Date: August 29th, 2020 6:30 PM Author: Trip Persian this is pretty much irrelevant to salvation, is typically just a symptom of growing neurotic pressure, and should resolve itself in a couple weeks. nothing to worry about in my experience.
and the notion of "backsliding" is garbage purity culture nonsense. There are no commands in Christianity except profess Jesus is the risen Christ, and there certainly are no moral commands we must will ourselves into accordance with. |

Date: August 29th, 2020 7:42 PM Author: Splenetic school cafeteria headpube Flame. Sure you’ll generally be in gods good graces If you believe but if youre not perfecting spiritual and moral virtues in your irl you’ll never get that far as far as spiritual wisdom and maturity go.
Consider each person a plant growing in gods kingdom. If you do the bare minimum you grow into a nice tidy shrub. Great. A couple of bugs will nestle in your roots and a strong windstorm or a flood might wash you away.
But if you really excel you’ve become a towering sycamore or redwood that can be seen from the highest mount, provides shade to those who take refuge beneath it, has branches that host birds that sing sweet dulcet melodies and endures for literally centuries |
|
Date: August 29th, 2020 7:50 PM Author: Trip Persian Sanctification is real but it doesn’t come about by willing yourself into obedience with rules. Virtue is not a behavior but a mental state that compels behavior. The only means of attaining the requisite mental state is by confessing Jesus as Lord. Faith and surrender to Christ and to God as the absolute sovereign is the ONLY means of purifying the mind, which is the only means of making right behavior.
Lol at telling yourself at night “don’t jerk off, don’t jerk off, don’t jerk off” and thinking you’ve attained virtue because you didn’t jerk off one night, or even 100. Virtue is from god and any attempts at self willing piecemeal moral rules is not only not virtuous but the very self righteousness Christians ought to guard against. |

|
Date: August 29th, 2020 10:40 PM Author: Fluffy menage new version Just ignore all the BEHAVIORS that are called out in the bible as having you booking a one-way ticket to hell, bro.
Why are believers constantly warned against shitty behavior if their mere belief in Christ was sufficient?
Nobody is saying that you can work your way to heaven. It is only by God's graces that you can get there, but clearly we, as agents of free will, can fuck that up in the material realm. |
|
Date: August 29th, 2020 10:46 PM Author: Trip Persian "mere belief" holy fucking hell.
the bible is a dialectical instrument meant to bring about in the believer a mental state that is at once captured in awe and disposed to surrender, and to paint a picture of what the consequences of obedience might look like - to provide the ideal towards which obedience is directed.
in no way do moral commands constitute an immediate binding requirement, nor are they intended as a demand that the believer will themselves into adherence. that is strictly antithetical to the nature of our redemption in the risen lord. |
|
Date: August 29th, 2020 10:53 PM Author: Fluffy menage new version I'm sorry, but if you have the ideal painted in front of you, is not the point that it is something to strive for and adhere to the best of your abilities (with the understanding that by your very nature you will fail, just maybe fail a little less than you did the day before)?
Its amazing to me that it took 1600 years for a couple of deranged priests to slowly work out this new concept. As if nobody had really properly interpreted a fundamental pillar of Christianity beforehand.
|
|
Date: August 29th, 2020 10:55 PM Author: Trip Persian No. You never strive for the resurrection. You contemplate the tragedy of the sinless death of Christ on the cross. That's why the epistles are so extraneous. Paul mastered the contemplation and sees the goal so clearly that when he writes and describes it to us hes writing about something we can only hope to see and achieve through our surrender to Christ and him crucified.

|
Date: August 29th, 2020 10:49 PM Author: Trip Persian to you additional comments:
If it is by God's grace that we enter into heaven, then it is by our surrender that we allow his spirit to indwell in us. That we are broken in sin forecloses the possibility of exercising our will in a way that is anything but depraved. We cannot will ourselves to virtue. We can only surrender ourselves to God.
You stated it exactly right - we can only fuck it up. And we fuck it up by not letting God in. God sees us in our sin. We can let God in while we sin. We do not fuck it up with affirmative actions that are sinful, or that in some way offend God irreparably. We fuck it up in the negative, by failing to let God meet us in our sin. We fuck it up by failing to confess Christ - the divine person that meets us in sin. |

Date: August 29th, 2020 10:56 PM Author: Trip Persian Like jerk off and repent at the same time. I literally recite Romans when i jerk off. "As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me." (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4614057&forum_id=2#40837218) |
|
Date: August 29th, 2020 11:18 PM Author: Fluffy menage new version Please explain this passage in light of your view:
Now the works of the flesh are plain: immorality, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, party spirit, envy, drunkenness, carousing and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption (eternal death); but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart.

Date: August 29th, 2020 11:38 PM Author: Trip Persian Like I mentioned, Paul gives us his moral view (including moral commands) from the other side of heaven. He has achieved a wondrous beatific vision where the wrongs of man are made clear. However, it is not up to the contemplative man to simply will conformance to this vision, but to seek such a vision for himself - only such a vision would provide the full motivation for right action.
It occurs to me that the lowly in intellect (i.e., the Catholics) may find it necessary to establish, adhere to and punish violations of a "Christian" set of laws, modeled on the Pauline vision. And it is for this reason no surprise that the Catholics assembled the bible and proclaimed its inerrancy. But of course, the scriptural contradictions become immediately apparent.
The Catholics did us a wonderful service insofar as the holy scripture provides accounts of Christ's teachings, and interpretations of visions. But we are in no way arduously held to the standards of behavior, decreed by a spiritual master who only saw those standards for what they were after years of religious practice, contained within its pages. We are however compelled to attain the vision which motivated that master's brilliant writing.
Perhaps one can enter the kingdom of heaven adhering to laws decreed by a man with a supreme knowledge of Christ alone, but the contemplative Christian practitioner seeks to know, as is his right, Christ for himself. |

Our sex organs are meant for procreation in a union and the strengthening of that union and that any act outside of that is a sin.
