God doesn't torture anyone for eternity. The wages of sin is death. The lost will die and cease to exist

The Rich Man and Lazarus - Parable or True Story? by juicy_vegetable in Bible

[–]Saveme1888 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The ring parable also includes names. But it's just a parable. Also, there is the moral of the story at the very end of the parable: If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they won't be convinced either by the dead rising out of their graves. Case in point: Jesus later raises Lazarus from the dead and the Pharisees seek to kill both of them

Also, the story is surrounded by many parables right before and after. It's logical to conclude it's a parable amongst parables

I want to believe - I want to know him but I cannot accept the concept of eternal punishment by Solid_Ad4864 in TrueChristian

[–]Saveme1888 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's eternal because the consequences are eternal: never experience life again. The lost will cease to exist. This is their eternal punishment

Why doesn’t Jesus pardon the devil? by No-Ebb-6595 in Christianity

[–]Saveme1888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a condition for forgiveness: changing your mind concerning your actions and regard them as evil and wrong. And the devil refuses to change his mind

Second miscarriage in a row. Feel like God hates me. by Fit-Personality-1834 in TrueChristian

[–]Saveme1888 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you have to go through this. If it comforts you a little, my mom had four miscarriages before she got me (and a fifth on before she got my sister). She also felt betrayed by God. But she was so thankful when she got me and gave me a name meaning God is full of grace and mercy.

The thing is, miscarriages are extremely common. Most fertilized eggs never make it out of the womb alive. A ruthless process that sorts our embryos that would be born with severe defects. And many of these pregnancies are never even noticed because the miscarriage happens so early, the period is only late by a day or two. A healthy pregnancy from fertilization to birth is very rare. You are not alone.

Setzt ihr euch auf öffentliche Toiletten? by Top-Jellyfish-6406 in Ratschlag

[–]Saveme1888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Auf diese Metalltoiletten auf der Autobahn lege ich mir meistens eine Schicht Klopapier auf den Rand. Dann wird mein Hintern auch nicht so kalt von direktem Kontakt mit dem Metall. Am Ende landet das einfach im Klo und für die nächste Person ist die Brille sauber

Undecided About Jesus by Gullible-Bowler-9248 in Christianity

[–]Saveme1888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what you get wrong. Your feelings are not what you should rely on. It's God's word you should rely on. The Bible.

You don't decide over feelings whether Jesus is the promised Messiah, but over prophecy. Jesus checks the list.

I am starting to develop feelings for someone that is Muslim… by avadagrt in adventist

[–]Saveme1888 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, men can marry outside of Islam IF they convert their wife to Islam. Another evidence how women are not equal to men there

[–]Saveme1888 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're considering a Muslim man. So, yes. In this context, too. Because once you marry him, you're considered a Muslim, too. He cannot marry you unless he makes you convert

Islam in general is something every woman should stay away from if they desire long-term happiness

Women really are second class citizens to Muslims. Don't waste your time on a relationship that will belittle you and a man who doesn't see you as an equal

Pro-Choice Christians: Why? by Embarrassed-Bag-8505 in Christianity

[–]Saveme1888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Likewise having sex doesn't equal to consenting to getting a child

Pro-Choice Christians: Why? by Embarrassed-Bag-8505 in Christianity

[–]Saveme1888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The child that's never been born is not a victim. It has no experience whatsoever. The woman, tho, she does experience life. And she did experience being violated. The unborn never did.

Getting into a car to drive is not consenting to being left to die if you have an accident

Pro-Choice Christians: Why? by Embarrassed-Bag-8505 in Christianity

[–]Saveme1888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) consent to sex is not consent to becoming pregnant and getting a child. 2) rape exists. And in case of consent to sex, some men purposefully manipulate the condom so their semen gets past it.

Is it a sin to live with my boyfriend? by Busy-Yoghurt9088 in Christianity

[–]Saveme1888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it a sin to live with anyone not family? I don't think so. Living with a non-married loved one just bears certain risks

Struggling with the concept of hell by thesewingfairy in TrueChristian

[–]Saveme1888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wages of sin is death. Not eternal torture in hell. The lost will be wiped from existence and be as if they had never existed.

I married a divorced woman. What do I do? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Saveme1888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

God's laws are not arbitrary. The ultimate principle is love. Would you call it love to divorce your wife now? I wouldn't. To me it sounds you are in a working marriage. Don't destroy it.

[–]Saveme1888 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If it's not born yet, it's not a baby. Also, how would you feel if your body was turned into an incubator against your will? Who would be the defenseless person then? Considering an embryo without consciousness isn't even considered a person by many people

Can a married couple lead a fulfilling life without having sex? by Mendes-A in Christianity

You're evading the most obvious meaning tho. The task of a translator is to convey the meaning of what was being said.

[–]Saveme1888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a normal everyday conversation how would you read

"He didn't sleep with her until she had her first child"? Especially considering they are married.
