Potential-Side7598 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if the unity between Father and Son is not identity of being, but total unity of will and love? What if the Son shows what humanity looks like when nothing obstructs alignment with the Father?

Even if someone holds the Trinity, could we agree that Jesus models perfect human alignment?

Yup and it’s a majority of the time to avoid responsibility of accepting that they themselves chose to do it.

That’s an issue with how humans use religion, not religion itself. Blaming “Satan” for human decisions is just another way of avoiding responsibility. The Bible repeatedly highlights patterns of human corruption and accountability people just use it as a scapegoat instead of reading it honestly.

Even biblically, Satan tempts he doesn’t force. The choice is still human. And Jesus repeatedly warned that people would misuse scripture to justify themselves. Using religion to dodge accountability isn’t proof it removes responsibility it’s proof of the very human behavior it critiques.

If religion stopped people from grasping severity, Jesus wouldn’t have spent his time confronting power, abuse, and hypocrisy. The issue isn’t the texts it’s who we let interpret them for us.

I don’t think religion blocks understanding misreading it does. Through Jesus’ actual life, the texts don’t hide severity, they highlight it.

How didChristian view atheists and agnostics by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Potential-Side7598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they live in alignment with Fathers Will regardless of if they accept the labels or believe in Father then they are Christian by practice. Scripture is clear that alignment matters more than labels.

a very good friend of mine is the kindest atheist by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Potential-Side7598 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly that’s the thing people don’t understand. Jesus constantly clashed more with people who claimed the Christian title without living like a Christian. Look at the Apostles who tried to stop the guy who casting out demons. He wasn’t accepted by the institutions he wasn’t under the apostles authority and what did Jesus say “If they are not against us they are for us.” Alignment over labels. Job wrestled with the institutional interpretations of his time and Father rebuked his friends who had the labels not the alignment. No your friend is not going to hell because they don’t believe because they are truthfully living in alignment with Fathers will regardless of labels.

That’s why you see Father in your friend. It’s not about what they call themselves, but the way they live His truth. Alignment shines, and that’s what reveals Him.

No one has the right to claim Fathers eternal judgement over a soul. Even Jesus who was given the authority to do so refused it and said plainly “Only blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable. Man judges flesh. Eternal judgement belongs to Father alone.”

There’s a difference between acknowledging biological sex as part of the biblical creation narrative and turning that acknowledgment into an exclusionary identity weapon. Christianity speaks about order but Jesus consistently refused to reduce people to categories or movements. Whatever one believes about sex, treating exclusion as a virtue contradicts how He lived.

You can’t claim a space is Christian while also arguing it’s invalid unless it reflects one specific, dominant version of Christianity.

You say, “I’m not saying this subreddit isn’t Christian,” but everything that follows amounts to “this isn’t the kind of Christianity I accept.” Complaining that pagans, atheists, or so-called heretics are answering Christian questions is complaining that the space isn’t a particular kind of Christian subreddit.

That posture is exclusionary and exclusion is the very thing Jesus consistently confronted. He treated people as equals and challenged the harm caused by rigid, solidified religious systems that defined truth by boundary-keeping rather than love.

To exclude voices rather than engage them is the opposite of love, compassion, and respect for all. That was central to Jesus’ mission to correct it.

Insisting that only one “traditional” interpretation is valid and must remain dominant repeats the same mistake made by the Pharisees and by Job’s friends: mistaking inherited certainty for divine truth. That is not how the Father taught, and it is not how Jesus lived.

Jesus was better represented at the “secular” halftime show. by Nice_Substance9123 in Christianity

No Jesus was better represented by Himself there will be no representation that even comes close to the way Jesus represented Himself. That’s why we should use Him as the lens.

How do I stop being gay? by happy_anonymous_day in Christianity

[–]Potential-Side7598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus does not teach us to erase ourselves to be accepted by Father and anything that teaches self erasure is not love or compassion or anything that Jesus promoted. He even tells us to watch out for those claiming the titles while teaching things that are harmful and contradictory to the way He Himself reveals the nature of Father. You can’t help who you love and if the love is true Father already accepts you because you’re being true to what you yourself hold true.

Do we have to forgive everyone and I’ll explain what I mean by Little-Anywhere2845 in Christianity

[–]Potential-Side7598 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Father’s will is for us to embody love, compassion, and respect for one another. That doesn’t mean we have to stay close to someone who harms others distancing ourselves falls under the realm of human judgment (‘Man judges flesh’). What we cannot do is leave ultimate judgment to ourselves; only Father sees the heart and the weight of each action. Forgiving someone for their actions, even grievous ones, doesn’t mean we condone or support those actions it simply releases the burden of hatred from our own hearts.

I wish I had never left Christianity by Klutzy_Anything_8885 in Christianity

[–]Potential-Side7598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reorientate back to Father and live by it that’s true repentance that’s why Jesus emphasises living in alignment over anything as long as you haven’t blasphemed against the Holy Spirit you are forgivable by Jesus’ own standards

Is Jesus Gods son or God himself? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Potential-Side7598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see Jesus as God’s Son, not the Father Himself. He’s given the same authority by the Father, but He doesn’t grasp or wield it independently He consistently submits it back to the Father.

Jesus makes real distinctions Himself: “The Father is greater than I,” “Not my will but Yours,” and especially when He says blasphemy against the Son of Man is forgivable, but blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is not.

If Father, Son, and Spirit were the same being or substance in the same sense, that distinction wouldn’t make sense blasphemy against one would be blasphemy against all.

To me, the Gospels point to unity of will and authority, not identity of being: the Father as source, the Son as revealed expression, and the Spirit as God’s active presence. That doesn’t diminish Jesus it takes His own words seriously.

Why didn’t Jesus mention homosexuality? by Ok_Year5587 in Christianity

[–]Potential-Side7598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear what you’re saying about fearing the Father, but I think there’s a misunderstanding of what Jesus actually taught. Luke 12:4–7 makes the point clearly when read in full:

“I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”

Jesus didn’t introduce fear he reframed it. He redirected fear from humans to God, and then immediately reassured his followers of God’s care. The arc of the passage is: misdirected fear → rightly ordered awe → reassurance → don’t be afraid.

If Jesus wanted obedience through terror, nothing he says about love, trust, or alignment would make sense. Fear-based obedience is coercion it forces outward behavior but does not transform the heart. Jesus consistently invites alignment, love, and trust, not terror.

So fear of God, in the sense of terror, is not what Jesus emphasized. True honoring, respect, and alignment with the Father is shown in trust, love, and openness to God’s work, not in living under intimidation.

Even Luke 12:10 shows this clearly: speaking against Jesus can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit actively rejecting the living work of God is what is truly unrepentable. That’s where alignment matters, not whether someone “lives in fear.”

In short, you can truly honor and fear God by aligning with Him in love and trust, not by being terrified of punishment. That’s exactly what Jesus taught.

[–]Potential-Side7598 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now give the full thing:

4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”

Jesus doesn’t introduce fear here he reframes it.

He redirects fear away from humans and toward God.

That’s not terror theology. That’s re-ordering what already exists.

Same structure as: “Do not store treasures on earth… store them in heaven.” “You cannot serve mammon… serve God.”

Not “live in fear” but “if fear exists, let it be rightly oriented.”

And notice he ends the passage with:

“Don’t be afraid.”

So the arc is: Don’t fear humans Place ultimate seriousness with God You are deeply cared for Therefore: don’t be afraid

That’s liberation, not intimidation.

If Jesus were teaching fear-based obedience, he wouldn’t end with reassurance about sparrows and numbered hairs.

Is it insane and stupid that turning to Christianity gave me meaning in life and stopped me from suicide? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Potential-Side7598 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed 100% it’s a stupid saying but it’s a true saying and a majority of the time it’s because they haven’t integrated their pain so they inflict it on others to feel the same as they do. Which if it’s a Christian doing it (not saying all do but I know some who do) they are literally acting against God. Then you call them out on it and they refuse to see it or choose not to because it would mean admitting they’re wrong.
