Remember that the right person will never get tired of you even in the worst times
No, they will! But they’ll work through it, or walk away for a bit (i’m talking minutes to hours) and then come back.
People can love you and still need to get away from you for a bit. And there is nothing toxic about that — it’s good, in fact. It helps remind everyone involved that everyone has boundaries, and everyone needs time to themselves.
It’s okay. Calm down before you talk about something that made you angry while your loved one is sick. Be sure of what made you mad so you can discuss it together.
Love isn’t a one-way street, and it’s something that takes work. Part of that work is knowing when you need to step away.
I will try to answer your question as specifically as possible to avoid any confusion. Of course, you can send a follow-up ask if you have any other questions!
If by “convert” you mean “switched from a non-Christian religion to Christianity”, the answer is no. I became a Christian at the age of 5. Christianity is the first and only religion I have ever known.
On the other hand, if by “convert”, you are referring to my bio which states that I am both a Jew and a Christian, the answer is still no. I am ethnically Jewish (DNA test says I have 27% European Jewish blood). No religion, or change of religion, can affect one’s ethnicity.
I hope this answers your question, and have a nice day!
It is arrogance in us to call frankness, fairness, and chivalry ‘masculine’ when we see them in a woman; it is arrogance in them to describe a man’s sensitiveness or tact or tenderness as ‘feminine.’
incels are just the first generation of men who have been brought up addicted to porn. every single incel talking point about women is from porn. incels think women are having sex from the time they hit puberty onward bc they watch porn with pedophilic undertones or actual cp/loli, incels think women can have sex at a moments notice w any man they want bc that’s what happens to women in porn, incels think women regularly have extreme sex like anal or gangbangs bc that’s what porn shows them, incels think women like men who are abusive or violent bc that’s what women in porn like. u know that weird meme that’s being going around abt white women fucking dogs? yeah that’s been an incel thing for years. why is that when men are overwhelmingly the perpetrators of beastiality? bc most men will have come across animal abuse porn by the time they’re graduated high school and incels, who watch porn even more than normal men, see women having sex with animals regularly. incels are just men who’s only contact with women has been through porn, men who accept that porns depiction of women is accurate, and they hate women because they totally believe what they see in porn. when they try to roleplay what they see with real women, and the women have boundaries and personalities and lives outside of sex, it infuriates them not because they’re mad women have been abused and misrepresented, but because they’re upset they are not getting the ultimate male fantasy they were promised from childhood.
I watched an interview with an Incel. He claims that women in their 20s have had sex with “hundreds” of guys. The reporter was a woman and she said that she doesn’t know of any woman that has slept with that many men. The Incel just insisted that she needed to interview more women and that she just wasn’t aware enough.
Even the most sexual active women I know haven’t had sex with one hundred men, let alone hundreds. They really do believe that porn is accurate.
“incels hate women because they totally believe what they see in porn“
this right here is what feminists mean when we say, porn is hate speech against women. men who invest in the narratives told by porn end up hating women.
Just wanted to link this article here which is a really good read on debunking several pro-porn studies that go against the idea that porn enforced misogyny. Unsurprisingly, the data is skewed and not representative of the general population.
“The dynamic of friendship is almost always underestimated as a constant force in human life […], but no matter the medicinal virtues of being a true friend or sustaining a long close relationship with another, the ultimate touchstone of friendship is not improvement, neither of the other nor of the self, the ultimate touchstone is witness, the privilege of having been seen by someone and the equal privilege of being granted the sight of the essence of another, to have walked with them and to have believed in them, and sometimes just to have accompanied them for however brief a span, on a journey impossible to accomplish alone.”
Was thinking about how Adam and Eve betrayed God in a Garden and how Jesus’s tomb was in a Garden.
And how that makes the story come full circle.
Cause life was given in the Garden but then Adam and Eve chose death, and then Jesus chose Death so life could be once again be given in the garden through his resurrection.
And I don’t know what to do with this
Additionally! (This is not an original thought, we’ve been going through Matthew at church)
When Christ is driven into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil, the scene is diametrically opposite to Adam’s temptation.
Adam is tempted in a garden, Christ tempted in a desert .
Adam had a body not susceptible to death doubts God, Christ in flesh susceptible to death was tempted to test God.
Adam takes the fruit though he has no hunger. Christ denied bread though he had not eaten in 40 days.
Adam had dominion of the earth and gave it up to Satan, Christ was offered authority over the earth by Satan and denied it .
I’m not doing the comparison justice but it’s amazing to think about how many parallels there are of Christ fulfilling the Old testament
thinking about when margaret atwood said ‘my audience is God, because who the hell else could understand me’ there’s just… no one else. i could spend hours, days explaining myself to someone and even at my most eloquent, i just know it would still be misunderstood or misinterpreted or judged. there’s just no one else. and it brings me so much comfort sometimes in knowing there’s no one else but Him because there’s so many moments in the day where people don’t see how hard you’re trying, where maybe even you yourself don’t acknowledge how much you’re going through and how much you have been through.. but He has. every breakdown, every cry, every time you’ve put yourself back together, every win. He has and that will always always be enough for me. always.
Idk how you can go like “wow humans can only see 1% of the light spectrum and only hear 1% of audio tones were missing out on so much!” And then go “God doesnt exist because we cant test for it in a lab”
It’s even better when you point out that all of human knowledge is based upon human perception which is both narrow and fundamentally incorrect. By our own logic the universe should not exist, but it does in spite of that and rather then taking that knowledge and expanding their horizons they attempt to view the universe through the eye of a needle.
I get so tired of people saying that the Bible doesn’t give us an answer to question of suffering. This is, in my estimation, one of the most damaging messages of the modern American church. I hear it from so many pastors, even good ones. It’s all over Christian media. “We don’t know why God allows suffering.” Bullshit.
God is sovereign and we are not. Shall a faultfinder contend with the Almighty?
Suffering exists because sin exists. God allows the world to persist in the tension between redemption and extant sin so that more might be saved. Not one of His sheep will be missing.
Man is born fortrouble. Nails are made for pounding. We were made to be pounded into the shape of Christ.
Pain exposes out true hearts. Often, suffering kills the god we thought were worshipping and reveals to us the truth of who God really is.
God ordains our suffering, and if we believe that He is good, we must also believe that He will not allow us to suffer needlessly.
God will allow evil only to the degree that it brings about the very opposite of what it intends.
We are only a small part of redemptive history. Perhaps it’s true that nothing good will come to the sufferer out of his suffering, but if that’s the case, immense good will be produced elsewhere in ways that are beyond the sufferer’s ability to see.
Suffering is an integral part of God’s redemptive story. It is through suffering, not in spite of it, that God choses to extend His reign and rule to the world.
Jesus took on a real, human body and carried not just our sin, but all our suffering to the cross. “He himself bore our sickness and he carried our pains.” He has suffered with us and for us to the last spasm.
Faithfulness requires bearing pain in bodies meant for love, just as Christ did. When we suffer faithfully, we are powerful witnesses to God’s faithfulness and love.
Scripture is not silent on the subject of why we suffer. We have answers! Stop saying that we don’t know why we suffer. We do! The church is so very wrong to propagate the idea that it’s just a mystery. Our specific suffering may be mysterious to us, but suffering writ large is very much not. Truer and deeper answers are yet to be revealed, but the profound and compelling answers that Scripture provides are not to be ignored.
“In that case why should I have any anxiety? It is not my business to think about myself. It is my business to think about God. It is for God to think about me.”
