After all, it's about having a relationship with a man who loves you unconditionally; it's about submitting to a dominant alpha-male fatherfigure, it's, to quote an Orthodox Archbishop, about being "virgins who offer our virginity to God our Groom who has purchased us with His Life and cares for us forever." pravmir.com/straight-talk-to-a-single-christian-about-sex/
Is it really that surprising that in other religions, there is a gender balance, but in Christianity there are much more women sitting in church on sunday etc. than men?
After all ... it's women and homosexuals who want a relationship with a dominant father figure who loves them etc., it's women who rather want to suffer (turn the other cheek) than to fight.
I don't say this as someone who is super anti-Christian or something, but as a Baptist who is struggling with his faith and who actually hopes that you prove me wrong, I guess...
If you consider only the first part, before Jesus, you'll see a God that is merciless, destructive, a quick temper, helps only his own folks and massacres others.
The second part is where love, modesty, warmth, modesty, pacifist and socialist tones are introduced.

yes, its very feminine, they pray to their father father for forgiveness and eat shit.

Christianity is not effeminate.
But Protestantism is.
Kevin Rogers
Err, if anything the Fundamentalist Protestants are the most masculine - but look at the Catholic Church: gay priests, gay theologians and almost exclusively women laity.
Jonathan Lopez
For me personally, haven't seen any significant gender balance where I live, but I won't discredit what it might be like for your area, and my assumption on this is that working men tend to have less time for religious commitments compared to housewives and single women
Outside of that, it seems to be that your interpretation of the bible and being submissive seems weirdly gendered and sexual. A father figure can be respected by a son, and he can see him as a powerful leader and follow his instructions and guidance, does that make him effeminate?

You are spot on. Christianity and Judaism are regarded as femenine, "Lunar" religions.
Religions like European Paganisms and Islam are "Solar", that is to say, masculine religions.
There are many signs of this. Jesus for example got himself nailed at a cross as a passive subject. That is the complete opposite from masculine, war-like religions in which their main figures are "active actors".
This is a big thing. They say that one of the earliest dogmatic divisions of religions were the Lunar and the Solar, the femenine and the masculine.

>Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Romans 12:20
Isn't that a very feminine kind of thinking as well? Such a kind of fake friendliness and fake smile in order to "heap coals of fire on their head."
>Islam >solar >literally abomination of abrachamic religion and arabic moon cult HAHAHAHAHAHAH also >britcuck
Luke Green
nah. at it's root is a mixture of roman mystery cults that had blood sacrifices. in fact, i'm going to mass later today where we will be doing a blood sacrifice. transubstantiation is literally that the bread is the body of jesus and the wine is his blood.
that's pretty hard core.
Daniel Reyes
It's genuine friendliness with the purpose of converting them
All kindness has a price
And the price is tuning to God
Joseph Sanders
Well yeah, there is a lot of fake masculinity out of there, the Jack Donovan kind of "masculinity", homosexuals who talk more about muscles than about being a father etc.
But ... maybe just both is wrong...
Dylan Bailey
If anything, it's Islam
Landon Myers
Jesus got himself nailed to a cross to show the romans that even their worse punishment was nothing for him. he would just sleep it off and come back from the dead.
like, do your worst senpai, you can't hurt me.
Thomas Russell
Genuine masculinity is having honour and integrity
And absolute integrity can only be gained by God
Eli Perez
When God inseminated Mary, Joseph didn't do anything. He raised Jesus as his son. Which makes him a cück. Christianity is literally cück religion.

This is why I love Jesus. When my daughter tells me about her sex life with tyrone I know doing nothing shows her who is really in control.
You know what I mean? Based Jesus, man gotta love him.

>For me personally, haven't seen any significant gender balance where I live
I used to go to a Latin/Gregorian/Old Mass in my Catholic time where there also many men, then to some Free Baptist Church ("Freikirche" in German that is not in anyway related to the official churches and the state, etc.) where there were also many men .... but these were the two exceptions I know; the only two exceptions.
Everywhere else it's almost exclusively women: old women on sundays and young liberal women on church events.

Yes. In the new testament there is even the allegory that the church is the bride of jesus.

Christianity is the original cuck religion, I mean literally you are joseph and your whore wife takes the seed of a greater man.
Juan Clark
It's certainly not an ultra-masculine, hyper-militaristic Creed like the tribalistic polytheistic faiths of the Greeks or Norse. Christianity promotes a balance of femininity and masculinity, most perfectly expressed in the heterosexual married family. Male and female, masculine and feminine, are desktop complete one another.
And as for all that sexual pseudo-analysis, that's nothing but prurient Freudian claptrap.
John Campbell
nah. it's actually part of previous mystery cult ideas. conquer death.
