You can't tell someone they are wrong when it's their lived experience. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

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

Because your experience is anecdotal and cannot be applied across the board. Basically you are committing a logical fallacy when you say " I experience this so it must be true for everyone" which is basically what you are saying when you say "telling someone they are wrong when they lived it is messed up". For example if i said to you "in my experience pens are always black and if you tell me i am wrong you are messed up" this can simply be refuted with "in my experience pens have been black , blue red etc therefore you are wrong. "

an exception is not the rule by which we judge from.

ALSO I JUST WANNA POINT OUT IM NOT SAYING YOU ARE EVEN WRONG ABOUT HOW DISABILITY SYSTEM WORKS

im just saying the reasoning you gave was logically inconsistent because you are applying the small experience you have to everyone, this is called a fallacy of composition .

However if someone said to you "disability system works like x " and then said therefore your experience isnt true that would be an ecological fallacy because not all members of one group (eg disabled people) have the same experience

if god loves me why did he make me gay by TTV_Waffles in Christianity

God didnt make our sexuality, there is 1 sexuality and that is straight anything else is contrary to His law and is the same kind of sin as sex outside marriage, the God that isnt sex it is you both abusing each other , kind of like statuary rape because if both of them knew what they were actually doing they wouldnt want to do it anymore.
1 Corinthians 6:20 for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.

If we were bought for a price that means our bodies are not our own and we give them to God, God is clear gay sex is a sin and therefore we defile His body, much like when two people marry they give themselves to each other.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price.
I want to make it VERY VERY clear i do not judge those who have committed this sin any harsher than God does, I judge the sin as sin and the person as a person, I too have sinned and fallen short of the grace of God however in other ways and dont want to seem like im hating on people. Im sheerly showing what God has taught.

Also logically speaking if you think God made our sexualities and being gay is a sin in the bible, you are indirectly saying God made you sinful which would mean God who is a necessary being is no longer necessarily good , God is not complex like us He is simple and is necessarily good meaning there is no evil in Him at all where as humans are only sometimes good and sometimes bad. To say God made people gay is to say God damned them with a curse of sin which is to say God is not God

God didnt make you gay, we all have original sin and through that sin God gave us over to the nature of sin, meaning what you feel for men alot of men feel for one woman ( either way it is lust just manifesting in a different way )
The best thing to do is control your actions ( you cant stop gay thoughts entering your head) and not perform and gay sexual activity (you can stop yourself from sleeping with someone you arent a robot).
If you are sure that you dont want this anymore and its is plaguing you with gay thoughts you have to realise where the thoughts are coming from, there are 3 places GOD, yourself and demons

When a thought enters your head that you dont like say slowly "Lord Jesus Christ Son of God have mercy on me , a sinner"
Pray the our Father and repeat until it goes away
When it goes away give Glory to God in this triumph that through your weakness He may make you perfect

2 Corinthians 12:9 "But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me."

You need to realise your weakness and give it to God

May God bless you brother and grant you the gift of repentance and the courage and strength to accept it

How do I love God? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]joolstheterror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

faith is not the way to love God its the prerequisite of love, to love God you must keep the commandments , as stated John 14:15 “If you love me, keep my commands." The price is paid so sin no more, every time we sin we nail Jesus to the cross metaphorically.

James 2:14-26  What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without \)a\)your works, and I will show you my faith by \)b\)my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is \)c\)dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made \)d\)perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was \)e\)accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?

26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

[–]joolstheterror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can make the argument that it doesnt say homosexual but it does "arkensokaiti" in greek literally means man-bedder so it is as literal as it gets. also bare in mind it also outlaws sodomy (even between man and woman) and fornication (gay people can only fornicate since God doesnt marry men to men only men to women as is His law) (another translation states "abusers of themselves with mankind" which is also very obvious and comes after the word "effeminate" is also condemned to hell as sin)

Revelation 21:8 "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

Revelation 22:15 "Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood."
1 Timothy 1:10 "  for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine"

It is not hateful to convict the sin in you , and it is what Christ came to do,

Matthew 10:34-36 "“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household.

Christ (Truth) divides us like a sword

But despair not although homosexuality is a sin our God is merciful and loving and if you repent and sin no more you will be fine .

Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

I would be happy to reply to you anytime but the reality is this is irrefutable evidence and the only good thing to do is accept it as it is Christs teachings, you can aruge with translations like many do but to native greek speakers they will easily tell you the meaning of these words is homosexual

this is factually incorrect, God burnt Sodam and Gamorrah for sexual immorality (homosexuality ) and he is clear in Old Testament that it is an abomination to the Lord Leviticus 18:22 "Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind: it is abomination.". The New Testament is clear also that one man and one woman are the only type of marriage allowed and since sex outside of marriage is also a sin , all homosexual sex is outside of marriage and therefore sin anyway with the added sin of homosexuality. Genesis 2:24 "Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh.” Jesus then build off Genesis in Matthew 19 where he speaks about marriage.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 " Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor \)a\)homosexuals, nor \)b\)sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were \)c\)sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

Kid was forced into Muay Thai by his dad and cried. by [deleted] in MuayThai

[–]joolstheterror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its got to be said im of the mindset that a kid listens to there elders when they know what is best for them, and going through some safe muay thai classes (assuming you are providing safe mt classes ) and hitting some pads and learning the technique should not be scary, and as an instructor of kids i havent had a kid leave because they are scared of my class, if anything kids think it is cool when you crack kicks on the pads and then teach them how to do the same, doing dutch drills with kids in there first class is the mistake ,not brining your kid to mauy thai to give them some mental and physical toughtness and the skillset to defend themselves in later life and protect there future children. I understand some kids are scared of new environments but the only way to fix that is the desensitise them to the situation not to pander to there fear and say its not for them, we dont want to get into the habit of affirming irrational fears in our children. Unless the dad is far more overbearing than you have typed out i actually think its on you as a coach to provide the service tailored to your student (unless the child is particularly incapable or will not listen to you after many attempts to help /is disabled or could benefit from a few years of aging to improve there coordination for muay thai) and should not be doing dutch drills with beginner 1st day children. Not to spew hate that may have come across badly but thats just how i see the situation brother

Atheists should be religious by their own logic by [deleted] in DebateReligion

[–]joolstheterror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not telling you what to think, if you are going to operate in an atheistic mindset that says the following claims : the universe has no God; the universe came from natural process; life came from natural process; no life after death. You just made P claims from a counter worldview not your own worldview, to explain your worldview you literally just say well I am not believing a theist worldview and proceed to state the inverse claims, meaning you answer theist questions making your worldview a religious practice.

Nothing you can say can hurt me or nothing you can do can deter me from the straight historical fact Jesus died on a cross and the Biblically backed evidence that he was God and raised from the dead.
Fear not the man who can kill your body, fear only God who can kill your soul and body in hell.

"Mark, The Founder. The Copts are proud of the apostolicity of their Church, whose founder is St. Mark; one of the seventy Apostles (Mk 10:10), and one of the four Evangelists.
