Another “I want a man who’s doesn’t vape/smoke” But I’m going to put pictures of me holding a cigarette or vape on my dating profile….. and then bitch when creepy crack head Brady likes me. You attract what you put out. Yes it’s your choice but as someone who doesn’t drink often, I’m not liking someone who 3-4 of their photos have alcohol in them……
Well now you’re talking about OnlyFans which is outside the scope of your original complaint (which is just bikini pics). A pic in a two-piece swimsuit isn’t always inherently sexual (unless she frames it that way). But tell me. What do you have a problem with? Let’s level set here.
Just because you’re in touch with your sexuality doesn’t mean you’re a sinner or not Christian :) Church teaches us not to speak about that kind of thing. Posting a pic in a bikini isn’t always about just seducing weak-willed individuals. Sometimes people like the way they look. It’s like, if you lost 200 lbs, you’d post a progress pic too, right? And it’d probably be sexy too. Are you trying to get likes or make money off others? Probably not, right? You just like how you look
And I’m not saying all bikini pics aren’t sexual either. There are def girls who post thirst traps on purpose 😂 But as someone who was raised Catholic, I don’t judge. I’m not supposed to. They might be “sinning” in a way, but I’ve done so many other sins of my own that it doesn’t make sense for me to look down on them
And you gotta understand, there’s a lot of cultural context to this sort of thing. It’s not just “virtue vs sin.” A woman doesn’t always have to cover up in order to find a good Christian husband. Hell, I’m sure her good Christian husband is out there shirtless somewhere, also looking sexy as hell 😂 He’s not selling himself or degrading himself, or being any less Christian because of it
But the principle is the same, isn’t it? Because there really are purists out there who have a problem with innocent, non-sexualized bikini pics, and the same principle applies. Going to church and posting sexy pics aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive :) One can look good, one might even say sexy, and have a god-fearing husband 😆 You just gotta avoid the men who think you’re a ran-through whore for posting sexy pics lol
And from a woman’s perspective, if you’re told your whole life that your worth is closely linked to your physical appearance (which is true for a lot of women), and you start to think you look good, it can understandably be confusing when church tells you to be modest but society wants you to show what you got. This is what i mean when i say there are other cultural pressures outside the church. It can often be confusing for young women who are in their physical prime.
And finally! Even if you have a problem with Christian girls making thirst traps, we’re not here to judge. I’m sure you have sins that they’re not committing, too — we don’t have any moral high ground to stand on. We have no right to say who’s a “true” Christian and who isn’t. Because if sin makes you not a true Christian, then none of us are Christian at all 😳
I’m not even talking about sins you accidentally commit :) I’m talking about sins that you know are wrong but do them anyway. Whether it’s gluttony, or wrath, or lust, or whatever. The point is, we’re not “above” these people in any moral way, and to think so is itself a sin 😳 But hang on. What’s the issue here? Is it the fact that these supposedly Christian girls are posting thirst traps? Or the fact that, in your mind, they’re not admitting the hypocrisy? I think we’ve touched on both
I know your initial post was about the strange contrast between a supposedly Christian girl and the act of posting thirst traps (which we’ve already determined are two acts that can coexist). But are we saying that the true problem lies in her denial of this phenomenon? Because doing something and acknowledging it are two different things.
