Read the new testament and see what Jesus said about lust and the desires of the flesh. It realy is a son to masterbate thats why its good to have a wife so you can in the way God created those parts to be used, not to just self gratificate when we feel like it.

@@realdealholyfield-dx3bf When Jesus is depicted talking about lust, without naming it, is in a conversation that doubles down on women as property to men. The thing is, most people don’t notice that part because the men in the Church tradition have taught us to focus on other parts of what he said there. Why do you suppose you believe so strongly that pleasure or physical release is a sin?

My feeling is the acts of persecution of Christians led Paul into his dichotomy of the law, whereby his zeal for the law led to him breaking the law - Thou shalt not kill etc. Paul's repentance is turning from the law to Jesus. His transformation of personality is limited. He certainly doesn't appear live and let live. He's very much an enforcer, not a compromiser. His genius is in organising and maintaining congregations thst were later federated, along with his writings into a bigger church along with other writings to dilute the dependence on Paul in the nane of other apostles. Overall however, in the words of Juno in Beetlejuice "he doesn't work well with others".

The things that Jesus said and did called out their hypocrisy and exploitation.

The "doctor" question. PhD specifies the degree . . . and distinguishes it specifically from the title of an MD. It's considered (as I understand it) appropriately to always refer to a medical doctor by the title "Doctor." As for other doctors, it's optional whether people refer to someone with this handle--outside the university setting, when "Doctor" or "Professor" are appropriate! As a public school teacher, a lot of our "leadership" had EdDs--Doctors of Education--and insisted on being referred to as "doctor." (Which I always found quite funny!) -- Master Bob Hasse

@@roberthasse7862 Hi Bob, just a little historical background for you: the title “doctor” was originally used to refer to men in academia, not those in the heath care profession. (Long story there about the professionalization of health care, esp as it was traditionally done by women and shifted to more “formal” roles and labels when men took it over.) It is also worth noting that many people in our field have as much training/as many years in school as many medical doctors do. I have a four year undergrad, 3 year masters, and 6 years in PhD work and dissertation writing.

What's wrong with Authority? Who will govern the people of the earth? We can't all govern ourselves because we have a SINFUL nature. So, God chooses rulers among us to maintain PEACE, ORDER, JUSTICE, etc. It's Sin that is the problem. Not God or his Word, or people (per se). It's our evil wicked hearts. We all need the salvation of Jesus Christ. People, do NOT listen to this lady. She's trying to have you live in darkness. Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." [John 8:12]. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the King of kings and Lord of lords. Listen to Him.

What the %%%%? do away with this good scripture verse? NO. What we need to do is read the rest of the Bible and not cherry-pick, or nit-pick this and that. To say that taking dominion over the creatures is a BAD THING, is to ACKNOWLEDGE that mankind is intrinsically evil (born with original Sin)...and so we do and are sinful creatures. But Sin didn't come in to the world until Eve was deceived by Lucifer/ Satan (fallen angel; creature) and Adam disobeying God willfully ----> 2 chapters later. Furthermore, although initially we were not to eat meat (flesh from creatures), we later were provided that by God in Genesis 9 (when God told Noah to eat of the animals, creatures. And also, God required animal sacrifices to atone for Sin. Life for a Life. So, get with it please. Be reconciled to God lady, while you still can. Our feelings don't dictate truth. God dictates it, and we're to follow. Why wouldn't you want to follow your Creator? Do you think he wants to destroy you? No, He doesn't, but rather save you from the coming wrath (on Judgment Day).

@ Thanks. I responded to your response. Maybe it didn’t post properly. I said something like: It’s a leap to say that Jesus promotes any type of sexual promiscuity as the path to take in life. There is a preponderance of evidence to refute that. He forgives it, he doesn’t endorse it. We agree that eunuchs are a subset of males, that they remain men. Thus, to interpret eunuch as Jesus’ way of speaking to gender nonconformity across the human species is to grasp at straws. We are all non-binary with respect to gender because no one is a walking stereotype of woman or man.

@@River10081 No, the lady does not protesteth too much. The early church men decided to say that the reference in Matt 19:12 to the eunuchs was to men deciding to be celibate. That is absolutely not historically accurate or possible. What that actually meant in the first century is that Jesus, as depicted, was affirming people who were described as being a third gender and who were known to be sexually active with men and women, these men were people to emulate. You tell me: what was Jesus trying to signal there?
@River10081 7 күн бұрын
@ It seems irrational to say it’s impossible that Jesus was referring to celibate men. Unless you’re Jesus. It’s a leap to say that Jesus promoted sexual promiscuity, of any kind, as an excellent way to live and love. Mother Nature did not create a unique third sex of mammals. There is no third gamete. Humans created gender, secondary to sex. Non-binary doesn’t describe a subset of people, a third gender. We are all non-binary because nobody is a walking gender stereotype of woman or man. True gender freedom means not being compelled to align your sex and gender. Transgenderism is the antithesis of gender freedom, masquerading as gender freedom, because it is the compulsion to change one’s sex to align with one’s gender. But that’s impossible. So the compulsion becomes to at least “pass” as the sex you are not, At all costs, align sex and gender. We’re seeing the transgender campaign and industry self-destruct. My hope is that we choose true gender freedom instead. That we learn to accept and respect ourselves and our bodies. That we return to empowering our children to do the same.

The meta conversation that is going on in the first 30 minutes of that clip, about being a Positivist, about going against the grain, against strong traditions is in and of itself a fascinating and rich topic to talk about, and you sure know that. Your head scratch at 29:09 underlines this in such a peculiar way, that I almost forgot that I came here for listening to you talking about Acts. Thanks for that thought provoking preamble! Edit: This was fascinating from start to finish. I mean, all of it. I never believed in any God, but I was always fascinated by the idea. It took me 25 years of my life to realize that people really believe in God, for where I'm from barely anybody does (only 26% identify as religious). Since then, I learned to better understand how much Christianity means to people and I changed my perspective on the Bible and religion in general entirely. I see how you struggle with the term atheism, I notice glimpses as to why you are having such a hard time reading the text, even though I initially didn't understand why. Now that I see it, it just gives me a heartache. I'm not in a position to comment about your character as though I was a step ahead of you.

@@JenniferBirdPhD I know what you are talking about. I know why one wouldn't want to associate with "atheism" without caveat. Though, I had to learn that, because here in east Germany being an atheist comes with no specific connotation. It's the norm. But the term is contagious almost anywhere else (though, this might also deserve some positivist mentality) and it sure isn't a simple straight forward concept. There are people like Richard Dawkins, who have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to metaphysics, theology, let alone epistemology, people who have no interest in knowing anything about these subjects beyond what they already know, yet dismissing religion as nonsense right off the bat Meanwhile they uphold skepticism and intellectual openness, without even recognising the double standard. Dawkins is preaching to the choir similar to Christian apologists, discouraging people from genuinely engaging, keeping them in their simplistic understanding about what other people believe, so that they have an easier time dismissing it. I do not associate myself with this kind of atheism either. In terms of understanding the God-language, I'm curious about your specific beliefs. Though, I'd rather watch your content and find out while doing so. It seems weird doing this in the youtube comment section. Thank you very much for your engagement.

@@JenniferBirdPhD The empathetic, intellectually curious and open-minded atheist is a rare kind in online spaces, which aren't dedicated to religious discourse. I know that people like Richard Dawkins foster dismissal on the basis of arrogance and ignorance, and that his rhetoric isn't going to do much more than an apologist's preaching to the choir. He is missing his own mark, it's giving atheism a bad reputation, and due to what I do in my spare time, I understand that it makes sense to replace the label with something like "secular humanism", because there is just too much to clarify when identifying as atheist. I'm familiar with sophisticated theology, because I am genuinely curious to know the best versions of theism, so that I don't remain ignorant and maybe even end up believing in a falsehood. But I couldn't even convince myself of deism. If I was an Essentialist and not inclined to perceive existence as suffering, I'd be convinced by Aquinas' contingency argument, and his paragraph in the summa theologica where he explains why God, as pure act, is good. I'm curious though how you are using the god-language. I might pick up that book you've recommended.

But you have great coverage of the idea that even the language and terminology around Acts gives credibility to the historical reality of a book that is claiming that "God said this" and "it was pleasing to the Holy Spirit that"... The book is by no means equitable and is very problematic in how it constructs a form of "Christianity" as if that was a thing that existed. Great work!
