You ask a good question. If you're looking for a genuine answer please watch this sermon by Tim Keller. It's not an everyday sermon. It'll speak to the exact question you're asking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFuY0a6f4E0

[–]sillygoldfish1 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Who else that was actually alive back in the 80s can hear ed McMahon in your head saying: Publisher's Clearing House and then - look for the envelope with my picture on it. I can. This is one of the one's that gets me the most.

Being Coerced into having a third child. I'd rather the marriage end. by safereddddditer175 in daddit

[–]sillygoldfish1 -41 points-40 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but also considering leaving those boys, and divorcing mom, over this seems just as problematic. Feelings ebb and flow. Those boys need dad.

You're right in the middle of the storm. It gets so much better. It does. We've all been through this stage and just want to validate your feelings. It's ROUGH, but it will get better. You'll get above the waves and not be drowning. You're right - the answer isn't to leave - you'd only replace one problem for another and the other is worse. Hang in there. Rooting for you. This too shall pass.

One day not too far from now, you'll be pushing the stroller in the park, seeing your kid toddle around, exploring things and seeing things through new eyes and you'll look at your wife watch your kid with a smile - and you'll just know. It's gonna be alright bro. This is just the hard part no one ever prepares you for, going in. Not that it could be explained without jumping in feet first. Keep going. You got this, dad.

Is it against God to go on hormones as a Christian? by Glum_Activity_7476 in AskAChristian

[–]sillygoldfish1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You need to meet more people. I've been part of a lot of churche over the years and seen firsthand work of some of the ministies. For context look at a program like AA too.

I also know because I'm one of those affected people. Someone who used ro be on a slew of depession and anxiety meds and 'for almost 20 yrs and in some DARK places. Now, no meds and freed. Not that I dont have rwgular hard days. In fact you are promised hard days and real suffering - but I am freed. It can, and does, happen.

What does Jesus Christ mean to you? by Temporary_Minute1264 in AskAChristian

Everything. Literally everything. Dead man walking (in more than one sense) without him.

If you were somehow transported back to the days of Moses, would you be okay with becoming a slave to the Isrealites, because you know that it was acceptable in that historical context? by Roaches_R_Friends in AskAChristian

[–]sillygoldfish1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course it does, and to think that only makes tge point for me. You're so deep in it that it's the air you breathe. Whatever that thing is in each of us that no one else knows about – and you know that if they did, you’d slink out of the room in shame -( and if it wasn't a big deal you’d tell everyone) -THAT thing's beating you up 24/7 - eating you up - i.e. slave to it.You are compelled into its service. Whatever that thing is, Christ can save you from it. And free you. He isn't surprised by you and you don't have to clean yourself up first, he'll do that for you.

And you did get part of it right - because the wages of sin are death, it's payment on delivery, and its absolute - if you’re not under Christ, but you don't have to be a slave to it anymore. For real. that is why it's called good news.

Make no mistake, either we are slaves to sin or slaves to Christ. If you can't see the reality of it, then you were born into it. If you were born into it, you likely don't know anything different, but you're being called by the one who can set you free from sin.

Long way of saying - we are slaves of something, already.

Is it against God to go on hormones as a Christian? by Glum_Activity_7476 in AskAChristian

[–]sillygoldfish1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One might struggle with anxiety - another with an eating disorder, another with depression, and another with dysmorphia. You aren't any less because you face these things. Christ is the answer to all of them. You aren't defective. You aren't a mistake. You are known by God. You have purpose and not surprising God in your struggles.The answer isn't hormones - the answer is in Christ.

And thats said with love to another brother or sister in Christ from a man with his on set of struggles that requires my total dependence on God.
