@TrevorSheatz And he who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery. Luke 16:18

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)

Carl Jung was not playing around when he wrote: “No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown allies will come and seek you.”

@atKensai @darwintojesus All scandinavian nations literally have a christian cross on their flags and we're talking about them being atheist 🤣

@darwintojesus Begging the question. Pressing both is fine, Euthyphro dilemma proves morality exists independent of God. Secular countries (Nordics) are happiest, safest, least corrupt. We create our own meaning.

Are Nordic countries better than religious countries because of their atheism? To analyze this, let’s just grant the data. Why not. Let’s say Nordic countries are filled with self reporting atheists, and they’re flourishing materially and socially. Even granting all of that, I think the logic behind the argument is flawed for the following reasons. Firstly, we already have clear examples of countries that became explicitly atheistic and did not* flourish. In fact, they became far worse. This happened in places like Russia, China, and Cambodia under explicitly atheistic regimes. And we know life became worse because people were literally DYING trying to escape. Entire populations suffered, starved, and were oppressed. Now of course someone will say, “Well, that was authoritarianism, not atheism.” But that actually proves the deeper point. The absence of religious belief by itself does not in any way guarantee human flourishing. Simply removing religion does not automatically produce stable, prosperous, or humane societies. Imagine saying, “Cheating on your spouse leads to flourishing relationships,” and you’re pointing to 4 out of 20 guys whose marriages survived their cheating, while ignoring the overwhelming number of catastrophic failures. That would be a terrible argument. Yet that’s exactly the logic being used here. It’s cherry picking. 🍒 Secondly, just because people in Nordic countries report that they’re not religious, that doesn’t mean their culture, institutions, or moral framework emerged from atheism. Quite the opposite in fact. These societies were shaped for centuries by Christian moral assumptions, legal traditions, and views of human dignity. Their social trust, stability, and ethical norms did not arise in a vacuum. So are these societies flourishing because of atheism, or are they flourishing while still operating on moral and institutional foundations that were built long before secularization? Imagine someone claiming veganism makes people healthy, but all the “vegans” grew up eating meat their entire lives, developed their bodies under those conditions, and only recently stopped. Are they healthy because of veganism, or because of the foundation laid before they became vegan? The same question applies here. Thirdly, why is it specifically Nordic countries that are thriving? Why not all atheistic countries universally? Could it be… geography? Culture? Historical stability? Low corruption? Strong institutional trust? Could it be the homogeneity of the population? If you took a completely different population, placed them in the same conditions, and made it so they identified as atheists, would the outcome be identical? That seems extremely unlikely. As atheists themselves often say, correlation is not causation. Simply pointing to a successful secular society does not prove secularism caused the success. Lastly, if atheism is truly the cause of their flourishing, we should expect to see clear evidence that these countries improved as they became less religious. Did crime decrease as atheism increased? Did depression decrease as atheism increased? Did social stability increase as atheism increased? Or are we simply observing societies that became prosperous first, and secular later? Pointing to a snapshot of a society at one moment in time proves nothing about what caused its condition. The deeper issue is this: Even if atheism and prosperity coexist in Nordic countries, for now, that does not show atheism explains prosperity. At most, it shows that prosperity can coexist with widespread secular belief for a time. And until someone can isolate atheism itself as the causal mechanism, rather than the countless historical, cultural, economic, and institutional factors at play, the argument simply does not succeed.

@rising_serpent High IQ Unc didn't predict the internet 😮‍💨

Uncle Ted was a baller with 167 IQ. His manifesto reads like a prophecy today.

After Epstein, you're free to wonder: Is it at all possible that our beloved traditional fairytales about wolves, witches & vampires hunting/eating/drinking the blood of children, virgins & Christians in forests, lodges & castles, mostly emerging in European heartlands, are actually twisted survivor/witness accounts from our deep past? Spun into ridiculous caricatures to discredit them, and seeded widely as soft disclosure so that similar future testimonies sound like... well, fairy tales? For how many centuries have we REALLY been living through this Satanic nightmare?

@YazanXBT Imagine writing a post and then deleting it, as if nobody is going to screenshot it 🧠📉 Top Goy

Andrew Tate thinks it's a flex to live like Epstein He even sounds jealous that he missed out on it I'm glad that 99.9% of us will never be pedophiles, the world is already fucked beyond imagination I'd rather live an honest life than be a "powerful" twisted fucktard

@RealBenLuigi In the past i didn't understand what's the point of being a monk, but when i read history i realized they laid the foundation for science and invented universities. Christianity built our civilization

I wonder why young men are fleeing effeminate pastors and female “extraordinary ministers” for this

@IMPERATORAUS Today's organizing principles are people like Taylor Swift who are worshipped on concerts. Age: 36 Husband: none Children: none Ex-Boyfriends: 14 Body count: 📈 Cats: 3 Now do you see why so many modern women connect with people like her?

If we discovered that God didn't exist, I'd still choose to live as a Christian because, as an organising principle, it is the most conducive to individual and collective human flourishing.

@timelessfaithh How can someone be a fan of shapiro? Clearly he's on the on the internet only to benefit his jewish tribe on our expense

I used to be a fan of Ben Shapiro. I am no longer a fan of Ben Shapiro. And it has nothing to do with Israel or Judaism.
