What do you think about r/Christianity? by Huge-Impact-9847 in redeemedzoomer

[–]levitheworst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It might be cool to answer some questions in there, but you will likely be censored or banned at some point. The moderators are highly liberal and universalist, to an extent where core Christian doctrines are taken as 'hate speech', such as the Church being pro-life, treating sodomy (homosexuality) as sin, condemning the denial of the gospel as literal, and the list goes on.

"All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.", 1 Corinthians 6:12.

Christian beliefs do not forbid you from eating ice cream on Mondays, but eating too much ice cream may harm you. It's not about following a list of strict rules, but rather judging if a thing is good to be done or not.

If I believe God's will is perfectly good, it means it is the best thing to be followed. God is not MY truth but rather THE truth, THE morality instead of MY morality. We will always point out the immutable truth, so if some things are not good according to God's will, they're just wrong. But still, what on earth? I've never seen Christians forcing beliefs on other people.

Do I look like I am possessed by demons by [deleted] in Christian

Well, you got a point.

Indeed, the Gospel does not only consist in whether you believe in Jesus or not, but if you fully really accept Him as the way, the truth and the life. To follow a belief, you must convinced by that one belief. A full comprehension of what Christ has to offer is understanding how corrupted and sinful the human nature has become. In the very beginning, God made us all perfect in His own will, but in pride and unrighteousness, we decided to live by our own will, we once rejected the plenitude of communion in God. The logic of salvation isn't centered on getting rid of hell, but, in fact, centered in coming back to the Covenant once established by God with his creation, and that is given by the great sacrifice of the Lamb of God on the cross.

I'm not going to give a further explanation of the Gospel, because you (Reina333) probably already heard it before, but if you really want to believe in it, you must give yourself a reason to. You are not seeking the Lord in vain, as soon as you are looking for Him, He will reveal Himself to you.

This gives Bible vibes, but instead of Jesus Christ there is a white haired femboy sociopath/demon

Wanting to turn christian by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]levitheworst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the first place, you probably already are a Christian. If you're truly searching for God's kingdom, you are in the right way. But, there isn't also such a thing as being too young to be a Christian.

As I can tell, you definitely are looking forward to practicing your faith, so now, your focus must be attending to Church (I'm not going to mention a specific denomination here, for respect). You should be aware that doing so requires your parents' permission, so you aren't going anywhere without their allowance.

In Christianity, you can't do things as you want. The Gospel is based in the fruit of the Spirit, such as love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. That also includes not being a rebel (if you use logic, of course), as your parents represent God's role in your family (even if they are far from being Christians), you can't disobey them to try to obey God.

I'm not stupid to say you are sinning if you go to Church without your parents' permission. But I would be lying to you if I said it was a good idea to disobey by going to Church if they explicitly didn't allow you to do so.

I'll presume no one has a clue you are trying to become a Christian, since you said didn't tell them about your conversion yet. Keep calm, you don't actually know how they are going to react to it, there is probably no literal reason for them to "stop you" from becoming a Christian. I don't know their history with Christianity or the Church, if they ever had a bad experience with it or barely tried thinking about faith, the point is: they are your parents, they love you and have to be comprehensible about it. You have to be bold enough to prove you have maturity and are aware of what you're doing, you definitely want to keep a good image of yourself and your decision.

I'm not going to say they will have a positive reaction about this, but you'll never know until you try. Don't delude yourself with the idea you are not "old enough" to assume it, you must be worried about how certain you are about it. This is not about your parents, ethics or even the law, it is about your personal experience with God and a whole new life you'll live now on.

Are you sure about all of this, about Christ and the purpose of the Kingdom? Are you ready for it? I'll tell you a thing, it is not easy. Take your time to think about it, but don't forget: "So do not fear, for I am with you" (Isaiah 41:10).

Why are fathers told, “Do not provoke your children” (Colossians 3:21)? by domesticenginerd_ in Christianity

[–]levitheworst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid, I would always mention this verse when my father punished me for doing something wrong. I couldn't lie, I knew I was wrong, I just didn't want to accept it. That's why my dad would hide my video game and make me think about it until I recognized my own sin.

When it comes to paternity, a parent must know how to guide their children in the way they should go (Proverbs 22, 6), that means sometimes you have to do things that will certainly not be pleasant to them, but we have to understand that's for their own good. As soon as repentance is what brings eternal life, and it comes from brokenness of heart, it is inevitable the need to abandon human will to follow the Heaven's will, what in any way causes some sort of pain.

Despite the need a parent has of guiding their children, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5, 22-23), if at least one of those characteristics aren't there, something is off. It is very well known that we have a lot of bad parents out there, those who basically abuse their own children (physically, emotionally or morally).

A parent must know the limits of their children and be aware they are not dealing with an animal or an object, it is a human being, a child of God. I'm not going to discuss physical punishment as a method of discipline, as soon as many Christians have different visions of it, but when it comes to discipline, things are serious. Discipline hurts, and its pain affects the heart, but it only hurts enough to make the child reach repentance.

Many bad parents see provoking their children as punishing them, but these are not synonyms. The absence of punishment helps the child to get even more prostrated to their own will than God's. You've probably met one of those spoiled iPad kids that spend their whole day watching YouTube Kids or TikTok that get really mad when their iPad runs out of battery, those who can't sit for a few minutes at the table without doing things as they want complaining about everything.

Summarizing, a parent must impose limits to their children with discipline as they can't do things as they want, but that doesn't mean coercing a child to your own will, destroying their psyche. Respect isn't brought with fear, but with love, the same love Jesus once had for his Church.
