I think you missed the context of my above response. OBVIOUSLY, Christians are called to admonish any brothers and sister in Christ for any sins in general.

However, what I was addressing with the previous poster was the left leaning defense implying that Christians in a democratic society have no business whatsoever to address the sexual sins of other people, even of other Christians.

So, you need to reel back the false targeting and reduction of what it is you merely think I said. What I'm addressing does not come out of "an obsession."

Fair enough.

I would argue MANY christians have a strong focus on such things but....yes, you were certainly on topic. But in this context, it would make sense you addressed it....where it is being discussed.....again.

What percentage of the population is laying out their sex lives to believers? I’d posit the number is small within the church and outside of it. And what constitutes as acceptable can get murky. Or have we forgotten the scandal with Mark Driscoll’s Real Sex book? The bulk of the debates were over oral and anal practices and they couldn’t agree. Because their opinion is based on their interpretation of the scripture and comfort zone. If you believe certain acts are sinful and the other doesn’t now what?

I’m not a fan of corn either but people like it and that isn’t going to change. And christians love it too including the ones with spouses and partners. Which suggests a lack of fulfillment elsewhere. So perhaps it’s time we learned how to discuss intimacy maturely without pointing fingers and casting judgment. That just drives them elsewhere for the same. They have nowhere to turn to ask questions including those concerning right and wrong. And I know because we’ve conversed many times.

No...not just for a "select handful of sexual endeavors"...we are called to do that for any brothers and sisters who are falling. IF someone falls into a gambling addiction, if someone is beating their wife. If someone is a bully or habitually unkind.

What is the obsession with sexual deviance?

it is the ways "of the world" for the first. which we are to not engage in.
It also have opening doors for entities by the uncleanness of it.
lust for example is what we should stay away from, according to the word.
unclean practices too
when I was not with God I saw enough of these practices. I saw what it did to others. It was not positive, and it lead to addictions. Sexual deviant practices form connections in the brain. other connections, than the usual. It makes you crave more and more of the deviant. Very soon, you do not want the usual. It feels boring and dull. you shun normal common intimacy! it becomes more about your wants and needs, about lust and pleasure. This is what it does to the brain. this is why those who practice sexually deviant things want more and more and go worse and worse. because they don`t get their fix any longer so they need more. the pleasure centre goes dull. pleasure? we should stay away from chasing pleasure according to the bible. and I think this is the reason. I also saw people getting possessed or oppressed because these open doors.

then we are all of a sudden not so sudden in the area of addiction, a well known area for entities too

Godcrazy · Sep 27, 2025

for not talk about objectfication, another entity area

Godcrazy · Sep 27, 2025

according to the exorcists, "P" opens up doors for demonic activites of different kinds. He said he knows many won`t listen, but that they see it all the time. He said 90% of the church practice. It is a huge problem for the church. AND it takes away from what your spouse should have had, and the view of the other. and classed as adultery. as Jesus said, what you watch.
Right. He said it. if you look at another with lust in your eyes you have commited adultery. there you have it he said it.

well.. Paul said and listed things we should stay away from, things we do not inherit the kingdom by practice/living in it/living in sin and how we should deal with it. not be unloving but warn, and if someone keeps doing it living in it to have nothing to do with them, warn them and love them recieve them if repent but etc. this is the bible. think about how Jesus warns about the same things and the church of laodieka.

I've been waiting for someone here to realize I wasn't referring to 'corn' when I mentioned the Playboy Philosophy proffered by Hugh Hefner. His magazine is simply a symptom of the actual malady of 'bad philosophy.'

I addressed this more than once before 2019.

I appreciate the clarification and didn’t see the connection.

His killing is what led him away from God. Anybody can say they love God (even the devil says that much). You are kind of mixing apples and oranges here. Something is good if it leads you to God and being led to God means doing His will and obeying His commandments (Thou shall not kill).

Still waiting for a WORKABLE standard that can be applied across the board.

If you can't accept what I gave you then there is no standard for what is good and what is evil for you non-believers, so good luck. You don't have to wait anymore because that's all she wrote, folks :oldthumbsup:

Oh I never said that *I* couldn't come up with a single workable standard. I certainly have my own. I simply was wondering what yours was. But apparently you don't have one. I find it very curious that I have one and you don't.

Bizarre. And her mother doesn't seem to mind.

i feel so sorry if this is how teens see themselves if they truly do , sometimes teens like to role-play or do cosplay as in dress up as their faveorate charter from movies or tv shows and anime , but if a teen think they ARE animals they need to see a dr asap , they need to see a psych and fast
when i was a child i would role-play and teen are still children, you don't have a full brain capacity until you are 25 .they have research it . i know where are adults that feel they are from tv and films etc there is game play in board games that you role-play, i won't say what game as it not a thing we should talk about he cos we do have younger members of the forum .

Lol, there is a person on here who thinks they are a dog...a corgi if I remember.

I know they mean it as a joke though, so it's all in good fun.

Here's the problem... conservative Christians assumed that the problem with Hefner is primarily about sexual moralism and boundary policing, when really it's about late capitalism's exploitation of bodies in general. And that lack of appreciation for the dignity of the body, and embodied experience, is soemthing that is a problem in western religion in general.

Good morning, what do you think about the rather disturbing belief that's currently trending among young people on platforms like Tumblr, TikTok, and Reddit, in which members believe they are animals and record themselves walking on all fours on TikTok?

They call themselves Therians, and they truly believe they are animals, most often dogs, cats, or other popular mammals. Many of them believe they have "species dysphoria" and that their souls are not human souls but animal souls. I even heard of a case of a teenager who wanted to rip off her skin because she felt she was a dog, and dogs have fur.

Am I the only one who finds this a bit terrifying? Not to mention the large number of children and teenagers who follow this trend. Even ten-year-olds are posting about it on TikTok and even creating special masks to sell on platforms like Vinted or Etsy. I've even seen adults walking on all fours in the mall or barking at strangers or howling.

-Marlena Telep.

They don't believe they ARE those animals. Rather, they are simply highly identifyig with an animal. This sort of thing is as old as the hills. Let me address two forms.

1. It is really super common for children to pretend to be animals, and some of these kids have a special preference for one animal. When I was a kid, my best friend and I would spend every recess pretending to be horses. I STILL have a vivid memory of how it feels to be galloping across the plains with my main flowing in the breeze. My daughter was a cheetah. Not only is this not alarming, it's actually a very GOOD sign, because children who do this are developing a greater sense of empathy.

2. In many other cultures it is quite common for people to have a totem animal. A totem animal is the spirit of that animal which inspires you, guides you, and even gives you strength for what comes your way. Think of it as a kind of patron saint.

Take one of the "believers" to the vet for spaying/neutering...and let's see how firm their belief is.

But they changed their actions right quick

We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us
