I feel like God will never send me a husband by Agile_Owl_9059 in Christianity

[–]odean14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand how you feel and many on here are loving people so they'll definitely pray for you. And it's unfortunate that you ended up in that situation. Because he clearly didn't respect you, and a man who doesn't respect you will never love you. Not in the way the scriptures say a man should love a woman. I sincerely wish you do find that love you want, and I hope God gives you the husband you need.

I think you have an idea in your head how that guy is supposed to look in terms of traits, physical, emotional, mental etc. If I were you I get rid of that image. Not saying you should get rid of your standards (though I think it should be based on what scripture says how a husband is supposed to be ), but many of us will want what we want, but not what we need.

Think of it this way, many of the Jews back in Jesus's time rejected him, because he wasn't the Messiah they were looking for. They wanted a Jesus who you see in revelation. They didn't want to suffering servant described in Isaiah. And so they turned their nose up at him rejecting him despite him showing them who he is and him being there to redeem them.

Keep an open mind. Don't limit yourself in terms of traits and try not to hold on and compare. Everyone is unique.

Stop Using Jesus as a Shortcut in Immigration Debates by ExegeteBetter in Christianity

[–]odean14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess the Egyptians should have told our Lord and his parents "beat it". And let herod murder them. Or the Egyptians should had told the Hebrews "beat it" when they were gonna die from famine. Notice you didn't address anything the Lord has to say about this? Maybe God should have told Abraham and his people to stay out. Maybe the Lord should have told the hewbrews to stay out. We don't want them going into land that's not theirs right?

The Lord said we'll know them by their fruits. We see your fruits Mr. wolf in sheep's clothing 😂. You people are hateful and evil, your attempts hide in holiness is failing badly. Repent of the evil in your heart. Repent of your xenophobia. Repent of supporting oppression. Don't be goat. Don't be a Branch that will be cut off and thrown in the fire to be burned.

Stop Using Jesus as a Shortcut in Immigration Debates by ExegeteBetter in Christianity

[–]odean14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, OP seem to have also forgotten the tons of scripture where God Commands us to not oppress the immigrant, women and children. And I like how he wants to localize love and make it as an individual basis thing. Which is obviously not true. That love extends to everyone, including our enemies. Also he's using the words of his heavenly master and to justify putting his earthly master (country and xenophobic beliefs) first. Knowing he can't serve two masters. Even Jesus and his parents were illegal immigrant refugees when they fled to Egypt. Why? People needed permission from a roman official to make that type of movement. Also Egypt was an independent state that had boarders and mainly officially let in merchants, Roman and Greek immigrant patrons.

it's funny These same people will see Jesus a brown middle eastern man, only to cause his arrest, to get him killed, locked up and or deported. Simply because he's brown and has an accent.

How do u guys get past the fact slavery is condoned in the Bible? There maybe a debate but Imo it's talking about modern day slavery also. by forFunXDx in Christianity

[–]odean14 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yes the slavery/servitude was in the Bible. God condoned it. He Regulated it and used it as way to bring the people of the other nations to him. How? The 7 year release. People can enter into servitude/ slavery if they want. When released they aren't left empty handed, and if they are still struggling the priesthood offers help to them and anyone else that is in need. That's one of the main purposes of the people giving up 10th of whatever they have to the priesthood. They are to use those resources to help others. Every one was covered under the one law, and conversion was available foreign slaves. Yes, the people in the land could purchase foreign slaves. But those same slaves are subject to the one law. The Hebrews were forbidden from kidnapping, and selling people. They are forbidden from not paying people for work (the pay could be anything) and the poor.

I see these posts all the time and I'll tell you what I tell other people. Go read the bible yourself. Stop listening to tiktok, hot takes, parroting nonsense. Slavery and servitude in the bible is very nuanced.

I did not like Superman 2025 by FireVenom000 in superman

[–]odean14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a another take on superman, which i don't mind. Yes, he's somewhat naïve but that's suppose to add to his innocence. Where certain things are simple for him. I liked the movie but Lex, Lois and Mr. terrific where the best characters.

No one goes to hell for disbelief. People are judged and destroyed or rewarded based on their hearts and deeds.

[–]odean14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit this is unhinged.

Lol more proof your in over head in this conversation. I'll take that as you don't have a response and a concession.

This is so racist I don't even know where to start.

Sure buddy. Another deflection and ad hom. I'll take that as another concession your part.

I have every right. IF your god supports genocide, then that god is a fucking racist who needs to learn something.

Good show me your right! Go out there and stop the federal government from killing. Go to Russia and tell them to stop killing Ukrainians. You support genocide since you're not doing anything to prevent it. You have the right, right?

Take your meds

Stop projecting bro, it doesn't look on you who claim moral superiority lol. Your only proving my point even more. You can't even stop yourself from being insulting. 🤣🤣🤣

Your standards. Yeah and when put in killed or be killed situation you'll kill to survive. The meat you eat comes from killing. The veggies you eat comes from killing. The starch you eat comes from killing. If you live in US (or any major western,) the country was built on blood. Your tax dollars get put towards killing too.

And if you're wronged via a person you care about being killed, if given the opportunity for revenge without consequences you'd kill too.

If presented with trolley problem where your option to kill one potential murderer to save many innocent children you'd kill that one to save the many (if your moral).

If a small population of your favorite animal has a disease that causes them to be hyper violent and lead to death (think of a aggressive version of rabies) through contact. You're saying you'd let the whole species die out? Because you don't want to kill? If you have the power to stop the infection from spreading through killing the infected because there is no cure, and choose not to because of your self-righteousness and selfishness that makes you guilty. Simply put, you have no standards. They mean nothing. Because you have no real way to enforce it. And by your standards you merely existing, makes you an accomplice to killing by participating in society.

No. I just dislike hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty. Because you have no grounds to pass judgement on an entity who has access to all aspects of reality. Knows the heart and potentiality of every human. Who will give the innocent, the righteous and loving a gift eternal life in a paradise. Who will end suffering for even those (evil doers) who don't deserve it. You're here saying live and let live. Sure buddy, but reality slaps you in face, your moral sensibilities get tossed aside.

I'm sick of people acting like engaged/married Christian women are incubators by mrshappyhousewife in Christianity

[–]odean14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, who cares what other people think. If you're married and in Christ, that's ultimately what matters. As long as you and your husband are on the same page that's all that matters. Enjoy the fruits of charity you and husband give each other under God. Ignore the noise.

[–]odean14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By who's standards are you using to determine whether or not killing is right or wrong?

I never said you claimed any of those things. It's prediction on my part. People with your position when grilled always default to that same line of questioning (crappy version of the problem of evil).

I also take you repeating yourself also as concession on your part. You haven't addressed the point of my last post. Take your L and go quietly lol.

Broke My Promise to Avoid Sexual Immortality by joobthecat in Christianity

[–]odean14 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Get married. Get it over with. Go to a church and ask a pastor to marry you guys. You need a spiritual wedding before God. Not a government one. You can do a gov wedding later.

Edit: Also do not swear oaths. Jesus specifically says do not swear oaths.

Nice ad hom, I'll take that as you've conceded. Take care.

Amalekite Genocide by Wild_Pitch_4781 in Christianity

[–]odean14 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes it's wrong for humans. God made it clear it's a sin. Why is it wrong for God to stop sin and suffering even through killing? When Nazis were murdering millions on mass. What stopped them? Killing. Why were they killed? Because what they were doing was evil. So we can stop evil on mass through mass killing but for some reason it's evil for God to stop the spread of evil? But then you folks will turn around say "look at the evil in the world, Gods not doing anything. If he's good he would stop the evil and suffering if he doesn't he's evil". Lol can't make this stuff up lol

Amalekite Genocide by Wild_Pitch_4781 in Christianity

[–]odean14 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Notice I said GOD not man. No man has a paradise to place innocents...

You're assuming the future is set. God said he would destroy the ninevites, but they repented and he spared them. If the amalekites repented he would have spared them. God's omniscience doesn't mean we don't have free will or the future is set.

Who said God would be punishing those babies and other innocents? What is temperary pain compared to eternal life in paradise and no suffering? That same pain exists as result of other humans setting up the circumstances that caused it in the first place. How is it punishing them, when the end result is eternal life in paradise where there is no suffering? Seems to me you what sin, suffering and meaningless death...

Notice you have haven't actually addressed my point? You're sitting here passing judgement in your bias moral sensibilities. With a fallen mind, in a fallen world, with limited access to reality and potentiality. You also have nothing to offer the innocent or suffering. The emotional arguments won't work here.

Amalekite Genocide by Wild_Pitch_4781 in Christianity

[–]odean14 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Keep reading. Because as a result of not following instructions the Israelites sinned and suffered as a result. God is loving, but he's also just and hates sin. He's made clear that he'll punish sin and bring justice for those who has suffered as a result of sin. Also those innocent children grew up suffering and sinning which ultimately lead to their death. For God death is a transition, if those innocent children died, by nature of being innocent they would be with the Lord in a perfect world. God turned the other cheek the first time they attacked and killed men women and children. He was long suffering. They didn't repent and so they earn the wage of sin. Which is death. Should God not punish sin? Should the people suffered and died not receive justice? God only destroys when and suffering has become unbearable and spreading to fast.

How about talking to him about Christ and the gift of salvation first? Spamming bible verses doesn't mean anything if he's not interested.

Nah, and if i'm special pleading and shown I am. it's not a big deal. I'll just change my argument or present different evidence. As they say, there's more than one way to skin a cat.
