That previous post you respond to has a point. Why Christmas is honored is because Christ by his coming changed the course of history.
Look for the seeds of a spiritual revival to take place on the ruins of the sexual revolution.
Harsh, but I think also true.
I admit that a lot of men need to improve their approach to life. The stereotype of the Millennial hipster male is not a good model, and the problem is older than the Millennial generation. A lot of men are not real men anymore, and this is bad.
But I feel over and above any problems on the male side of the equation, women over the past 100 years have gone down a very, very bad path. I’m not sure I know any happy women. They all seem bitter, angry and resentful. In large part they always get what they want. But they want the wrong things and life just makes them more and more miserable as they get more and more of what they think they want.
But I think it is a very hard sell to convince women that they would be happier if they settled for significantly less.
>Or are you claiming that Christ was in favor of mass slaughter, the enslavement of subject populations, etc.?
What evidence do you have that he was not? I’m an expert on the bible and I don’t know of a single prohibition that Jesus put on warfare. Christian certainly had no issues continuing the normal brutal nature of war.
It sounds more like your repeating the leftist hippy Jesus BS.
>That previous post you respond to has a point. Why Christmas is honored is because Christ by his coming changed the course of history.
The nature of warfare did not change until 1648. Crediting Jesus for a short lived change 1600 years later is silly.
No. Hes the same as He doesnt change.
Factually incorrect.
The nature of warfare did not change until 1646 AD, on November 7th, at 4:45:16.034 AM.
The relevant laws for human behavior were were revealed via Jews and enumerated and explained in the Seven Laws of the Children of Noah. Most laws of the Old Testament were intended to apply strictly to Jews as explained to them.
The way to determine if a religion or a belief is valid: imagine a world in which everyone followed it faithfully. Would that world be an ideal place to live in?
Christianity: overwhelmingly yes.
*slam: absolutely no. It would be a violent, drab, miserable hellhole of rape, murder, violence and death. Lo and behold, that is what all muzzy countries are!
Parents need to protest Planned Parenthood in classrooms K-12...in both public and some private schools.
Having Planned Parenthood in your kid’s classroom is like having the monster Harvey Weinstein sizing up your kid for his piggish sex games.
Planned Parenthood’s “Family Life” curricula is the methodology to soften up young women to accept sexual assault.
Planned Parenthood’s school methods are shockingly like the forced perversions Weinstein foisted on young women.
Planned Parenthood even outfits the targets with birth control to get them ready to be weinsteined.
Second it.
Just ignore the posting troll.
In light of this post, it seems maybe the Amish are onto something...
The way its looking, the Sexual Revolution that started in the 1960s will end with women walking around in Burkas.
And God has been around forever.
This universe is 13 billion years old.
When did forever begin and did he wait a long time before creating this universe?
Did he create others??!
I go about my day and never think of the STAGGERING questions that are out there.
The answer may seem obvious but not what most people think. It's very possible the answer is we would not be here on the internet asking this question because we as a species would have been extinct many thousands of years ago. All of man's sexual behaviors both moral and immoral serve a purpose. Our basic programming says do it, often and with as many as possible. Our higher level programming moderates the former. The balance of the two ensure we survive. That's my take on it anyway.
Was the father responsible for the actions of his son? Obviously not legally, and there wasn't much he could do about his ditzy ex who wanted to date and shoot and look cool. But there's no other way that tragedies like CT can be prevented. Someone must take responsibility for those situations, and like it or not, he was the one.
George Washington was out riding the countryside and doing surveyor work at the age of 16!!
I hardly trust a modern-day 16 year old to cut my grass properly!
I hear that.
The single mother explosion has made it even worse.
Men raised without a pop, it can work, but maybe 1 out of 5 times.
When did forever begin and did he wait a long time before creating this universe?
Because there is no "time" in Heaven, only the "now". God created time for our universe, not His own.
Are the new testament moral beliefs different than the old testament?
No, there is no "rule change" for God's perpetual morality. We humans have always had a conscience and knew what was wrong. The New Testament merely declares the standards that we should have held all along. For example:
Why then, they asked, did Moses order a man to give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away? Jesus answered, It was because of your hardness of heart that Moses permitted you to divorce your wives; but it was not this way from the beginning. Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman, commits adultery.
