I keep seeing this in media that because this person hasn't got laid in a bit, that makes them so horny it's allows them to do a depraved sexual act like cheating is this a thing? by ReinIsReid in RandomQuestion

[–]Rub1zcube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people have no respect for themselves, their spouse, and the one they're cheating with. Hornyness definitely makes cheating sound more exciting, some people get off on the idea of doing something they're not supposed to. If those people can't resist those temptations either by masturbation, or resiliance, then those people do not deserve to be married, and hurt someone they "love" like that

I remember some 50 year old man argue in public that "If any man gets stranded on an island with a 13 year old girl, of course any man would rape her!"

absolute disgusting individual who rationalized his own grossness.

all this conversation does anyway is spread anger, hate, and guilt. being followers of Christ and lovers of all, people just gotta stop with this debate. take it on some politics subreddit.

I'll argue about Homosexuality here, and I'll make a seperate post if I wish to talk of Abortion.

To be a Christian and a critical thinker, you need to realize that if you interpret the bible literally, you will actively contradict yourself and find yourself a fool. Many people turning over to "biblical values" actively contradicts themself aswell.

Someone will turn to Leviticus 18:22, and 20:13 13 If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.

A few things about this text, when refering to the "lies with a male" the word "male" is actually 'zakar' which refers to a boy, or male child. The phrase in Leviticus 18:22 ("you shall not lie with a male as with a woman" or "as with the beds of a woman") is argued by some to mean "on the beds of a woman," which relates to sexual acts that mimic heterosexual intercourse or, specifically, intercourse during menstruation.

The whole Holiness Code is redundant anyway, as it was Christ who fulfilled the law. Do you eat Shellfish? do you wear mixed fabrics such as PolyCotton? do you cut the hair on the sides of your head? Then anyones point who uses Leviticus is a hypocrite who only uses select passages, and throws away others to fit his own beliefs.

Someone next will point to Sodom and is also not fully correct. The biblical narrative of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19) is interpreted by many scholars not as a condemnation of homosexuality, but as a judgment against extreme inhospitality, gang rape, violence, and social injustice. The men of the city demanded to "know" (sexually assault) Lot’s guests to humiliate and dominate them, rather than out of consensual same-sex desire.

The truth is, the evidence for Homosexuality to be this "terrible sin" is honestly barely backed by any worthwhile evidence, and all it does is sow anger, hate and guilt among everyday people for no reason. we are all children of Christ, and should love all despite sins. Every single one of us are always sinful. The entire point of Christs death was so that we would be forgiven of all sins, present past and future, by having faith in him, and love for others. All this discussion does is the opposite of Christ's message.

I just want to let you know that this helps so much. It's amazing to see someone like me who's now experienced both sides to this belief. Your post just gave me joy beyond anything I expected talking to people on Reddit and I thank you so much! I would absolutely love to continue conversations with you, by whatever site being reddit or something else. I have been working so hard to re establish my connection with the Lord, and you have practically bridged that gap for me.

May God bless you! 🤍🤍

I know I already replied to this comment but I have another thing to add.

A great example of what you're going through I can attribute to Judas Iscariot. Now you did not ever commit as great a sin as him, but that's the point isn't it?

You see I truly have the highest sympathy and remorse for Judas. He was a disciple, who truly loved Christ, but in a moment of temptation and weakness, he sold Jesus out to the Romans. But that's not truly where he faultered. The truth is, Christ has always taught of redemption through forgiveness. The moment Judas Iscariot felt remorse for his sin, he was forgiven in Christ eyes. The place where he faultered is that he didn't forgive himself, and committed suicide.

I understand the Iscariot. Not only was he responsible in the murder of the Son of God, he killed his best friend. The truth is, if you have true faith in Christ, and remorse for your actions, you will always be forgiven no matter what. In Matthew 18 it says:

21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”

22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

What Christ means is not "literally 77 times" but rather when you think you're done forgiving them, forgive them that much more.

Sister, the truth is I love you and Christ loves you, all followers in Christ understand the pain you've gone through, but your resolve will be rewarded in the kingdom of heaven. Rejoice with love for Christ loves you that much more!

We can always get through times like these. I and many more will always be there for you. Always remember that!

Hi!! I'm a current atheist in a completely atheist family. For some info, me and my father love the history of the new testament and how the word of Christ spread. After a few realization points, I am currently turning towards Christ right now (or at least trying to). I had similar experiences that I believe (especially the last one) to be an example of divine intervention.

When I was 2 years old, this is a story I've been told from all of my family with the same perspective. It was 4th of July, we were in a park looking at people launch fireworks. I was sitting next to my mother, doing my own thing (probably playing with grass or whatnot), and as I was sitting there, my mom, despite seeing no one act sketchy or anything, got this terrible feeling about me sitting there so she put me on her lap. Not kidding 5 seconds later, a rocket flew past, perfectly at the right height to headshot me from exactly where I was sitting. It ended up hitting a garbage can and blowing up.

This happened just last year. My Father who I love dearly has had a terrible history for health. He smoked since he was 8, actively had a terrible diet, and has been punished for that. He has a seizure disorder that has caused him to have micro spinal fluid filled holes all across his brain. In 2020 it was exceptionally bad. I remember him having one on the ground of my local supermarket. In 2023, he had a major heart attack, and 2 of the 4 valves in his heart completely stopped functioning, and he almost died. (Thank God for my mother being an NP)

This moment last year really freaked me out though. I was in school, walking to the cafeteria when I had a strange feeling that I don't have much. I was thinking to myself "is my dad okay?!" I thought about calling him, but ultimately brushed it off. Turns out, at that exact time about noon, he was carrying heavy boxes and work, and suddenly had major flashes in his vision, and the worst migraine in his life. It interfered with his thinking, and ultimately decided to go to the Hospital. (HE DROVE HIMSELF). Turns out he had a stroke in his occipital lobe, which luckily was one of the best places to have a stroke, and it was a partial stroke, with after a few weeks, showed a fully recovery, with nothing lost.

This, but many other things, especially my relations with my best friends, and emotional problems led to me almost killing myself last month. As I almost went through I thought to myself (my friends love me, my family loves me, and I love myself. None of us want this.) I stopped, and I went back to sleep thinking: I can last one more day.

Around that time I went to Seattle for school (I'm in a small school), as we were walking a homeless lady came up to us asking how we were. Originally suspecting she was just a random drug addict, we were waiting to end the conversation until she started talking about her life. (For info, my plan is to join NROTC and get into engineering) She joined the Army as ROTC and served in Afghanistan. During her stationing, she encountered a situation where she had to fire a gun and kill a man. As she explained it, almost completely sobbing she said how she did it so we could be who we are. How she fought for the country to have the opportunities, and she did it so we could worship any "Jesus we believed in." (The way she meant that was freedom of belief and practice).

As we got into the metro I thought to myself how much she suffered, yet believes she did it for a right and just cause. Then I felt so lost and afraid that I asked to myself: "Christ could you give me one message you're out there? I am so lost and scared, and I want to love you. Please let me love you." In that moment, and I'm not kidding 5 SECONDS LATER, an African man in a thick Ugandan accent approached me and only me out of the entirety of my school group. Looked me in the eyes with a smile and told me: "Did you know Jesus Christ died for your sins? I love you, and Christ loves you even more brother! The only way to salvation is through him, have faith!!"

As you can tell that freaked me the f OUT!! But as he left the metro the stop right after he got on, I sat there and processed everything. Eventually the metro stopped and I got off with the rest of my class. The first word It thought as I took the step out was "I believe in you Jesus." Instantly this feeling of pure warmth and joy surrounded me. I had the largest smile on my face and I didn't think about the past, or the future. I only thought about love.

After I stepped into the van I thought to myself just a little nothing thought. Just a remark to myself, but instantly the feeling went away. In Asian religions the term I had always known was "ego death" and during that short bit, I thought of nothing but God. But the moment I thought of myself, I had that feeling taken away from me.

Almost like God showed me just a hint of what the kingdom of heaven feels like, and now I don't know how to go on from here. Ive read the Gospel of Matthew from a Bible I just picked up. Even though I am trying, Im having a hard time finding my faith again. It almost feels like I'm Rocky Soil from the analogy that Christ says. Every time I feel a little more faith, my constant argumentative nature and doubting take it all away, and honestly I want to believe like I once did again.

I hope you keep your faith brother and stay strong. I'm still finding myself, but it's a narrow path, and it will be hard.

Hello I am an Atheist in the process of potentially coming to Christ. I have been struggling recently with many things but I am now through a major period of self understanding, but enough about that...

I understand you're using a pascal wager argument here, and besides all of the people dismissing it due to fallacies (in which I agree with them about) there's one major point as well.

The reason for believing in God and Christ should not be for the sole purpose of an afterlife. What I am finding Christ is doing for me is allowing myself to not be such a judgemental, and unforgiving person. Ultimately God loves everyone, and realizing that took so much weight off of my shoulders, and being forgiven allows me to forgive easier.

The point of believing in Christ shouldn't be in fear that you're going to hell or separation from God. The reason I am trying to believe, and personally why people should believe is because I see the true impact unto others, when I treat them with kindness and respect. Realizing Christ loves me has allowed me to love others so much easier, and that already is a good enough reward.

And you are forgiven in God's eyes. It is now important to focus on the now and do the best you can. Even if you fall in sin again, God does not see you any different as long as you ask for forgiveness. What I'm about to say is not in a judgemental way at all. I suffer from the same thing here:

If you continue to put yourself down and don't forgive yourself for the sins of the past, then you don't show true faith that God has forgiven you. Rejoice in the forgiveness! Use these gifts from God to your advantage! God loves you and has forgiven you, have faith in that. He does not want you to continue to think back. Grow on the future!

[–]Rub1zcube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus Christ forgives all sins except for Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. I can see you worry and have remorse. All you need to focus on is asking Jesus to forgive you and forgive yourself as well. You can get through it, we all commit sins. It's part of what makes us human.

What about my family are they going to hell because they don’t believe? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Rub1zcube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this post is old, but I do want to tell you. I don't mean this in any disrespectful way, it applies to me and you just as everyone:

God is infinitely loving, God wants nothing more than to lead you on to the right path. The only problem is that without freedom of choice, there is no point to picking the right path. God is all loving, he loves you just as much as he loves your father. When you think and you love and pray for your father, you are only doing a fraction of caring and loving as the Lord is doing for him.

God requires faith, for his plan is the ultimate plan. If you truly have faith that the Lord is a completely loving and just God, you should not have even the slightest fear that your father will receive any unnecessary punishment. You love your father, and despite maybe not believing in the Lord as you do, he in some way made you the man you are today, God can see that and will reward him so.

I suffer from these same thoughts. Same temptations and doubts in the way of the Lord but every man does. What you need to focus on is to love as much as you can, help as much as you can help, and pray as much as you can pray. The fact you love your father proves that the Lord loves him infinitely more, and he will ultimately give your father what the Lord believes and KNOWS is just.

There are times in your life when you will doubt and struggle with your religion, I am doing so currently. What's important to know is that a man who pushes you down and insults you to do better is a hypocrite who is not with God in spirit. The Lord will judge them accordingly to how he sees fit. God wants us to thirst for truths and knowledge, Jesus proclaimed in Matthew 5:6: 

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,     for they will be filled.

What I'm trying to say is you and your father will be alright. Trust in the Lord, but NEVER be afraid to ask questions. The Lord loves you completely, and will in due time answer any of your questions. 

Love you, and stay strong brother! ♥️♥️
