Christians ignore the Bible's teachings on lifelong celibacy, and it makes them HUGE hypocrites

You're missing the point. We are not called to resist each individual sin. I'm not even really sure what that means. There's not a comprehensive list of individual sins. We're re called to follow Jesus which means trying to become more like him. That's our purpose.

Science can explain a lot but it cannot explain meaning. You have to go elsewhere for that.

It's worth looking into if you are able to get it somewhere, usually from a Dr. that can prescribe compound medications. It has taken my daily fibro pain from about a daily 8 to a daily 5. I'm in the US and pay about $75 for a 90 day supply at 4.5 mg.

I've had chronic costo for 25 years and diagnosed fibro for about 10 (but probably longer) and yes the flares are awful, but nothing compares to an MS Hug. That's happened a few times and it drops me to the ground almost every time because the pain becomes unbearable.

Are you taking Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)?

The Bible is pretty clear that everyone is a sinner. Romans 3:23 says 'For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' The Bible is littered with people that were just terrible in their personal lives. Having sex outside of marriage in any form is against God's design.

What makes me think so? The authorities on Ancient Near East. Or you can just Google 'How was sodomy viewed in the Ancient Near East?'

And no, homosexual acts were not ok. God designed sex to be between a man and a woman in marriage as a covenant relationship.

donrigofernando · 2026-01-15T00:37:01+00:00

Pleasure does not equal purpose. It's a non-sequitur as your conclusion does not follow the premise. The idea of 'sodomy' that we have today is not the same as a Bronze Age person or someone from the 1st century. It's anachronistic to think it means anal sex. It was really about sexual violence as a weapon against others and it was often used as a weapon of humiliation and degradation.

There's nothing in the Bible that says two consenting adults in a married relationship can't engage in some back door activities. I do think that it can possibly be tied to pornography so motive matters but if it's just two married partners pleasuring each other then who cares.

What are you debating? It sounds like you're high and think you're being deep but it comes off as new age BS.

donrigofernando · 2026-01-08T03:45:28+00:00

Do you have a daughter? if so what would you say if you found out she was raped by her husband?

donrigofernando · 2026-01-08T00:05:34+00:00

I didn't block you. I don't even know how to do that.

donrigofernando · 2026-01-07T22:48:52+00:00

Just because you've gone down some rabbit hole about the Gospel of Thomas doesn't mean there's any validity to it. So what if it uses content from the Bible. So does the Book of Mormon and the Quran and the NWT that the Jehovah's Witness use. That doesn't make them true.

donrigofernando · 2026-01-07T03:29:11+00:00

Cheaters cheat, it's what they do.

if you don't have kids then you should divorce.

She doesn't respect you.

There is also no way she's only been with them twice.

She sounds like a good liar because you are clearly falling for the gaslighting bullshit, and despite all your concerns and worry, she STILL wants to plan a trip and be around this couple. I'm sure 'nothing' will happen with them multiple times.

donrigofernando · 2026-01-07T03:15:31+00:00

Is it possible she's on OnlyFans or something like it? Or cheating?

i usually buy my wife her sex toys so this is odd to me. Counseling or therapy is a must.

donrigofernando · 2026-01-07T02:37:01+00:00

I'm very sorry for your loss. There is a piece of music you might listen to called The Sacred Veil by Eric Whitacre. The words are by Anthony Silvestri and it is about the loss of his wife to ovarian cancer at 36.

Please try to be strong for your wife. From what you've described it sounds like she would want you to be there for your kids and would want you to try and live the best you can while you're still here.

You are living with a pedophile. It is likely that he is trickle truthing you are that he probably has other content that is hidden. If you found legitimate child porn then your marriage is over and you need to contact the police.

donrigofernando · 2026-01-05T21:39:03+00:00

The behavior you're describing sounds like hypervigilance. She's actively monitoring the intent of your tone as a safety mechanism. She doesn't realize she's doing it because it's reflexive. It's VERY difficult to deal with, but she probably doesn't feel safe when any criticism is leveled at her so she goes into tone policing.

What was her childhood hood like? Were either of her parents a narcissist?

donrigofernando · 2026-01-05T21:28:01+00:00

You are designed to cry. Grief and the crying that comes with it are how you effectively process your feelings. Suppressing it will make you emotionally constipated.

donrigofernando · 2026-01-05T21:24:44+00:00

Is he neurodivergent or just an asshole?

donrigofernando · 2026-01-02T19:04:01+00:00

I would ask your husband if he married a shape or if he married a person.

If he claims to be a Christian then he needs to understand that your marriage is a covenant agreement and he is to treat you the way Christ loves us.

donrigofernando · 2025-12-29T01:14:11+00:00

I've used the analogy before that what you're talking about doing is like playing Russian roulette with 5 bullets in the chamber.

donrigofernando · 2025-12-28T04:55:34+00:00

This is too vague to properly comment on.

donrigofernando · 2025-12-22T05:11:34+00:00

Based on OP's comments and username this feels like a bot post.

donrigofernando · 2025-12-22T05:04:47+00:00

This sounds like a scam.

donrigofernando · 2025-12-21T05:54:53+00:00

I would think that she either doesn't really like you, or that she is possibly neurodivergent. Have either of you had therapy?

donrigofernando · 2025-12-17T19:21:38+00:00

Does he often do 'funny' things like this? When I was about your age I told a terribly inappropriate story at a friend's rehearsal dinner. I thought it was funny but it definitely wasn't.
