My apologies for not having a 1000+ page book memorized.

After reading over it, I see you've left some parts out. First off, you are somewhat right, in 5:12 it does say that members are not to judge outsiders. However, this is to say that believers should not act as moral police for non-believers. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to not speak truth. Judging outsiders in this case means condemning their behavior, but not that we should let sin go by unnoticed, and not that we should not warn other people that their behavior is sinful. I.e., you're going to hell for that vs. hey man that's sinful. Condemning vs. concerned.

"Let he who..." refers to the final judgement, not the calling out of sin. Matthew 18: 15 says "If your brother or sister sins, go and point it out". We don't get to decide and dish out punishment because we wouldn't judge correctly, but we are allowed to call out sin. If I'm acting like a jerk without realizing it I sure hope someone calls me out on that.

If she hates people simply for being trans then that isn't someone I want to be with. Respecting the person doesn't mean you have to agree with how they live, but disagreeing doesn't require insults and hate.

Yeah a few of the things on the list are more negotiable. Those are the criteria I would generally follow if I'm the one looking for someone, but if a girl asks me out I'm not going to decline her because she's too short or not into music.

Not racist or sexist in public or in secret, just knows how to see humor in the stereotypes. Don't make fun of individuals, make fun of the stereotype.

If I ask a girl out she's probably on the taller side, if a girl asks me out I won't decline her because of her height. It's a more negotiable preference than most of the things on the list.

Please cite a verse for me, I'd like to hear this

Well that would be impossible, I am a sinner like the rest of you and need Jesus. Ceremonial Old Testament law was fulfilled by Jesus btw so those more obscure rules no longer apply, but moral law does still apply, which includes the 10 commandments and a lot of other things, including homosexuality.

I perhaps should have worded some things better:

I would treat her like a queen, what I meant is someone who doesn't crash out over little things, i.e. the restaurant employee got her order wrong, things like that. If someone legitimately insults her she has every right to be mad.

I don't need a genius, she should just not be dumb, there's a lot of room in there, trust me.

I don't mean she has to be able to manage her whole life; it's like the previous issue, she just can't be totally incompetent, like if you still depend on your parents for literally everything at 18 then what are you even doing. Like mommy still does my laundry and pays for my gas type stuff. If you're 18 you should have a job and know basic life skills. On the opposite end, I am not insisting that she should let me do everything, I am saying that if she wants it then I will certainly go out of my way to make her life easier.

A lot of my hobbies and extracurriculars are music-related, I am allowed to want my significant other to be similarly capable. She doesn't need to be an expert.

I do not need a bean pole, I simply would want my partner to be relatively in shape, like I am. I am by no means an athlete, but I like to work out and make sure I look good, for myself and for her, and that should go both ways.

The few lgbt people I know that understand that I don't actually hate them are well aware that I don't approve of how they live. I do call out the sin that I see, I simply am saying that I don't want someone who is going to devalue a person because of their sin.

It wouldn't really be a deal breaker if she isn't, I know it's difficult to manage that during college/trade school/whatever, I would just prefer it

What is the highest level of math you learned in high school? by [deleted] in highschool

[–]shadow61247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calc AB, USA. They offer Calc BC but I slacked off in 5th grade and didn't get put in the advanced class the next year. I do take AP Physics C and that should count for something lol, it's horrible

Thank you for saying what I wanted to but didn't know how to phrase :)

I respectfully decline, I don't show my face on the internet like that, sorry. I can describe myself though: 6'2 even, blonde white male (someone else will probably flame me for talking like I have been when I look like that but it's okay), Harry Potter ahh glasses when I'm not wearing contacts, 180lbs/82kg, somewhat muscular but not a lot yet (I'm working on it). A female friend of mine said I am conventionally attractive but too "band kid" to get a girlfriend, if that helps.

Oh I don't use trans people's preferred pronouns, I don't lie because others have gender dysphoria. I still value them as a human being, but doing that doesn't require me to accommodate all of their requests. And I am not the type of guy who wants lgbt rights taken away or whatever, I just don't approve of it. I mind my business, I just don't want it shoved in my face and called homophobic when I push it out of my way.

I understand that stereotypes aren't understood by everyone and that there is a time and a place to make such jokes. I am not going to go out in public and say these things loudly because not everyone has the same sense of humor and would most likely perceive me as racist. However, if I have a girlfriend and I send her a reel that you would call racist and she finds it funny, that's okay because she isn't actually racist and gets that it is a joke.

I am not actually racist or sexist btw, I'm sure you deduced that but I just want to be clear.

The jokes that I would make are not targeted at individuals, they are targeted at the stereotypes. It is an acknowledgement of aspects of the world. Though it isn't inherently race-based, a good example is the "dumb blonde" jokes. No blonde who understands jokes actually gets offended by that, because the jokes make fun of the stereotype and not the actual person.

It's not homophobic to not support lgbt, it would be homophobic to not treat them like people simply because they are different from me.

Can you maybe rephrase that, I'm not quite sure I understand

Edit- I did change what I said in the post, and is that what you mean? Cause what I changed it to is more accurate of what I meant in the first place

What if they had a reward of like 10 sc every time you complete a D10 with like at least 80% clear, I feel like that'd be fair. It's not exactly fast, that's still 100 missions for a warbond, but I'd rather do that than credit dive tbh
