@rabbriansamuel Galatians 5:2-3
Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.
@grayday08@AuthorPeterPike@rabbriansamuel Yes, it’s forbidden for reasons of unity and helping some believers (e.g., traumatized ex-pagans) to uphold their personal convictions - not because the food defiles. The Bible explains the rationale specifically.
@AuthorPeterPike@rabbriansamuel I agree with you, this verse straightforwardly states that food does not defile. Paul’s discussion of food sacrificed to idols seems to align with your interpretation too. Anyone who doubts that Jesus fulfilled the Mosaic law should consider Paul’s teachings on circumcision!
@DaveBl4ck@defense_of_fam Men being subject to anti-discrimination laws is worse than literal sex trafficking? Thanks for illustrating how egregious the double standards are.
@conservmillen Exactly. Why are they pushing so hard for her to give up a key piece of her husband’s legacy? It’s ghoulish, and it suggests she’s over the target.
@Richerd1378272@AndyMasley Indeed, but it sounds like it’s only a problem because their water contained these contaminants to begin with… the system shouldn’t be so brittle that getting a fraction of the supply returned with less water but the same amount of contaminants breaks things
@Mark_Wilson_25 I find it telling that when we disagree with our own political leaders, we don’t also say: our country should no longer exist, we should be disenfranchised, lose our property, become refugees. BUT WE’LL SAY IT ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE
@curry_boz That it idealizes emptiness and focuses a lot of process around emptying oneself… hard to understand, & it seems like a lot of followers fall into materialism (saying this as a fashion hobbyist, I’m in no position to judge, I’m interested in your perspective on why this happens)
@MeghanMcCain I keep seeing comments badmouthing her for:
- caring about her husband’s legacy
- expressing affection towards family friends
- her personal style
Persecution is real, however one tries to cover it with an alternative explanation
@HustleBitch_ She looked like she expected affection and got disappointed when he kept staring at the camera and didn’t notice her. That’s not contempt.
