12	My wife treats me like garbage and then blames it on me. You're getting a consistent message here, and you need to listen... You get more of whatever YOU put up with. And you've put up with too much for too long. Women do not respect men who let the their wives rule them. We see this with how women make even more joke about "who wears the pants in that house" than the men do. A woman's respect for a man is directly proportional his frame. Zero frame = Zero respect. Always. Rid you life and home of all faux-Christian "servant leader" crap and laugh off…	/r/RPChristians	01/02/21 03:52 PM
13	Would you date a blind girl? She’s not Christian but she’s culturally very conservative and shes exploring Christianity. She’s got a 9/10 body. Translation from Excuse-ese to English: "She's not committed her life to Christ, not baptized, nor born any fruit from such, and has years to growth ahead of her, absolutely none of which is guaranteed at this point. But daaay-um those curves." This is vetting 101 level stuff. For the umpteenth time: If you find yourself attracted to and "jiving" so well with a woman who... Is not a…	/r/RPChristians	31/01/21 02:02 AM
2	Divorce on the table? Fact: Sin is proscribed under the law, not regulated. If God's word say, "Here's the time, place or circumstances under which I, the Lord, allow you to _________" then you be sure that ________ is not a sin because God does not tell us how to sin, but to repent of it. Why does the Bible NOT regulate same-sex marriage? Because it's sin. Why does the Bible NOT regulate how to include the worship of other gods? Because it's sin. Why does the Bible regulate divorce? Because it's not always sin. Bott…	/r/RPChristians	21/10/20 06:49 PM
1	Divorce on the table? So you don’t wear mixed material clothing then? That's the argument of every ignorant agnostic who thinks he's undone Christian moral thought with a single clobber verse. Lame sauce. I'm surprised you didn't ask about eat shrimp while you were at it. So you don't understand the long-understood distinction between civil, ceremonial and moral branches of Law? Moral law does not pass away; e.g., it's always wrong to steal, commit idolatry, etc. Civil law is merely the right application of the moral…	/r/RPChristians	21/10/20 06:38 PM
1	Divorce on the table? Society needed divorce laws so yes Moses had to allow if even though God disapproves of it. That statement presumes that 1) the Law was Moses' own invention and direction, not God's word on those matters; and 2) that God is morally opposed to the Mosaic Law. You've denied the inspiration (and thus authority) of the Scripture in order to prove your conclusion as somehow Scriptural. You've pitted God against His word. This is, however, quite handy for me. I often say that those who hold your viewp…	/r/RPChristians	21/10/20 05:18 PM
29	Thoughts on this article to husbands Peter says that you should “live with” your wife. You say, “I’ve got that down! We both live at the same address and share the same bed and eat many meals together.” OK, pause. Right there. Call it a pet peeve of mine, but an author completely alienates me as a reader when assuming my response (as reader) and does so in a way that assumes I have the IQ of a cabbage with the vocabulary of a 15 year old. Unsurprisingly, it sets the tone for the rest of his stereotypical screed.	/r/RPChristians	20/10/20 09:24 PM
2	Divorce on the table? I will not consent to divorce for non-Biblical reasons. And it won't matter. The court will merely view you as non-compliant with the Court processes, which is tantamount to non-compliant with the Court itself. If she files against you and you refuse to file your obligatory (and it is obligatory!) reply, you're thumbing your nose at the Court, not your soon-to-be ex. You're in for a rude awakening when she goes for custody of the kid and highlights all this for the Court. Remember, "if anyone wo…	/r/RPChristians	19/10/20 11:06 PM
2	Divorce on the table? If you get divorced you've failed. God failed according to this reply. (Jer. 3:8) God "failed." That's how unbiblical this reply is. Let that sink in.	/r/RPChristians	19/10/20 10:59 PM
2	Divorce on the table? I live under the jurisdiction of the far-left 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and I use that line ("declare the Constitution unconstitutional") to describe their legal wet dream, if they could get away with it. If Hypergamy Harris gets in, they just might.	/r/RPChristians	19/10/20 10:31 PM
4	Divorce on the table? ...king of medieval dread game? What Martin Luther is pointing out is just what the Apostle Paul was pointing out in the first part of 1 Cor. 7, i.e., that free and frequent sex in marriage is a key (but not bulletproof) bulwark against adultery. Anyone with an IQ over a cabbage should be able to see the obviousness of this concept, which Jesus summed up in His broader warning: "Temptations to sin are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come!" (Luke 17:1) This holds both the sinne…	/r/RPChristians	19/10/20 10:29 PM
5	Divorce on the table? For the morons downvoting this Thanks. The topic of divorce is so rife with single-verse-theology that many are surprised to learn how many places it's addressed. Regarding Ex. 21, Deut. 24, etc., I've even see people resort to demurring, "Well that was Moses allowing divorce in the Law, not God speaking there," and thus dismiss the inspiration/authorship (and by extension, the authority) of the entire Mosaic Law in their myopic defense of how God's law weighs in on divorce. It's like declaring …	/r/RPChristians	19/10/20 10:04 PM
2	Divorce on the table? Hahaha! Never thought of that line like that :-D Even so, it's meaty quote from Luther there.	/r/RPChristians	19/10/20 07:39 PM
2	Divorce on the table? I've lived the past 8 or so years with the understanding that if an asexual marriage/existence is part of my cross, then that is my cross. Since you seem to be primarily asking about divorce in this post, here's my hot take: The Bible knows nothing of a sex-deprived "marriage" which I put in quotes because "sex-deprived marriage" is an oxymoron, Biblically speaking. Look at Ex. 21:11 where even a slave wife could be granted divorce if her husband took another woman and diminished (not eliminated…	/r/RPChristians	19/10/20 06:39 PM
7	As men, you need to do better who were basically expecting a housekeeper and nanny who would have sex with them and contribute financially And that's something you could have (read: should have) discovered during vetting on the first date... long before the term "boyfriend" ever came into place. I know first hand, as I did it from the other side of the chair.	/r/RPChristians	22/08/20 03:28 AM
15	As men, you need to do better I just want to live a happy little life with kids I can care for without worrying about the added pressure of working. The number of career women with advanced STEM degrees that really want to stay home with kids is sooooo small that I'm actually doubting this narrative. I mean, really... do you expect men to believe that you spent all that time and money to earn an MS (masters of science chemical engineering) just to walk away from it to marry a garbage man? I'll be perfectly honest with you: t…	/r/RPChristians	21/08/20 11:21 PM
1	She left the GOP, her church, and her worldview. Why should you care? Right, we're not Israel. I'm aware of that common misconception and how Evangelicals dig through the OT to strip mine it for quotes to misapply to America. Yeah, it doesn't work like that. But my point doesn't require the false assumption that America is Israel. My point was simply that a faithful king or leader puts his Kingdom and people first and above other kingdoms and people. Kings who haven't done that are either unfaithful leaders, or are acting a mere vassals of some other power.	/r/RPChristians	25/05/20 04:10 PM
3	She left the GOP, her church, and her worldview. Why should you care? Upvote for asking the same question I had. If globalists were around in the OT: "David uses his Kingship to advocate Israel-first policies, so that's concerning."	/r/RPChristians	24/05/20 05:02 PM
23	Response to "Why Men Hate Going to Church" “Men are looking for a male leader - not a male lover” — that couldn’t be further from the truth. This man is missing the point of Murrow's critique. The "love" references in the passages he cited is "agape" love. But the syrupy, romanticized love in today's Jesus-as-my-boyfriend "love songs" is far closer to "eros" love than "agape" love. The replacement of agape with eros (perhaps more properly put, the eroticizing of agape) has been a long, slow feminizing trend in contemporary Christian cult…	/r/RPChristians	19/05/20 05:39 AM
7	How do I approach my husband about this issue? Pardon while I yell this.... The fact that he makes more money is IRRELEVANT to household planning. And I practice what I preach. My wife makes a fraction of what I make, but I only go by hours worked; she works about 14-16 hrs/week, I work closer to 50 hrs. a week. Again, I go by the hours worked, not $$ brought in. I do probably 20% of the house work (but all the yard work hahaaha) because she has far more free time than I do. Actual $$ are a gift and blessing from God, not something I would h…	/r/RPChristians	18/05/20 05:05 PM
3	Ideas for discipling I'm curious about what led you to make that remark... A past experience? Oh, certainly. I suffered through decades of this effeminate mess called "Evagelicalism" where Nice Guy Values™ were prized. Emotional boldness was prized over intellectual boldness. You can sob like a girl whose daddy missed her piano recital, but if you thunder like a man you're stigmatized with labels like "critical spirit" or (my favorite badge of honor) "judgmental." Like most feminized environments, confidence was dee…	/r/RPChristians	09/05/20 04:07 PM
4	Ideas for discipling I would say just do it. Keep the plan and format pretty fluid and (as one pastor admonishes) "trust Jesus with His church." The fact that you're even doing this, and that leadership is allowing it, is fantastic. What millions of us didn't get from our fathers we need to get from our brothers -- especially older brothers. Cautions: Most men (that I know) hate feeling like they're being turned into some other guy's pet project. Discipleship and coaching are one thing, but it has to be respectful…	/r/RPChristians	08/05/20 12:08 AM
6	How would you all address this? I tried /r/ChristianMarriage is very blue pill; loaded with white knights, effeminates, pedestalizers and the women you'd expect. Quoting the wrong verses (you know the ones) will get you downvoted into oblivion as will replying with anything other than sympathy slathered in syrupy sentimentalism; unless you're bashing men, in which case it's wide open.	/r/RPChristians	05/05/20 08:40 PM
