Porn Pastor

[Kangaroo Feathers]

I'm not looking for it. I see it because my worldview dictates that this is unseemly behaviour. I can't help seeing this anymore than you can help seeing a 20 year old grooming a 12 year old as perversion and detestable. It's just how I characterise it. So your example is like me telling you, Well in X country, men sleeping with 12 year old girls is normal, just because we think it's perverted, that's just what you're seeing.

reductio ad paedophiliam. There's a shock.

Which verse are you referring to?

Jesus Ate With Tax Collectors, Prostitutes, and Other Sinners, and We Can Too

 

[firedragon]

It is very relevant.

Nah. ITs not.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Nah. ITs not.

You can repeat your error as often as you like. You will still be wrong. It appears that you do not understand the error that those opposing this young woman are making.

Jesus Ate With Tax Collectors, Prostitutes, and Other Sinners, and We Can Too

So this is the verse Shadow Wolf was referring to?

I am not sure. There are more than that. Mary Magdalene was even said to be a prostitute, though there is some controversy behind that:

How Early Church Leaders Downplayed Mary Magdalene's Influence by Calling Her a Whore

She was according to some sources over the disciples and it is thought that the "repentant whore" version of her was started to lower her importance in the faith.

 

[Glaurung]

They're absurd, but a microcosm of the culture. The culture at large has lost its sense of sin and while some in that culture may maintain pretensions of Christian religious commitment they're only deluding themselves. Matthew 7:21-23

Not that I deny genuine Christians exist. Those who make a sincere moral effort to live by New Testament teachings. But it is my conviction that a great deal of American Christianity is feigned. That much of what passes as Christianity is a pretense rather than a serious commitment that informs people's lives.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

The problem, seems to be that you want to impose your world view onto other people. You are more than welcome to your world view. The problem is that you don't appear willing to grant that same courtesy to other people.

She does moreso than you recognize.

Mary Magdalene is never said to be a prostitute in the Bible.

I suspect a great deal of American Christianity is feigned, too. I rather suspect in the opposite direction to what you think, though.

As I said, she was interpreted to be one. It was a Pope that first made that claim.

Anyway some people associated Mary with the Pericope Adultarae which is anyway a forgery. I think Shadow Wolf was referring to something else but I have no clue what so I was asking her, unless you can read someones mind.

I was not attempting that. It is something that is well known. @Shadow Wolf may have another example in mind. I am not a mind reader either.

Yeah. But its more than well known that it was on a forgery that never mentioned Mary.

It was built upon false premises from very early on, imo.

What do you mean with the "false premise"?

 

[Subduction Zone]

Yeah. But its more than well known that it was on a forgery that never mentioned Mary.

You are conflating one issue.

No, that’s not an oxymoron.

Check this out and let me know what you think:

In San Diego, Porn Star Preaches Message ‘For Sinners By Sinners’

I like it.

imo, it’s a positive. The old, antiquated christian religion is dying, as it should.
It was built upon false premises from very early on, imo.

Sin is deliberate disloyalty to God. The religion of Jesus was repenting from disloyalty and returning to right relations with God; whole souled commitment to doing Gods will going forward.

No person can serve (2) masters. The conceptually simple assumption of Jesus’ religion is that we would leave the life of sin and recommit, or commit for the first time, to serving God.

This church is just a social club of like minded people who want their cake and eat it to.

I was asking someone else, about one comment, one issue.
