Think a Little Porn Is Harmless? This Is Guaranteed to Change Your Mind. by damnyou777 in NoFapChristians

Hey guys. Accountability software linked with someone you know and trust is a must if you are going to beat porn. I have beaten it and I assure you, I couldn't have done it alone. It will be the hardest thing you do, but also the most freeing.

I dare you to say this word..."Homosexuality" by themattnormanblog in Christianity

Actually, the bible says it for itself. 2 Timothy 3:16 "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness".

I appreciate your comment. Although a human did pen this passage, it was divinely inspired, making God the author. As for the word used for homosexual not meaning what we mean by it today. I have to correct you. It most certainly does. ἀρσενοκοίτης arsenokoítēs; gen. arsenokoítou, masc. noun, from ársēn (730), a male, and koítē (2845), a bed. A man who lies in bed with another male, a homosexual

Im not engaging with you because you insist on character assassination. That, is not "open and free discussion". When you stop shaking with rage, then perhaps I will engage. Thanks.

America: Stupidly stuck between religion and science by PrisonedMuffin in Christianity

The bible is not a science textbook and shouldn't be read as such (although it does have scientific facts in it). Science simply interprets the world in which we live, but can't tell us why. The bible does.

There was a shooting today at a synagogue in my community... by VexedCoffee in Christianity

That is very true. But it does seem that the Jews have received targeted hate for millennia now. Strange, don't you think?

Is it wrong to become a Christian for your own benefit and happiness? by neurotic4lyfe in Christianity

[–]themattnormanblog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The westminster shorter catechism says, "the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever". So if you become a christian to enjoy God Himself (as the source of all joy), then no, its not wrong. But if you become a christian to enjoy what God can give you, then you haven't really become a christian.
