Iām a trans Christian and I most def agree! I personally donāt like it when Pastors or Bishops try to push Christianity on people who simply donāt believe in it. I feel like the moment of silence could be used to show respect (like school pew pews or fallen soldiers) if you donāt pray. And if you do pray (for any religion), thatās also a given time if wanted.
Iām mostly referencing how their push on healthcare aims to have people denied healthcare because of their āreligious beliefsā, as well as the antivaxx, no blood transfusion, no GAC, and no abortion nonsense. If they want their crackers and prayers, thatās fine. But their beliefs need to be kept out of other peopleās healthcare.
I hate the way itās framed (mainly for kids to pray), but from a purely scientific standpoint, I think itās great to kind of āforceā kids to be completely silent and alone with their thoughts for a few minutes every day, especially the younger ones. Kids donāt know how to be bored and under stimulated anymore, to no fault of their own. I think it helps a tiny bit at least with that.
You literally judge one of Gods children, and yet you call yourself a Christian? Who are you to say being trans was not Godās plan for us? If all my life Iāve felt trans, what makes you so certain it was not God who made me this way in the first place? We are not rejecting His design, we are honoring the way He created us. We were created trans, that is His design.
His plans have been corrupted my friend. I also have plenty of feelings and desires that are not of God. Itās not out of judgement but out of love that Christians call out these sins, because they draw you away from God. I have sins I struggle with myself, and Iām not better than you because sin is sin, there arenāt categories to which sin is worse than the other in the eyes of God. Itās just sucks that Christians donāt articulate that well and choose to take the āholier than thoughā approach
I didnāt mean one is less bad than the other, but that both separate us from God. I donāt think assault and a murder should have the same punishment on earth, but in the context of God and heaven, anything short of perfect is insufficient. Judgement and eternal consequence are two different things. Even those who believe in Christ will be judged for all their sins, and God will deliver them the just punishment or revenge they deserve. Sorry if that wasnāt clear.
No, thatās what you meant. News flash- āperfectionā is not a thing. Your book makes just about everything a sin when you actually read through every single page of it. ā⦠sin is sin, there aren't categories to which sin is worse than the otherā¦ā was pretty clear on your part. Good to know that Sallyās ear piercings are going to put her right next to hitler in hell.
Exactly sin is sin in the fact that itās all separating from God, regardless of the extent or ālevelā of sin. There arenāt categories of sin in the sense that even if they are big or small, they draw you away from God. That doesnāt mean that they are all equally as bad, just that they are all not perfect. Again, Iām sorry if my wording confused you. That is what I meant.
Also, Iām pretty sure ur confusing ceremonial law with moral law. Like how Leviticus talks about not wearing cloth of two separate material. Itās important to read in context. Those laws donāt apply to Christianity because Jesus came and fulfilled that those laws. We still live under moral law like the 10 commandments etc. And yes, since we continuously choose to sin, we can only be perfected through faith in Jesus.
