Ladies. Beware of male Christian players.

[1still_waters]

Ladies.
I need to warn you about something.
Males.
Yes Christian men.
Who are players.
They're hard to spot.
But easy to fall for.

Your idealism, and desire for Godliness, is the heartstring these deceptive players manipulate.
You'll fall for them easily, because their deception is wrapped up in packaging that can sway the heart long before your head catches on to the scam.

By then your heart may be so involved, you'll blindly ignore the truth, as you believe the scam, even though you know it's a full on scam.

These men are spiritual, scriptural, idealist smooth talkers.

They know the right spiritual words to say.
They're great with the Bible jargon.
They know how to appeal to your passions for idealism.

On the surface, they look like they're saying things of great depth and importance. You'll think you have just encountered a modern day philosopher who can speak at the deepest levels of the heart.
But underneath the candy-coated mumbo jumbo, is a black chasm of emptiness, who's only purpose is to manipulate your desire for the good, so they can use you for their very selfish desires.

Sisters in Christ, beware of these men.
Watch the strings of your heart, because these men know how to play them well.
All for their own selfish purposes.

Most of the "Christian players" I know of are pretty transparent. I'll never forget my first night of prayer at LU. This one gent was going from group of girls to group of girls offering to pray for them, if guys showed up he would include them too so as to not look obvious. I thought it was sickening yet somewhat funny.

Maybe he knows that all he has to do is appeal to one particular target audience. The rest can think anything they want of him.

I was friends with a guy that could be described as a christian player. He wanted to be all the girls 'friend', so that they would go to him and talk to him about their problems. He loved the attention, and I think he felt a satisfaction and pride thinking he was such a good person. He really lack maturity, humility and self-awareness. He would get jealous if I was paying attention to other guys. He wanted to keep me in his back pocket as a good friend, but he didn't treat me well in front of other people. I broke free from the friendship this time last year, and never looked back.

Good grief.....men.....

 

[Nautilus]

Well I mean there are bad people in every bunch. But yeah when there is such an idealized opinion of the 'perfect christian guy' then its not to act like it...

Listen you Jackalope riding Moderator. I've had enough of your shallow pedantic point that you've been driving home for the last couple of weeks.

Yes I get it. You see scripture as some cold lifeless thing to be studied in contemplative silence rather than applied. It moves me, it inspires me but, somehow that bothers you. I don't make a very good armchair Christian. I can't just send off my tithe, mark my attendance and disappear when the service is over. Sue me for wanting to go and do likewise. Shoot me for wanting to take a few people with me.


I know that you would want to shut me up about almost everything I say because it rubs you the wrong way. But if you think for a minute that I am any different outside of here or that I am who I am for the sake of women, you are bat nuts crazy. I'm not some fairy loving dreamer who longs for fair pastures of white lace and dewy meadows to trot my Unicorn.

I want to see people get married because they actually deeply love each other. I want to see people escape the Churchianity trap that emasculates men and leads women to believe that their ideal man isn't right next to them waiting for her to see it. Christianity is not just a safe harbor for raising children in sunday school. It should be who we are and what we do with our lives.


I get that you think I'm here to rustle the heart feathers of some precious maiden. With my smooth charming words and my "deep thoughts" Well guess what I'm not. I'm here to stop people from living trapped boring lives and making the same mistake that I have made. I don't want to see anyone get into a relationship with their head and their logic telling each other, "Hey when can work out whatever problem we encounter." Because that only works when more than one person tries. Head logic only works in business arrangements.


I am an idealist. I am not like you. I am not who I am for anyone but for me. If you are reading this and you feel like I have played you or that I have done or said anything inconsistent or that I have so much as hurt your feelings, message me or file a complaint with the Jackalope Rider.

Listen you Jackalope riding Moderator.

file a complaint with the Jackalope Rider.

Thanks for not calling it a bunny.
So many call it a bunny.
But it's not a Jackalope either.
It's a jackrabbit.


You said..

I haven't had any complaints from anyone on you. From what I can tell, people think you're a thoughtful sincere person.

You also said.

I can't really shut up anyone unless they violate Christian chat rules. I haven't seen you come even close to that.

I'm sorry for you reading into this post how you have.
That wasn't intended.

Be informed that the girl next door eventually grew-up, went to college and either corrupted herself with the professors, or became an open book soaked in the wisdom of Jesus Christ.

You will never possess what legitimately belongs to God.

I agree with your post, but any single man who calls himself a Christian player is not a Christian at all, he has never crucified his flesh with Christ, and is in his carnal mind, sold under sin, you can smoke them out in a heart beat! Just preach repentance and faith proven by deeds to them, and watch them run away, or argue for sin or why they can lust and still be saved, or play you as an object.

This is not of God, run far from them, seek the truth, then stand against the the many of false ways creeping into the lukewarm church!

Gal 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, that he also will reap.
Gal 6:8 For he sowing to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh. But he sowing to the Spirit will reap life everlasting from the Spirit

Who else is as vocal about stuff that drives you bonkers than me?

I so much feel the same because I was made to live with that kind of hell for many years. My parents almost did not marry but their mentor, who was a well respected member of the christian community told them that they were Christians and going into ministry, so the cause of their problems would just work themselves out after they were married. I've also seen the same advice given to friends and then I get to endure the years of tears from all parties involved and unfortunately in my case, several suicidal issues.

God CAN restore all but this way of thinking is false in all forms. You can't just marry anyone around you, life is too short and too precious.

There was this thread, the Unicorn Thread, and the non-emotion scripture thread.

I mean C'mon. If you're not pointing that thing at me, then who could possibly have inspired so many threads?

I went to a new church on Sunday. It was very different than churches I have attended.
It was very quiet, and peaceful, and simple.
That inspired that thread.

The unicorn thread.
You must not enter chat much.
There are multiple conversations weekly where people have impractical expectations (In my opinion.) for relationships/marriage.
