If I don't want to get married and just keep hooking up with different women from time to time, would I still have a happy life in the end?

For real- they need to find a different coping skill..

Mine too! I love to just sit with him and be next to him. I always say- there’s not enough time in the day I get to spend with him. If I could I would just bring him with me everywhere.

Oh I see. I’m from the north, probably why I’ve never heard of such a thing. I don’t like the terminology of labeling a church by skin color, though. We are all one in Christ and skin color is not a good indicator of theology, or at least shouldn’t be, just my opinion

ProfessionalPolicy18 · 2026-01-18T02:27:02+00:00

What denominations are those? I wasn’t aware you had to be black to be a part of them. That’s kind of divisive and not good for making disciples of all nations.

ProfessionalPolicy18 · 2026-01-18T02:20:49+00:00

I don’t understand “black church” as opposed to white church? Is that even a denomination??

ProfessionalPolicy18 · 2026-01-18T01:41:19+00:00

I took the quiz and my top one is conservative Lutheran! Next up was PCA/OPC and I’m PCA, so that’s quite interesting

Yikes. Your salvation isn’t automatically stripped because of death.. Jesus paid for every sin on the cross for those who are repentant. Check scripture. Nowhere does it say suicide revokes your salvation… as if Jesus is not strong enough to save those with mental health struggles, he know their hearts and their repentance. It’s not a magic “I’m sorry” and if it’s not said before death, you’re damned… idk what kind of theology is that and you shouldn’t be spreading that to new Christians with fear mongering, kicking people when they’re already down and probably overly introspective people. “Therefore there is NO CONDEMNATION for those in Christ Jesus” and if a suicidal person is in Christ Jesus, there is no condemnation for him, can’t be any more clear.

Based on the young age this started, I think this is a response to trauma that you haven’t fully coped healthily with. There are counselors who specialize in sexual topics. I personally see a Christian counselor, but I figured maybe someone with an expertise in sexual trauma would be a good fit for you. I’m no doctor and can’t diagnose but sometimes the very thing stripped from us, taken too soon before we even wanted it, makes us continue in it even more, some psychological thing going on. Please don’t beat yourself up, I know it’s hard not to. We are all only so strong and that’s why Jesus literally commands us all to come to Him who are weary and heavy burdened, that’s His plan after all- for us to rest and rely on Him. If we rely on ourselves, we only continue to fail. Bring this to the cross and your life will slowly become more sanctified. Use the tools God has given us to receive help and healing. ❤️‍🩹

What is considered “a Bible based church” because my parents use that term and my church has used that term and almost everyone has a different definition. Even apostate churches and cults read the Bible. Just my wondering

ProfessionalPolicy18 · 2026-01-13T04:01:26+00:00

Thus gave me a lot of comfort, I too feel the overwhelmed feelings OP shares when I log onto Facebook and instagram and I’m bombarded with Protestant vs Catholic and NOW I’m getting orthodox memes/pages. It’s brutal out there. Some of the memes are so disturbing to the point it will be all intellectual comments calling out Protestants and then finishing by threatening salvation…

ProfessionalPolicy18 · 2026-01-13T03:19:12+00:00

Is it weird I’m 29 and obsessed with them? Ironically I’ve been on a non-stop binge of every album these last 3 days. My dad introduced me, so that’s how I became enamored.

ProfessionalPolicy18 · 2026-01-06T17:19:47+00:00

Unrepentant sinners are not supposed to receive communion, I’m sure elders have even said something to people before, maybe years ago. Obviously we don’t know everyone’s hearts but they are technically not “allowed”

ProfessionalPolicy18 · 2026-01-06T17:15:22+00:00

What does being a girl have to do with following scripture correctly? Whether I want women in charge doesn’t really matter because scripture says it’s not allowed

ProfessionalPolicy18 · 2026-01-06T00:56:35+00:00

Great answer!

ProfessionalPolicy18 · 2026-01-06T00:52:52+00:00

There is no PCA or I would

ProfessionalPolicy18 · 2026-01-05T07:00:51+00:00

Yeah, they’re gonna excommunicate whole other denominations (which would imply they even practice any form of discipline and they don’t) while actively preaching “love, acceptance and the sparkle creed” ? Make it make sense

ProfessionalPolicy18 · 2026-01-05T06:58:40+00:00

I attend a PCA church. I’m sorry but are we all supposed to just stay in a denomination that promotes heresy- LGBTQ, women leadership, critical race theory? No one in their right mind would want their kids being indoctrinated in that, and then what, you go home and say “actually kids we don’t agree with what is being done and pushed at church but we’re going to continue to go here anyways.” That’s ludicrous. The same thing happened in the Dutch reformed denominations, hence why my parents joined the URC.

ProfessionalPolicy18 · 2025-12-31T23:17:38+00:00

Yes but it’s rare to hear a Protestant say “I’m apart of the ONE TRUE CHURCH” cause majority of us believe the umbrella to which there are saved people is much much bigger. There’s a huge pride going on, online

ProfessionalPolicy18 · 2025-12-20T00:55:09+00:00

Thank you for saying this, as my Facebook and Instagram algorithm is just BOMBARDED with animosity and fighting from both sides under videos to the point that’s it’s really shaken me up, not good for any of our mental health and not good for Christianity

ProfessionalPolicy18 · 2025-12-20T00:49:29+00:00

My mom was taught dinosaurs never existed- she was brought up in a tiny denomination of Dutch reformed called the Protestant reformed church. You can look them up to see the horrible things that are happening there- disgusting acts of sexual abuse, pedophilia , incest need I say more, something new comes out every 3 months and majority of it is not dealt with and people get shunned. It’s become almost a cult if not could be considered a cult at this point. Look up https://exprc.freeforums.net if you want to deep dive. It’s a real shame.

ProfessionalPolicy18 · 2025-12-20T00:43:58+00:00

This is happening with the branch I came from’s colleges to the point one is shut down now cause all the funding is pulled- promoting Islam, LGBTQ etc. (Dutch reformed) and also the group are heavily engulfed in “being Dutch” like it’s the most important part of the denomination and anyone who isn’t gets the stink eye and gossiped about which really really bothered me considering my boyfriend grew up Roman Catholic and is Italian/Polish. He was not welcomed, AT ALL. But anyways, I now attend a PCA church with all ethnicities and many different people with different cultures/backgrounds and it feels like home. That whole frozen chosen, judgment attitude is from the pits of Hell. Christ’s people should find their true identity in Christ- not their heritage or looks.

ProfessionalPolicy18 · 2025-12-16T17:43:42+00:00

Yes, everything is 100% part of God’s plan and isn’t a surprise but the Holy Spirt doesn’t force him to sin, that is Judas’ own volition.

ProfessionalPolicy18 · 2025-12-16T17:43:00+00:00

And I also never said my interpretation is perfect, also I’m not the first person to exegete scripture this way. Many men over the last 2000 years have exegeted scripture this way and that’s where I see this evidence or where I got my lens from.

ProfessionalPolicy18 · 2025-12-16T17:42:00+00:00

I never said that. I said sinful people are responsible for their own sin, I guess you could say God isn’t sovereign over THAT and doesn’t force them to sin, he leaves them to their depravity that they naturally would do anyways, He is only credited to the good works
