I am thankful that God never looks to my righteousness as the basis for dealing with me. If He did, I would have long been condemned, and rightly so under His perfect justice. That is why the gospel means everything to me. God perseveres with me, continually renewing my heart by His Spirit. His love never ceases to pursue me because Christ, in His grace, gave Himself for me on the cross. There is nothing in all the world more precious, more comforting, or more glorious than the love of Christ.
omo this is actually a huge issue.
it’s why statements like “they know what they are doing” exists, you just assume the next person is in on the trend of never saying what they mean
If you're a Christian who struggles with pornography and sexual immorality in general, here is something to help you along in your good fight against sin.
Praying it helps you.
This is such a stupid & pathetic argument. People know Jesus didn't list every moral ought, but He taught us how to think about ethics and virtue. You don't get a free pass to boil cats alive because Jesus never forbid it. We use the guidance of the Bible to know that is wrong. Likewise, the guidance of the Bible also teaches us abortion is wrong because it is wrong to murder an innocent life. Leftists want to reject basic reasoning skills when it comes to the topic of abortion, and hide behind these pathetic arguments, so they can justify murdering babies in the womb. It is not only stupid, it is also evil. @jamestalarico
Let me be honest. I wanted to stay Muslim so badly.
Not even because of God at first, but because of the life attached to it.
My dad’s businesses were waiting for me. Signed and ready.
My mom’s community. Doctors, lawyers, politicians. Connections everywhere.
Success was laid out in front of me.
There was even an arranged marriage lined up. A doctor. Beautiful future. House. Wedding. Stability.
All I had to do was say one sentence:
“Yeah, I still believe.”
That was it.
Keep the money.
Keep the family approval.
Keep the life.
But here’s what ruined it for me:
I could not unsee Jesus.
Once I really read the Quran and compared it to the Gospel, I couldn’t force myself back into pretending.
And honestly, knowledge becomes heavy at that point.
Because I didn’t leave Islam to rebel.
I left because I could not betray what I believed was true.
No business opportunity, no relationship, no comfortable future was worth denying the King who gave His life for me.
So yeah, my life would have been easier if I stayed.
But when Jesus says, “I am the way,” you don’t answer with, “But the other path feels safer.”
You pick up your cross and walk.
I’m led to pray this for you 🫵 :
Let the spirit of heaviness be lifted off you, and let a garment of praise and joy rest upon you.
I separate you from every negative spiritual influence causing you to weep and mourn without cause.
Let your heart be lifted, in Jesus name!
To be able to have civil dialogue with people you vehemently disagree with is a sign of epistemological humility.
And one of the easiest ways to do this is to avoid assuming motives. Attack the issue not the man.
It’s always been a personal value of mine to have friends…
@Faladynamite This is wrong.Nobody is hating paul. It more like is this what God has from the onset of his creation? Did God create women to be a subject of ridicule in the sense of having no opinion for themselves. Honestly, the above stance is so flawed and im so sure paul is disappointed
