this is a post for christians
is it just me or does it seem like baptists are in a perpetually backslidden state? i feel like throughout my life, whenever i've met someone who identifies as a baptist, they are a person who believes in God but if you were to look at their conduct, they still seem worldly i remember one time i went to a baptist church and the pastor was calling out sins and people were screaming and clapping after each one, but then he said something about how "we need to stop fornicating" and the clapping and screaming came to a halt and was like barely audible... it was as if people were thinking "i thought we agreed not to bring that up anymore" or i remember one time i turned on a baptist church sermon, on youtube.. i had never seen this church before- i was just curious.. and as i listened, the pastor was giving his whole sermon on how "God is married to the backslider" people were "amen-ing" and everything.. i was sitting there dumbfounded because he was technically correct IN A WAY.. but the way he was saying it was just way off he was saying it like "don't worry because God is married to the backslider" "sin isn't so bad because God accepts it" "backsliding is to be expected and so guilt and conviction are unnecessary since God is married to you in your state of unrighteousness" but it was misleading because the bible actually says "Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you" TURN... lol.. TURN AWAY FROM YOUR SIN all the pastor kept saying was God is married to the backslider and everyone was saying "preach!" but he wasn't telling people the Lord requires repentance anyway... i just wanted to speak on baptists they seem like the type of christians who would say no one can be perfect when the bible actually says job was perfect.. it also says be ye perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect those disclaimers like "nobody's perfect" can amount to: "why shouldn't i go to the club?" "why shouldn't i do this or that?" we have to watch what we say when it's not in accordance with the Word one day a few yrs ago we were talking about church at work and this baptist guy legit said to me "yeah i do some things with the ladies but God knows my heart" i was like you do know you're not supposed to fornicate if you're a christian right? he was like "yeah i fornicate, but i pay my tithes so i'm saved!" i was like wow lol anyway.. no diss to anyone.. just wanted to speak on this and see if anyone else feels the same i am not saying any of this to make myself look righteous.. i can definitely stand to grow.. i don't want this to come across like i'm saying it to be holier than thou, because the bible says "let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall" so we all need to work out our own salvation and take heed (including myself) anyway.. that's all i wanted to say, if anyone wants to share their take- leave a comment, peaCe

i want to say this as quickly as possible
one thing that irks me about women is how they act like they have it all together or they act like they are perfect in all areas of their life because what that amounts to is it appears as though they don't have need or use for anything a man can offer let me try to illustrate this ok so sometimes a female will come to my apartment and look in the fridge or look in the cabinets and she'll look back at me and say "wow you're really a bachelor" what they mean when they say that is "your fridge looks like you haven't had a home cooked meal in a while" or "you're missing dishes you need if you want to cook certain things" or in more general terms "you could use a little help and i am good in this area" when women see how "bachelorish" i am.. they seem to like that.. they like the idea that they have an open door into my life.. they see they can easily come in and fill a role if we were to move forward but when you reverse it- this is something that is absolutely missing in modern women.. they don't have an "open lane" for men, because they see it as a vulnerability- but the issue is men want to fill a woman's void so men are attracted to a woman's vulnerability, not repulsed by it the way women seem to think women today want you to think they have no need of you and no use for you and they don't see how that looks uninviting to us men they're like: "i have my own money" "i have my own house" "i have an education" "i have a security system and a dog" "i have a big family and a ton of friends" "i have hobbies and get togethers" "i have kids already" women have even gotten to where they say they can carry heavy things by themselves smh.. it has gotten to where women's "independence" has become totally insulting to men.. its totally like... i don't want to use the word emasculating because i don't believe this is an issue for one gender... i believe this is just a common sense issue.. whether male or female, you should allow a person to play some type of role in your life.... for example: how would a woman feel if she had a baby and as she was going to feed the child, her husband was like "oh you don't need to breastfeed, i've already made arragements for that" ... THATS HOW YOU WOMEN SOUND THESE DAYS.. its like modern women don't even want men to do their own gender roles you modern women have closed every door where a man wants to pour into your life and then you expect the man to want to stay... HE FEELS USELESS HE FEELS LIKE YOU DONT NEED HIM, WANT HIM, OR CARE ABOUT HIM HE WANTS TO CONTRIBUTE.. HE WANTS TO POUR INTO YOUR LIFE HOW IS THIS NOT COMMON SENSE TO YOU MODERN WOMEN!!!????? LEAVE ROOM FOR A MAN TO BRING SOMETHING TO THE TABLE.. STOP ACTING LIKE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING ALREADY IF HE HONESTLY CAN'T ADD TO YOUR LIFE THEN YOU NEED TO JUST BE SINGLE it is just very unattractive and uninviting when women do this.. if you are a woman reading this... you really should think about trying to leave room for a man to offer something to your world the same way you women want to be needed by your children is the same way men want to be needed by their women so stop acting like you don't need a man or anything he has to offer because it is honestly one of the absolute most ugly and disgusting things about modern women remember in old movies where women used to be damsels in distress? i'm not going to explain it for you- just marinate on that STOP ACTING LIKE EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE IS PERFECT.. i'm not saying throw yourself under the bus but be honest about the fact that there are some things a man can help you with and be honest about the fact that there are some experiences you would like to have with a man men look at most "imperfections" or "voids" in your life as opportunities where he can help you... not as areas to diss you |
