Want faith but are not convinced?

I wanted to make a post that will convince you to take the gospel more seriously. Watch all these videos in order. Take your time, it has enough evidence to convince me that Jesus was sent from our father in heaven to pay for our sins. Will update over time!

Fine Tuning of the Universe. 

Argument for God's existence (Scientific)

Argument for God's existence (Philosophical)

God's Moral Objectivity

Omnipotence is possible!

I also plan on making post to help understand what denominations in my assessment practice wrong teachings. Here

Noah was probably “white”, the romans were definitely white. I mean white people are Caucasian because they originated from the Caucasus mountains...which is very close to modern day Israel. Many Europeans, Arabs and semites share a lot of the same ancient ENF dna. Not that it matters in the end we are all one in Christ.

I’ve had it with Apple. I’ve had it with Google. I’ve had it with international communication infrastructure being controlled by USAmerican religious fundamentalists. And I can’t do shit about it, but sincerely, go fuck yourselves.

[that-catholic-shinobi]

Yea. Cause when I think of Apple I think of Christian Fundementalism

[greater-than-the-sword]

Nothing says “Christian fundamentalism” like collaborating with China to censor anything that doesn’t please their communist party

[revelation19]

Ah yes, the Christian fundamentalism of…

This is Tumblr in a nutshell. They are fighting phantoms all the time.

@ray-the-fae All of earth’s people have been colonized at one point or another in history so...I don’t get the point of bringing that up. This post was tagged under Christianity. I think I did use common sense. I am going to defend my beliefs as you do yours. Sorry If that offends you. I don’t think I will shut the fuck up. Tumblr is here so I can interact with any public post I wish. @ may not work it seems he blocked me.

Christianity

Why do most people on here who DM me to “debate” end up getting themselves mad and blocking me? I'm always the last man standing. Turning their logic against them just makes them implode. Its not everyone though I had some lovely back and forths here on tumblr.

Children are not replicas of you, nor an idealized version. You have a child to make a person, not to glorify yourself.

[cheifcornerstone]

Yes! I had children to glorify God not me!

I have a question, feel free to not answer this ask, but I’m going through a tough part of my faith and have been trying to understand and read the Bible to figure this out, anyway, is being gay really a sin?

I have thoughts both ways and I want to look at it in context and culture context of the time and understand what it means vs what it says. Ya know?

There are good points on both sides which is why it’s so hard to understand for me.

Anyway, feel free to ignore this because it is a hot topic and very controversial. I’m just not comfortable bringing it up in my Bible study group because that will definitely get me othered or kicked out…

I am sorry you have to go through that. Hiding ourselves feels wrong but I believe who you are attracted to is nobodies business but yours. However you should defend the truth during your bible studies despite what they think. We have scripture to back us up and even if they "other" you or kick you out that's ok. God's word is the truth and final authority. When it comes to homosexuality no one can call it a sin. Sin requires intent or action in order to have morality applied to it. Someone who is gay or queer is not actively sinning. So no, being gay is NOT a sin. However the bible is crystal clear when it comes to what kind of sexual unions are pleasing to God. Heterosexual marriages are the only marriages God deems good. Everything outside of that is sinful or what we ought not to do. We will continue to sin and we just have to be aware of what's right and what's wrong and repent. We are also called to struggle with it. Which if you are. Is totally fine. There is a gay woman who is amazing at talking about these topics on YouTube called Christ defender. www.youtube.com/c/christdefender You should check her out. I am a thief, adulterer, a blasphemer and deviant. I however put it all on Jesus Christ who paid for our trespasses because he loves us. I do not beat myself up for my sins or my sinful nature because I have faith. I just repent and speak to our father in heaven and ask him for more strength next time. TLDR: Being gay isn't sin no biblical proof homosexual acts however is sin. Just remember others sin all day everyday. Do not let it get between you and God. Thanks for asking and sorry for the late reply.

“A Christmas Prayer” by Robert Louis Stevenson

Loving Father,

“Help us remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and the worship of the wise men.

Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world. Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting.

Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings, and teach us to be merry with clean hearts. May the Christmas morning make us happy to be Thy children, and the Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts, forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus' sake. Amen.” 🙏

it's so funny to me when people dismiss religion as a crutch or some sort of pacifier. if you're capable of even thinking that, you've never truly submitted to faith. religion is a battle, every single day. you sacrifice for your principles, you police your behavior, you go the extra mile to do what's right. it's a constant effort. and we all fall short, yet we continue to try. because that's what it's all about.

it is a way of life that cannot be reduced to "a fairytale you tell yourself so you can sleep at night"
