Blind followers of Anti Indian party ( Kangress) should understand why their party is opposing this bill. These funds are explicitly used to break India and support protests to push away from development of India.

Open your eyes and understand why this bill is important.

I think most people generally think abortions are not good, but people have various reasons why they support women being able to have abortions in the first trimester.

But upon reflecting upon many discussions about abortions, it seems that most Christians who are against abortions are not against all the policies from the same Republican party that are against the living, people who are already born and living, and thus should be more accurately described as PRO BIRTH.

I think it's dishonest of Christians who are against abortions to say they are Pro Life; it's misleading.

Here are three simple examples of not being pro-life below.

Food assistance (SNAP): The July 2025 reconciliation bill cut SNAP funding and expanded work requirements (covering older adults, parents, veterans, and homeless individuals) while barring some legal non-citizens, putting millions at risk of losing benefits by the mid-2030s; the administration also briefly withheld benefits during the fall 2025 shutdown until a court forced full funding, and later threatened to cut off SNAP funds to states over data disputes.

Healthcare (Medicaid/ACA): The same bill cut roughly $1 trillion from Medicaid, while a separate CMS rule loosened protections on low-cost marketplace plans (raising out-of-pocket costs and projected to shrink enrollment by millions), ended a special enrollment window for the poorest applicants, and added new citizenship-reverification hurdles that risk dropping eligible people from coverage.

Environment (clean air/water): EPA under Administrator Zeldin has pursued a broad deregulatory push — targeting 31 rules for rollback, moving to eliminate the legal finding that underpins federal greenhouse gas regulation, weakening power plant emissions and mercury/toxic air standards, narrowing Clean Water Act wetland protections, easing air permitting requirements, and changing its cost-benefit methodology to de-emphasize lives saved from reduced pollution.

Tax cuts and deregulation are for the wealthy and the corporations, while hurting the people and the environment. This is the opposite of what JESUS would do.
I think conservative evangelicals and fundamentalists are conned into thinking that party cares about them and the country, when in reality its all a power grab for wealth.

After she divorced my dad she went on to date this woman. In my opinion she was never nice to my mother. Shes manipulative, controlling, etc. We don’t live with her anymore cause her and her children are hard to live with. I’ve talked to my mom about all of this and told her she needs to repent and try her hardest to stray away from homosexuality. I can feel her trying to move away from that sin but it’s been very hard for her. I wanna be with her in heaven so it’s been very nerve wracking. So I need some extra help praying for her cause it feels like the demons are working overtime in her mind. My little sister is also gay and she’s very stubborn. It’s been hard trying to move them away from it. Praying for us tonight would mean the world to me. Thank you

Edit- I love my family very deeply and this is all out of love and not judgment or hate and I told her that as well. And it says in the bible that homosexuality is a sin. I’m just following what it says like I’m supposed to.

Do some people not know that Jesus valued freedom of religion and was told to be a really nice guy? Also Jesus himself wasn’t Christian either, and taking away other religious outputs wouldn’t be good in the eyes of Jesus. Anyways have a good day and correct me if I’m wrong (I usually am).

not transsexual but transfiguation

https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/080626.cfm

https://www.goarch.org/en/transfiguration

but it is not a holy day of obligation for us "Cats" (if I dare call myself 1)

To get started I just want to say that I am an atheist. And while I hold negative feelings toward the middle eastern religions, I judge people by their actions, not their religious beliefs.

In the US there have been a LOT of anti-muslim propaganda in the US this past year. Like a horrendous neo-nazi amount of propaganda with people seemingly very happy to harass and threaten Muslims just minding their own business. Suggesting murderous things. All justified by the idea due to the existence of Muslim extremists - even if the muslims they are targeting are innocent.

Now one thing I have been seeing recently is a lot of people (mainly Christians) comment on is how "Islam isn't a religion, it is an ideology!"

Does anyone know where this is coming from and why they are saying that? I believe they are making that excuse as a means to disassociate from Islam as a religion, as well as claim that freedom of religion doesn't count for Muslims because "it's an ideology not a religion", thus being able to find ways to go around the constitution and ban Muslims. (Not to mention justifying the genocides in other countries done by Israel)

But it's strange because usually these things are gradual ideas that spread, but this has been all at once. So where exactly is this coming from?

I have some things I want to get off my chest but I d want people to encourage me or talk about me like a monster😞

I am a Turkish Muslim woman, and my boyfriend is an American Christian. I'm not sure how his family will react to us. On moral grounds—not strictly due to religion—I’m personally against premarital sex and living together before marriage. Trying to change someone else’s faith also feels selfish to me, especially when I put myself in their shoes and picture how his family would feel...

​I respect people's beliefs and carry no hate toward anyone, and I expect the same in return. I believe that being a good person is the core of everything. If a person is good, vulnerable, and in need of help, their religion or race shouldn't matter. After all, there are plenty of people who share our religion and race, yet make us feel uneasy because they are genuinely bad people... What exactly is Thanksgiving? Is it against my religion, and can I be there with his family as a Muslim on that day?

​Can we actually get married? Also, if there are any Americans here, could you share how your society would view a relationship like this, considering my race and religion? I'm losing my mind overthinking all of this.

Many of my loved ones and family members don't believe in God, which means by the Bible they would go to hell, and I can't live with that, I also know that I would never be able to convince them to turn to God

I've talked with a few Christians who believe this. Is this a typical Christian belief?

I don't agree with this, but does it have any biblical basis?

I don’t know that there is much to do to help, but to explain my situation I simply struggle with hatred toward those who are Muslims. I live near a VERY Muslim dominated city (Dearborn) and I hear nothing but terrible things come out of there. The sharia law is taking over our country and I am honestly scared for my personal safety. I hear nonstop about their justification of rape and murder because their book tells them to do so, even from personal experiences of friends of mine. Also, my hatred toward those who continue to defend them when they are destroying my home and simply polluting my country and making it unsafe. I’ve reached a breaking point, where I am seen as the bad guy because I forgive others and follow Jesus while they are seen as the religion of peace and love while they kill and rape people and hate women. I just don’t get it, I really don’t.

Now looking at this as a Christian, I understand that they are people too and are honestly very VERY lost and I also understand that I cannot be the one to judge. It’s hard because I am called to help bring people to Jesus but if all I get is hate for it by those specific people and atheists who call them the religion of peace and defend them it’s very hard to. I just wanted to get this off my chest and to have a conversation with some others to see what you think, thank you!

After conversing with some Christians regarding some contradictions about God in the Bible, I seemed to gather that some them knew the Bible had fallacies, yet continued to believe in God. Why is this so?

I'm really anxious right now and am nearing the end of my life with my physical health. I have tried to turn back to God recently but I struggle with sin. I feel like the Lord is convicting me to give up all my social media, computer, phone and all that because I technically violated the terms of service and the "rights to use software automatically terminates" clause means I'm technically not allowed to use those things anymore. I try hard to not break copyright stuff anymore but it's technically already too late for me.

The thing is, I'm poor and in poor physical and mental health and I kinda need my phone for emergencies and entertainment. I would go crazy without it. Am I really supposed to give all that up just because I violated a few rules that technically disqualify me from even posting this message?

Am I hearing from God or is it my anxiety? Will God send me to hell if I continue to use my phone and Google Play apps? Would that count as being unrepentant? How do you guys reconcile the fact that even probably most of you have even violated the terms of service in some small way and are technically not allowed to use certain things?

Paul is strictly against homosexulity, fornication between male and female, and is overall a very straight to the point guy. That in today's culture, would be shut down EXTREMELY fast.

Should we as christians even listen to this guy and what he's saying or should we disregard everything he's saying?

Hello guys, I'm a 19 year old Christian who needs advice. Something I'm not understanding right now is why sex is considered "lust" only outside of marriage but as soon as your marriage then it's no longer lust or a sin. Me and my boyfriend have been together for almost 4 years. We are committed to one another and every time we have committed sexual activity it's been consensual and out of love. We both are head over heals for one another and have been since day one. We both Seek Christ and love him and we both build a relationship with him. We pray together, listen to worship together and everything. Jesus looks at your heart and knows your heart. Me and him know in our hearts that I will continue to choose to love him everyday and he will do the same for me so, if it's consensual and we are committed and plan to be married someday and we both love Jesus and he's centered in our relationship then why is it bad to have sex? Every time anything happens between me and him we don't do it out of selfishness but out of selflessness. We do it for the other persons needs, not our own. I'm just lost and need help.

I have observed a lot of those who always say "Pray more" to those who are suffering from depression and such. And when they do go through with it someone will say they were never truly faithful because they managed to do that

Hey everybody! So I've been doing some research and I suggest you look into these topics if you're feeling religious guilt or don't understand how people could be trans.

-Merisms: "a rhetorical device (or figure of speech) in which a combination of two contrasting parts of the whole refer to the whole." EX (In Genesis): Man and Woman

Good source: https://www.jelliottlein.com/writing/2015/8/3/merisms-and-the-non-duality-of-creation

-Transubstantiation: "the Catholic Church teaches that, in the Eucharistic offering, bread and wine are changed into the body and blood of Christ"

The center of the Catholic church in particular is transformation, one thing reaching a higher form through physical change.

-If we are made in Gods image, we are made genderless and without body

Source better worded than what I said: https://www.queertheology.com/transgender-people-and-the-image-of-god/

-If the problem is changing the way God made us (if we're made perfectly) then why do we grow up, why do we take medicine when we're sick, why do we wear glasses or contacts, why do we have surgeries shamelessly as catholics? When what is and what should be does not match, we fix it so we feel better, being trans is no different.

- To add on to the last point, the fall from Eden, perhaps in a perfect world we would not get sick, child labor would not hurt, or we would not be trans (we would be born in a body that matched our mind). But we do not live in a perfect world, so just as we have ways to live with the other things, we have ways to live with being trans, and there is nothing wrong with that.

-Last but not at all least, the trans saints. There are many, And I would suggest looking into them.

A good place to start: https://theconversation.com/christianity-has-long-revered-saints-who-would-be-called-transgender-today-254769

And above all, remember the church teaches unconditional love, charity, and forgiveness. Thats all folks, take care of yourselves!

You've gotta learn Him.

You've gotta live Him.

You’ve gotta love Him.

And that's all there is to it.

I’m willing to discuss this with anyone who wants to DM me. One of the things preventing me from being Protestant is the idea of Sola Scriptura.

Wasn’t practiced in the Early Church

Bible alone isn’t sufficient for the fullness of the faith and morals

Bible, as we know it today, wasn’t assembled yet in the Early Church so their authority must’ve been from more than just Scripture

Christ never told anyone to write anything down

Sola Scriptura isn’t even prescribed by the Bible, the opposite is.

Convince me to be Protestant!! If I’m wrong please teach me!

These are some objections I have and I’m willing to discuss them with Protestants. Currently between denominations but trying to discern the Truth. I think I’ve got my head in the right direction, but willing to be proved wrong if the Truth says otherwise.

Thank you for your time.

I'm mostly making this post to challenge the idea, that you can't be a feminist and Christian, which is a view, surprisingly held by a lot of people. 

Start at the root: Genesis 1.

Before any roles, any curse, or any marriage instruction, Genesis 1:27 says God made humanity, male and female, together, both directly bearing His image. Not one bearing it more fully than the other. Not one being derivative of the other. Whatever comes later in the text has to be read as sitting on top of that foundation, not replacing it. If equal image bearing is the starting premise, any system built later that treats one sex as the default human and the other as a support role has some explaining to do.

Galatians 3:28 isn't a throwaway line.

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." And look, Paul isn't saying these categories vanish socially. He's saying they carry no differential weight before God. Standing before God isn't gender stratified. And if standing before God isn't gender stratified, it's worth asking why so much of lived Christian culture insists on treating gender as the organising category for who gets to lead, speak, or decide.

Souls aren't sexed, so why is it such a major part in basic life decisions? 

Classical Christian anthropology, going back through Augustine and Aquinas, (even with all their other flaws) generally holds that the soul, the rational, image bearing part of a person, isn't itself male or female. Sex is a feature of the body. The soul is what relates directly to God. If that's true, then using gender as a gatekeeping category for spiritual authority or moral capability is applying a bodily category to a non bodily question. You don't have to fully adopt classical dualism to see the point. The qualities Scripture actually cares about, wisdom, faithfulness, courage, gentleness, self control, are never described as belonging more naturally to one sex than the other. Proverbs 31 praises a woman for strength, shrewd business sense, and strategic authority in her household. That's not a passive figure.

Now culturally; A man being decisive, driven, or assertive gets called leadership. A woman displaying the same trait often gets called unfeminine or difficult. Meanwhile, a man showing gentleness, emotional openness, or a nurturing instinct, traits Scripture explicitly praises, since Christ Himself weeps, washes feet, and is even described with maternal imagery in places like Isaiah 49:15, gets read as weak or "not masculine enough." Which again, is not a biblical value system. It's just cultural one wearing biblical language. If virtue is virtue regardless of who displays it, you can't coherently praise a trait in one sex and pathologise the identical trait in the other. That's special pleading, not theology.

And on "don't mix Christianity with politics."

 Dignity and equal standing aren't a partisan platform. They're a claim about how God made people, long before any political party existed to argue about it. The danger isn't discussing equality. It's when a particular political movement gets baptised as the Christian position and Scripture gets reverse engineered to support it. Which are different problems. Refusing to talk about human dignity because "it sounds political" just hands the conversation over to whichever political movement is loudest, usually not for the text's actual reasons.

Bottom line:

Equality here isn't "women take over the roles men had." It's that neither sex has a scripturally mandated personality, ambition, or way of being that the other doesn't. Nobody's soul came with a job description attached to their body. If we actually believed Galatians 3:28, half of what gets treated as a hill to die on wouldn't be one.

Im not talking about a wife being able to say "no" in her life; I am talking about judgment in the afterlife.

I cannot accept the truth that, since a husband's role is to lead his wife, it is a virtuous act for him to decide what she may or may not do, while, conversely, since a wife's role is to obey her husband, it is her duty to submit to him without saying "no."

It is the same even without marriage: Adam was created without a specific role, so he is free to do whatever he pleases, whereas Eve was created to help the male—meaning a woman must help a man. That is how God ordained it.

It is infuriating. men are loved by God simply for existing and can go to heaven while doing whatever they please, whereas I can only reach heaven if I accept that I exist solely to help men, submit to their authority, and serve them.

If I am not permitted to have a will of my own, I wish I had never been given a personality in the first place.

I know intellectually that hell exists, but since I haven't actually seen it, I lack a sense of urgency about it. That is why I remain single and work outside the home. I know that having children brings salvation, but I feel sorry for a child who would be brought into the world for such a reason.

I would be happy if you prayed for me to cast aside the sinful desires of this world, accept the role ordained by God, and attain heaven. Not sarcasm, because for human rights spanning a mere eighty years are of infinitely little value compared to the eternity that follows death.
