The nephilim aren't necessarily humans mixed with fallen angels. That's one interpretation. There's another interpretation that doesn't require you to call literal demons "sons of God"...

All from Genesis chapter 6, KJV:
>"1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
>2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose."
Godly men chose for themselves wives based on their beauty rather than their godliness. This led to a falling away over the generations into idolatry and wicked violence.
>"4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
There were giants in the earth long after the flood as well, whom the children of Israel contended with after coming into the promised land. The most well-known example being Goliath.
>"5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."
Notice the offspring are still classified as "men", not demons or demigods or whatev

In Matthew Jesus said that you can love him by spirit, your flesh and mind may be in the wrong idea, but if your spirit is fully devoted to Christ then you're saved no matter what.

>its an antibody MRNA based medication
you sure? i've never heard of any ulcerative colitis medication being based on MRNA. these medications were made long before MRNA was even a thing (remicane and humera). anyways, i recommend you don't take those medications either way because they will screw your body up. i treat myself with a good diet and quit taking biologics. this is a late reply, so hopefully you read this

Ironically, the more the world becomes soulless and empty, the more by contrast the Word of God becomes bright and fulfilling.
Humanity can't live without faith in God, so the more the decaying modern culture tries to push people away from God, the more the thirst of God and holyness of the people remains unsatiated.
So just study the more positive and constructive parts of the message of God, the gifts and blessings which God gives to humanity, and deliver the good news everywhere and anytime, for anyone waiting for God to reach them.

Blessed. What movie is that with based 'JUST DO IT' man?

How do Christians that deal with self hatred and identity crisis cope with eternalism. This is not a concern about my appearance, it is a concern about the very fundamentals of me. It's like everything I touch, make, or even type has that strong presence of something I don't like and anything that is expressed as an extension of me. There is something so potent that is so appalling to others, even the mere presence of my gets people to form an unconscious separation from me. As if my identity beyond my body has some bad omen. Idk.

If there are any threads/images/posts you absolutely want saved. I'd recommend archiving them now.

You are not supposed to leave something that is already a sin.

Do protestants celebrate Lent? Born and raised Catholic I really have no clue about what they do for most things. Looking online it seems the answer is "it depends" but I'd like some more information than that. I should learn about Protestants in general. What even is a Baptist? I've only posted to this board once like 3 years ago so sorry for not lurking but I don't plan on being a regular.

I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with using a season of prayer and fasting as time to rid oneself of habitual mortal sin, as long as he doesn't intend to take up the habit again as soon as Lent is over.

I'm struggling a lot with personal issues but still trying to do what I can for this time of the year.
>bible readings
Whenever I feel down I try to avoid sin and read passages to comfort myself
>praying to Our Lady
I used to be a very devoted prayer of the Rosary but sadly I couldn't keep the habit, so I pray with fervor when I feel it in my heart because I don't think praying while feeling "obligued" would please the Lord and Our Lady (it's more complicated than that but it has to do with faith crisis, mostly).
>fasting
I dedicate every moment of hunger to the Lord, eating once or twice a day
>no masturbation
Self-explanatory

I pray that all my brothers in Christ grow spiritually and in virtue, may all our brothers please the most high during this time of the year with their acts of penance, meditation and virtue.
Please, if you're reading this, I beg you to also pray for me, a filthy sinner going through hardships but still carrying my crosses and keeping my hopes alive, I give thanks to the holy trinity and the divine love of Our Lady for never abandoning me.
 Jesus Christ be praised.

Dunno if you're talking about the mid 2010s Netflix series, or the new stuff that just ended. Personally I feel like Vegetales' run post 2011 has been a pendulum swing, as making a project without big investors means going on a roller coaster. So they had to make "in the house" a show about vague educational values and not the gospel. Wikipedia says the creators haven't been in control since 2004 and stopped being involved altogether in 2021. So there's a reason for the oddness

>>26113
I remember watching the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything movie and being surprised there wasn't a single mention of God or really any moral lesson, just a generic kids action movie. Felt really weird to me that Christianiy wasn't in it at all.

Supposedly they thought that the explicit Christian content of the Jonah movie limited the film's market. Ironically, Jonah was the more successful film of the two by a considerable margin.

About good christian medias today I suggest Scrooge 2022
It's not the Muppets or the 80s version but really had a real and faithful understanding of the story

Here you can tell Scrooge would have all the reasons to hate Christmas as a day, being the day of great losses and personal tragedies
But with love and faith from the 3 Spirits and his surviving family he manages to realize life is a blessing and grace and shouldn't be wasted

According to the legend he made a blind girl able to see again, are there other miracles said to be by him?

His family were the only people of God left in the city, and they were being harassed by the sodomites who wanted to gangrape them. The angels delivered them from physical harm.

>>26050
But he offered the sodomites his daughters to rape in the place of the angels. 
I suppose they did turn out to be incestuous scum in the end who raped Lot, but still.

Maybe the angels didn't hear that offer of his, but if it was me, I would've gone "never mind" and ditched them all.

>>26059
Yes, but what else happens? The very daughters that Lot offered up to be raped went on to rape Lot, giving birth to the Moabites and the Ammonites enemies of Israel. So perhaps Lot was punished after all.

Lot paid for his poor judgement when he left his uncle to live with the sodomites. This is very dense Scripture, but I often think of it as a cautionary tale against compromising with the ungodly and their ways. Seriously, how can you raise children to love and fear the Lord in any major globohomo-infested ((( cosmopolitan ))) Western city?

I'd say there are a few things we should separate. One is engaging on homosexual activity. That's wrong and disordered and, thankfully, I doubt I have to convince anyone here about that. We all know it's a heinous sin. Even in cultures like Ancient Greece, marriage was always between a man and a woman, homosexual relationships were more like a past time, always between people with a huge age gap and didn't involve anal penetration, which was seen as unnatural.

Now, people may also have homosexual temptations. That's no different from many other sexual temptations. You must not lust after a woman, you must not see her as a way to placate your desires; straight people also deal with a lot of sexual temptation. Straight people can also feel attracted to people they shouldn't date: maybe they're already in a relationship, or there's an age difference, or you've had the bad luck to fall in love with your cousin. Feelings can play all sort of nasty tricks on you, what matters is that you recognize what's right and what isn't and follow that instead of your feelings, no matter how intense they are.

There's a third thing, and it's what is sometimes called "homosexual affection". I may be nicer to a girl cause she's cute and I find her pleasant, even though I'm not planing to date her, and I can do so without lusting after her. She's just nice to be around and I'm just being kind. Some people have an easier

Also, I'd love to hear testimony from people who are homosexual and practicing Christians (that is, they live chastely). If anyone could share their experience or knows of some good interviews, it'd be lovely. It's a topic that comes up a lot and people do have genuine sometimes honest questions about it, and not just the usual "but I like wrong why it has to be bad".

>>26053
If they're "chaste homosexuals", they're just chaste and confused, but at least they're not sinning. Ask God to show you the truth.
Matthew 7:7
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."

100% truth, anon. That's the problem with hypersexuality, people who suffer it often let it define them. Ever noticed how people addicted to hentai are always freaking out about how much they like l*lis? Furries make their whole personality revolve around being an anthropomorphic animal, etc

If they actually pray to Jesus He would give them the grace of repentance and healing. 
But they are probably praying to what they want Jesus to be, some hippie idol.

>>23785
In situations where people put on airs and become dramatic, I do find that there are tiny minorities of genuine hearts in those groups every time; a little light in a dark room makes a huge difference kind of thing.

The popular approbation and grandstanding is tiresome on the whole though, but I hate being a negative nancy every time something potentially encouraging happens.

It all seems like this revival stuff boils down to boomer pride and pretensions.  I find myself pleasantly surprised however with the fruitfulness and levelheadedness I find even if it is only crumbs, but a little manna makes a lot of bread.

I'm from Bongistan

Every institution hates God. We all sit here in envy and covetousness of your American excess two-week raves. It's proof that you believe in at least something even if that something is facile, and proof that the university is in no position to ban it like they would do immediately if it were occuring over here.

>>26283
Thanks for the daily reminder, Bong-fren. I actually grew up near that area. It has a long religious tradition. Quakers, Mennonites, Amish. Asbury is a pretty small, ostensibly Christian university. While this event was clearly squelched by ((( TPTB ))) during Current Year, the great revival that occurred there before during The Jesus Movement had a lasting impact not only on the general region, but also for the entire US nation. In some ways it changed history.

Oh yes. Part of the reason the "EasyPeasyMethod" is kind of hard to read through, is because despite getting so many things right (like the DeltaFosB protein), it gets an equal amount of things wrong.
I _want_ to quit, and am quite successful when I remember who's behind making the Greek word for adultery (p*rnographia) free.
If something is "free", especially if it's widespread, chances are something's seriously wrong. And another thing; I was only ever interested in soft pron (not that I ever wanted to start getting addicted, some disgusting pedo hag indoctrinated me at school to believe it was "normal", lmao), and like 99% of what I saw in my life were static, anime/fanart images, even when I first got into it (though it was more real women in the first 2-3 years). And I'm a NEET and (like most people on here) NOT an atheist, so the book is kind of hard to read since I can't relate to a lot of what it's saying.

It's still a book with (what seems to be) good intentions, don't get me wrong, it's just hard to read through a lot of the jumping to conclusions about the reader that it does (of which only like 50% of it is right, so far). I'm not going to give up reading it, just giving some criticisms of it.
