@MightyLion The story of Jesus' conception, where a deity rapes and impregnates his mother, is similar to other stories the Bible writers would have been aware of, like the Greek myths where Zeus became a swan or a bull in order to mate with a mortal woman. It's nothing new.

Satan has attempted to make many religions similar to what the word of God says and then takes God out to lead people to hell. Virgin Mary was not raped. @LeopoldBloom
LeopoldBloom · M
@MightyLion Of course not. She was either willingly impregnated by her husband, Joseph, or by a Roman soldier named Pantera. An imaginary being had nothing to do with it. That story was added later as part of the phony deification of the rabbi, Yeshua ben Yosef as the character "Jesus Christ." Keep in mind that the gospels weren't written until between 30 and 120 years after Jesus' death, meaning around 60 and 180 years after his conception.

Lust is like a fire. And that fire can be good or bad. An example of good lust is longing for and loving your spouse. When you find that special someone (and you might have that person already) lusting for your sprouse is not only okay it along with its fruits: Sex and intimacy are commanded in the Bible and are not sins. That said if we do hot have a spous or a stable relationship, the fire of lust us bad. Especially if it pornographic.
Consider the fire analogy: a small match on a cold day will burn out and die in seconds. A small fire on a stove or campfire that is controlled and do good. But make it too big and you lose control. Start to keep track of what lights your fire. What is it that makes you crazy for love? By doing this you can see where are your “danger zones” Humans ADULTS are sexual beings. Thus ADULT Christians are sexual beings as well. Sometimes the fire of lust is in the rain and is out. Other times its summer and there is Kindling EVERWHERE. Seek to know what STARTES your fire before you have to put it out. Not only that, but knowing what makes you crazy will teach you how to gauge your Real life relationships, when to give the flame more fuel or less fuel.
Second, know your hormonal cycle. If you lusted for 48 hrs you would be probably sick of it, wanna see ANYTHING but what is sexual. Something wholesome: that is a flame the burned up its fuel. Other times it burns BUT through Christian repression (which is good and commanded for single ppl) those hormones either back up or mess with your brain. Seek to regulate your WHOLE body. As a young man thats hard but over time you can see how the food you eat, your exercise and entertainment DOES have an impact on your appetites.
Lastly when you are in the fire, pray to God and Jesus and trust in them. When you Deny lust you are doing the Self Denial as Commanded in the Bible. And thats awesome. Self denial may be the last thing that a Christian must practice since it hurts bad. BUT!! It does get better over time (See *) and you can use your innate desires to seek out nice friends. Guys are good for accountability or just prayer support Or fun. A Guys night out may JUST MAYBLE make you forget about Girly time every once ina while. Meet girls as friends to also gain ppl you can trust and live life with. Among those seek out those who WANT more.
Good luck and keep up the faith. I’ll pray you keep doing well.
(Ps. There is nothign wrong with an ADULT DREAM from a biblical POV, those might help you steer from the fantasies of the internet until you find something stable).

Religion has you trapped by your genitals, That is how it works by convincing you there is something wrong with being a sexual being, You then become trapped in a "catch 22" and as long as you let them, they will control you by fear. Religion is a needless con to generate money for their leaders to living in mansions with private planes and sometimes yachts while you can't have a happy life, and their control over you is complete.
In short, all religions are a scam for gullible people, and with 4,000+ religions in the world, none the same and all claiming theirs is the only true one, it is mental m@sturbation keeping its adherents in a child-like mind set. Layers of manipulation and frauds.
Walk away.

@MightyLion Satan doesn't exist, but if he did, he'd definitely encourage priests to rape children - which, oddly enough, is not explicitly forbidden anywhere in the Bible, and is even encouraged in some passages. However, sexual abuse exists in other Christian denominations as well, along with business, academe, entertainment, and pretty much every other organization where men hold power and are not held accountable.
You do owe a debt to the Catholic Church, or at least, respect for their contribution to world Christianity. Most of the great Christian music, art, and architecture has been inspired by Catholicism, not by solitary Christians whose worship is limited to holding Bible study with one of their friends.
If the word "relationship" doesn't appear in a passage, you can't claim it's there, and then turn around and say that something the Bible doesn't even mention is the core of your belief. This is why I don't take you people seriously. Your Biblical analysis is based on nothing but your imagination, same as your belief in God.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."
Praying is how you talk to God. When you talk to someone again and again every day it is pretty obvious you have a relationship with them. Would you talk to someone every day if you had no relationship with them? Not even of friendship? It is clear that if you weren't so obsessed with being petty about the scriptures you would understand. Just pray God is not as petty with you as you have been with his word.
The bible is very clear on "hurting children"
Matthew 18:20 “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven."
Matthew 18:6 "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea."

@MightyLion You can't have a relationship with something that doesn't exist.

Can’t you just go to confession afterwards and say a few “Hail Marys” and then it’s all good?

I lust for life. I lust for success in my job. And, I lust for great sex with my gf.
I’m as lucky a person as you’ll find because of lust.
You’re welcome to choose a Puritanical lifestyle. It’s much like jerking off. It gets the job done, but it’s pretty empty. 😇
Advise, sure. Just because your parents teach to something doesn’t mean they’re right. Most parents aren’t successful. Do you want to follow that? If your parents have shitty credit, do you follow that? Undereducated, follower?
Do you actually believe that if your parents’ sex life sucks that one wouldn’t choose to fulfill that need elsewhere? That’s somewhat naive.
If you really want to find God, find a woman that blows your mind. There’s no reason to wait a lifetime to find Heaven.
There you go. The first lesson is free.

Suck it up. Isn't that the test your God is giving you to prove your submission to whatever they are, or something similar?

@MightyLion Does the Bible forbid oral sex? Between men and women, of course - I know you people are hysterically opposed to gay sex, even though there's no explicit prohibition against it in the Bible.
MightyLion · 22-25, M
Lol I don't know I put the thumbs down cause I am not going to do anything with anyone I am not married to. I haven't had any reason to research that topic of oral yet. I am also not a bible encyclopedia. @LeopoldBloom
LeopoldBloom · M
@MightyLion OK, well, I'm not a Bible scholar, but I can assure you that the Bible is silent on oral sex, whether you're married or not, and the supposed prohibitions against gay sex are the result of poor translations into English. In the original Hebrew and Greek, the meaning is quite different.
