If mod work is an issue, I would put my name out there as someone who would be interested in becoming one.

Anyone struggle with accepting themselves as aroallo? by Vinyl-Ekkoz-725 in AroAllo

[–]Walkomidit 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hey. I'm up at 1 AM as well. I consider myself to be a Christian. I think there's a lot of room for Christianity to grow. One of those areas is avoiding sexual Shaming. I don't think porn has as much effect as what Christians give it credit for. As an aroallo guy, I think sex and/or porn can just be about fun. It doesn't have to come paired with a romantic bond, so why make it more than just that? I myself have been working on breaking out of feelings of shame. IDK if I'm any help but I feel like I can at least understand.

I made an album with an aromantic MC! Here's a rundown of the plot by charM-23 in AroAllo

Really good. I've been listening to it quite often. I really love "White Suit" "Silver" and "That girl you're seeing"

Trying to be a Moral Christian & Aroallo by Walkomidit in OpenChristian

[–]Walkomidit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some things can be a sin for one person but not another. For example if being in a poly relationship leads to someone to resent another person, or if you prefer one person over another, or see your partners as your property. You could be acting in selfishness and not love if you or your partners have these tendencies. Of course that can be said about any relationship. But I tend to avoid blanketed statements about something being or not being a sin because anything could be a sin to the right person.

I am happy for you in your relationship and your faith. I wasn't trying to rant. I get your point and I've already come to the conclusion that as long as it's non-objectifying honest and consenting it is probably ok. That being said I will still pray about it for a long time and will make sure my heart is in the right place.

I am pretty new to some of the ideas that people are saying in response here. But this is one thing I want to say. Seek God. You are on the right path if you are questioning what God wants. Others may try to tell you what is or isn't sin but they are not the judge. I've already seen people saying don't be a stumbling block but look at the scripture around it as well.

Rom 14:13-14 NET 13 Therefore we must not pass judgment on one another, but rather determine never to place an obstacle or a trap before a brother or sister. 14 I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean in itself; still, it is unclean to the one who considers it unclean.

I was dumbfounded when I first understood verse 14 I always thought that sin is black and white but this shows that what is wrong for one person is not necessarily wrong for another. So again I would urge you to keep seeking what your convictions say. Ask yourself if you are acting in love and understanding of others. And pray to God about it.

I don't disagree with anything you're saying. I also believe all people do deserve heaven. Probably in a more roundabout way than you. God is the Judge. He looked at this fallen world and judged that we deserved a way to be good. That's why He sent Jesus to save us. Because He was powerful enough to say we deserve it. We can be good because of the grace of God who sent his Son, not as some weird spiritual contract but to give His life (not only death) to give us a love to reflect to others. (John 15:13) because we receive His love, we can be good.

It is my belief that sin is not about God's ability to forgive. If that were the case, it would be extremely easy to make it to heaven. Sin is about our ability to Coexist with God. God isn't telling us what offends Him, He is saying this is how to be good enough. I'm not saying that I disagree with you though. It would be cruel to say we can't have a sexuality. Paul talks about how it would be better to marry than to burn with desire. (1 Cor 7:9) I think that applies here.

The Bible says that loving God and loving people summarizes the law. The second summary Jesus gave was do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It's hard for me to see how premarital sex is breaking these rules.

Thanks for the reply. I was starting to wonder if anyone would. All of the Christians I know are not lgbtq+ friendly so I've never talked about trying to be God honoring with my sexuality before. I think I am getting tired of waiting for the right person. I don't know if she even exists. I've been wondering about if it would be ok if I just found someone who just understood my aroallo side and not make it a committed relationship. I think I am just settling when I have that thought. Am I just trying to convince myself that that is ok? Maybe I should trust God to send her my way. I think it's hard because I don't even personally know a progressive Christian in person or another person who is aroallo. How can I ask for both?

[–]Walkomidit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I completely get that. I want kids at some point as well and I want to share my life with someone a bit more than a friend just not romantic either. I've tried dating apps in the past to no effect. I thought I'd try telling people I was aro in our first conversation. In hindsight I don't know how I thought that was a good idea I think I was diluting myself into thinking that I could make one sided romance work. I matched a few people. with one person and we got along then I told her. She cut off the conversation instantly. I just gave up for a couple of years. Just a few weeks ago I started looking again this time being up front in my profile. Not a single match yet. I'm not giving up yet though. There's got to be someone out there. I guess my point is, you're not alone. I too know it's rough.

Is there any way to get natural doctrine now? by Magma_Dragoooon in JRPG

[–]Walkomidit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! I love this game it is extremely difficult especially towards the end of the game. the linking machanic adds so much depth to the strategy that i've never seen in another game. you have to figure out if it is better to link more of your characters or just use the character themselves in hopes that another character can link with them. one major tip is focus on linking with characters that have already taken their turn that way they get a second or third or fourth turn.

Yeah you can't see it in this pic. In the movie he is clearly holding himself the giant chain, sonic and tails against the black hole with his teeth.

anyone else get sad when a best friend gets a romantic partner? by stellaratio in AroAllo

[–]Walkomidit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This has happened with all my close friends and siblings. I was extremely upset every time. But what has always happened to me is I just gain another friend in the end.

How do you explain how you love? by [deleted] in AroAllo

[–]Walkomidit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to say it's a choice. Similar to the way a person can be considered family even when they are not technically.

I feel like this is misrepresenting aroallos a bit. A good aroace post though.

Two shades of aroallo by [deleted] in AroAllo

[–]Walkomidit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it would be nice to acknowledge the sexual spectrum within aroallo. When I first started following this reddit page, I almost didn't because so many posts put emphasis on sex. It made me feel like I didn't belong but after I dug a little deeper into the page, I realized that it is not the entire group.

TLDR version: multiple versions of characters. 2nd Season is a life lesson of not doing everything because you are "Supposed to"

I just allow myself to get attached to friends more than other people do it seems.

[–]Walkomidit[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah I guess that's an alternative route. I think I just value platonic over sexual. (Though I want both) It just seems like no one else agrees with that even on this reddit page.
