Christians Have No Right To Be Adultists

Christians have no right to be adultists.

Christians have no right to be adultists.

Elaborate?

What’s an adultist?

 

[Delvianna]

What is an adultist to you? Because:

"He who spares his rod hates his son,
But he who loves him disciplines him promptly." Proverbs 13:24

And

"Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it." - Proverbs 22:6

Which goes against the basic definition of "adultist".

 

[Gregory Thompson]

Looks like it's an "age" related "ism."

 

[Gregory Thompson]

As far as I recall, the only "right" cited in the bible is the right to be sons of God. . .

OP you have to explain your thoughts.
If you mean beating your child or show control obedience stuff it is wrong. I was beaten badly and abused and worse by my parents. I know from first hand experience how damaging that is. Those who think that is okay have lost it.
It is the same thing as it say about wives to be obedient but next verse it say men love your wives and be kind and do not show bitterness roughly said. So that means, everything with love. Love does not beat.

I did not know what an adultism meant. Given the explanation offered, I'll observe that adultism is rampant in the church. An example might be churches that extend full membership to minors yet not full voice by not including their participation on church committees. Even young adults have trouble with that sometimes as some places seemingly require a certain amount of grey hair among decision influencers.

Sounds like a liberal pejorative for treating kids like kids instead to treating them like adults.

What’s an adultist?

Its like communist or socialist. An adultist. Or adultism lol. Any restriction or exploitation of people because of their youth, as opposed to their ability, comprehension, or capacity, may be said to be adultist.

I think the poster meant Adulterous person. Someone given over to adultery.

In saying that why is adultery called adultery. The Ai overview mentions

Adultery is called adultery because the word comes from the Late Latin verb adulterare, meaning "to alter" or "to corrupt," which is a combination of ad ("towards") and alter ("other"). The name reflects the act of "making other" or corrupting the exclusive nature of the marriage bond, essentially altering the marriage by bringing in an "other" person.

To alter or corrupt the marriage bond that God made between man and women. Its interesting that it mentions corrupting the exclusive nature of the marriage bond.

Like its in our nature or in nature that marriage is between one man and one women for life. Like a committment and bondage that can never be broken.

This as opposed to the unnatural redefining of marriage as like either s business contract that can be broken or not having any natural or God give nature but as a socially constructed definition that reflects social norms. Whatever they may be. But always a human determination which is usually based on individual happiness and fullfillment as the main priority.

lol who knows. The OP did not return so I guess your answer is as good as any other.

 

[Gregory Thompson]

So like, what's the difference between Adultism and Adultery?

Is this just a case of teenage angst?

 

[Photon Guy]

What’s an adultist?

Somebody who discriminates against young people. Discrimination of any sort is wrong.

Im sorry to hear that but if that was the case somebody should've reported them to the police.

What sort of discrimination are you talking about?

Define what you consider discrimination and how it applies to the different stages of growth. For example does a 15 year old have the same rights as a 21 year old?

It is not so much a "right" to be an adulterer. Those Christians who are immature often struggle with the influence of selfishness (sin) in their lives. As they transition to selflessness (of which Christ is the best example), they walk more by the Spirit and are less often found of adultery.

The Christian life is not supposed to be about what is or is not allowed (law), it is supposed to be about growing into the image of Christ.

2Co 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

Surely being an adulterer is not the same thing at all as being an adultist. I hadn't heard of "adultist" before, but I understand from other posts on this thread that it refers to somebody who practises discrimination against young people/children, not somebody who practises adultery.

It seems to be how children are treated like they are inferior to adults and need to be controlled. But what could be worse is the attitude that any adult is automatically superior to any youth.

But a young person might not be mature enough to handle some number of things. So, I see why our Apostle Paul says who is qualified to be considered to "take care of the church of God" > 1 Timothy 3:1-10 > a married man who has learned how to rule his own home the way our Heavenly Father has husbands rule their homes. A takes a while to mature like this. And it takes a maturing woman to help him.

So, I would not advance and trust any youth in any way. But test how each one is developing to be trusted wisely.
