Social Why are evangelicals against sex ed?

[TheComebackKid]

Works won’t save us. But if Christ is in us, sanctification will take place. We will begin to hate our sin. Repentance will be evident in our lives as you said. And Christ in us will help us to be more like him.

Repentance is a work tho

Doesn't it take works to manifest Christ within you?

 

[ShadBo]

Actually the perverse pan sexuality of today is much more in line with Greek gods like Zues 100% more so than Jesus.

In fact, you personally worship Eros and don't even know it.




All physical manifestations first originate in the spiritual realm.



Yuck, you sound like a woman. Not even a woman but a little girl. Emotional vomit everywhere.

And you can't fat shame and white knight at the same time. "I hope you never find a woman to mistreat! Unless she's fat and ugly in which case jokes on you..haha!". Just lol.

Because they’re retarded.

I disagree. I used to think that. I think repentance is closely tied to faith. It is a gift from God

 

[TheComebackKid]

Lmfao this is cult level stupid

When a woman sleeps around with different men she destroys her ability to pair bond with one man thus destroying her ability to ever be a happy wife and fulfilled person. Once a woman loses the ability to be fulfilled and happy with a man she has just relegated herself to a life of misery. Hence the divorce rate and overall miserable condition of so many middle aged women. Being a slut actually does have physical and emotional consequences.

That's why it's evil. And men who engage these women sexually are participating in, being accomplices to, the destruction of that woman.

No. It's the other way around. Any good work we do is because of the Grace of God working in our life.


Ephesians 2
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

 

[Jar of Flies]

Because Christianity is riddled with philes and the more sexually ignorant kids around, the more easy targets there are for them.

The Greek words used for faith and belief denote action. What is that action? That action is following His ways. What are His ways? The commandments in the old testement.

Christians who believe they can continue to willingly go against the Most Highs commandments, in the old testement, and not give up their life(their ways) and still be saved are deceiving themselves and others. You have to give up your life and your ways in order to receive salvation. And that is a work(alot of work).

 

[Big Nasty Edison]

I'm not "an evangelical", I'm merely a Christian, but I can answer.
1) Sex isn't for recreation, but procreation. It belongs in marriage. Fornication is evil and it damages the soul.
2) Sex ed promotes and tries to normalize perversions to impressionable youths.
3) Sex ed teaches that porn and masturbation are great. Porn is evil, masturbation useless.

So how do you reconcile that stuff with the proven facts that sex ed is more effective at preventing teen pregnancy, stds, abortions etc than teaching abstinence only ?

Just say "fuck it" and ignore the benefits?

Wow you must really think a lot of your penis. They pine for it so much they'll never be happy with anyone else.

So men ruin women, does it ever happen the other way around? Does a guy that sleeps around lose the ability to pair bond?

 

[salamander]

No. It's the other way around. Any good work we do is because of the Grace of God working in our life.

Free will is what enables one to accept the gift offered.

Revelation 3:20
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

Acceptance comes through obedience of our Lord's mandate. So the highest calling for any Christian regardless of faction or denomination is this:

"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. "

The second part is the one I personally find is the hardest one of all, but in order to adhere to it you required to do works.

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. - Matthew 22:37

How does the Bible define love for God? I'm glad you asked!

In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome - John 5:3

And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love - John 1:6

If you love me, keep my commands. - John 14:15

Actually most pagan religions, thus much of history, actually does worship the penis. Hence the obelisk in Washington DC.

With that said it's clear you didn't understand my post.

Women definitely ruin men just not in the same ways

 

[Ripskater]

The Greek words used for faith and belief denote action. What is that action? That action is following His ways. What are His ways? The commandments in the old testement.

The man who has faith and repentance is a man whose heart is changed. He now has a new desire to follow and please God and to hate his sin.

Christians who believe they can continue to willingly go against the Most Highs commandments, in the old testement, and not give up their life(their ways) and still be saved are deceiving themselves and others.

Anyone who is willingly going against God's commands should have doubts about their salvation. However if a man is in Christ, God will draw him back away from that sin. Will we be perfect and Holy as God is Holy? No, we still have this fleshly body and Satan that draws us to sin. Our battle with sin will continue til we die.

You have to give up your life and your ways in order to receive salvation. And that is a work(alot of work).

I agree we need to give up our ways of sinning. But that is the result of salvation. It is the result of Christ in our lives that we do good works or avoid our old ways of sinning. Our works or avoiding sin on our own power cannot forgive us our sins. Christ's death on the cross did that.

The second part is the one I personally find is the hardest one of all, but in order to adhere to it you required to do works.

I thought the point of it was that it was literally impossible to do, and therefore you need salvation in Christ: hence why he had to die for your sins. Look, there isn't a single person who would ever say they are without sin. You cannot get into heaven with sin. Therefore you need a sufficient and necessary condition to be granted access to heaven, and that is acceptance of Christ.

I think it also makes sense. If there were a set of acts that you could do to get into heaven, then anyone could do them whether they accept the Word or not.

Socrates also viewed things this way, but obviously not in a judeo christian sense. He viewed a good life as a life as a whole, not a series of actions one after another. As a whole, we are all sinners, with sins big and small.

Lol how is this still a thought in 2019

Because the evidence to support this thought is more abundant than ever in 2019?

You're not supposed to understand why consequences arise in order to avoid them. You're supposed to avoid them through a mixture of fear and confusion.
