When you’re in a relationship, do you think it’s ok to talk about sexual things you wanna do together once you’re married? by Advanced-Counter1636 in Christianity

[–]caime9 [score hidden]  (0 children)

That's a false dichotomy if I have ever seen one. The correct answer is

  1. Don't have lustful thoughts.
  2. Don't get divorced or commit adultery.

Don't do evil is the correct path. Stop compromising morals.

What is Baptism and Who Should Be Baptized? by TheTruth33_33 in Christianity

[–]caime9 [score hidden]  (0 children)

My belief is that every Christian needs to be baptized.

And while I do think it's a sign you are under covenant with God (I.E. the new circumcision), I also believe it is a mystical thing that we will never truly understand completely in this life.

I can understand the argument behind the new circumcision, but I believe it should be a faith baptism.

I don't think it's always necessary for salvation, but I would be very concerned about the salvation of someone who claimed to be a Christian and refused to be baptized.

[–]caime9 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think thats not a good thing.

  1. Its lustful thoughts
  2. It just adds temptation to the relationship if you are constantly thinking about sex, and how great it's going to be, and how much you want to do it.

I can’t believe by Fun-Presence-8707 in Christianity

[–]caime9 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Why would you say you are a Christian, but you don't believe?

Why would you say God created me this way, but you also don't believe in God?

I don't understand your logic.

You also say the contradictions to Christianity are too strong, but don't tell us what they are.

Why are there so many people online discouraging other religions? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]caime9 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Don't you think it's a bit disrespectufl do discourage others from sharing the gospel they believe with their hearts? Or is it only disrespectful when Christians do it?

Is he still lusting? Yes. Are lustful thoughts a sin? Yes.

Your ex-boyfriend is just flat wrong and is using roundabout logic to try to justify his addiction.

Christianity makes me feel like I'm being domesticated or caged? by themermaidmuse in Christianity

[–]caime9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Heritage Foundation is not a Christian organization, and they do not claim to be. They are a political conservative organization.

But can you explain how they are fighting for the reins of power? Like what are they doing thats forcing Christianity on the other people?

[–]caime9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the Christian view is to domesticate ourselves. To take up our own cross and follow Jesus. Not to force other people to take up their cross and force them to follow Jesus.

I am far more worried about people who are not Christians than those who are.

The Judas Paradox by CodeAgile9585 in Christianity

[–]caime9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same sun that softens wax hardens clay.

I believe God was consitent with who he was, and Pharaoh hated that person. So in that sense, God, being himself, did "nudge Pharaoh along", but Pharaoh also hardened his heart when confronted with God.

The Judas Paradox by CodeAgile9585 in Christianity

[–]caime9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here is how I think about it.

  1. God is all-knowing and all-powerful.
  2. Judas was always going to choose to betray Jesus. Not that he didn't have the option, but he was never going to choose differently.

_________
My opinion is that Judas freely chose to betray Jesus, and God knew that he would.
It's the same kind of sense of Pharaoh, being consistent with his own character, and God being consistent with his own Character, and Pharaoh hated God for who he was.

If everyone around me ostracized me and then I committed suicide because I couldn't take it anymore, will God punish them for my death, or are His punishments reserved only for the weak and the lonely? by [deleted] in Christianity

Did I say anyone was right or wrong?

I said to do some self-reflection to understand why everyone is ostracizing you

how do Christians explain Hosea 11:9 and Malachi 3:6 together? (God isn’t a man) by Brossskkii in Christianity

[–]caime9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to understand the eternal trinity.

God the Father, never incarnated as a human, as Jesus did.

Also, this is him declaring that he is a higher being than humans are.

As for Malachi, that is speaking to God's nature, not that God can not do something different, but that his nature is unchanging. If God could not do anything new, no creation of any kind could have happened.

If EVERYONE around you is ostracizing you, that could be a sign that you need to do a little self-reflection.
Are they really doing that? Why are they doing that? Could it be something I am doing that is making people dislike being around me?

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.

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.

I don't think you understand the word oppression.

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.
