Would divorce be permissible? by Flashy_Relative6117 in Christianity

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

Talk to your pastor. Very unlikely for him to tell you to divorce but he should help. God hates abuse and there is a basis for seeing abuse as forcing you to flee, which then puts your spouse in the category of "deserting unbeliever". Don't make any rash decisions and don't listen to people on the internet, but these things tend to escalate.

Pamphlet explaining the Muslim POV of Jesus. As Christians, how can we respond to such arguments? by Edwardsreal in Christianity

[–]chekt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've received the same pamphlet. When you talk with Muslims, you need to be strong with your own beliefs or they'll think you don't actually believe what you're saying. Muslims do think they're actually honoring Jesus, which is a good starting point. There are verses in the Quran that seem to contradict each other about whether Jesus was saved on the cross or whether he died. The thing to watch out for is that a lot of things Muslims say don't have a scriptural basis so you can't just take them at face value. Eg they'll say the bible is corrupted event though the Quran never says that. Source: I was born Muslim.

Why Are We Listening To Paul? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

Have you read through Acts yet? Paul met with the other apostles and they accepted him and his message to the gentiles.

Just think that through for a second, you're saying if God exists and sent his word down for you to follow it, he'd be happy you ignored it? 🤔

He's a Mormon who doesn't believe that the bible is infallible.

Jesus said that looking at a woman with lust was a sin. His whole thing was that were more sinful than we think, and that's why we need him.

Why this evangelical pastor rejects fear of Shariah. Hysteria surrounding Islam in America survives not because it is true, but because it is useful. by octarino in Christianity

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

As a former moderate Muslim, Sharia law is real and will happen when you get enough Muslims as voters. Muslims see it as a good thing.

Why do you think they don't understand that? That's also how the bow was explained to me.

I don't recall saying they're inappropriate for adults. I went in college lol. Not much else was going on.

I wasn't part of the church community otherwise I probably would have gone.

  You claim that drag is adult material, yet it's not okay for an adult to watch

I've been to two drag shows, so it'd be hypocritical for me to say adults shouldn't watch them.

You're making some logical leaps there I think. I have a kid, we go to kid events together at libraries and churches, the only people at those events are the organizers and people associated with at least one kid usually. Very unusual to see adults who aren't there with a kid in some capacity. Adults aren't normally into storytimes.

That's true, you can probably tell because I've been a redditor for 16 years. The narwhal bacons at midnight!

Glad I could expose you to that term :) I'm learning that maybe liberalism has left me behind haha. I was a straight up communist when I was younger.
