I've always preferred hand drawn animation over chi but that art is dying off now.

The Lgbtt community has been accused as being an attack on the family model that God ordained - Male husband , emale wife and children. And while this may be true, there are some other growing movements we all need to be more aware of that imo if get established may be more of a direct threat. (Note: I dont endorse any of these, I'm just showing what they are. PLEASE dont turn this into something it isnt) 1. Feminism- While some feminists just want equal rights and treatment or women, others go above and beyond logic and attack the institution of marriage as a means of oppressing women. (Can be appealing to bitter ,hurt women 2. Some male movements are pretty much the opposite . They claim marriage oppresses men and discourage men from going into it. I've even seen some talking about pumping and dumping women (just using women for sex and leaving them) or using prostitutes rather than marrying. (Can be appealing to hurt, bitter men) 3. Antinatalism- A movement that claims its immoral to get kids because were bringing them into the world to suffer and die without their consent. Humanity should allow itsel to go extinct to them. 4. Polyamory- basically a movement where people reject the notion of having one partner only. Instead, one partner or both may have relationships with other people with their S.O's consent . Sometimes they even share them If you realise, each movement attacks some principle that God put into the family/ marriage. Thats far more of an attack on the family IMO

What I've had was Man:So ..........how come you not married? What are you waiting on? Me: Waiting on the Lord to provide. Man: The bible says 'seek and ye shall find' (verse takencout of context) How old are you? What about ( clearly backslidden woman whos sitting right THERE) The lady then openly explains why she and i wouldn't be a good match.

i.e Asking why have you reached this totally not up to you milestone in life yet It can be for getting married or getting children but I've seen Christians do it, heard of it happen to people i know and have Christians do it to me. 1)It doesn't help anything. 2) it's embarassing 3) I've heard of it sending people into depression e.g. women who've undergone miscarriages or have fertility issues etc

During a prayer meeting the topic was basically " Not using God's word to say what he didn't say " Examples were given of how people distort scripture to support their own personal opinions. The preaching pastor then said how other Christians opposed him marrying his wife because she was black and he was Indian (he received a letter about it and some ones even wanted to to find an Indian wife ) Shortly after a lady told me people raised issue with the man she was going to marry because he wasnt of the same denomination as they. Reminded me of another man said he had issue with the woman his brother was going to marry since she was quite a bit younger than he was. Long story short. I know all those couples personally for most of my life .Decades later, ALL are STILL married, have adult children and are bedrock members of their churches. Point I'm making is this. I realized Sometimes following God's will for your life may bring you into opposition with God's own people (who youd think would be supportive) and you may have to rub some of your Christian brothers and sisters wrong and just do what you know God wants you to do

Well thank you for saying that. I'll work on this

Well thank you. I'll try to be more cautious next time.

Maybe so I'll know what mistakes to avoid if i get children of my own? I honestly find the environment in these forums is really changing quite negatively. Orange cat and ms muffet thankfully commented to the subject quite nicely but others don't seem to bother reading the post properly just want to make accusations. Thanks for thar Then we got people like neighbour who repeatedly don't seem to ever bother to answer the op but just drop snide remarks that add nothing to the conversation. Why bother commenting then? Just to clarify if my wording wasn't clear. The ok refers to situations that can and HAVE occurred. It was never meant to say it happens 100% of the time to strictly raised kids. Just it's a known trend that happens a bit

now YOURE generalizing. I never said it happened in EVERY CASE. I gave an example of what has happened in some families

no. I watched how my uncle treated his children. He was extremely restrictive to his 2 chidlren- no birthday parties, locked up their toys, didnt want them to play when they went at other relatives, didn't leave them for too long etc. my mother and other relatives repeatedly warned him about it, citing a family they saw it happen in. .He stubbornly refused. He actually criticized me as a child citing i needed more discipline.When his son became a teenager, he seriously rebelled constantly got into trouble at school. Had to get transferred. Has tons of tattoos etc. Ive havent gotten into a 10th of the problems ho got into . And never on that scale . Noone in the family even blamed the child seeing it as him finally breaking free. The father actually still blames the relatives for defying him and letting the kids have some freedom when they stayed at their homes.

I've seen this happen in my family and heard of it multiple times. Basically parents (sometimes Christians)want to have in that opinions good kids. To this and they severely restrict them-no parties, no regular kid activities,restricting their dressing , keeping them inside alot,chaperoning them in the few places they can go. The aim being the severe restrictions will create good disciplined kids. What OFTEN happens is when the children grow older and get a little taste of freedom the go berserk and go overboard in their attepts to get what they missed-drugs drinking promiscuity. My question is where should a Christian parent draw the line between being too permissive and too restrictive

No it doesn't. The blood of Jesus isn't a genie in a bottle you can incite for protection. If you want protection from Corona,pray in Jesus' NAME. But there nothing in scripture to say you can draw power from his blood (except for salvation/covering sins)

People..... it doesn't work like that

Has helped me alot

Noones debating the modesty. It's clearly not. Once again a threads been diverted. The point I was trying to make is that we as Christians have to be mindful we don't go on crusades to attack people who do opposite tow hat we think we they should. In hindsight though, I was wrong to show The pic.I thought covering the faces would've made it better

Exactly

Maybe i was wrong to post the picture but i think this thread actually had a purpose in that it identified some attitudes that we all may have that may need adjusting (myself included) The bible itself asks- who are you you judge another mans servant? We all have areas in pur livea to work on a what right had anyone to declare a is or isn't a Christian especially based on 1 picture? We all exist at different levels of maturity in different areas of the lady is saved maybe she's struggling with modesty Maybe we all need to look inward at how we judge our brothers and sister in christ

Not necessarily. I'll admit some have. Like the past 2. But I've put others for different topics up. Quite a few. Some which were totally ignored.

I covered the faces just for that fact. But thanks for the point. I had wanted to post on the topic a while ago but I don visuals stamp it down even better. I had another example to use but this one had a picture to demonstrate it.

Exactly

No its not. They put it on a meme and posted it online. Thats not making her knoe. That's making a public spectacle of her. Secondly, is she saved? Is it at a church? Do they know anything about the woman? Sometimes we can become like the pharisees in that we get so ultra righteous we can fall into sinfulness by trying to force our concept of it in others.

Something that's annoyed me recently about how sonetimes we Christian (or church affiliated people) react to the actions of people that we don't approvr of. People become crusaders and go on quests to attack the person in various ways - shaming them , taking people and public bodies not to associate with them etc. Often times the persons action may not be a sin, just something we disagree with Case in point I saw this picture online and it really punched a nerve with me. I edited it to cover the faces (whoever posted it had the woman's face clearly displayed w and add the outer caption.) Assuming that it even happened in a church, what gives anyone the right to put the lady's face online in a meme to shame her for doing something you don't approve of so people can see who she is and what she did. We really need to leave God to handle situations as he sees fit and but out

That's the point. And practically no-one looked at them. Some accused me of making her topless although she's black with a black neckline and hands. Others dropped critical remarks and then others started arguing about what exactly asked not to take it to. Simply amazing

tbh. i wouldnt say that. when a christian backslides, there literally no limit to how low they can go. rom past observationss and experience

i agree
