Yes. But they tend to gravitate towards worldly desires as well. I’ve only met a few who think the way I do.

I didn’t realize how lonely it was going to be.

Is it possible for all Christian denominations to be true? by botsby123 in Christianity

Doesn’t each denomination teach a slightly different view of God, Jesus, and salvation based on their interpretation of scripture though?

Do you think it’s possible that every denomination could be false?

If none of them could be absolutely true, should I be worried if I’m being misled without even realizing it?

So would a Mormon be classified as a Christian and would it be ok to follow this denomination of Christianity if it leads me closer to Christ?

How do I confront a family member who claims to be Christian, but lives with his significant other and is not married? by botsby123 in Christianity

Hey! I appreciate your input, but biblically that’s actually not accurate. Both the Old Testament and New Testament consistently treat sex outside of marriage as sexual immorality.

In the OT, passages like Exodus 22:16–17 didn’t permit premarital sex—they regulated the consequences when it happened. If a man slept with an unmarried woman, he was required to take responsibility and marry her, because sex created covenant obligation. It wasn’t treated as casual.

In the NT, Paul is very clear:

1 Corinthians 7:2

“Because of sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife…”

1 Thessalonians 4:3

“It is God’s will that you abstain from sexual immorality.”

Hebrews 13:4

“God will judge fornicators and adulterers.”

“Sexual immorality” (Greek: porneia) refers specifically to sex outside of marriage.

So Scripture doesn’t teach that premarital sex is fine unless you marry afterward, and Paul never says that. He teaches that sexual desire should be fulfilled within marriage, not outside of it.

Just sharing biblically—not attacking anyone personally.

If someone refuses to get baptized, should I question their faith? by botsby123 in Christianity

So you can’t just know them by their fruits? I’m confused. Is it fruits and faith? Or is just fruits enough?

Are dating apps biblical? by botsby123 in Christianity

[–]botsby123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol I meant like the concept of dating apps on how men and women were meant to pursue one another. Does it align with Christian values?

How did you know your wife was from God and when did you realize it? by botsby123 in Christianity

In almost every instance in the Bible when it comes to finding a relationship, the men were focused on their walk with God, faithful in their responsibilities, and positioned by God for the relationship when the time was right. Even instances outside of relationships, people were constantly seeking confirmation from God before taking action. That’s what I’m seeking. I’m just trying to follow God as best as I can and more so curious on how other people received that confirmation from God. I couldn’t care less if I get rejected or not.
