TLDR - First few sentences

Christian Science does not agree with the theory that morals grow out of people's behavior. It stands firmly on the ground that morals for mankind are derived from the divine Mind, God, and that they are therefore ageless. Morally right behavior pertaining to sex was revealed by Moses.

No thanks, I’m not going to sit around waiting for some “miracle” to change something I actually quite love about myself.

Food is sweet, but not every substance is to be taken (poison, your 12-year old boy).
Eyeglasses to the eye, and knives to vegetables (things have purpose).
Syphilis is rightly a disorder, so is marriage with a boiling pot (dis + order).

Some people are bully, and they love that about themselves.
Your youthfulness will still fade,
You'll grow old and will need another's help.
You'll die one day, and after death comes judgement.
If you love yourself, choose one suffering.
Suffering twice is: in this world and after judgement in hell.
A wise person will choose to suffer once.

We have to give God thanks for everything, even if not by miracle (by practice).

You will grow old and need another's help.

And what business is it of yours if that other is the same gender as me?

[+] flatearth@kbin.social -19 points 10 months ago

I went on to another topic.
Rebellious question.

If you are speaking of chores, there is nothing wrong with chores.
You can cook with a pot. Use a pot for cooking and not for marriage.

What does that even mean?

[-] flatearth@kbin.social -5 points 10 months ago

🎄 Joyful Christmas in advance.

Happy holidays to you too. What does using a pot for marriage mean?

[-] flatearth@kbin.social -3 points 10 months ago

Well. If you are young, may God preserve your innocency. If you are not young; it means that eyeglasses goes to the eye while knives goes to vegetables.
Marriage should be between a man and a woman. Everything other than that is a perversion.
Doing things done in marriage outside of marriage is a perversion.
Summary of all is this: Always seek what pleases God in all you do.

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 2 points 10 months ago

Why the hell should I do that?

And for that matter, who are you to say what pleases God and what doesn't?

[-] flatearth@kbin.social -4 points 10 months ago

Well, let us hope you'll learn from future mistakes, and history repeat itself on you in a positive way.

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 2 points 10 months ago

Do you plan to answer any of my questions?

[-] FabioTheNewOrder@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Let me ruin the suspense for you: no, he won't answer any if your questions nor will he reply to any if your points. He will just go on shitting on your life because it doesn't fit the narrative he was spoon-fed about an invisible man in the sky silently judging everything we do and punishing those who are deemed "evil" and nothing else.

Just another brainwashed sheep in the flock of the lord, no hope to have a normal conversation with this one

[-] flatearth@kbin.social -3 points 10 months ago

In maths, formulas are very useful.
"Always seek what pleases God in all you do." is my Christmas gift to you.
If you need more, let me know.

[-] FabioTheNewOrder@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

We all need less of your bullshit man, go outside and touch grass before the rapture comes and bring you away (hopefully)

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I moved on to another topic.

It sounded like you were talking about the same thing to me. Besides, why is that relevant? Moving on to another topic doesn't mean you don't have to answer questions about the previous one.

Rebellious question.

Is that an insult where you come from? Because it's a compliment around here. You're a stranger on the internet, not my dad. Why should I look up to you?

Besides, even if you were my dad, I was raised to question my parents and make my own decisions once I was old enough to understand. We ask questions to arrive at the truth, not to more accurately ascertain the will of whoever has the most authority.

[-] flatearth@kbin.social -4 points 10 months ago

Lots of strawman.
May your decisions help you avoid hell.

[-] Vlixz@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

I'll take the change for judgement - getting fucked in the ass by something else then the government feels great

[-] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

The fatal combination of unintelligent, condescending, and bigoted.

If heaven was real, you wouldn't be going there.
