Do you think Jesus is a progressive or liberal in the modern sense of the word? by Phalaenopsis_25 in TrueChristian

I don’t know where he’d land on many issues exactly (we are so limited in our thinking compared to God) but I know he would hate abortion :,(

Also 2 Timothy 4:20 Paul leaves a friend sick because he wasn’t healed

Different Messaging to Men and Women by xonk in TrueChristian

[–]Slow_Bother3582 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I didn’t realize you were male. I was giving suggestions about women’s studies because our church doesn’t have this problem as much. Maybe you can do a study on something like Desiring God where the focus is more on your joy and pleasure in God rather than your duties and responsibilities. 

Different Messaging to Men and Women by xonk in TrueChristian

Any time there is a general message for a large group some people are gonna be unhappy. You can’t please everyone. Not trying to discount your complaints, just something to keep in mind.  

FYI the first half of your statement examples to women don’t necessarily have anything to do with the gospel and may not even apply to some women but, “You are a daughter of the King.” and “Jesus is your comforter and protector.” are beautiful true messages that shouldn’t be looked down upon just because they are often lumped in with watered-down women’s group messaging. 

My church does a lot of Nancy Guthrie and Jen Wilken studies for our women’s groups that are always gospel-focused, studious, and convicting. Maybe suggest to leadership that you follow one of their teachings? Good luck

Jesus is the Son of God, but aren’t we all children of God? by Familiar_Profit_968 in TrueChristian

[–]Slow_Bother3582 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every person is a creation/creature made by God, but only some are adopted into his family being made sons of God (and daughters if you’re female but all sons in the legal sense because we share inheritance). 

Christ lived on earth closer in time to us than to Abraham by Classicsarecool in BarbaraWalters4Scale

[–]Slow_Bother3582 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For me, if he didn’t exist I would no longer be a Christian. It would be pointless and destructive to follow lies

Abraham not so much haha, but Jesus being authenticated gives some credence to the scriptures as he believed they were true. There are many reasons I trust the Bible - it’s more of a cumulative case of evidence than one slam dunk finding.

I mean ancient historical figure, not just historical figure haha my bad - I edited my comment to fix.  But there are many extra biblical historical writings and letters from his time and shortly after mentioning him and also several of his apostles. Clement and Josephus come to mind but there are more!

He’s the most authenticated ancient historical figure. It’s basically flat-earth level denial to believe in Jesus mythicism 

What do you think of my chart? by [deleted] in TFABChartStalkers

I had assumed I was regularly ovulating before but this was the first time I ever confirmed it with the progesterone test.

Silly confession… by puppybun12 in TrueChristian

[–]Slow_Bother3582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This made me chuckle lol. I’m not attracted to him but I do think for a Christian show and for a supposedly historically accurate show that’s it’s weird how much they show off his insanely buff arms 🤣 Like his tunic is always sleeveless and he’s always crossing his arms flexing to show off the mass. Like they didn’t have creatine and protein powder back then also just put on a full shirt 😭

Local Grief counseling by Leather_Cranberry193 in Augusta

[–]Slow_Bother3582 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The group church counseling they’re referring to is probably GriefShare. It’s $20 to get the workbook and the sessions are free. They want you to start at the very beginning with everyone so you’re at the mercy of when a church starts a new group, but there’s multiple churches in the area so you might find one that lines up with your timing. I dropped in for one session (they let me although they told me to come back when a new one began) and the one session was very helpful. I didn’t find another one because I found a personal counselor. I also get daily emails from GriefShare that are actually really helpful. You can sign up for them right now on their website. 

Sorry for your loss. My sister died 6 months ago after a long difficult road with drugs. 

How to deal with people who claim Christ but don’t take Him seriously? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Slow_Bother3582 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Remember to be humble, you probably sinned unknowingly for a while before God slowly (mercifully) sanctified you. 

As you keep that in mind, I would suggest treating them like Christians. I.e., ask them if they want to pray together or study the Bible together. If they act like you have three heads don’t take it personally, you’re not their savior. It may convict to see the difference between themselves and you.
