When a Christian doesn't use the bible to explain your ideas and use our feelings Is the path to lead you to satan. Fact Is fact and your feelings doesn't matters. she Said the language shapes your reality and i really think about something prostitution and adultery exists thé Time of Jésus, should We reinterpretate the bible to intégrate those sins and i know some people We are so unfaithful and they think that's a part of their identity , God Comes to change Bad save us

    At the 24 years I was dramatically rescued by Jesus from a demonic spirit. The next day I was born again, free from 2 areas of addiction. 16 years later, ten years into a good marriage, a homosexual spirit, I believe, came on me, causing me to feel sexual attraction to men. I held my ground (Eph 6:13) for one full year, after which it departed. I believe many psychologically vulnerable people who are not solidly moored to the truth of God can fall prey to such an overwhelming attack. So yes, prayer is very important, and perhaps in some cases deliberate exorcism. Be Blessed!

      I would argue any group that preaches counter to the gospel is not part of the church, since the church in itself is the body of Believers (Romans 16:5) not the building. Part of me is baffled by the fact that people are even willing to debate heretics like this the disciples would have just said “your not a believe because of a,b,c” and moved on and excommunicated the individuals until they repented which is the biblical thing to do according to Paul. I do like Calvin though he’s is a very smart man.

    “I use terms like trans-queer-LatinX because of apophatic theology.” Wait, what? Apophatic theology is about how God is beyond all names and beyond all categories. Why would this inspire us to apply labels to ourselves? Every human is an image-bearer, and has nearly limitless potential to reflect God, and you think the appropriate response is to slap labels on yourself? “Sure, I’m a microcosmic infinity reflecting the macrocosmic infinity, but what’s REALLY important is that I’m gay.”

    Calvin, I admire your being true to Christ's teachings and to your mission. Speaking from my own experience, I know that truth hurts more than anything else. That is the reason why you get attacked so much. Of course, it is easier to give in to our desires rather than abstain from them. As an Orthodox Christian I share all of the beliefs that you have addressed in this episode. Prayer and fasting are key to true enlightenment and without them I doubt that anyone will be able to be saved. Hedonism is the opposite, and thus it should be remembered that it opens a door (or rather, a gate) to hell. It is so good to see that there are still people around who realize that, and, which is more important, are prepared to speak out and to face defamation.
    God help you, Calvin, and guard you 🙏🙏🙏!

    Lots of people talking about the translation of Adam here so here are my 2 cents.
    Adam can be translated as humanity, not just man, so I think Calvin should broaden his understanding as being too literal in the English translations often isn’t helpful.
    However, Genesis not only says ‘Adam’ but ‘Eve’ too so there is obviously a point of distinction between the masculine of humanity in Adam and the feminine of eve, there is no way to argue against this. There is humanity but also clearly two genders named for a reason regardless of their translation.

      “Thou shalt not lie with a man as one does with a woman…” the Bible is pretty clear about there being only male and female in passages outside of the creation story. The translation of “Adam” is simply a distraction away from this. I mean use your two eyes and see the distinctions between men and women and how they interact with each other being integral to procreation (which was Gods commandment to Adam and Eve after kicking them out)

    I’m sure that most of the cultures of the world, developed and undeveloped, have different words for male and female that are not based on power dynamics nor are socially constructed. It would be very interesting to talk with an anthropologist and see if there are differences cross culturally.

    My Spanish family say Latinx is used exclusively by white, middle class liberals determined to colonise a language and a culture with their own little empire.
    I really enjoyed this conversation, Calvin is always eloquent and thoughtful and Robyn's perspective was interesting, it's nice to hear a proper conversation with no name-calling or insults. So kudos to Robyn for taking part. I wish you'd get H M Sealey on, her Christian fantasies are fantastically good at stripping religion from Christianity and just focusing on the King (Jesus) But her dystopian books are even better, she has such a good handle of where the whole identarian thing is going and how bad it could be. Just read This Broken Land or the Privileged Few and tell me you don't feel a chill.

    An example of Christianity dealing...or attempting to deal...with wokeism. My son is a Christian and against abortion and for, through the Spirit, attempting to live Biblically. His wife,,who ostensibly was Christian, finally came out as atheist she decided she's wasted her life being a stay at home mom, raising their two girls, whom she came to see as impediments to her doing something "important" - working and making lots of money. She took a job in Washington state and moved on (we live in Southern California). She supposedly wants my son to leave the girls behind and join her in Washington (I'm not sure that's really what she wants. Because he's a Christian, my son won't divorce her for leaving). She has come out in favor of everything that today is considered woke, considered "in", They were having one of their nightly discussions/talks and discussing abortion after 22 weeks. He did get her to agree that abortion is deliberately killing a baby (I go farther...I consider it murder). She sees nothing wrong with it but tends to think after 22 weeks is possibly not OK. She asked my son why they can't "meet halfway"? My son said he thought they were meeting halfway; they both agreed, basically, that abortion after 22 weeks is not OK. He asked his wife what represented "meeting halfway" to her. Her answer: "You coming over to my side". THERE YOU HAVE IT. THAT IS WOKEISM. YOU AGREE WITH US AND COME OVRR TO OUR SIDE, AND YOU DESERVE TO BE OSTRACIZED, CANCELLED, VILLAINIZED, IF YOU DON'T. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK...BUT WE ARE THE "TOLERANT" AND "INCLUSIVE" AND "COMPASSIONATE" ONES.

      @MrSeedi76 Год назад

      Nope. Radicals, evangelicals and fundamentalists are bending and deliberately misquoting the Bible to find "evidence" that fits their hateful worldview. So far I have never in any of these debates seen a fundamentalist even know what the fundamentals of Christianity actually are. Or admit that the old testament laws for example simply don't apply for the most part to Christians. Paul's letters are pretty clear on that as were the apostles in "Acts". Only the noahide laws apply to Christians. Those include eating kosher BTW. And they speak of porneia which in the one case where Jesus used it, means infidelity in the marriage. It might mean other excessive behavior. But never is the Bible implying for example that there even is such a thing as sexual orientation or that male vs female has any significance when all are "in christ", let alone that there was a "hierarchy of sins" in which, as many people seem to assume, anything that people do in their bedroom, was particularly important.
      I rarely see Christians in RUclips comments argue about the injustices in the world, the gap between rich and poor, etc. Social justice or anything that was relevant for the teachings of Jesus don't seem to matter anymore.

  • @traceyedson9652
    @traceyedson9652 2 года назад +3

    It seems for Robyn “conversation” is an end in itself. The elephant in the room is if there is such a thing as Christian truth that transcends culture, and how abstract or particular is it. Perhaps for Robyn “conversation” and the restriction of “power” in all forms is the most broad or broad at the meta level of Christian faith, whereas for Calvin it seems to be the written witness of Scripture. Both beg many questions, of course. I’m not sure many of those questions were broached in this conversation. Perhaps in future?

    There are currently three types of Christianity:
    1. Hardcore rules and hardcore communication. "Do this and don't do that or burn in hell!!!"
    2. Hardcore rules and kind communication. "We are all sinners. The rules will not change. We do not yell at people."
    3. No rules because "Jesus loves everybody anyway".
    Number 3 is really weird and looks like some kind of an infiltration. Number 1 is scary and depressing. It also pushes people away from Christianity and Christians. I am an ardent fan of number 2. Tough rules (the ideals must remain!) and kind communication. That's why I find people like Calvin Robinson (but also Bishop Barron) close to my heart.

I applaud calvin for standing on truth but I also appreciated Robyn's conversation in spite of that. I think that She responds well to the conservative opinions that differ and there were even glimpses of common ground on subjects like cancel culture and progressivism which was refreshing to see. I respect her for coming on there and having a kind exchange because to be honest I don't find that to be common place from the position that she's coming from. I'll be praying for her, but kudos for the mutual kindness in this conversation. With no disrespect, I'm assuming Robyn's biological gender to be female by facial characteristics if im not mistaken and refuse to say otherwise. If I'm mistaken then replace every she with a He.
