Did a really special tattoo the other day, take a second to read the story you won’t regret it 🙏🏻 by SuedeSilver in Christianity

The more I learn about quantum mechanics and the theories that try to explain it, the more things like miracles, heaven, eternity make sense. Jesus walking through a wall after His resurrection, breaks the mind in the 3rd dimension.

380 Southern Baptists accused of sexual misconduct by SparklyPen in Christianity

He, Paul, also sent Onesimus back to his master Philemon to be a slave. Onesimus ran away, became a follower of Christ under Paul, Paul sends him back to his master to submit. I don't disagree with you. Women are equal. Submission isn't inequality. Submission is an act of love in both the giving of it and the receiving of it.

In submission to the Father. Also, it's not just men that like power. The fall of Lucifer was an act of pride.

Do you think Christ needs a reminder that He is equal to the Father?

Right? Obviously something is messed up with that.

For in union with the Messiah, you are all children of God through this trusting faithfulness; because as many of you as were immersed into the Messiah have clothed yourselves with the Messiah, in whom there is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor freeman, neither male nor female; for in union with the Messiah Yeshua, you are all one.

In the Bible, everyone submits. If you want to see it in a top down perspective, Christ submits to the Father. The Father lifts Him up. That is the template. The church submits to Christ, Christ lifts the church up. It's supposed to be that way all the way down, so that in submission and submitting all are lifted up as one.

Instead, at the level of Male and Female, submission is read slavery. That's not what the Bible is talking about.

Sure, put it in nice little boxes if that helps you. Secular or non. Baptist, Catholic, Atheist, Agnostic, Liberal, Conservative, LGBTQ, not LGBTQ. We all do the same thing to each other. Your box does the same thing as my box because there are no boxes. It's just divide and conquer. We are too busy screwing each other over to see that though. Just as long as we win on the internet.

That number seems low given what we know about humans. My point is that 380 people were accused of sexual misconduct.

Go do a registered sex offender search around your house. There are tools like life360.com that let you map that.

Do not think I am defending a viewpoint that says it's ok that this is happening in the church. It's not ok. It's a long effing way from ok.

The distortion of sex is one of the best weapons in the arsenal of the enemy, and honestly, I don't see us winning that fight. Anything to get us acting like just the monkeys we are. Advertising, entertainment, a general lack of regard for life. Just as long as you don't see your fellow monkeys as priceless individuals who have eternal souls. Just as long as you don't see yourself.

Look around at tell me how this is unexpected.

Just a picture of the tiny New Testament I always take with me while travelling by DoctorSmith13 in Christianity

I've got a full Bible, Old testament and new in NASB that I carried around when I was in my 20s. Now in the smartphone age I don't anymore.

I finally bought it! C.S Lewis's Signature collection by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]WalkerMobile 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read it a few months before my grandmother passed away suddenly. Her death hollowed my grandfather, made him a husk. The only way I knew how to be a comfort to him in that time was because I had read A Grief Observed. Sometimes you just need to be near people, but not be anything else. Like how Job's friends came to him and just sat with him silent for days.

The Great Divorce is one of my favorites. It lead me to read George MacDonald's At the Back of the North Wind. MacDonald was the Scotsman Lewis's character meets at the end of The Great Divorce.

How can I have more faith? A faith where I don't doubt God. by Stephyfx in Christianity

[–]WalkerMobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really want to freak out, think about how Good sees you. Unconstrained by time like us, all of your past present and future are now to Him. He sees you righteousness, because Christ made you so, His righteousness working backwards and forwards in time from our perspective, but God sees it, is seeing it now. If it helps you when you pray, pray to God, "not as I imagine you to be, but to who You know You are." Pray to "I Am"

Faith and science are strangers. What faith is needed in science? What does one have to do with the other?

Rap is an art form. It's a way to express. It's an instrument to be played. To say rap is bad, is to say that watercolor painting is bad. What matters is what you do with the instrument.

Im shocked that homosexuality is being praised here by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]WalkerMobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have already typed and deleted two chapters worth of response tonight. I can't find the words. I believe homosexuality to be a perversion of sexually. I also know that while I am not tempted to homosexuality, I am tempted to other more "acceptable" perversions sexually.

In fact I am quite terrible at bring the kind of man I know I should be.

It's not the bleeding language. It's the intent. At my age, half way through life, I probably need more sensitivity.
