| 1 | Struggling with my faithMystisicm and heresy is strong in this thread. I like reading the comments in these types of threads because it gives insight into posters' deeper beliefs. There is a whole lot a variation in what people believe is truth vs. what is absolute Truth as communicated by the Bible (i.e. no hell b/c God is too loving, stories of supernatural miraculous healings, miracles is the evidence needed to verify that Christianity is the true religion, humans and animals share the same fate when they die, Catho… | /r/RPChristians | 12/06/19 06:20 PM |
| 1 | Helping the predominately but not exclusively gay guyJesus was temped with every kind of sin (Hebrews 4:15) so that we might overcome each and every kind of sin. Note, it is important that we distinguish from temptation that comes from within and temptation that comes from without. Jesus, being completely holy, was only tempted from without since He did not have a fallen nature (i.e. He was divine) and as God did not ever think one sinful thought. | /r/RPChristians | 14/05/19 10:31 PM |
| 1 | Helping the predominately but not exclusively gay guyLust is a sin. We are depraved in mind and the body follows the mind. Our own thoughts will accuse or excuse us on the day of judgement. | /r/RPChristians | 14/05/19 10:23 PM |
| 1 | Helping the predominately but not exclusively gay guyDo you consider the mere state of being 'same-sex attracted' sinful? (I ain't gonna be trigged if you do) I can refrain from lusting, but I struggle to see how I am sinning in merely walking past a man and finding him attractive. Lust would be the next step, to stare / desire / fantasise etc. but can I not sinlessly find someone of the same-sex attractive? The Bible indicates that being sexually attracted to someone of the same sex is unnatural. The context of this description is in the spirit o… | /r/RPChristians | 14/05/19 10:22 PM |
| 1 | If a woman is designed to be a helpmate, then is she destined to be married?In light of all of that, in a post-Gospel world where the spiritual truth reigns, we no longer have need for physical marriage in this way - whether man or woman. I don't know man.....reading your exposition of biblical marriage seems kind of hokey. The thought of 1 Tim 4:1-5 comes to mind (emphasis mine). 4 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 by means of the hypocrisy of liars sea… | /r/RPChristians | 01/04/19 05:36 PM |
| 1 | Should I ask my ex-wife to meet?Seems like you're anxious to show off your newly lost weight and gained "confidence" in hopes that she will see what she lost and come running back to you. You need to do some sober self reflection on your true motives. She rejected you and no amount of self-improvement is going to change how she views you. I guarantee if you two meet all the previous negative feelings will just come to light again and you'll leave worse off than when you came. Keep it moving dude.

| 2 | Kicking Porn For Goodbut I’m struggling with you as the primary mod I think Brother Curious' issue is his dogmatic posts/responses on things that he thinks are orthodox but are not. What I don't know is, what is the theological bent of the creator (key contributors) of this subgroup. As more posts are made and/or responded to it is clear that the theology here varies from the mainstream protestant/evangelical faith. That being said no one is forcing any of us to spend time in this neck of the internets. No need to g… | /r/RPChristians | 09/08/18 09:32 PM |
| 1 | Kicking Porn For GoodUnfortunately I don't have the time to post a detailed response using biblical text to support my statements but I did want to point out some issues I see with your advice here and elsewhere. 1) Brother Lawrence - You've mentioned him in other posts. That Brother Lawrence book that you reference is tilted towards spiritual mysticism and has been embraced by Rick Warren and Beth Moore. I would not give any weight to anything taught in that book. 2) The first step is to abandon your guilt. Don't d… | /r/RPChristians | 09/08/18 06:14 PM |

| 1 | [FR] Fixing your SMVbut what's his position on us improving our physical fitness? I addressed this in a previous comment: How do you suggest men glorify God with their bodies through failing to take care of them? This was my response: The Bible's addressing of the physical body tells us not to use it as an instrument of unrighteousness. The way to biblically take care of your body is not to sin (including drunkenness and gluttony). We all know the effects of obesity and common sense should prevail here. With that s… | /r/RPChristians | 03/08/18 07:51 PM |
| 1 | [FR] Fixing your SMVAs Brother Lawrence once said: I don't tend to give much credibility to Martin Lawrence. Didn't that guy get arrested for running naked in traffic and blurting out obscenities? But if we were to redeem and reconcile these pursuits to God's purposes, there is immense value in that. I think this may be where we are missing each other. No big deal on my end as I'm fine with others having a different viewpoint.

Because you stick mostly to the blogs, you probably have a rosier color in your eyes about what the manosphere looks like, which can explain why we have a difference of opinion on how to reach these guys.

| 1 | [FR] Fixing your SMVThanks for passing the mic. The Bible's basic take on attraction is different than its take on marriage. One is of the world and one is ordained by God. The Bible doesn't dismiss the reality of physical attraction. In the OT specifically it discusses the physical attractiveness of many individuals (men and women) and what benefits those individuals derived from being attractive (Sarah, Esther, Saul, David, Ruth, etc.) The Bible however does not give any ink to telling us what we can do to be att… | /r/RPChristians | 02/08/18 05:44 PM |
| 1 | [FR] Fixing your SMVMay I ask how long you have been engaged substantially with the red pill community? Why, are you Curious? Anywho, I've been checking out the red-pill community (primarily blogs) for a few years. I was drawn to the topics that addressed: (1) the sinful nature of women, and (2) the broken state of the institute of marriage. I feel these two topics can be discussed within the framework of the Bible. How do you suggest men glorify God with their bodies through failing to take care of them?

| 1 | [FR] Fixing your SMVSo, when you ask, "Where in God's kingdom is that relevant?" That's how it's all relevant. Thanks for the detailed response. I don't have the time to respond to each of your points specifically. I will say that there are all kinds of "taking verses out of context" going on in your response. It seems as if you had preconceived notions (maybe you got those from secular red pill sources) then you went to the Bible to find verses that validated your views.

As a recent user of the RPChristian site I was thinking that the advice here would be different from the advice given in this site's secular counterpart (which I don't read because of the sinful nature of the topics/advice).

| 2 | Theory: Why The Average Christian Woman Is UnattractiveFor example, I recently spent some time in Los Angeles my wife and some of her friends from there. The place is crawling with highly attractive men and women. When it comes to attractive people, there are few places in the world with such abundance. Dude, I'm out here in LA and I agree with you regarding the concentration of physically stunning women. Unfortunately, LA is thoroughly depraved and most of the people out here are pursuing selfish ambition (it's Hollywood after all). As one who atte… | /r/RPChristians | 31/07/18 09:59 PM |
| 2 | Theory: Why The Average Christian Woman Is UnattractiveBy increasing the average male SMV in a community to 8, that woman who is a 5 would need to elevate herself to at least a 7 to compete for an average male. I wonder what this looks like in the real world (i.e. how does a woman elevate her attractiveness two points). From my keen eye a woman either has it or she doesn't. It is all about the God given genetics (facial structure, skin, body type, etc.). One can tell when a woman is naturally beautiful and overall attractive. If a woman has put on e… | /r/RPChristians | 31/07/18 09:47 PM |
| 1 | Church DisciplineMy wife was put in church discipline for this reason. Thanks for sharing. This is a data point for your church being biblically solid. Appreciate and embrace the gift of a solid church that the Lord has graced you with. I can relate to being with a wife who didn't exhibit the fruits of the Spirit even though she proclaimed to be saved. In the end we divorced after her adultery and trying to reconcile for a couple of years. It is tough to say the least but it will sanctify you. | /r/RPChristians | 31/07/18 05:25 PM |
| 1 | Church DisciplineI do think there is an inequity though. This is the overall point I was trying to bring forth. It seems, from my experience, that men are disproportionately brought into church discipline (whether or not it leads to excommunication). I know for a fact that women don't sin less then men even in "rare" circumstances as you describe. So either the men, unlike the women, are: (1) sweeping their wive's sins under the rug, (2) manning up and trying to address their wive's sins at home/counseling, (3) … | /r/RPChristians | 31/07/18 05:16 PM |
| 1 | Church DisciplineIt’s certainly sinful, but so is my son’s failure to cheerfully and promptly clean his room when I tell him to. That wouldn’t be sufficient reason to take him before the elders. You have authority to physically discipline your children so a wife's rebellion and a child's rebellion result in different consequences. Also I don't know that a child would be mature enough to understand/accept the tenets of Christianity so they technically wouldn't yet be a member of the church. Note, I am not talking… | /r/RPChristians | 31/07/18 05:06 PM |
| 1 | Church DisciplineAlso, even if they did, it would probably be reserved for gross sins You don't think women unapologetically disobeying their husbands is a gross sin? It is commanded by God Himself, the one who created marriage. | /r/RPChristians | 30/07/18 10:13 PM |
| 1 | Church DisciplineTL;DR - Public discipline is only for church leaders; for everyone else it's perfectly appropriate to keep it private. As a practical matter, I'm sure there's room to make it more public if the person keeps coming back after a private excommunication, which then becomes disruptive to the body as a whole, warranting the body as a whole to get involved. Matt 18:15-17 is for any church member, not just elders. The purity of God's church is of the utmost importance and publicly excommunicating unrep… | /r/RPChristians | 30/07/18 09:29 PM |
| 2 | Church DisciplineI mean being excommunicated for adultery is way different than your wife going out with a girlfriend to see a movie you don't approve of. Church discipline is a step process that ends in excommunication. There are several meetings and sessions that take place prior to one being put out of the church. I would hope that any habitual/unrepentant sin would be subject to church discipline (although some might not get to the point of excommunication because they repent). All sin is an affront to God a… | /r/RPChristians | 30/07/18 09:17 PM |
| 2 | Church DisciplineBut how does that play out in the world of respect that you want to live in? The same way it plays out when the wives are the initiators when church discipline is started on their husbands. Do you want to be married to a woman who is forced to submit to you by some other group of men? 1 Cor 5:5 - At the end of the day I would want my wife's soul to be saved. If she is embracing sin then that could be an indication that her heart is not regenerate. Ideally her being convicted and repenting of her… | /r/RPChristians | 30/07/18 09:11 PM |

I build systems/processes to improve businesses functions and I love to teach/develop people.

| 3 | Unrealistic expectationsI agree. What do you suggest I do to mature in this area? The reality of gaining weight for every human as they age is unavoidable. As the metabolism slows (and it will) it becomes harder and harder to maintain the same level of fitness you had as a younger you. The only healthy way to combat this is to put in the hard work in both exercise and diet increasing both in intensity as you age. As time goes on individuals are less and less willing to commit to a lifestyle that leads to a fit exterior… | /r/RPChristians | 27/07/18 05:38 PM |
| 1 | Paradox of MarriageIf you have no means of enforcing consequences, neither do you have responsibility nor culpability should rebellion happen I might agree with you in the sense that in the final analysis God is not going to hold the husband responsible for his wife's rebellion. However, the husband has to deal the with spiritual and natural consequences of his wife's rebellion. Some examples of these types of consequences are: stress, anxiety, loss of savings, loss of control of kids, rebellious kids, shame, guil… | /r/RPChristians | 25/07/18 08:59 PM |
| 1 | Paradox of MarriageWhat sort of born again Christian is that? Tit 2:3-5 (emphasis mine)- Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored. I think you underestimate the power of our fallen nature. Born again Christian… | /r/RPChristians | 25/07/18 04:52 PM |
| 1 | Paradox of MarriageOur society views things much differently today, and it makes it nearly impossible for many people in our culture to see the benefit and the freedom for a wife in biblical marriage where she is completely subject to her husband. This is one of the points that I was making in my original post about how the culture has promoted/supported rebellion in the wife. The unicorn is an attractive Christian wife that rejects the modern heretical marriage relationship and embraces the marriage relationship … | /r/RPChristians | 25/07/18 04:28 PM |
| 1 | Paradox of MarriageRemarrying for him would be a sin in God's eyes if his wife did not commit adultery. Regardless of his/any church's stance on remarriage that is what the Bible teaches. I'm not saying it a smooth pill to swallow but he should be of the mindset that remarriage for him is off the table according to the Bible. Now whether or not he wants to act against the Bible is a different conversation all together. | /r/RPChristians | 24/07/18 11:49 PM |
| 0 | Paradox of MarriageYes, some women are naturally submissive but from my experience as time tarries on (be it years or decades) her fallen nature will rear its ugly head. She will subtly start to test the depth of his leadership/boundaries. She will observe his interactions outside of the marriage to see if his behavior is consistent (i.e. just how tough is he in a room full of tough guys). She will slowly begin to feel unhappy (due primarily to her fallen desire to be the head) and falsely place the blame of her u… | /r/RPChristians | 24/07/18 10:24 PM |
| 1 | Paradox of MarriageMy response to: Point 1 - Her view of you as the "leader of the house" has no bearing on why she is coming to you. She has no one else to-go-to to address the problem as the problem is between the two of you. Points 2 and 3 - I assume your wife has been positively responding to your actions. There are wives (including my ex) who do not respond positively to such actions. In fact, since I'm pretty sure she was not a Christian, acting in the ways described in 2 and 3 made her more resentful/spitef… | /r/RPChristians | 24/07/18 10:09 PM |
| 1 | Paradox of MarriageNo matter how you slice it, marriage is not about leadership; it's about sex. Leadership is an essential and important component of marriage, but it is merely one (very important) aspect of a functional marriage. This is an "interesting" take to say the least. I'm reading your words verbatim. Are you saying that marriage is about sex primarily? Where does Eph 3:22-30 come into play? These verses teach us that marriage is an illustration of Christ's love for His church. I encourage all people to … | /r/RPChristians | 24/07/18 09:16 PM |
| 2 | Paradox of MarriageIf you have someone with the means to enforce any action, and they make you perform that action, is it accurate for them to say they were leading because they made you do said action? 1 Tim 3:4,5 - He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity (but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?) I would argue that enforcing consequences (disciplining his children for example) is in fact … | /r/RPChristians | 24/07/18 06:45 PM |
| 1 | How do you respond to threats from your wife?As an aside I want to encourage you to make sure that are keeping your mind and spirit pure. Despite your problems at home you will have to stand alone before God to reconcile accounts. Any deliberate, on-going sin will have an adverse effect on your ability, as a Christian, to lead your wife. | /r/RPChristians | 19/07/18 04:09 PM |
| 1 | How do you respond to threats from your wife?Throwing in my comments as one who has gone through this and is now divorced after her adultery. 1) You only know your wife as much as she has disclosed to you. Much can be hidden about her past which affects how she will act in the present/future. I didn't realize this until several years into my marriage (dated/engaged for nine years and married for ten). I thought I knew her but it turns out there was a side to her that was hidden from me for many, many years. 2) I'm not saying that your wife… | /r/RPChristians | 18/07/18 06:40 PM |

| 1 | I've been having sex with my girlfriend is it possibly to reset our relationship on the right path?I'm saying that if you don't put your dick in her, she's going to leave you. That's the sad but practical advice. I got that point.

To reiterate what's already been said by others in response to your initial post, the 2nd girl sounds like she has a dominant (i.e. masculine) personality. From my first hand experience as one who was married 10yrs to a lady with a dominant personality that is not a recipe for a long-term prosperous marriage.

Can you elaborate on the phrase "initiate and maintain"? Are you saying that it is possible to maintain said relationship if you are not the one that initiated it?

However, I am not satisfied with the relationship because I do not feel like I am being challenged or pushed in a meaningful way where I can experience growth.

The hurdle for me is that I was married before (10yrs) to a lady who I thought was a Christian. As I started to mature in my faith she became more resentful and ended up committing adultery. Prior to the discovery of the adultery there was tension in our marriage due to me desiring to live holy and her still trying to hold on to the world ("A man's enemi… | /r/RPChristians | 13/07/18 09:27 PM |

Jesus said this is how it would be. Expanding this a little more. So where does this leave the above average guy or gal that has been saved?

| 2 | Expanding on a question asked in another post.Regarding women, I think it is pretty well established that all the "good" (i.e. attractive) Christian girls are married off relatively young. I would bet there are attractive women in your congregation - it's just that most/all are taken. Yes, there are attractive women in my congregation (which has a few thousand members and is solid theologically) but as you stated they are either in their very early 20's or married (I have yet to even come across an attractive divorced lady). This however ju… | /r/RPChristians | 13/07/18 07:23 PM |
| 1 | Expanding on a question asked in another post.From my experience, Churches often trump up the fact that we should be striving for godliness and character over external appearance (which is true) and in so doing relegate external things like beauty to no importance at all (which is going too far). As you noted the Scriptures do teach godliness and character over external appearance so there is no harm done there.
