Wednesday Bullets: Brief on some ethics

Wednesday Bullets: Brief on some ethics

Edited August 5, 2021

• Image two from Facebook: There is a good possibility, of course, those two dogs are eying another dog, rather than a person that honked.

• To be clear, I hold to a biblical, Christian worldview within a Reformed tradition. 

• This includes biblical, New Testament, Christian sexual ethics. 

• That being stated, as a theologian and philosopher of religion, I do reasonably ponder on and review various non-Christian philosophies and different worldviews.

• I listen to and watch You Tube.

• This is a source of some of my website work material. 

• This does include dating and relationship sermons, lectures and talks from Christians.

• This does include secular talks and lectures.

• I do have some significant agreement with Red Pill, which is not one definitive movement.

• By my definition, Red Pill is a men's movement which attempts to realistically look at dating and marriage with the use of reason.

• This is not to be confused with MGTOW, which is Men Going Their Own Way, which is related, and is more radically against romantic relationships, in general, it seems to me.

• I am absolutely pro-marriage in a biblical sense, and follow the New Testament for standards.

• I do agree with much of what I have heard on You Tube in regards to Red Pill, as far as reasonable and often true evaluations of the secular dating and marriage scene, and philosophies within the western world system, in 2021.

• I do not overall, support the sexual ethics of the Red Pill movement.

• On the one hand, from more the one source within the Red Pill movement, I have heard and read it suggested and taught that a man that does choose to date, should not date a woman again, if the man does not receive sexual benefits from her on the first date.

• On the other hand, from more than one source within the Red Pill movement, I have heard it suggested and taught that a man should only date and marry a woman with as few previous sexual partners as possible, preferably zero sexual partners. 

• If a person embraces both of these concepts, every dating encounter that features pre-marital sex (biblically known as fornication if both partners are unmarried, or adultery when a married person has sexual relations with someone not his/her spouse), that does not lead to a committed, life-long marriage, actually makes the western dating and relationship pool decrease in quantity and quality for other men trying to find a female partner with less, little or no sexual experience.

• There were several persons in local Singles (35 + year old's) that were offended that I favoured a potential partner with less or little experience, because this implied likely a younger potential dating and marriage partner for me.

• I have never embraced Singles. I biblically embrace mutual, spiritual, intellectual, romantic attraction within New Testament standards. 

• But, although I certainly have struggled with thought sin (Matthew 5-7), (paraphrased) Birds of the same feather, flock together.
