@silk_lilac@oliverburdick That's where semantics gets in our way. Some would say that if a man feels lust toward another man, he's gay. That stuff gets imprinted on a person's brain, especially things that happened in childhood. Such people cannot "stop being gay" by that definition.
@greg_hahn@oliverburdick Letting go of it relieves the struggle completely. Ask anyone who stopped being gay because they felt convicted, and it made their life infinitely better.
@Ihunanya_chi If those who have never heard go to heaven, it would be best if we kept the Gospel a secret—never tell anyone the good news, lest they reject it and go to hell.
@JaredCBurt It’s a terrible 2 part question. The first part is true. The second part needs context. Anthropomorphic language should not be taken literal. The error of univocity has lead to hard open theism and soft open theism (Provisionalism).
@dayyborr@DerronEShort The Bible is not the story of everyone doing the right thing. It's filled with examples of people doing the wrong thing. Solomon was disobeying God. (Deuteronomy 17:14-17)
Hey Brother Pastor, telling men to leave cheating wives while telling women to fast, pray, and stay with cheating husbands is a bunch of crap. Men are not polygamous by nature, they are polygamous by sin. God created man in His image, not Satan’s.
@MrandMrsDugger@luxemiaa I thought you Biblical Womanhood peeps believe the man is supposed to lead. In that view, he doesn't need her telling him what to do for her on Mother's Day.
Women need to understand that men aren’t mind readers. Did you use your big girl communication skills and tell him what you wanted for Mother’s Day? Or even give him a few options to choose from if you wanted to be surprised?
Not everyone’s love language is gifts or acts of service so if you don’t let him know what makes you feel loved, you can’t blame him when he doesn’t do those things. SMH 🤦♀️
Also, do you know what makes him feel loved, and do you do any of those things for him on Father’s Day? What about his birthday?
Maybe grow up and learn to communicate with your husband instead of complaining online to strangers. A good rule of thumb to live by in your marriage is to keep complaints and issues within your marriage—just between you and your husband.
I hope my husband had a very uncomfortable day at work today.
I hope all of his female coworkers asked what he did for me for Mother’s Day.
And I hope he had to tell them the truth.
Nothing.
No flowers.
No card.
No breakfast.
No last-minute grocery store bouquet grabbed on the way home.
Nothing at all.
Meanwhile, I am the mother of his children. The same children I carried, delivered, and continue to keep alive on a daily basis.
I didn’t even want anything extravagant. A handwritten card, a cup of coffee, or somebody else loading the dishwasher would have been enough.
Instead, the day came and went like it was a random Tuesday.
The most impressive part is that he genuinely seemed surprised when I was hurt.
So yes, I hope he was standing in the.......
Doug Wilson is not Trinitarian, in the proper sense: One God, three Persons who share all that it is to be God.
Here are eight ways Wilson denies full deity to God the Son and the Holy Spirit: 🧵
Marriages claiming 50/50 leadership are female-led marriages.
50/50 leadership doesn’t work.
There’s one CEO of a company, one POTUS, and one steering wheel in a car.
A marriage must have a head, and that head is the man.
I've done the research. Here's a list of men that #MAGA men are extremely jealous of. You'll know by the replies. 🚬

7. Mark Kelly
@j_zhong1611 A person might not believe in hell, either, but that doesn't make it any cooler.
What you doubt about my salvation is irrelevant to my secure place in Christ.
@DavidFischer Yes, I read the Bible at least 3 times a day. Normally I read NRSV or LSB. Sometimes I read ESV, CEB, NASB, CSB, or NKJV. I may read any of the current popular translations other than the KJV or NLT.
@DavidFischer The standard answer everyone has been taught to say is John, and all the parrots will say that.
But if the new believer is being taught Christian doctrine in a church, they should start with Psalms, and read it every day for.the rest of their lives.
