Especially in church. So many family members told me I needed to marry a Christian girl cause muh worldview. I ended up with someone I love very much because I ignored all that and chose to accept her as she is as Jesus accepts me. We're going on 8 years now. There's no secrets, no shame, I tell her every time I find myself attracted to other women and the stupid ideas quickly subside. We support each other in our struggles. Our relationship is easy and I would have it no other way. She has a unique spiritual perspective different from my own. And I love her all the more for that.
But I didn't get there following other people's made up and HEAVILY derivative ideas about Jesus and the scope of purpose.
They say the Lord works in mysterious ways and if that's true and we expand our thinking then it's reasonable to rationalize that our experiences are going to differ. That our purpose and paths will diverge significantly. That the sins we incur have a purpose... What? I don't know. And while there is no justification for sin... There is forgiveness. Jesus gets to make the decision for salvation. Not you. Not me. Not anyone in GAW. And personally, the only people I would send to hell are the pedophile elites who made all our lives fucking miserable. Everyone else gets a chance to explain themselves- I may even advocate for a lot of the non believers because honestly I totally empathize with why they feel the way they do.
If Jesus is going to send a guy to the same place as the pedo elite just cause they obsessed, arguably unhealthily over boobs then he is neither just or good or worth following as he's an insecure baby... Well He's NOT an insecure baby so...
