I'm just going to reiterate: "Mission: Raising a Godly family by espousing Jesus is Lord and be an example that His word brings life to a dying world." Your mission sucks. Looking at the comment below: I honestly don’t think I have a model for what good leadership looks like if I am unable to persuade them to follow me. Thoughts: Your wife and your children's behaviors do indicate that something is seriously misaligned in your life. Are they reacting to it in a righteous way? Definitely Not. But…

Your definition of shame and guilt is incorrect, and it totally kills your credibility. Shame is the process of assigning negative inherent value to who you are because of what you do. Example: "I'm dirty." "I'm disgusting." "I'm a liar." This is often tied hand-in-hand with believing some kind of lie about yourself based on what you do or what you've been told. This could happen because of environmental/social factors, but can also come from internal processing as well. Guilt is the ability to …

“The third case for divorce is that in which one of the parties deprives and avoids the other, refusing to fulfill the conjugal duty or to live with the other person. For example, one finds many a stubborn wife like that who will not give in, and who cares not a whit whether her husband falls into the sin of unchastity ten times over. Here it is time for the husband to say, “If you will not, another will; the maid will come if the wife will not.” Only first the husband should admonish and warn h…

By saying "I'll never leave this woman no matter what she does (except for cheating)" you are signaling "I'm an optionless loser who will stay with you regardless of how bad you behave". This is very revealing that you're really failing to understand some core concepts that differentiate the Red Pill Christian between the secular Red Pill Chad. You're reacting hard against Biblical covenantal-ism at the expense of scripture, and I think you need to slow down and go back to the sidebar and see ho…

Sorry pal, but this is still unbiblical. And no, I don't have ONEITIS for my wife. I just read the Bible and choose to follow it beyond ad hominem that reveal your poor understanding of what I have articulated above: As the man of the house, you work on a frame that communicates, "I will follow God, and disciple others. As my wife, I am committed to you and I want you to join me on this mission, but you need to know that I am putting God first. But I will not stop you if you want to leave. As fo…

First of all, I didn't realize that this was a Bluepill sub where men complain when their wives aren'f following the scriptures. As I've reread your comment I can't believe you even have a net of 4 upvotes, because it is so embarrassing to read. Wives are called to follow the scriptures just as men, but when they fail, that doesn't give men license to abandon them and move on. The man is responsible for his own actions and behavior regardless of how his wife behaves. There is NO Biblical precede…

No, he's not. There's a difference between STFU and going celibate. STFU simply means he won't allow his wife to manipulate him for sex. It doesn't mean he rejects her sexual advances at every turn. RedCurious does not recommend rejecting your wife when she initiates - but he also does not recommend accepting her advances in her frame. It is nuanced but it is there.

It seems to me like you're a prime example of someone who's trying to hold frame desperately through linguistic games just to not admit when someone proposes a decent idea just because it reveals something about you that's unbearable for you to confront.

Of course this is distorted RP! This is RP Christian! Know your audience! Do yourself a favor and read the sidebar. All the work you are spewing has already been done by people more articulate, more insightful, and frankly, less arrogant. I am harping on your post not to be pharisaical, but rather to challenge to stop writing to praise yourself and your own knowledge.

No, I didn't reinterpret your article. You assert a definition of holding frame that is not consistent with the interpretation of holding frame as defined by RP Christian side bar: Holding frame is a display of your power-- but displays of power are evidence of one's impotence. Just take a look at any country when its authority is under threat. Laws become more strict and the big guns are brandished.

You've spewed out your own definition of frame, defeated it with a new term that essentially is the true meaning of the old term, all to show off your intelligence. Nice job. Edit: Next time read the sidebar... For Christians, let me tweak this: your frame is who God created you to be and incorporates projecting God's worldview through our lives onto the world. In short, it is your identity. Secular RP lets a man choose his own frame. Christian RP dictates that God assigns us a frame, at least i…

Biblical Christianity is an RP belief system. This is wrong. My heart is not to be contrarian. It is to be a caution light for the young men who come to this sub for advice and fall into unhelpful ways of considering how RP concepts relate to the scriptures. What you said is unhelpful and just flat out wrong. If you don't see that, I simply hope thsose who read your comment will.

I didn't mock you. I made a point that showing you can insert anything into [RP] into your paragraph and make it sound smart when it says absolutely nothing. And pulling essentially a post-modernist argument of "your opinion is weighted as much as mine" is just lazy. You made a claim: Bible is RP - your words. Second claim: This sub is also not authoritative on what RP even really is. Not even Tomassi can really do that (he only popularized it), and unlike Scripture, there is no real central aut…

A Christian that is "biblical" is going to be RP because Biblical Christianity (emphasis on "Biblical") is an RP belief system. God thought of it long before Tomassi did. It goes all the way back to Genesis. It is masculine driven. The Blue Pill element of Christianity today is the result of the perversion of Christianity over the decades of feminism and such infiltrating the church. So bottom line, just keep your wife "biblical" and she will be "RP" without ever uttering the "label". A Christia…

You've been so vague about your mission, that honestly there's no helping you unless you choose to be more specific or seek counsel from a local body. This is commonly why people should be posting their stats when they ask for advice. I know your questions was on the surface "conceptual", but the part that gave me pause is the fact that the conceptual question came from a counseling session where virtually no context was given regarding mission or what "upset marriage" means. So what I am saying…

I think that this is where you really need the insight/input of your local church body/Christian fellowship who know you and your wife intimately and can hold you accountable as you navigate this challenging season.

My first response is to you - maybe you should take time to at least consider that there is a healthy way to pursue your mission and bring your spouse into it, and a way that can absolutely be unhealthy and rock the ship. "Get behind me Satan" is a response, in my experience that reveals more of issues in your own heart than that os the counselor. As the ship's captain, you need to lead your ship in a way that is considerate of your first mate's needs and giftings as well. If you decide to move …

Hello there. First of all, I think you need to read the RPC Sidebar in its totality. Sit with it, wrestle with it, and as you discover the concepts, engage with the community with the topics and seek input on it. Secondly: therefore I shouldn’t be afraid of sexual impurity in both myself or any potential wives because atoning for and repenting of those sins look like to me leading a wife and our children in Christ, in a fallen world. You shouldn't be afraid of it, but you should turn away from i…

Edit: Also, I was not speaking of redemption in a salvific sense, but I know my word choice was poor. I was speaking in a sense of offering second chances for marriage to those who have demonstrated a life of repentance. I don't think you're totally in the wrong, I'm just warning you about your standards and ensuring that if you opt to filter a spouse by her sexual history, you better hold yourself to the same standard. Otherwise you will marry with an inconsistent value system and will not be a…

I'm not totally on board with this line of reasoning - but you are entitled to screen your partner based on your values. My only word of caution is this - if you have any (and I really do mean any) use of pornography in your life - I would lump that in with whoremongering as well. So make sure that if you are choosing to live by this standard of offering no redemption to women who have repented of their past sexual sin - you make sure you are walking the walk as well and above reproach in that a…

I'm going to attack this from a different angle. Say you're going on a date. You dress in your best suit. Brush your teeth. Floss. Hit a PR on the bench. Then you take that girl on a date and sweep her off her feet. Whose frame are you operating in? If you're doing it to impress the skeptical girl, you're operating in her frame.

This is absolutely silly, and so blue pilled and unbiblical. To make it the crux makes it even MORE laughable. You're basically saying that Jesus had to operate in the frames of the people to impress them and get them to believe. This is blatantly false. We want to follow Christ's example, which is ultimately to be OI. We don't do anything based on the reactions of others- but rather out of our own frame and authentic self.

I think that this is a dangerous parable and honestly you're allowing Red Pill to seep into your understanding of the gospel. There is really nowhere in scripture that commands us to follow the external metric of success (better job, better clothes, etc.) The rules of attraction are certainly helpful tools for us in our daily lives- but do not let this taint the power of the gospel.

RP - MGTOW- they're all toolbox situations. But that doesn't negate the fact that at the root of these movements are toxic and unhealthy views of reality and the world. MGTOW is essentially just black-pilled and purports the generalization that men are better off alone (not true). Red Pill says men are better off practicing "ejaculate and evacuate" with women based on the study of mating strategies and dynamics of males and females in nature. Both totally miss the mark.

Secular RP I believe is ultimately just feminism for men. The irony of secular RP is the fact that it's entire original aim is to pick up women. It's self-defeating-because it recognizes that mission needs to come first- yet the mission of secular RP is still implicitly to have mastery over game. Some people through the process see the light and find a world free from submitting to the natural desire of sex- but in and of itself secular RP is absolutely empty.

Yes. Sex is a beautiful gift from God- in which a man and a woman engage in an act which exercises physical, emotional, and spiritual intimacy. Your sex life in marriage should reflect Christ's relationship with His bride- and there are a lot of resources where you can explore what that might look like. Song of Solomon for example. Does Christ delight in the body of His bride? Absolutely. Admire and adore your wife- and give that glory unto the Lord. Your focus during sex should be on your relat…

Then to be very honest- you need to find yourself a stable community before you will be able to effectively help your brother. Prioritize your own walk in discipleship and faith. Find a church that preaches the true gospel and stick with it. I know it's hard- but it also means you have to be the one to take initiative and leadership in relationships at church.

You and I differ on the opinion of appropriate cases to use apologetics- and that's fine. I personally don't think that a lack of open-mindedness on the other side disqualifies its use. It just means your approach to it will be different. There are different views on Sacraments, and you naively believe that the Roman Catholic stance on the sacraments are the only ones. Read the Westminster Confessions. The Canons of Dort. It's seriously unhelpful for you to take such broad stances without fully …

OP, I have a few thoughts. Prayer. Pray for your friend. All of your endeavors should begin in prayer. Apologetics is a valid pathway, but it must be done with great caution and commitment to the Word of God. There are valuable resources out there. although u/rocknrollchuck claims "Apologetics" only causes contention- Paul actually uses apologetics in the New Testament to appeal to the Greeks of Athens.

No. Because you are trying to convince your brother through an intellectual discussion instead of through the power of the gospel. Apologetics are only going to cause contention, because he has his views and you have yours. But what does the Bible say?

Generally speaking, any church that self identifies itself as "Apostolic" is going to be a charismatic branch of Christianity that seeks to "restore" the church offices of Apostle and Prophet.

"An adulterous nation seeks after a sign." The only sign you should be concerned about is that Christ was raised from the dead, is on the throne, and is reigning sovereign over the earth waging war against Satan and his followers. For all you know, all of these "signs" and "coincidences" could be from the devil himself to discourage you and take away your focus on the important things.

The entire book of John, but especially the First Chapter, completely dismantles your idea of soul, spirit, and body. John 1: "The WORD became FLESH" Jesus is coeternal with the Father. To say He is the body is to deny his eternity in the trinitarian Godhead. It's literally to deny His deity.

My brother, you continue to fail to read my words. that if a spouse is demonstrating repentance and actively moving towards healing Where do I say anything about knowing anything about the state of their heart? It's not about what they say- it's about what they do. Key word here- demonstrate. You can see the fruit of repentance- it shows through a commitment to reconcile with their spouse. If a spouse has betrayed the other, but is remorseful and committed to repentance- the Biblical precedent i…

Yeah, that's a pretty major claim that sticks a pretty massive barrier to the whole World in terms of Scriptural witness- since the KJV is only in English.

I agree- you can forgive them and divorce them at the same time. If you look at a comment I made in another thread on this post you'll see me make that same observation. I would say, however, that if a spouse is demonstrating repentance and actively moving towards healing- and you're still intent on divorcing them- then it is clear that there is unforgiveness there. Obviously there could be other extenuating circumstances/consequences that contradict my generalization, but in practice I think th…

Not to mention in this specific circumstance, I wasn't making any statement on whether divorce was right or wrong-- I was pointing out the fact that the Biblical Covenants ARE marriage vows (or actually, it would be more correct to say the reverse). So for OP to state so blatantly that the Bible doesn't have marriage vows reveals a gross ignorance of understanding how marriage is a type and shadow of the relationship between God and Israel/Church.

I'm not straw-manning any point. And I'm not saying divorce is wrong. But just because something is not wrong does not make it ideal. Jesus makes it clear in the NT that Divorce is only permitted "Because of the Hardness of your Hearts" Matthew 19, and then goes onto say "What God has joined together, let no man separate." Practically speaking, divorce is unfortunately necessary due to unrepentant and unforgiving hearts. God is gracious, but He takes divorce VERY seriously. And we should too. It…

My dude.... what? Ever heard of covenants? Ever read the Old Testament and God's marriage to Israel being a covenant? That is in effect a marriage vow. And guess what?

I'm grateful for those that could forgive their spouse for committing adultery, but I can't and I don't have to, it's permissible to divorce under the grounds of sexual immorality and I will stand by that regardless of what's more Christ-like.

No it doesn't--unless you're assuming OP is having sex and cohabitating with LTR. The Marital relationship is distinct from the dating one unless the above two conditions apply.

This technically only means "Evangemarriage" is unbiblical, not "Evangedating". Not saying I disagree with you.

Because you're essentially saying that signs and wonders are *required* to accompany the presentation of the gospel in order for the unbeliever to believe. But the gospel is as empowered by the Holy Spirit in its own right, and so does not *require* signs and wonders to do an amazing work. God can c…

Once again my friend, TULIP has nothing to do with cessationism, so the fact that you're attacking TULIP because of a part of theology that has NO bearing in the conversation at hand reveals that it's not worth engaging in a debate on cessationism with you. You can be a cessationist and a Calvinist, and you can be a continualist and a Calvinist. But clearly you watched some 3 minute YouTube video that told you otherwise. Why don't you actually read the history of the Reformation and Reformed Doc…

Lol- you have essentially made it a fact that cessationism is a heresy without any evidence to the contrary. Personally, I do not hold to the same degree of cessationism as John Calvin would have- this topic has NOTHING to do with the topic of Soteriology, and has no real bearing in the conversation at hand. As for a demon possessed person- that would be easy my friend. The name of Jesus is the name above all names, and all we would have to do is rebuke that demon in the name of Christ, and our …

Once again, you clearly haven't embraced RedPill, so no need to continue this. I do know the needs of your heart actually: CHRIST. So go read His word. I don't know how I've come across as a hypocrite- because I am making no judgments of you- my purpose is not to be judgmental. And if you knew OP, you would know his isn't either. He started the journey at one point too, and it was hard. And all he was doing was commending his friend for starting his journey prudently and following the Proverbs 1…

This is the irony here: I'm not telling you to be quiet for my needs and the needs of this sub. We are telling you be quiet for your own needs. Until you understand that, you really won't understand the RedPill worldview. People are free to victim puke all they want- all OP is saying is that it does not lead to productive discussion. I never pretended to know your heart, and I never told you to be silent. You may feel wrong about this post- but feelings are not for this place. So probably good f…

Lol- it kind of cracks me up that you're disagreeing with someone else on the intentions of a post. Like huh? Who are you to judge a man's heart? Read OP's comment to someone else on this thread and you'll see clearly the purpose of this comment is not to create a culture of legalism but rather to help new users understand how they can most benefit from engaging with RPC.

First off, I don't think you truly understand the implications of TULIP if that's your stance. Do many people take TULIP, the OSAS aspect and run with it? Absolutely. But that doesn't mean that they have internalized it #correctly. Just as many Arminians fall short in their own application. As Os mentioned, Philippians 1:6 shows that God will complete a good work within us. That means that our perseverance is and steadfastness towards good works is attributed to God, and indicates that we are re…

Although it might not necessarily be immoral- the practice would exclude individuals from eldership. Ideally- RPC should be a place where we are raising up a generation of strong leaders within the church to continue building the kingdom- and thus although not to be condemned- it certainly would not be ideal for a man who wishes to lead the members of his church body.

Answer is yes- but the aim of God's doing so is different. For example, within the context of Sodom and Gamorra God is pronouncing judgment on a wicked people. I personally believe that with Christ fulfilling the covenant and ushering forth the Kingdom of God, catastrophes are used in order to further the spread of the gospel to every tribe tongue and nation. The Syrian refugee crisis is one such example- on a surface level, it appears to be a very very bad thing- but when we look deeper, we're …

Depends on what you mean by active. If you mean just general "active" in accomplishing his will, then my answer would be yes. If you mean through gifts of the Holy Spirit- then this would relate to the topic of Cessationism, and even among Christians this doctrine is quite controversial.

I'm only going to ask one question and provide one rebuttal, and then I'm going to leave it at that because I don't have the time or energy to dive down this rabbit hole. Your case has been made clear that the so-called "premarital sex" is not immoral. Ok, fine. But reading this article, it appears that there are terms that the author himself dictates as being necessary in order for premarital sex to be ok: The most specific one is that you have to be committed to marriage with the individual yo…

Well, others might be able to provide greater insight on this, but my gut reaction is to say that you should probably wait for marriage. As a man and head of the family, you need to have a sense of where the ship is going, and your wife needs to be brought into that frame. If she's not needed as a helpmate on your mission, then that will yield a lot of unhealthy fruit within the marriage and family. The sidebar has a lot of material on this- but in particular there's a really good graph showing …

The two biggest things missing: What is your mission? (Specifically within the context of making disciples) Why do you need a helper for your mission? Actually doesn't seem like you think you even need a helpmate which is a red flag- so I would put a hold on any kind of thoughts on marriage until you hash out your mission and how a spouse fits into that. Figure out what God wants for you life, how a helpmate will aid you on that mission, and then you'll have a much better idea of what kind of a …
