Have a nice weekend, okay?

Do vtubers posting IRL pics ruin the immersion for you… or do you not care at all?

We’re happy when convicts in a prison repent and find salvation in god. But we also don’t throw open the doors of the prison the next day. What we do has consequences that are physical on the world we live in and on our souls. A good brother welcomes all who follows in Christ, but he is wise to not give his wallet to the one that was once a thief.

You’re treating forgiveness like it wipes the slate spiritually but still leaves people permanently disqualified relationally. That’s not how the Gospel talks about repentance. If someone has truly repented, they’re not “a person with a past who must pay forever” they’re a new creation. It’s fine if someone wants to marry a virgin. That’s a standard you can set for yourself I think it’s a good standard you should strive for that. But some people are called to marry someone who happened to live a previous life of sin. You’re talking about what people “deserve,” but Scripture is clear that none of us deserve anything before God. Everything we receive is by grace, not merit.

Virgins should be with virgins (male or female) "Born again" Christians likewise should be with "born again" Christians (male or female) If you're a virgin, have some standards for yourself and BE with a virgin. You are better off alone than to be with a girl who has had an extensive past. If you've been truly abstinent, then you deserve someone following the same path because it will work out better in the long term for both of you. If you are someone with an extensive past, you don't deserve to be with a virgin. Does this mean I think you don't deserve anything or you're not eligible for forgiveness? Obviously not, but you have paid the toll, and you need to pay the consequences for it.

Take away their options (OF and Fansly etc.) and bring back shame.

Can somebody please explain what’s the incentive of staying pure and chaste if there is no difference between a formerly promiscuous person and someone who guarded their chastity? How can anybody live righteously if they use mercy and forgiveness as a get out of jail free card?

@kenzietuff So nothing new?

I regret to inform you that they’re also blaming hatred of mothers and children on misogyny.

@LoudOutside Woman does this and millions of women will say she had a justification but if a man does it he’s an evil monster lol. Both are fucking evil and if you defend it so are you

Thoughts?

Before the resurrection of Christ all lived under the old law. She was considered righteous and pure in the eyes of god and the old law at the time she was chosen with her only sin being the same as the rest of us as descendants of Adam and Eve. She had not committed a sin with which she was made clean of under the old law and her obedience to it as well as being a sexually pure untouched woman at the time which she was chosen to bear the child from of Christ. Also nice goal post movement. attempting to deny that by mentioning rahab as directly contributing to the birth of Christ. Yes god did use her descendant to birth Christ, but he did not grant a non virgin formerly impure woman to specifically birth Christ. To try and include her into this discussion is to contribute the merits of an ancestor onto one’s descendants as if they were their own.

@Turtleshell187 @purpose127 @kangminlee The “logical conclusion tha descendants of a bloodline inherits the merits of their ancestors” was in fact not at all the point being made. The point as you will know is that God can redeem and use anyone. Besides, are you suggesting Mary didn’t sin?

God chose a virgin for the birth of the Messiah, not a redeemed harlot, for a reason

True, but spoken words are spent like breath without thought. The desperate will say anything if they think it might help whether they actually believe it or not. And that’s why so many Christian’s fight amongst each other today because it’s impossible to tell the sincere from the deceptively desperate. Balancing the practicalities of not being a fool conned easily by others while following in the faith is a seriously hard and narrow line to walk that a lot of times seems to just disappear completely.

The gospel message is hard for unregenerate minds because the sweet old lady who rejected Christ will go to hell and the serial killer who repents and believes will enter heaven because salvation depends on Christ alone. It’s a scandalous idea to the world and they will hate you for it.

Cool I suppose a repentant serial killer is suddenly a normal person then? What about convicted pedophiles? What about fraudsters should they be trusted with a church’s finances? All these can find true salvation in god yes but your a fool to trust them at all. Don’t blame men for looking at a former whore and politely declining making her his wife.

If you refer to someone by what they WERE BEFORE Christ rather than what they ARE IN Christ, you not only dishonor the work of Christ on the cross, you also that imply your salvation was somehow earned.

God knows the true heart. We on earth have to contend with what we know. And what we know is that she was a whore who has landed every whores dream, a good godly man that doesn’t judge her for her past whoredom. This is also the nightmare of any good father of a son, that his son will be so weak of spine to allow a whore to take his name and ruin him later, speaking loudly of her past whoredom while she introduces herself with the family name tainting it with her whorishness. God loves all who come to him but he also told the whore who came to him to go and sin no more, he didn’t invite her to travel alongside him or speak on his behalf.

There are a lot of pretenders to the faith out there with no real understanding of repentance, redemption, and becoming a new creation. Since they have never experienced it, they feel free to criticize others. We must pray for them. We must pray that someday, they too will know the joys of repentance, redemption, and becoming a new creation. It is a joy like no other and needs to be experienced to be understood. My 2 cents.

Since when do Christians NOT celebrate redemption and repentance? Some of the things I’ve seen this week are extremely disheartening. Throughout Scripture, we see God’s people redeemed and restored time and again: •David—adultery and murder. Forgiven (2 Samuel 12:13) •Thomas—doubt and unbelief. Restored (John 20:27–29) •Jonah—rebellion against God. Restored (Jonah 2:1–10) •Peter—denied Christ three times. Restored (John 21:15–17) •Zacchaeus—fraud and extortion. Saved (Luke 19:8–10) •Rahab—prostitution. Redeemed (Joshua 6:25; Hebrews 11:31) •Thief on the cross—criminal sin. Saved (Luke 23:42–43) •Woman caught in adultery—sexual immorality. Forgiven (John 8:10–11) •Paul—persecuted the church. Forgiven (1 Timothy 1:13–16) •Manasseh—idolatry and child sacrifice. Forgiven (2 Chronicles 33:12–13) Those are some pretty egregious sins, and yet we celebrate their testimonies. But when @TrevorSheatz shares the testimony of his wife, @AshleySheatz (who has her testimony pinned to her profile), professing Christians hurl insults and minimize the grace and love of our Savior. If you have a similar story and choose not to tell, that’s your prerogative. But this was their story and they’ve chosen to share what God has redeemed her from. It’s concerning to see people who speak of Christ’s grace, yet fail to reflect it in how they treat others.

Sexual acts start with stimulating the erogenous zones in a sexual context, whether that is done with the intent of acquiring orgasm or not is irrelevant. “Heavy petting” is a sexual act. Mutual masturbation is a sexual act. Oral sex is a sexual act. Voyuerism is a sexual activity though not explicitly a personal act. A sexually pure woman becomes impure the moment she goes beyond merely kissing and hugging. Willingly Enticing a man to commit a sexual act on her behalf is sexual impurity. I use this definition when I describe a virgin woman, because a woman may have never been penetrated in her vagina by a man’s penis but she can still be quite the whore.

Sexual purity needs to be taught more than virginity. The sexually pure are virgins. Virgins aren’t always sexually pure. “It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.” (1 Cor 7:1,2)

@Polybius77 @mindoverweaknes True, women should be seen and not heard. It’s the only way to have peace in one’s home when there’s a woman in it

@mindoverweaknes If that is what young men think marriage is about, they are heading for an empty life. You can’t win an argument with a woman; you can only lose. Especially if you think you have “won” on the basis of logic. ”Bro” needs to spend time talking to divorced fathers.

Bro cracked the code

@IvanJaros @mindoverweaknes SIMP

jocko willink has a good video about resolving conflict like this one. essentially never start opposing the other person. instead get on their side from the start, let them say what they want to say, name the issue, and just be their team member and ask them for solutions or what "we" should do about the problem and so on. it completely disarms them. in a good way. though i am not sure how that works if the problem is you specifically and not someone else.

Unfortunately I would say it takes longer, gotta wait for her to get the seven year itch so she finally shows the true colors before you determine she’s worth locking down. Other wise your setting yourself up to get cheated on and have half of everything you own snatched out from under you by someone who statistically nowadays only brought the value of accessible sex to the relationship (can’t/wont cook, clean, be supportive, pay for a damn thing, give respect, show appreciation, demands one way obsessive attention and validation for simply existing)

it does NOT take 3+ years to determine if that’s the girl you wanna marry

Locked her up being her handyman with no payment, paying for whatever date happened after on top, with no garuntee that his labor time and money will get him a second date? Your delusional and women with this mindset deserve to be single. Give as much as you get maybe you’ll keep a man then

I can’t even fathom how fucking stupid that guy was. She liked hi handy he is, invited him to her HOUSE, and he could’ve 100% locked her up by just doing it and being chill. I bet he could’ve made out and possibly even got to 3rd base if he played this chill as hell. But no… he went full retard 🤔

Dating in Denver is something. She needed a TV mounted in her apartment, so she asked her Hinge date to come over and help because he claimed to be “handy.” He asks to grab her boobs in exchange for the service and she declines. He turns around and walks out. 😂😭

@Ernest1592988 @ThoughtCrimes80 On a first date? Nope she’s a stranger she has to prove some shit too and if she can’t take th heat then she shouldn’t be dating

@ThoughtCrimes80 Just hang the TV. Prove your worth over time, and the rest will come.
