    Can no longer separate sex from sin

    People, I have tried literally everything I can think of to get closer to God for years. And it seems like every step forward is followed by two steps back. Just because I'm not close to God doesn't mean I'm not trying. You wouldn't say the same thing to someone who was sick and has been trying...

    I tried that. Again, for MONTHS.

    Can no longer separate sex from sin

    Noticing a theme in responses? Mostly it's all "you're not trying hard enough, it's your fault". They don't word it that directly rather its worded in a way that sounds less obvious. But that's the root message. It's essentially the standard response for such questions. Not anything personal...

    Can no longer separate sex from sin

    Just know its not on HIS part and good thing..YOU can always change the fact of not being close..God meets you where you are :) You don't know how hard I've tried for many months.

    Can no longer separate sex from sin

    Sad.... Not all of us are blessed with a close relationship to God.

    Can no longer separate sex from sin

    I never said women have all the power, and I never said men are stupid. I'm saying I get angry for men when I hear things like, "Men give love to get sex, and women give sex to get love." ... So men are incapable of love? That's TOTALLY not comparing them to robots or anything (said with...

    Can no longer separate sex from sin

    I did, and I appreciate it. I do. I was responding to that other person, and I probably should've made that clear.

    Can no longer separate sex from sin

    I do not want to use my "feminine wiles," or any of that sexist BS. I prefer to treat all people as people. Men are not animals or robots and don't have to be enslaved to their lusts. Men are going to go after women no matter what they do and what they wear. It's not about sex. It's about power...

    Thank you. But I've been praying the same thing for a long time.

    Can no longer separate sex from sin

    I honestly don't know. No matter how hard I try, I haven't had one close friend in years. I love my family, but we aren't as close as we used to be for various reasons. And of course I've never been in a romantic relationship or even on one date. I basically can't relate to relationship theology...

    Can no longer separate sex from sin

    I view God the same way I do my employer. I don't go to work to be buddies with him. I go there to work for him and everyone else. I don't believe in befriending fellow workers either.

    Can no longer separate sex from sin

    Why is God not your friend? "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you." John 15:15 Because he's God, and I'm not. I define whether or not...

    Can no longer separate sex from sin

    Everyone who has access to God has access to yellow paint- which is innocent and joyful love. There are many types of love- the love between parent and child, the love of best friends, the love between siblings, and the love between a husband and wife. They all have different aspects, but they...

    Can no longer separate sex from sin

    Plus rom-cons often portray romantic love in a way that's not true or realistic. Not to mention they feed a lot of stereotypes.

    Can no longer separate sex from sin

    And by the way, PureFlix's movies make me angry because of their victim mentality. And I don't believe anyone, especially Christians, should watch their movies. But that's a story for another day.

    Can no longer separate sex from sin

    I'm sorry but I cannot stand rom-coms. They bore me to tears. And PureFlix does not make movies, they make video sermons. They're preachers, not filmmakers. If I wanted to get preached at, I'd listen to a sermon. And as I keep saying, as someone on the spectrum, I want relationships as much as...

    Can no longer separate sex from sin

    Everyone has struggles, but it's hard for me to tell if it's just something everyone experiences or if it's because I'm on the spectrum. I want to have close relationships outside my family, but it's hard for me to really connect with people outside my family.

    Can no longer separate sex from sin

    As I said, love needs to be chosen, and free will is necessary for choice, even if that means we might sin.
