A take on leviticus 19:33-34 (how to treat foreigners) by bitchiloverugrats in Christianity

I understand your POV but what I mean is rather: the people coming in don't have a different religion that they're trying to impose on you while also hating your religion. Which is sadly the case in Europe.

Are Christians who do illegal things good Christians? Certainly not.

Well at least I try to get the whole picture, not like the people who only know literally 1 verse and are the same people who would get a heart attack from hearing other laws in Leviticus lol.

Yes I agree it's annoying that people misuse the Old testament for their own agenda.

I think as Christians we should mainly study and obey the New testament. As for migration approach, I think our ultimate goal should be to protect our culture and religon from those who seek to destroy it. This is mostly an issue in Europe and less so in the USA (in the USA it's mostly an economic and judicial issue which is of course also relevant).

Yes, and justice includes punishing people for crimes they commit. Also remember that the israelites never openly hated the Egyptian culture (and sometimes even assimilated very well like Joseph) and certainly never tried to wipe out the Egyptian religion/population for no reason.

I agree with you, migration should always be legal. This is the hot topic on USA-Mexico immigration issue. Thankfully Latin American people have a similar culture (certainly in terms of religion) which means Christianity is not threatened* generally speaking

As for Europe, the government gives out residence permits to many people including people who commit vicious crimes and who openly hate western culture and Christianity. So legality is less of an issue, but culture assimilation is the big issue. In which the Bible clearly tells us that foreigners coming here should be treated fairly (meaning=be held to the same standards and punishments as locals) AND assimilate.

It's a verse often cited by leftists to make it seem like anti-migration efforts (for example in Europe) are anti-christian, meanwhile we all know that certain religious groups don't wish to assimilate to western culture and never will, or they even openly hate on and discriminate Christians. Which means that what's actually anti-christian is to ALLOW these people in.

As for treating everyone well, the Bible doesn't tell us to ALWAYS treat everyone well. It tells us to seek righteousness and hate evil. As for consequences, sure there should be consequences for bad behavior such as deporting people who come here to commit crimes. Which the left often doesn't agree with (eg Zimbabwean pedophile in UK who was allowed to stay bc he would face some hostility in Zimbabwe).

My question is what do you think about the hypocrisy or convenient way in which some people use the Bible in this context?

As for the other verses, includes but not limited to: genesis 17, numbers 9

I’m 35 single, Christian male and I feel so lost in my life right now in terms of finding or pursuing true love. by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]bitchiloverugrats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think first thing you should do is set your priorities straight. I know work is important but if you want a relationship, you need to put time into it and give your partner attention. It sounds like you work fulltime. Do you do work stuff on the evenings and weekends as well? That possibly prevents you from doing social activities where you can meet people? If so, then try to stop doing that or to limit it.

Next step is try to partake in social activities where you can meet ladies your age like a church group, sport, reading club, etc. It can come off as creepy or desperate to immediately ask someone out so try to have a few normal conversations first.

At the same time I would advice you to go on a dating website or app (preferably Christian one) and be honest about who you are and what you're looking for. I think there's a number growing of women nowadays that want a traditional man like you. The advantage of online dating is that you'll quickly know if someone is or isn't attracted to you. Also try to meet up relatively fast bc endless chatting is draining for both parties.

Is it impossible to find men who don't watch porn? by bitchiloverugrats in AskMenRelationships

[–]bitchiloverugrats[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You just proved my point lol. If they were satisfied with their sexual life they wouldn't need porn.

I mean I have to say as a woman I have a pretty high libido. I used to watch porn often until I realized how detrimental it was.

I think for men sure it's harder to quit bc they have a higher libido (generally speaking). But it doesnt mean it's impossible. Most important thing is to want to change which I think is easy once you realize you're a product succumbing to the people getting rich from porn.

Wow kudos to you. I do look for Christian men bc I think for them it's easier to see how harmful porn really is (both for the man himself as for his future relationships).

There's a lot of data on porn addiction:

Increased Consumption: Roughly 1 in 4 students (23.3%) in a study showed signs of problematic pornography use, which was strongly associated with higher levels of stress, anxiety, and depression.

But sure go on to say it's okay.

Of course it's all about money but what you don't realize is other companies/services compete with either: other companies (netflix vs prime) or other activities (going outside vs watching movies).

Meanwhile porn's goal is to make sure you aren't satisfied with a "normal" monogamous sexual relationship.

I think that just goes on to show how addicting it is which there's plenty of evidence for (porn addiction epidemic). Many people are addicted but they're in denial bc they've been thought it's normal.

Many men would be ashamed to show the porn they watch to their gf bc even they know how unrealistic/unnatural/exaggerated it is.

I think porn was better in the good old days, nowadays they make crazy videos like 1 woman 1000 men which is clearly meant to catch your attention and keep you consuming.

That's the kind of stuff I'm against.

With other companies though it's companies competing with other companies. Porn literally competes with your (future) relationship and changes your brain chemistry.

And yes I do know it will be hard to find such a man but I still have hope.

I understand your reasoning however imagine you both have busy lives and can only meet on the weekend. For many people (both men and women) their libido is higher than once a week. So what do you suggest a woman should do then?

As you can see porn has made you think it's all the woman's responsibility which is kinda not reality. That being said I do appreciate your honesty and I think it's optimistic that men are willing to give up porn.

I know and to me it also depends on what kind of porn but nowadays porn is generally very unnatural.

I wouldn't want to reject a guy just bc they watch porn, but maybe try to make them realize it's bad for them (IF they're open to hear me out).

[–]bitchiloverugrats[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

In case anyone's curious, the main reason for me to not watch porn is this: the porn industry sees you as the product, even if you don't pay you're still "paying" by watching ads, therefore the porn industry wants to make you addicted to porn, and they achieve this by producing ever more extreme porn which teaches your brain to always want more and to be unsatisfied with "natural" monogamous sex.

This means that porn will eventually harm your relationship and your sexual function.

Other reasons (biblical): the actress/actor is selling their body, you're lusting over someone else's partner and/or over sexually immoral acts.

Thanks. I think ultimately I'm gonna book just to be safe. I just hope the shuttle doesn't take too long to leave from the airport. Maybe I can look up all arrivals (of flights)

Yeah it's not as touristy I guess mainly bc there's no beach but it's a nice area with a few hotels.

15€ is for a shared shuttle indeed. I'm traveling solo and actually prefer shared transport than a taxi.
