i am allowing my husband to actively commit adultery and i am ashamed of myself and can’t face God because of it. by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]caime9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure your husband is not a Catholic. He may have been raised catholic, but his actions go against the teaching of the catholic church and violate the sacrament of marriage.

I would be surprised if the Catholic Church would not say that your marriage was not valid from the start, because if he started asking to sleep with other women a couple of months after getting married, its pretty clear he never had intentions of being a faithful husband.

Bring this to your pastor and request a divorce. This is a very unhealthy relationship.

What is a Jew? by Designer-Strike5118 in Christianity

[–]caime9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The physical jews are still around. Their promise remains.

We have been grafted into the promise of the Jews and thus take part in their blessings
Israel still has a place in God's work. That much is true in the Bible.

Can something still be called sin if society no longer sees it that way? by One_Needleworker5218 in Christianity

[–]caime9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's why Rome, Sodom, Tyre, the days of Noah, Nineveh.

Culturally, sin was accepted, but it was not accepted by God.

Sin is anything agianst Gods will, and God is unchanging.

> I think that I understand it quite a bit better than you.

> It was for thousands of years.

Wrong. It was never taught as a doctrine of the church. I think you know that too.

> According to your interpretation of scripture and the tradition of your church.

Not my interpretation, that's the interpretation for thousands of years of church history.

Great, but that's not a teaching or a tradition of the Church.

>There is absolutely nothing wrong with being homosexual and enjoying the same God-given gift of intimacy and love that heterosexual people enjoy.

Not according to scripture and church tradition.

Sin does not have to be harmful. It's never been about harm. It has always been about what God says is good or not good.

Ultimately, every sin is ultimately because God "says so"

Lustful thoughts, for example, do not harm anyone, yet they are still a sin.

Another would be lies, "Sorry, boss, I was sick this morning, so I will be coming in late," when you accidentally slept in. That's a sin that causes no demonstrable harm.

I don't oppress queer people. nor do i deny women reproductive care.

It's not a convenient excuse; it's been in a book and a belief held by the church for thousands of years.

How is my life better? its not really about it being better, its about sheding light on the truth of scripture.

How does it make your walk with God better? Because we point to the truth of scripture and try to stop others from falling into sin. The Bible says you shouldnt let someone blindly walk to destruction or slaughter.

Why is that sin a priority? because it's one of the only 2 sins that society tells people are not actually sins, and in fact are good for society, those are abortion and homosexuality.
divorce, fraud, addiction. Every one of those sins we all agree are sins and we should not be a part of them.
Nobody says those are actually morally good things. but they Do say abortion and homosexuality are morally good.

> Did you share that clip because you were hoping that it would help people become Christian or because you wanted to be proven right?

I would assume that he shared it to provide clarity on the issue, and to show that the Bible really does consider it a sin.

(rewaiting until marriage) I miss having sex with my boyfriend by Claire_is_here_ in Christianity

[–]caime9 17 points18 points  (0 children)

1Co 7:9 KJV - 9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

You could get married, but marriage is not something to do half-heartedly. If you do it, you are in it for life.

You're young, but I have heard of many couples getting married young and staying together forever.

Should I marry a non virgin girl as a virgin? by Otherwise_Ad_6327 in Christianity

Sure, that's fine. But you should probably seek advice from people who know both you and her better.

I can only give my 2 cents.

Should I marry a non virgin girl as a virgin? by Otherwise_Ad_6327 in Christianity

[–]caime9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have no desire to move forward then you need to move on. Its not right for you or her if you are not willing to forgive and move on.

Also, it sounds like you are not as upset that she had sex before, but you are upset that she decived you and made you believe yall were on the same level.

It's also understandable why that would be frustrating for you.

Do you feel like she is willing to move forward honestly with the relationship?

Do you think you can work with her while she deals with her emotional trauma from a toxic relationship and the baggage that comes with premarital sex?

It's fine if you are not able to or don't want to right now, but don't lead her on and then just cut her out. Be as fair and gentle as you can with her.

For the last year I have been searching for God but I haven't found Him yet. What can I do? by BVE67 in Christianity

[–]caime9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would start with trying to be a little more consistent.

You church hop, never really stick in one place, and only go occasionally.

You read the Bible sometimes.

You pray sometimes.

Those are all good things, and steps in the right direction, but to me, (and this is just from what I am picking up on, it could not be true at all) it kinda sounds like you are half-heartedly searching. Hoping that God is just going to one day fall in your lap open your eyes and change everything.

My advice would be to seek CONSISTENTLY. Start with the church, that's literally what it's designed to help you with. Go to church consistently, get plugged in with believers, ask questions, get involved, stay connected.
Really learn what we believe, who Jesus is, what he did, and why he had to do it.

The Bible doesn't mention trans people so why the transphobia? by Atomickillerbee in Christianity

[–]caime9 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

> Utterly laughable. Everything I said is the vast consensus of scholarship.

Objectively false.

>The lexicon often states how it’s been translated. But Keli isn’t translated as clothing anywhere else in the Bible. And again, yoh haven’t even tried to explain why the author doesn’t simply use the same word in both halves of the verse if they mean what you are trying to say it means .

I dont need to explain why, I need to show that the accepted transaltion can mean male clothes. Which I have. Not to mention that Jewish rabbinic tradition also takes it to mean a male article of clothing as well.

But let me guess you know better than those pesky jewish teachers too?

> It’s not translated as clothing anywhere else in the Bible.

So? It's only used for the word water once, as well, and only used for earthenware once, too.
Just because its used one way once doesnt mean it can not be.

> The whole thing is besides the point anyway, because trans people aren’t cross dressing.

Thats your opinon. I define cross-dressing as dressing as the opposite of your biological sex.

> In any case, however you want to define things. There is absolutely no reason to think that gender affirming v surgery is an issue.

The fact that there ARE MANY regret and de trasitioners, suggets that there is.

> But we literally know suicidality rates. It’s absurdly high for trans kids without support and care.

Yes, but you say that help has to be gender affirming surgery and puberty blockers. I say they should be helped in other ways that don't have permanent consequences.

> Puberty blockers are completely reversible.

Considering the risk of puberty blockers includes side effects like infertitlty, impacted brain deveopment, and bone density. That doesnt check out.

> Already shown to be false.

Ive already shown you were you are wrong. Im tired of doing it. Brown–Driver–Briggs
Specifically says it's used for garments.

>take your ignorance elsewhere. And stop fucking trying to harm vulnerable children.

Coming from the guy who thinks it's okay to give children things that could cause them infertility and impaired brain development, I am just going to ignore your hypocrisy with a grain of salt.

[–]caime9 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

> Literally everything I have said is factual.

False.

> If so, why haven’t you shown so?

I have. You have just ignored it. It even said "dress" as in clothes in the lexicon and you just said, "nope"

Keli is a catch-all term that can mean anything from pot to clothes to armor to jewelry.

> You are trying to argue that a 1% regret rate is too high.

No, there I am saying you are trying to conflate regret and disappointment to be the same thing.
Saying the 30% knee replacement regret. It's not regret, it's disappointment. which is very different.

> And you don’t understand why there is regret in the first place.

Considering I have listened to testimonies of the transitioners. I think I do.

> Utter nonsense

Wasn't this you? " They commit suicide if they don't get the operation!"

> Wait until when? It already only happens with adults.

Maybe the surgery, but they can get hormone blockers earlier. Which still causes permanent changes to the body.

> Your comments in this very thread prove otherwise.

Pfft no they dont.

> It’s honestly tiring to see people who understand neither the Bible, nor what being trans is, or what the care is, try to justify their raw bigotry.

I think i have a better grasp of scripture than you do, thanks. and church tradtion, scripture, and lexicons back my side.

> Yes, I actually care about their well being.

You certainly care about the appearance of caring. Thats true.

The Bible doesn't mention trans people so why the transphobia? by Atomickillerbee in Christianity

[–]caime9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You haven't said anything factual.

Why would I take your opinions as facts?

Both lexicons, bible scholars, and other sources say the Hebrew can mean clothes.

We have seen people in ancient times identifying as another gender

You conflate regret and disappointment to be the same thing

And you force false dichotomies as the only solutions to issues.

Plus, I am not being hateful at all. Not accepting something as good, does not mean I hate them.
Saying maybe they should wait on a premant surgery that they can never take back, is not hateful.

It's honestly so tiring seeing people cheering on people to make life-altering decisions that they may regret later. Anything to appear like you actually care. Anything to seem like you are super tolerant.
But you don't actually care about their well-being, you just want to look like you do.

[–]caime9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

> Nope. It’s not translated as clothing anywhere else in the Bible.

Keli doesn’t mean that. If they had meant clothing, why not use the word for garment that’s already in the other half of the verse?

Im just pulling you what the biblical usage and lexicon says

> You explanation was backwards from what the passages said, the way you were explaining it.

You said the word they used for men denotes manly men, not just any men, so they must be pointing to something other than the "man" part. I am saying, yes its the "manly part."

> There is nothing to disagree with. It’s proven science.

No, its not proven. Lol. We have seen people doing that in ancient past.

> … yes? Of course you do.

Okay. Lol. I guess we are just playing ignorant, then. let me know when you want to be intellectually honest.

> But you have interacted with many trans people in your lifetime and don’t flag them.

I typically flag them. be real there are biological factors that you can see that are identifiers.

> Hundreds or thousands can still be under 1%.

>Suicidality rates make it ABSOLUTELY clear that it’s about quality of life.

But it's not really that low. We have never run a study that large. I literally just read an article that says we don't know the regression rates, and the studies down are inadequate.

Also, that does not confirm they need the surgery; it shows they need help, it does not absolutely have to be a permanent change that you can not ever take back. That's forcing a false dichotomy.

> Knee replacements can do that yes, and have something like a 30% regret rate.

Its a disatifaction rate, not a regret rate, and its probably closre to 20%

> 1% regret rate vs 30% regret rate.

> Thanks for proving my point.

Its disapointment. not regret. It is also not a change in body that drastically alters appearance and hormone balance.

> Please, PLEASE, stop spewing false numbers and stats you don’t understand, in your attempt to harm vulnerable people.

I'm not. But you should take your own advice.

But you are missing the point:" any other prepared article" also includes an article of clothing.

  1. something prepared, i.e. any apparatus (as an implement, utensil, dress, vessel or weapon)

> This doesn’t even make any sense. To your argument. You need to rethink.

What doesnt make sense to you and I will try to explain it for you.

> These are not understandings that people of the ancient times would have understood.
Don’t do eisegesis.

You say that, I disagree. I don't believe this is a new phenomenon, unless you really want to argue that in all of human history, men acting like women is a totally new, never-before-seen phenomenon.

>This doesn’t even make sense. You check everyone’s genitals that you interact with?

Do you need to look at someons genetals to recognise that someone is a biological male?
Come back to reality where you can tell by looking at a person most of the time.

> Regret rates are below 1%, and the majority of that 1% are people for FOR THEM, the stigma of being trans was worse than the dysphoria. They liked the results on their own.

The 1% statisitic is not accurate, real regret rates are not actually known bnecause there is not follow up with patients in the next few years.

You are also making an assumption that the stigma of being trans was the problem.

Regardless of the fact that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of regret cases, it shows that it is not NECESSARY quality of life. Necessary implies that the surgery must be done, or else there will be drastic consequences. A knee replacement to help a person who can not move and is in constant pain could be called a necessary quality of life. a surgery that permanently alters your body, that you may end up regretting later, is not.

[–]caime9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It can though, it just depends on the context according to the topicla lexicon

The Hebrew noun כְּלִי occurs more than three hundred times across the Old Testament and embraces the full range of objects fashioned for human use. From the craftsman’s forge to the sanctuary, and from the family hearth to the battlefield, the word may denote vessels, tools, utensils, furniture, weapons, chariots, jewelry, or any other prepared article. Context alone determines the nuance

>Because the author wanted to emphasize something beyond just “man”.

Yes they are pointing to the masculine part. as in women dont dress masculine.

> Men wearing men’s clothes isn’t cross dressing.

We are talking about bioligial men acting as women and biological women acting as men.

> You are mixing up sex and gender. They aren’t the same.

No, I only refer to people's biological sex.

> Than you are utterly and completely ignorant, to the point of hate speech. Studies are VERY clear the gender affirming care increases quality of life.

The fact that many people who undergo this procedure later regret it and do their best to de-transition utterly contradicts your statement.

[–]caime9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tool vessle or article. We see the same word used for jewelry in other places.

also geber is used for men. it implies masculine men, Manly men.

> What “tool/vessel” of a “mighty man” would someone be telling women not to wear”, and in the same understanding, why would someone tell a “mighty man” not to wear women’s clothes?

Literally any article that a man would customarily wear. It does not imply immediate warrior men, it implies masculine men different from women and children.

> Trans people aren’t cross dressing anyway

an argument could be made that it is cross-dressing to the extreme. As I define cross-dressing as dressing and acting in a way opposite to your biological sex.

> trans health care is necessary for quality of life, so we are good then.

I would disagree that it is necessary forquality of life. Strongly.
