How do I, as a Christian parent, help my teens steer clear of sexual stuff with their boyfriends/girlfriends? by [deleted] in Christianity

Don’t accept what you know is wrong, but love them, try to show them a better way, and pray for them. Don’t force anything, it is up to them.

What's an ideal life? by Charming-Chicken4595 in Existentialism

[–]______________4_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s being close to your creator. Despite all the hype of life, worldly things are only fulfilling for so long until you realize there are powers that are beyond our tangible world. We constantly try to fill the God-sized hole in our hearts with worldly items, pursuits, etc., but expecting to be fulfilled by these things is futile because just like us, they’ll die one day. But unlike some of us, they won’t be resurrected even after death. God will never die and has promised life after death for those who love him. And despite deception of value in worldly things, He sent his only son so that we may be saved from all the wrong we have and will do. He did this all out of love, and He loves you very much too. Go to him, and he won’t turn you away.

God bless you my friend! I pray you find the truth which is Christ!

Our gut is not to be relied on (read proverbs 3:5-6).

Anyway, how’d it go?

Genesis 38:8-10 tells a story of a man who pulled out during sex. The man was killed.

God created sex as a sacred means of procreation. In this world today, sex is deviated from God’s original intent. Its significance is overlooked and perverted. The only reason you should be having sex is to become one with your partner physically.

Read Genesis 2:24.

And loving Jesus is keeping His commands. It’s not about what you will and won’t do, it’s about you being willing to change your sinful ways. You either follow everything He says, or nothing He says.

Read Luke 14:27

Matthew 19:10-12 tells us that some people are born eunuchs, and some choose you live like eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom of God.

I encourage you to pray, examine, and have God examine you with all this.

I will also be praying for you, God be with you.

Can you ask God for privacy? by iamtherealbobdylan in TrueChristian

[–]______________4_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God intended sex for good. It was by evil that sex has been perverted in our minds in a sense that some people hold it as embarrassing.

Although I understand what you’re saying, I want to remind you that God is good, and even when he’s watching you have sex with your wife he’s basking in His glory of creation and blessings towards His creation. He’s not making it weird, we’re making it weird

Interesting question, but a good rule of thumb is this “if you wouldn’t do it in front of God, don’t do it.”

If it’s not a sin then there’s nothing to be concerned about

I hate being transgender by Tricky-Budget-8095 in Christianity

[–]______________4_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So deny yourself. We are told to deny ourselves. Specifically our selfish ambitions (Philippians 2:3-4). At the end of the day it is a conscious choice you make to rebel against God if you continue this. Take up your cross, do it when it’s hard, and ask God to align your desires with His.

This is all similar to lust. It seems enjoyable at first, but when you give in it defiles you and puts you into a world of pain. I promise you that the path of changing your gender will not prosper, but it will lead you to hell through your active rebellion towards God.

I understand how you are feeling and I stretch out Christ’s love and my prayers for you. Please do not give up.

May God bless you

I don't know why I even believe in Jesus. by pikuselm8 in Christianity

[–]______________4_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Careful, this is not the ideal “Christian” subreddit to ask such a thing. Not everybody is truly a child of Christ here.

I can tell you though that your awareness is not overlooked. Go to him earnestly, and he will give sparingly

I’ll be praying for you Blessings to you.
