@EcciusMaximus Yes, Catholic girls are wonderfully obedient to their masters, unlike those Protestants.

"…..can't even count how many men I've been with..."
Young men, this is what awaits you if you convert to Protestantism!

For those that are claiming that a repentant whore is marriage material, let @RaymondFava of @EvangelicalDW introduce you to Shannon Harris.
Ex-wife of Josh Harris (“I Kissed Dating Goodbye”), Shannon’s premarital sexual degeneracy was discussed openly in his follow-up book: “Boy Meets Girl.”
During the courtship process, Shannon admitted to Josh that she had been sexually active in the past. Josh presented this confession of sin as a necessary step for Christian couples. But the damage done by her promiscuity ran much deeper than he knew at the time.
In Red Pill terms, she was an Alpha Widow who could not get over her prior lovers, to the point where she was lusting after other men on her own honeymoon. We know this based on a recent memoir that she wrote, post-divorce.
The point is that it’s extremely risky to marry a woman with a past like this, even if she has seemingly repented. Today, Josh and Shannon have shipwrecked both their faith and their marriage. Be very cautious, brothers!

@TomHicks2LCF Psalm 51 says nothing about Bathsheba. Quit making up your own Bible.

David wrote Psalm 51 about his past sin with Bathsheba to be sung by all of Israel over and over.

Oh heck no. The Bible requires men to be virgins as well. That’s the standard. If they fall short of that standard, they are just as in need of repentance and grace. What is going on here?
Caleb Kitson@RealCalebKitson
Female virginity and male virginity are not even close to the same. Science and more importantly the Bible bear this out. I have no issue with men marrying women who have had sexual intercourse with men before their husbands. I do take issue with acting like virginity is meaningless and not of great value and difficult to maintain.

@BenZeisloft There is no law in the Bible against a woman sleeping around. You people just make it up as you go along. If anyone wants details on biblical law, they should ask Jews. myjewishlearning.com/article/jewish…

@megbasham The Bible does not require people to be virgins. Many Christians were slaves and couldn't even regulate their bodies. You people just make this stuff up as you go along.

@DeanAbbott What the what? Evangelicals very commonly declare their virginity publicly and proudly. I can think of similar statements by Billy Graham, Elisabeth Elliot, Amy Grant, and others.
English
Most people think evangelicalism is conservative but, in fact, large swathes of it are radically anti-traditionalist and, in their way, liberal.
Many evangelicals see traditional social virtues like modesty, propriety and prudence as hindrances to the practice and proclamation of the gospel and therefore congratulate themselves on violating these norms if, in their minds, doing so "brings glory to God".
That's exactly what's happening here. A man and his wife throw sensitive personal information into the social media gutter without thinking for a moment about dignity or social appropriateness and then, when people object, claim that people who value the social virtues they've discarded care less about God.

My wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin. She was then radically born-again. Committed to church, evangelized constantly, Puritan books in her bedroom, prayer journals, grief over past sexual sin, etc. We got to know each other well for over a year, dated for four months, engaged for two and a half, and didn't sin sexually with one another. Our first kiss with each other was at the altar on our wedding day (reaction pic attached!). We've been married for over five years now, and she's been the most wonderful and godly wife, mother to our three children, and homemaker you could imagine. She's more pure than most virgins, as biblical purity has less to with past sins (though they certainly matter) and more to do with one's current posture of the heart and daily decisions to honor the Lord (Matt. 5:8). We're far too quick to forget the story of the woman labeled as a known "sinner" (likely a prostitute) in Luke 7:36-50 who was washing Jesus' feet with her tears while kissing them too. The Pharisees were shocked that Jesus let a public sinner do this. Jesus responded with a parable about debts being forgiven and ended with this powerful conclusion: "Her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little" (Luke 7:47). Everyone seems to highlight the benefits of virginity, and it certainly is a blessing. But we forget to highlight the benefits of being forgiven much as well. My wife knows the depths of Jesus' forgiveness more than most people, enabling her to more easily live out a life of passionate love for her Savior. A woman or man's past sexual sin matters. But what matters far more when it comes to deciding who to marry is if the person is truly born again, if their repentance is real, if they truly have a heart for Christ, if they truly follow Jesus and obey his commands. "God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world — what is viewed as nothing — to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence. It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us — our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, — in order that, as it is written: 'Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'" (1 Cor. 1:27-31) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!" (2 Cor. 5:17)
English
@J_K_Wood Crazy that you define "marriage" in terms of sexual situations you pruriently inspect. It's as if it's not even about finding and living with a compatible person.
English
Male gay relationships look nothing like heterosexual marriage:
50% of are “open”
52% have had group sex.
37% have had 50+ partners.
24% have had 100+ partners.
49% say their last one-time partner was a stranger.
Can’t compare.

This result replicates in American data: The marriages that were most likely to end in divorce were female-female followed by female-male, and then by male-male.

I just saw the much talked about film “Project Hail Mary.” It's very entertaining and uplifting and features a fine performance from Ryan Gosling. But what most intrigued me were the powerful Christian themes at play in it. The title, of course, refers to the Hail Mary pass in football, since the adventure undertaken is a fairly desperate attempt to save the planet. But it also becomes eminently clear that the reference is not just to football but to the Blessed Mother herself, for the Gosling character is undoubtedly a Christ-figure. I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but it involves a willingness to sacrifice one's life utterly in order to deliver the entire human race from disaster. It is, of course, no accident that Gosling's character is called Ryland Grace, for throughout the movie, his presence and actions constitute undeserved favor to others. A particularly intriguing character in the film is a sober German scientist who relentlessly presses Grace to make the supreme sacrifice, even when he is unwilling. She represented for me the great moral demand that presses upon us throughout our lives, continually summoning us to self-gift. A last observation: Jesus had a second in command whom he called Peter (the Rock); Ryland Grace has a very unusual sidekick whom he calls “Rocky.” I'll leave it at that.
I know lots of people say that Christianity is in irreversible decline and that we are inhabiting, at least in the West, a post-Christian society. I'm not so sure. Like it or not, we remain a Christ-haunted culture—and a film like “Project Hail Mary” makes this clear.

@LilaGraceRose Reality check: The teachings of Jesus are not to get married and have children.

Yes, Christians have now turned the teachings of Jesus into getting married and having kids. They truly are shameless.

You can have a promiscuous past, as either a man or a woman, and then accept Christ, be transformed, build a life and habits of virtue, and become an amazing spouse and mother or father.

@Ogaman888 @SaoirseSinwar False. There is evidence in the article about Hitler's Christianity after his Jan. 1933 rise to power . Late that year, C.S. Lewis: “Did you see that he said ‘The Jews have made no contribution to human culture and in crushing them I am doing the will of the Lord.’”

John Boswell era católico y gay. Como historiador, trabajó para revisar la idea de que la tradición cristiana ha sido unánime en todo tiempo y lugar en su rechazo de las relaciones entre personas del mismo sexo (1/3).
Ernesto Reséndiz Oikión@eroerny
El 20 de marzo de 1947 nació John Boswell en Boston. Su obra Same-Sex Unions in Premodern Europe revolucionó la historiografía medievalista pues estudió las adelphopoiesis, bodas entre hombres bendecidas por la Iglesia primitiva. Michel Foucault lo elogió. 📷 Robert Giard, 1988.

@matthewschmitz Paglia is grossly misquoted here. She made no reference to the Bible—the article is lying. Rather, Paglia was encouraging free-thinking people to leave organized religion, which she found a relic of the past intended to constrain human imagination.

Camille Paglia once asked Christians who endorse progressive views on sex, “Why remain Christian at all?”
The same question can be asked of James Talarico.

@JosephKahn Question: If I'm a 14-year-old girl do I tell my dad that I like Madonna?
English
My 14-year-old daughter does not know who Madonna is, yet she knows who Prince, The Beatles, and Michael Jackson are. There are a couple ways to look at this, but I'm going to single out my main theory - her audience that made her the biggest star in the world at her prime were two main groups: Girls and Gays. These two groups have the fastest generational turnovers. Every group revamps itself and sets up new icons, but girls switch teams with higher frequency. They dropped Elvis for the Beatles, the Beatles for the Stones, Bieber for Billie Eilish. They will decide someone is now old or not relevant while guys still listen to their Metallica Master of Puppets album. There are also internal dynamics where a girl does not want to listen to her mother's music but a boy thinks his father's music is cool. As to the Gays, pop culture is their Super Bowl and they're always looking for the next thing. Obviously I'm talking in generalities in every single person is their own snowflake, but that's my overall read on it. This group can ramp up heat on an artist and then in an instant move on to the next. For the record I love Madonna and she's a huge influence on my work. New generations will rediscover her eventually.

@AndrewZywiecMD Lewis was a propagandist playing to American Evangelicals, his only audience. The "saints" are fantasy hagiographies they didn't see as part of the religion.

I just finished reading CS Lewis's book Mere Christianity.
While the first 120 pages were all right, the final 120 pages were excellent.
He captures much of the Christian faith in a simple and attainable way.
Highly recommend.
