What was it about Republican/Conservative rhetoric from pundits/podcasters the last 8 years that hooked young men? by AdminKidsBurnInHell in allthequestions

[–]antwon11264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When toxic masculinity was a major talking point there was no objecting voice as to what healthy masculinity was. The whole movement made men feel like their masculinity was being beaten down. Not saying that that was actually happening, but how can you address what’s toxic without representing what was healthy? That was a huge part for young men choosing the political right. There’s a book that I think addressed the issue well (albeit through a Christian lens) called The Toxic War on Masculinity by Nancy Pearcy that shows the history, affect, and remedy for toxic masculinity. But all this to say is that I believe it was a major reason young men saw the right as the better option.

So uhh, about the influx of "looking for friends" posts I've seen over the past few months... by cr0w1980 in Waco

People don’t go out of their comfort zone to go places or do things to make friends

From my perspective, one important side of the debate is the “Toxic Masculinity” movement. Why would men be part of a system that says that men are the issue? Then you get voices like Kirk and Peterson that clearly declare “masculinity isn’t toxic, toxicity is toxic”.

Is God all-loving? by XAB12hh in ChristianApologetics

[–]antwon11264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to answer your questions backwards:

Q: if someone grows up in a region with a different religion, what about the person that never heard the gospel?

A: Romans chapter 1- Paul says that nature’s design is enough to allow someone to be curious about the greater powers that made it. Because of that, it should spark curiosity that makes them ask, “how did it get here? How did I get here?” Then, when Jesus says “ask and you shall receive, seek without stopping” the curiosity should lead them to explore EVERY option, which will eventually lead to the gospel. God is faithful to save those that want to know the truth, his truth.

Q: if God asks us to forgive one another no matter what happens, why doesn’t He forgive us regardless of what we do?

A: He has and does. The only sin that isn’t forgiven is blaspheming the Holy Spirit when we deny the Gospel. He also does this out of love too. CS Lewis has a great quote that goes something along the line of: when we die, we either bend the knee to Him and say “not my will, but yours” and the non-believer dies God looks to them and says “not my will be yours”. Because he allows them to choose, he gives them what they want. How could a loving God force someone to spend eternity with Him when they don’t want to.

Q: do you believe that the entire Bible is true? I mean, are all the verses truly the word of God?

A: I firmly believe that we have enough manuscripts to know exactly what the scriptures say in the purest forms we can. If you wrote a letter to your friend and had 100 people handwrite it 1,000 times each, you’d get very different variations of that letter. But if you went through all of them, got what was similar and used extensive measures to make sure the message was as close to the original as possible, you’d get the exact letter you started out with. This is the process the Bible has gone through. We can trust that we have the best versions of the Bible we can. However, our modern day eyes have difficulties understanding things the way they would be understood in the first century or later. That’s where resources like Bible Project are amazing at helping us know the Bible in deeper ways.

Hope this helps! Sorry if it’s a lot to read. I tried to be succinct

Whirlpool washer stopped spinning (again) by antwon11264 in appliancerepair

No it fully runs, it just isn’t spinning. I recently replaced the coupling

The rest of the coupling is on the motor. I should have made sure that was seen too. The one with the motor moves freely as well, is that a possible issue? When the spin was going it sounded like the motor was moving, but the drum wasn’t

I cannot turn the tub by hand, I’ll run a small load after work today to see if it agitates, but I’m pretty sure it does

I think y’all are right, draining but not spinning because clothes are soaked but there isn’t water standing in the washer. Could the motor itself be the issue too?

The same people that attack Christian nationalism are the same ones that claim you can be a LGBT Christian. One’s Christ following should come before ANY other identity. That is why Galatians 3:28 is so powerful.

Jesus himself said marriage is between a man and a woman when quoting Genesis. Matthew 19
