1. Love is 'willing the good of the other, for the sake of the other'. Not just eros or fuzzy warm feelings
2. Protestant legalism. Catholic / Orthodoxy doesn't take this approach.
3. Not sure what you getting at here but I suspect 'why doesn't bible allow me to do what I want '
4. Mystery of evil but certainly tied to freewill
5 No he's real alright. I think evil is no longer hiding to be brutally honest.
6 I think this is just trying to justify your position frankly
7 It would mean it's a lie but history would show it's not IMHO
8 That's Calvinism and fie me, nonsense. I'm guessing you ex Protestant. Catholicism holds man is inherently good, but damaged by the fall.
9 It's not written for men. The Romans and Jews at the time were pretty amazed at how Christians treated women ( better ) than they did. Your also looking at it through 3/4th wave feminism equality equals same. This is a lie. Equal dignity but different. Mary is the most perfect human as well. Not a man

If you’re truly open to a conversation about this. I can help navigate much of this. These are difficult questions, but the foundation of most of them are rooted in flawed teaching of some in the church. If you want an honest conversation so you can decide based on the facts. Reach out to me.

You just made me realize that “childlike faith” literally was about how they just BELIEVED WHAT THEY WERE TOLD WITHOUT QUESTION

Yes. I absolutely agree with these all. Mine was young. I couldn’t believe someone who was supposed to love us all sending us to a dark, not, fiery place if we weren’t perfect. I couldn’t think of a world where I was punished for being who I was and for choices I never met. I loved God. I just couldn’t stay anymore. Because that’s not love. That’s just control that is disguised as love. I hated leaving and I hated not believing. But my life is a lot happier in a lot of ways now. Thank you for sharing this and existing in this space! ✨🩵💜

When I was in the church I used to joke, “guys don’t worry, I popped out a kid. I’m golden. Timothy.” The worst part is nobody argued they just laughed. Because they did literally believe that.

Mine was the Old Testament on how “Hell” doesn’t exist and the Greek word used has two separate meanings based on context and the church used the same meaning for the word rather based on context, cultural reasons

Learning the Catholic Church used to sell "Get Out Of Hell Free" cards.

Also, how can a friend of mine that is gay go to the same place as somebody who committed murder? That’s insanity to me. Even as a kid in the faith, that did not sit right with me.

@mattiemaemotl do you believe that YHWH exists? Without or within our reality, does YHWH exist?
