Taylor is correct and confirms everything I've already stated on these boards.

I'm glad it's not just crazy black guys who decide they're ministers.

the gay lisp is still so visible in his voice. Furthermore, this kid just lives from Facebook / YouTube attention. Not gay at all! ;D

How long till hes arrested for siphoning off the congregation's donations to pay for meth and Brazilian house boys?

Jesus healed him of the disease called homosexuality.

Do you think he's not attracted to men anymore?

Tbombz quote about analsex:
For me, it always hurts right when it goes in. Does not feel pleasant at all. Sort of a deep stinging sensation.
However, leave the cock in your ass, very shortly the pain goes away entirely. Once the pain leaves, then your partner can start to pump your ass. It feels like a great deep tissue massage, only its inside your ass. :D for me it feels real good when it goes real deep.. like there is some kind of pleasure sensor at the bottom of my ass that emits the tingles when ever a cock comes close to hitting it.
IT feels about the same whether your on your back or on your stomach, however there are some differences. on your back you can see your partner, which could be good or bad (attractive or unattractive?).
On your stomach its more relaxing and you can just bite a pillow and let the good times roll. ;)
Any other questions just shoot

K, god decided to send himself as his son to sacrifice himself to remove these retarded laws surrounding sabbath and other bullshit? The fact that Taylor is corroborating your story is not a good thing, another broken lost human. Got aids, threw his life away... he mentions going to work as if it's a feat!!! he's working! christ be praised..
Sacrifices for sin? in what world would that ever make sense to god? LOLOLOL.
God created you for me to sacrifice to him, god is quite blood thirsty, he sent himself to be crucified also, he loves some sacrifice. Of course Jesus went through a fraction of the pain those children with bone cancer do, he is no hero.
-
"Feeling desperate - open bible!"
Call 1-800-AidsNoMore ;D
On a more positive note, some Christians do at least spend a good amount of time pondering things.

Jesus Christ is your hope and strength too Necrosis! Your heart is hard now, but another day may bring a thawing...a softening and hopefully conviction! You can be made a new man in Christ and understand what you criticize today. That's my hope for everyone.

I wonder where tay-tay works.
With his criminal record it's probably some church-related organisation but even those may not be stupid enough to hire violent offenders.

Wherever it is he's blessed to work at he's living for Christ!

Don't think he has worked in years. He's lazy and has no skills.
-
Do you think he's not attracted to men anymore?
He's a new man in Jesus Christ and set free from the old man. I'd say he's delivered from that or on a path to deliverance through the Holy Spirit. Great question for Taylor though!

you must have got a vicarious thrill from searching out and representing that post

Afflicted with Christ LOL...praise God! Me too!

I wish him all the best and you too, but turning your life around had little to do with God. God does not exist.

The best and most convincing way to show your faith is not to tell the world about it but rather live it in dignity. Anyone can "claim" Christ. Anyone can "share" Christ. Few can live Christ.
I have a friend that told me that I have no business speaking against ministers, priests, preachers and the like as they are men of God and have studied to be so what with having degrees in Theology and the like.
I reminded him that the Pharisees said the same of Jesus. He was an unlearned son of a carpenter and therefor unqualified to speak on matters of God. Typical of men to seek the praise of men through books rather than the peace of God through doing.
The world at large knows of Jesus of Nazareth. The Gospel is well known everywhere and there is no need to "share" it with anyone. Just live it and if someone asks, then speak the faith you live and leave it at that. No need to offer more when it is not requested.
Again, the world is aware of Jesus of Nazareth. To quote Ghandi, "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
That is because so many name it and claim it but fail to live it.
Because of Reeves (who lost his faith a long time ago) I don't make fun of Atheists but I wont suffer them being jerks toward Jesus of Nazareth. You don't believe in Christ? Fine. Leave it at that and either be a friend or not.

Oh man my life changed almost INSTANTLY because the Lord rescued me....powerful stuff! Jesus Christ is Lord and very much alive!

Lol,
First off, that's personal and confidential, he said he was of age and consented. It will never go soft, and I won't get convicted of anything, the only thing I made in him was a holy mess.

Nice glasses Taylor's wearing. That's about all I can say for this video.

how tbombz the christian fundamentalist really feels and thinks:
me and my ex gf made it official last week and decided to agree and put a label on "us" = we are now boyfriend and girlfriend, but in an open relationship. we can flirt with and fuck whoever we want, we just need to tell eachother about everything without them having to ask about it first.
i hooked up with a few people this week and i told her about all of them and she has been nothing but supportive and happy for me. She hasnt done anything yet but Im on the lookout for a guy with a monster cock to stretch her out real good. And at the same time trying to find a guy with a great personality and good looks to be our 3rd member of our polyamorous relationship. boyfriend-boyfriend-girlfriend. no strings attached to anybody though.
I basically "chose" to be bisexual.
Sure sometimes I think of sucking a cock or fucking some dude's ass
I second this motion. and in addition i vote galeniko just keep his mouth shut from this point on and instead only post various photographs of his ripped body and cock.

how tbombz the christian fundamentalist really feels and thinks:
These are the words of the old man. That old man is gone and a new man is alive today that is reborn in Christ!!!
The God haters cling to the old man who was once steeped in sin because it acts as consolation (and entertainment) given their similar, current and regrettable state of sin.
For the God haters, the old man can't die because he was even worse off than the majority of them both then and now. It brings comfort to them knowing someone else is worse off.....makes them feel better by comparison about their own stain of sin. It acts as justification or a metaphorical bar of soap somehow cleansing their own wrongdoings.
Yet, the old man is gone so the God hater clings to whatever they can to bring him back. In this case the idea of "preachiness" is what is clung to.
"He was a preachy, know-it-all before and now he just preaches about God. It's the same guy ::) just a different story is preached!"
No, it really isn't....it isn't at all. :) Praise God!!

why are you so obsessively interested in another mans sex habits and practices ?
I am just pointing out that I think it is bullshit that God and Jesus have saved tbombz from his lust for men. That is my point.
-

Do you not want it to be true? Or do you simply deny his claim? Do you deny it simply because you don't understand it? Or do you deny it because it doesn't suit your opinions?
You would think if a person wasn't actually changed by God they wouldn't devote their lives to the pursuit of God.
What would motivate a person to change so radically? Mentally ill? And if not mentally ill then what? Fear of death? Clearly not considering the previous lifestyle. What could it be?

Do you prefer the Taylor that enjoyed the bunny suit or the Taylor repulsed by the bunny suit?
-
Sounds great!
It is clearly working for you. Keep up the good delusion! Wish I had your ability to abstain from reason.
-

I'd prefer a dead Taylor.... bury his decrepit rectum in the bunny suit if you like.

Would you say the same thing about a person who violated your children, killed your wife, took a shit on your beloved bible, and then, a few months later, told you he was now a Christian?
-

Hi, MOS,
I very much respect your integrity and Christian charity.
Who's Taylor? In response to FF, I wrote about the Assbunny, sometimes I make posts about Tbombz. Is Taylor the Assbunny or Tbombz?

I hate to break this to you, Neo, but tbombz is in the ass-trix and thus, he is just like all the other assbunnies that came before him.

I haven't had anyone violate my chidren or kill my wife, but my desire is to live for Christ and respond as he would.
Now I regularly deal with folks that metaphorically do that to the bible. I don't prefer they do that, but it isn't my problem either. If someone literally did that I wouldn't be happy about it, but I can easily get another bible.
I met a missionary at my church who was beaten up severely by a group of men on a mission trip. After his beating they gang raped his wife and then forced him to watch her execution. He ended up forgiving those men and having the divine opportunity to lead some of those men to Christ.
I would hope I could be as strong as that missionary and trust in Christ like he did!

I'm beginning to think you're actually a master trollster.
Otherwise, you have very serious mental health issues and are potentially dangerous.

Fortress I'm sorry the Lord didn't respond to you in the manner in which you hoped, but I can't help think that something inside yourself held you back from God (and that isn't a criticism of you either). I know personally that I didn't come to know the Lord until I FULLY surrendered all of myself. Further, the Catholic church is not the church that Christ intended. The Christian church may have begun around Rome, but it evolved into something entirely anti-Christ and was forced into reform.
I would encourage you, if you still have longing within you, to surrender all of yourself to God humbly....all your sin, all your reservations, all of yourself. If there is a genuine draw upon your life then engage God in prayer. I don't know all the ins and outs of your previous circumstance, but if you genuinely repent and humble yourself and desire to be saved you will be.

You're ill.
People like you either become ever-more sick with your delusion, or forced reality shatters your fantasy and you resort to the issues that likely had a hand in your illness to begin with.
Guilt, drugs, alcohol, sex, depression, etc.
It's real to you. You require it. Your mind cannot cope and has retreated into fantasy and make-believe.

Have to agree to a certain extent.
Given the supernatural exists - its nature is, and will be, unknown to us. It is, like many things, a concept.
How anybody can fervently resort to a book as absolute truth is beyond me especially when the figure of Jebus has been researched and its status ranks from good willed "hellraiser"/rebel to "ascended master".

I've heard it all LOL and yet I've still experienced God in my life even if you don't care and reject it. It changes nothing about me.
"You're mentally ill MOS." Ok. You're mentally ill 10pints. And? It's meaningless. Atheists are steeped in their sin and can't help some of the things that come out of their mouths or through their fingers online.
I've spoken to a bunch of atheists and have had maybe 3 exchanges in which the atheists never insulted me. Oh yeah, you aren't an atheist.

I gave up the drug and alcohol lifestyle and have adopted a clean lifestyle which yes includes a god of my understanding.
That being said I avoid shoving it down people's throats and although still a smartass on here and in real life, I don't act holier and though either because I gave up a destructive lifestyle.
I don't have a problem with you or Tbombz turning your lives over to in this case Christ but do be aware that christ also pointed out about you fuckers not to judge others lest ye be judged.
Seems to be the biggest rule born agains make, and the irony is most born agains I have known or met were once the biggest thieves, liars and deviants around, and most still are when nobody is looking of course.
I think THE Scott says it best, god(in your case Christ) wants you guys to carry the message by living the message, not acting like a fucking nincompoop

That's Matthew 7:1. Continue on through verse 6 as it speaks of believers not judging hypocritically. We are instructed to judge righteously (per John 7) as Christ does because we represent him and the Holy Spirit that lives in us.
Christ commanded us to live it and share it.
I praise God for your deliverance from drugs and alchohol!!

dude that fucking book was not written by Jesus, but by a bunch of guys years later under the command of Constantine the emperor because of constant bickering between the early christians, jews and pagans.
They essentially chose the best written chapters ie books of the bible. Kinda like magazine publishing where an author submits work and even though he is paid for it the work may never see the light of day

So you uphold scripture in one breathe, but when the passage you quote is explained to you (thereby invalidating your argument) you deny the same scripture in another breathe?
I can discuss Constantine and the Council of Nicea if you'd like to....it's rather straight forward actually.

God did not deliver me from drugs and alcohol. I already had belief in a higher conciousness which yes I choose to call god just for the sake of argument. My belief that I was and am not god has helped me overcome my bullshit.
My belief is that god, the universe, christ, buddha, jehova, nothing, whatever you want to call it, works through people, places and things.
Conclusion. The right people places and things were their in front of me, I accepted, chased, and embraced the help and I stopped thinking I was God and could help myself alone. Now I am able to help others with their bullshit if they choose to ask.
Very simple for me Gratitude=Action and helping others by not playing god. If I am not playing god, then something else is and can carry that burden.
Look at it another way. There are people on this board who believe/don't believe in a god. Just like there are people here who respect that I overcame a shitty life while some here will think I am the biggest piece of shit ever for ever having a problem. All groups are right and all are wrong depending on your own perception.
Personally I actually in the end respect anyone who has an opinion. I just may not agree all the time and express my temporary anger at such

umm, no, I am not upholding scripture, I don't care what line number or chapter/verse was written, I just know that christ told people not to judge and to mind their own fucking business.
christ was also well traveled, and was known to have traveled through places such as India and Asia where he learned many things which he also applied to his teachings.
I think there was a man like Christ, but no he was not the magic miracle man everyone speaks of.
I also know every single religion/faith on this planet through history has a version of what is essentially the golden rule. If mankind had a number one sin.
I believe in a concept of a God(of my understanding), however I believe organized religion is a crock of shit that cons, kills and divides people

I think Man of Steel comprehensively demonstrated his preference to talk the talk so we all might know rather than walk the walk so that he and God (as he understands) might know.
Unfortunately rattling off frequent and detailed reference to scripture are vaguely reminiscent of a Quality Control Manual being used to keep people in line and does nothing to suggest compassion

Christ doesn't tell believers not to judge and to mind their own business in scripture....quite the opposite. You can ignore the chapters and verses I quoted if you want.
I think it's great you were able to get past drugs and alcohol and that you help others.
No one should play God, but believers represent God in every thought, word and deed...at least they should.
You don't need organized religion to know Christ, but often times hating organized religion is nothing more than excuse people use to avoid going to church. They want their Sunday mornings for pancakes and workouts not church.....that simple really.
Yes, I've heard Carlin's standup a bunch over the years.
-
Believers should live it and share it!
If you truly live it, you will have shared far more than either the spoken or written word ever did.

Do my best to live for Christ, be the salt and light, share the gospel and give reasons for the hope within me.
As a believer I don't walk in willful sin and if I do mess up (to my great shame) I ask the Lord for forgiveness and deliverance.
It's pretty amazing how the Lord is answering my prayers in these threads as of late. Things are beginning to become clear.

I have no ill will btw, just have my opinions and all
-
It's real because I've encountered God repeatedly. You don't have to believe me.
No? So there's objective and verifiable evidence we can look at to verify your claim that you've "encountered God repeatedly?" Interesting - let's hear it. Oh, and while you're at it, since you've encountered God repeatedly, can you provide an unambigious, internally consistent definition of God? What was it you "encountered" and how did you know it was God and not, say, a half-eaten chicken nugget or something caused by mini-stroke? Are you sure you encountered God or that you "encountered" that in which you had already accepted on faith and which you desperately wanted to encounter?
You just have to trust in Christ like I noted.
So a prerequisite for encountering God is trust in Jesus Christ. In other words, if we believe first, then we'll have proof? What good is proof in the presence of faith?

But days are a human concept, there are no days, just the earth rotating, you go into outer space, there are no days. The perspective of the bible is from that of medievil thinking, no mention of space, quasars, black holes, comets or anything truly ahead of it's time. The ethics and morals reflect the time, why would a timeless god be so short sighted?
If you think I wouldn't be in church for a chance to go to heaven you're nuts, I would, anyone would if it was a heaven of my choosing.
Serious question, what happens if you entertain the thought that you might be wrong? do you feel fear?

Days are just another way to measure time. In space, time continues does it not? Of course it does. As for entertaining the thought that I might be "wrong" with regard to my faith?
I have said as much here on more than one occasion. No one will know the truth of anything until they breathe their last. I would be a liar if I said I was not afraid of death. Only a fool or one who has experienced death and therefor knows what to expect can say otherwise.
And yes, I am not MoS but my faith is mine and as you have asked and he had yet to answer I thought I would try to help out.

I haven't experienced death before and I'm not afraid of it. Our existence is linear and finite - we are born, we live, we die; it's the unidirectional cycle of our life. I just don't see what there is to be afraid of, nor do I see why not cowering in fear at the prospect of my life ending at some point in the future makes a fool.

Hello All,
I would like to respond to a couple of questions/comments made in this thread.
First, of course, I want to thank my Brother in Christ Man of Steel for all the love he has been putting into this thread.
Secondly, someone asked about where I work. I am working in dispatch for a HVAC company while I work on my Masters.
Third, someone inquired about whether I still feel attraction towards men. The answer is that I very rarely ever feel any of those things anymore.
Fourth, I would like to say a couple things about being a Christian, not judging, and sharing the Gospel. Some of you expressed the sentiment that Christians should just display the love of God through our behavior instead of through our speech. I agree with you all that we should be displaying the love of Jesus through our behavior, and by living a quiet life with integrity. However, we should ALSO share the love of God with other people VERBALLY. The fact of the matter is that all the good behavior in the world will never lead a person to God. One must actually receive Christ to benefit from His sacrifice. Now, on the subject of not "judging." Let me ask you... if I see a man about to be hit by a locomotive, would I be judging him for shouting out "Hey, get out of the way of that train!" No, I would be warning him of impending doom.
Christ is, whether you believe it or not, the Son of God, Savior of the world, and source of all love and beauty in the universe. There is no way for sinful man to approach infinite God without the atoning sacrifice of Christ working on their behalf.

What about the hate and ugliness? He's not responsible for that?

Whether an "atoning sacrifice" works on our behalf is irrelevant. If we cannot, ourselves, by own own works and deeds and without any outside aid, atone for our sin, then for God to punish us for it is cruel and injust and, most certaily, not an act of love.

The assbunny lives!

I've heard it all LOL and yet I've still experienced God in my life even if you don't care and reject it. It changes nothing about me.
"You're mentally ill MOS." Ok. You're mentally ill 10pints. And? It's meaningless. Atheists are steeped in their sin and can't help some of the things that come out of their mouths or through their fingers online.
I've spoken to a bunch of atheists and have had maybe 3 exchanges in which the atheists never insulted me. Oh yeah, you aren't an atheist.
You feel compelled to highlight passages from a 2000 year old book as fact, and declare perfectly good people are "sinners". It stands to reason that some people may wish to highlight to you that this does appear to be somewhat insane.

You are as afraid of dying and what awaits you as any other person on this planet. I never said anything about cowering in fear, just afraid. Just as there are different levels of love or hate, so too are there different levels of fear. Its okay to not admit it. This is Getbig, after all where everyone is no homo and as natural as wheatgrass juice mixed with testosterone.
Of course you will continue to deny it. You just don't see what there is to be afraid of. Not yet. Nothing is as terrifying as nothing. All the best!

Nothing to do with testosterone. Just being rational. Why would I be afraid of death? It's a natural and inescapable part of our life. I'm afraid of dying a painful death, or a pronolonged death. But death itself? No.
Of course you will continue to deny it.
Or I genuinely don't see anything to be afraid of. Novel concept, I know...
You just don't see what there is to be afraid of.
I don't. One moment, I'll be alive, and the next I won't. Just like how one moment I wasn't alive and then I was.
Nothing is as terrifying as nothing.
If that's what you're afraid, then that's what you're afraid. But don't project your fears on me.

I would say it is, but an experience is something, which means it's something not nothing. Nothingness is impossible to imagine even.
Everything in life is about polarity, however, nothingness seems to not exist, which is really interesting, it's paradoxical.

It is human nature to want to share what one feels good about. As long as it is just sharing and not preaching, most folks are fine with this. A wise man will allow that others may want to find their own way to peace and happiness. Sometimes you talk as if everyone should follow you because you've seen the light. Some people find this offensive.
You say that you rarely ever feel those things now, which could be taken to mean you've become asexual. Did you mean to say you rarely feel sexual desire for men or that you no longer act on this attraction? It is hard for me to understand how one can alter something as innate as sexual attraction/orientation. Contrary to what many people believe, being gay is not a choice.

The preaching is good news and a warning. Believers often refer to it as a message of grace and wrath. Our testimonies are about spiritual evidence of lives changed by Jesus Christ for purposes of consideration by nonbelievers. You aren't following the believer, you're following Christ.
For some folks any mention of Jesus, the bible, scripture, church, etc....is "preaching". When most folks tell me things like this (nicely) they're basically saying "shut up" LOL. Sorry, I'm more direct these days.
God can deliver men from sins and change your mind completely about sin so that we no longer walk in willful sin and our consciences remain clear. We're to take every word and thought captive and it's possible with the Holy Spirit. If a woman bends over I often look away. If I see an attractive woman I take any potential lust captive...sometimes I pray about it. I devout my sex life to my wife...that simply really. The argument that we're innately sexual and need to satisfy those desires is intertwined with our sinful natures. There's a time and place for sex, but giving into every sexual thought and whim is not God's way.
We speak on these things so those that want to know more or align themselves with God have the opportunity. The VAST majority of the time the only folks speaking are the atheists. Most want to belittle, challenge and thwart believers and make us feel small.....sometimes they're successful.

The preaching is good news and a warning.

So you shouldn't be surprised when people are equally direct in response to you, and tell you exactly what they think of your beliefs.
If a woman bends over I often look away. If I see an attractive woman I take any potential lust captive...sometimes I pray about it.
That's as sad as the Pastor that won't ride in a car with a female... like him, you've imprisoned yourself in a cage of your own making - a cage of fear and guilt - because you're terrified that you'll lose control or have a single errant thought.
I devout my sex life to my wife...that simply really.
That is commendable.
The argument that we're innately sexual and need to satisfy those desires is intertwined with our sinful natures. There's a time and place for sex, but giving into every sexual thought and whim is not God's way.
Who's giving into every sexual thought? In fact who is, apparently, unable to see a female without being inundated with sexual thought to the point that they need to look away or avoid sharing a car? I see hundreds of women every day at the University, and all without getting any sexual thoughts and I'm a healthy, heterosexual male.
Funny how that is...
-
. Nothingness is not an experience, the only thing you can do is experience, nothingness won't be an experience, it's the lack of one, which is impossible.
Not really, but if that is what you choose to believe so be it. None of us know what to expect. We can hope or even pray but no one really knows. People claim they are not afraid of dying. Right. Fear is an overwhelming emotion, perhaps more so than love or even the drive to reproduce after our own kind. Nothing evokes a reaction quite like fear. And the fear and hope of nothing is far from comforting.
It is the choice of more than a few people. Nothing at all wrong with that.

so T-bombz is full on gay guy now?

Actually it's abstain from sin or else. Engage in sin and then faithful belief in Christ's salvific work is the only way to be redeemed and forgiven of sin.
I'm not.....speaking to folks for years.
Just living according to God's standards......avoiding lust, adultery and honoring my wife. I give glory to God for the change in me.
People think about sex, lust and adulterous behavior everyday. Men and women lust for each other every single day. Millions worldwide engage in adulterous sex every single day. Who does this stuff? Almost every friend I've ever had (and myself) LOL. Our culture is so addicted to pornography and casual sex it's ridiculous. Look at Time magazine's current article on the effects of pornography today. Even the adoption of Bluray as the HD digital media of choice was contingent upon the response of the pornography industry to it. We have pharmaceuticals dedicated to the effects of rampant sexual behavior. We have therapy groups dedicated to sexual addicts. Infidelity is still one of the primary causes of divorce and divorce is on the rise. "Friends with benefits" is a cute little phrase among kids and young adults today....hey YOLO!! We have worldwide rampant prostitution and sexual trafficking. We have awards shows dedicated to pornographic materials. Cases of sexually transmitted diseases have been rising steadily over the last decade. All these topics and more are a Google away.
But it all feels good so we justify our sexual apetites....it's always the other guy's issue and never our own.

Nobody is arguing that sex isn't a big industry or that views haven't shifted and as a result a lot more people are having casual sex and doing so in ways that many (most even) may consider deviant. Nobody is arguing that pornography isn't more readily accessible and more "diverse" for lack of a better term.
But what does this have to do with point at hand? Namely that there exist people who are so terrified of losing control at the mere presence of a woman in situations completely devoid of sexual tension – like getting a ride home because the car is in the shop – that they won't even allow themselves to be alone with one.

Your simile that someone who tells you that they are not interested in your "message" is tantamount to telling you to shut up is somewhat accurate. My Parents taught me that saying "shut up" to someone is rude, therefore I try to avoid this term. So when someone representing a religious group knocks on my door to deliver they're message, I politely tell them that I am not interested. Anyone who "spreads the word" is essentially preaching. This is what missionaries do. When they say to me that their way is the only way, I find this extremely offensive. It is like they are calling me stupid, which is also rude.
Just so you know, if you were not innately sexual, you could not honestly devote your sex life to your wife. When your wife "bends over" or otherwise presents herself to you in an invitational manner, do you look away shunning any lust you might feel for her? Hopefully you do not.
I can say with a very clear conscience that I have no interest in belittling you or making you feel small, as you put it. If I want to hear your message, let me seek you out, don't just assume that I am interested or that I am a sinner for believing differently than you. When you do this, you belittle me. Let me just say that I am happy that you have found your way. This doesn't mean I accept that your beliefs are the only valid ones.
There are twelve classical world religions—those religions most often included in history of world religion surveys and studied in world religions classes: Baha'i, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism, and Zoroastrianism. Many of those who believe in each of these religions are as faithful to their doctrines as you are to yours.

so T-bombz is full on gay guy now?

Do you have a term for someone who enjoys sexual relations equally with women as with men? How about someone who is able to romantically love someone regardless of their gender?
For the most part people are more enlightened and accepting of differing sexuality then they were a decade or so ago. There's little reason for most people living in westernized countries to be "in the closet" even if it is only one foot in and one foot out. Is there a stigma with being gay? Only to those who are homophobic in some manner.

Namely that there exist people who are so terrified of losing control at the mere presence of a woman in situations completely devoid of sexual tension – like getting a ride home because the car is in the shop – that they won't even allow themselves to be alone with one.
Adam and Eve chose to defy God, align with unrighteousness and were punished (because God also demands justice).
That sinful act permanently stained/flawed their human physical form bringing decay and eventual death to Adam and Eve and all humanity that descended from them. The human body was now in a perpetual state of decay and would die. All life then and thereafter would now be subject to death because of Adam's unrighteousness. Further their sinful act spiritually corrupted them giving them full knowledge of good and evil and a proclivity for sin (some define this as a sinful nature).....they were spiritually dead in sin. The guilt of their sin also passed spiritually from generation to generation. Since we all descend from a fallen man that fallen form (physical and spiritual) is passed on. Our physical selves are now temporary and in decay and upon our eventual death our eternal souls will be separated from the temporary husk as we enter eternity. Then the spiritual man is facing God's judgment and our eternity (not this temporary existence) is what is truly at stake. Everyone will die, but how everyone spends their eternity is crucial and that is contingent upon our decision about sin. The only remedy for our sin is Jesus Christ.
What it appears you're attempting to do is twist the circumstances by having the "remedy for sin" (belief in Christ's salvific work) replace "the act of sin" (our selfish choices to defy God's law) and align it with the "punishment for sin" (separation from God). You make "belief" (more specifically "lack of belief") the cause and the "or else" (punishment) the effect; unfortunately it isn't correct. The "or else" is a response to those that remain in sin and that do not turn to the remedy for sin (aka belief in Christ). Yet, there isn't a need for belief in Christ's salvific work or God's righteous judgment if there isn't active engagement in sin. And there in lies the rub....sin. People deny it, justify it, run from it, etc....never wanting to be held accountable for it. Your simple statement "belief or else" removes our accountability for sin...it removes sin altogether. That's why I say "abstain from sin or else". Yet I still get it "belief or else", but I think it misses the mark.
Who are these folks that are terrified of losing control in front of women? Are you referring to sex addicts? Believers should choose a righteous path and if adulterous behavior was a problem for some in the past they should take steps to avoid sinful circumstances, but they should also seek the Lord in prayer and ask for help in deliverance from that particular sin. Should they never ride in a car alone with a woman? I really couldn't say....there isn't a universal in that regard.

Actually it's abstain from sin or else. Engage in sin and then faithful belief in Christ's salvific work is the only way to be redeemed and forgiven of sin.
I'm not.....speaking to folks for years.
Just living according to God's standards......avoiding lust, adultery and honoring my wife. I give glory to God for the change in me.
People think about sex, lust and adulterous behavior everyday. Men and women lust for each other every single day. Millions worldwide engage in adulterous sex every single day. Who does this stuff? Almost every friend I've ever had (and myself) LOL. Our culture is so addicted to pornography and casual sex it's ridiculous. Look at Time magazine's current article on the effects of pornography today. Even the adoption of Bluray as the HD digital media of choice was contingent upon the response of the pornography industry to it. We have pharmaceuticals dedicated to the effects of rampant sexual behavior. We have therapy groups dedicated to sexual addicts. Infidelity is still one of the primary causes of divorce and divorce is on the rise. "Friends with benefits" is a cute little phrase among kids and young adults today....hey YOLO!! We have worldwide rampant prostitution and sexual trafficking. We have awards shows dedicated to pornographic materials. Cases of sexually transmitted diseases have been rising steadily over the last decade. All these topics and more are a Google away.
But it all feels good so we justify our sexual apetites....it's always the other guy's issue and never our own.
that has been going on since biblical times, lots of fucking, sucking , incest, seed spreading and misogyny in those pages. We just think it is more rampant because of the access to TMI(too much info).
Reminds me of the time my grandfather was spouting off because my little brother got caught at 14 cornholing his girlfriend in the hottub. I pointed out that in his day people were getting married around that age not because they fell in love etc, but because they were fucking and someone got knocked up

Freudian slip.
When do Freudian slips end and typos begin?

I hear you and agree.
Yet it was wrong then and it's still wrong now.

Your simile that someone who tells you that they are not interested in your "message" is tantamount to telling you to shut up is somewhat accurate. My Parents taught me that saying "shut up" to someone is rude, therefore I try to avoid this term. So when someone representing a religious group knocks on my door to deliver they're message, I politely tell them that I am not interested. Anyone who "spreads the word" is essentially preaching. This is what missionaries do. When they say to me that their way is the only way, I find this extremely offensive. It is like they are calling me stupid, which is also rude.
Just so you know, if you were not innately sexual, you could not honestly devote your sex life to your wife. When your wife "bends over" or otherwise presents herself to you in an invitational manner, do you look away shunning any lust you might feel for her? Hopefully you do not.
I can say with a very clear conscience that I have no interest in belittling you or making you feel small, as you put it. If I want to hear your message, let me seek you out, don't just assume that I am interested or that I am a sinner for believing differently than you. When you do this, you belittle me. Let me just say that I am happy that you have found your way. This doesn't mean I accept that your beliefs are the only valid ones.
There are twelve classical world religions—those religions most often included in history of world religion surveys and studied in world religions classes: Baha'i, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism, and Zoroastrianism. Many of those who believe in each of these religions are as faithful to their doctrines as you are to yours.
I appreciate that.
No I do not.
I hear you, but most people never seek it out so we bring it to them for consideration as Christ commanded. Angers many, helps some.
That's true. Lots of religions and folks devoted to them.

Now, now, Prime.
"We knowers are unknown to ourselves" (Nietzsche, The Genealogy of Morals).
Freud posited that the conscious mind played an amazingly small role in agentive functioning; arguing instead that one's conduct is the product of unconscious forces (see, Das Ich Und Das Es). Subsequently, Freud famously argued that there are no accidents (typos on Getbig), but that there are hidden impulses which govern behavior.
"Ja, right, as accidental as a cock up the Arschhase." (Freud, 1909. Notes upon the Case of the Assbunny)
Serious question, you seem to enjoy literature and philosophy and are bright, do you find this shit helpful? I did my undergrad in psychology and nearly all of it is useless, same with philosophy in a sense. If you think enough you arrive at similar conclusions, why do you enjoy reading others conjectures?

Freud didn't anticipate the internet, therefore he couldn't have factored it in to his slip theory. Yet it is fun to think of typos as Freudian slips.
There are Freudian slips and there are women's slips....think about it. What happens if I slip you a love note? Then there is the slip and fall. What if I fall for you wearing slip? Do not call me Caitlyn. ;D

OK, that is weird, but thanks anyway.
Best.
It was meant to be thought provoking...... ;)
