Any Christians Out There......?

[dlguy41984]

So, I'm a Christian, and as long as I've been interested in diapers I've struggled with it. I do not believe it is inherently wrong to wear diapers if you don't have a need to. However, I also know that most of the time that I have worn them it usually leads me to do things I would consider sinful (viewing pornographic pictures, etc.). I definitely feel like this is something I should give up, because why put yourself in a situation where you know you could potentially screw up?

[Jabez]

I like to think of myself as Christian even though I mess up a lot these days and feel more like a hyprocrite for calling myself as such. At one point, earlier in my life I was much more into the Word than I am now. But the one thing I have never had trouble with is linking my religion and diapers in any way. I don't think there is anything wrong with diapers themselves. Now if they do put you in a position of temptation, then perhaps it is one of those things better not done if you are likely to succumb to such temptation. But that is something you would have to work out for yourself.

I'm confused, how is wearing a diaper make u want to look at porn?, and porn isn't really sinful tbh as its part of the normal thing to do, its just not openly discused.

Yep, it's like being at the top of the roller coaster before it goes down.

I was born Catholic and baptized, but i never attended CCD or (legitimately took communion), on top of that i've porbably have been in a church less than a hundred times. I'm sure the Bible is good reading I've just never read it.

As far as my family is concerned, i consider myself Christian around them, yet inside consider myself a follower of Jediism. The Catholic Church especially has driven me away with all the intolerance that they preach.

May the Force be with You

Thanks for the genuine, helpful advice.

Hmmm, scratching head - this diapered monk warrior is wondering how to convert the saracens to diaperism.

[curiositykilledthecat]

Christian here of the born again variety. I'm guessing u r a dude. I'm not gonna tell you what to do however I will tell you that don't riddle yourself with guilt. Pornography can be a struggle with many christians, simply put, avoid temptation and recognize when your weak. Ultimately it's your walk so do as the scripture says and "work out youre own salvation with fear and trembling before the Lord(I'm paraphrasing a it). Biblically lust is wrong and porn is lust, however the diapers are no big deal and just operate under your convictions and allow God to work in you and the rest will fall in line. Ultimately just keep in prayer and seek direction.

This is my only response and iof you don't agree with porn and lust take that up with God. I'm not attacking anyone, as I have my weak moments too, so relax everyone. Now I'm done before all the haters start attacking this thread.

I don't believe that I am myself a Jedi Knight as you'd see in the Movies, I use the idea behind the Force to guide me (being kind to others, looking out for those weaker than you and those who cannot speak for themselves, and being as peaceable as possible). For the longest time I haven't subscribed to the idea that there can be ONE higher power, since events are the creation of man himself. Every human can choose to be selfish or selfless. Looking back at historic events, things like the Holocaust turned me against the idea that there could be a compassionate God.

(basically, Jediism is a blend of Buddhism and Taoism with a great set of movies to go with it, a kick-butt John Williams soundtrack, and lightsabers!)

*steps off the soapbox and puts it away*

For those of you wondering.....I first lost my belief in God, then studied Eastern religions, took some ideas from a few of them then mixed and matched. It wasn't until AFTER that when i found out there actually WAS such a thing as Jediism.....and being a Star Wars fan, i said "cool" and went for it.

Well I define my religion as closely following the pastafarianism dogma. I honestly don't remember a day when I believed in god. I can remember going to church at 5 years old and thinking god and prayer was silly.

yes this can be a struggle for any body no matter the religion....

wearing a diaper and having sexual feelings with them or others with them are not sinful unless it cuases you to cause harm mental,or physical to you or others or becomes so controlling of your life that becomes the MOST important thing in your life.

nude pictures or pictures of people in diapers are the same. they are not sinfull unless it cuases harm to yourself or others.

if you spend all of your money and time on porn and diaper paraphnalia you may need to consider you have a problem and it has become "sinfull"

if you see a photo and get "excited" once in while that could be considerd normal for the human condition as WE ALL have sexual desires,and such

its all about how you handle and control your desires, time, etc. not the ABDL lifestyle itself.

i will end with this statement and you can infer what you will from your own convictions. "FOR ALL Fall short of the Glory of God"

and you know all of the other refrences about forgiveness and what that means.

I will admit that I am not a Christian from a faith-based perspective. However, I live in a Christian society so I am influenced by those values(positively as well as negatively) and make a very strong effort to keep up on the topic.

That being said, isn't indulgence in sexual desires for the simple sake of indulgence in those desires congruous with lust? I really can not see how pornography differs from a stack of diapers if both are causing arousal. If one were to over-indulge in what is for some, a very literal lust for diapers, wouldn't that be a sin? That being said, it seems to me that it's more the intent behind these actions and how the affect one's relationship with God that is more important than the actions themselves. It strikes me that these things become a problem when they begin to erode one's faith. So, if one were to begin to distance themselves from God in the pursuit of earthly lust by commissioning more sins in the pursuit of that lust, or perhaps even more egregious, begin to value that lust more than their faith, then we would be in metaphysical trouble.

I've never really been a letter of the law sort when it comes to religion though admittedly. I can get a lot out of the Bible if I am looking at things metaphorically and making an attempt to discern the meaning behind the words, but I never have been able to understand those who choose to stick to what is literally presented. I understand that the Bible doesn't directly mention diapers, but it seems clear to me that it speaks universally of all carnal desires when lust is referred to.

If you look at the 7 deadly sins

Lust

Gluttony

Greed

Sloth

Wrath

Envy

Pride

and break down why these are sin's you will see that actions themselves are not the sins its what the actions lead to... for instance lust.

if you lust at a woman its not the fact you see the woman or are attracted to her its that if your married / dating you could cheat or leave your partner or for some other actions like rape etc. its the actions that you do in response of seeing a woman and bieng attracted to her that become sinful. as those actions hurt you,others. this applys to all forms bieng diapers ,shoes for some or any other thing you can think of etc.

you can lust for a big screen TV you want it bad but if you don't steal it or not pay another bill so you can buy it. than you are not Hurting yourself or others. and it cant be sin to want a TV.

all of the sins can be broken down this way.

Being pridefull is actually good but if your pride can be a sin if becuase of your pride you do something or not do something that will cause harm to you or others becuase of those actions ...

all sins end in hurting someone or yourself being mental or physical or cuases others to sin.

so if you look at your actions and can determine that it cuases no harm to you,others in any way than it cant be sinfull.

just my own opinion based on my life experience, we all have em......

The roller coaster is really going to begin when all the anti-religious people on the forum start to chime in.

[WallaWalla]

*snip*

I agree entirely. As far as I know, what makes them mortal sins is that they fundamentally challenge the relationship that one holds with God. For instance, if one is too lustful, then they love sensual pleasure more than God. If one is gluttonous, then they love excess...so on and so forth. If people have faith in God and seek to honor him with their actions, then I do not think that they will suffer for indulgence of earthly pleasures so long as they listen closely to their conscience. Not that I am supporting a 'faith not works' argument...but that's another story altogether.

I understand that many people take a strictly biblical approach to Christianity, but I think that anyone(Protestant, Catholic, or Atheist) can benefit from reading the wealth of Christian theology that has been written over the centuries. While not all of it I agree with, there has been a great deal that I have benefited tremendously from reading. If for nothing other than a contrasting point of view, I encourage everyone to read Thomas Aquinas and Augustine of Hippo on that note.

not really religious, more of a moral issue, thats why all religions have "sins" ,

when all is said and done and the universe ends it all boils down to "do no harm".

I'm with Mischa on this one. At some point earlier in my life I decided there obviously isn't a compassionate god, so I ditched the idea. Here is how I view your situation...wearing diapers and looking at porn and getting aroused while in diapers and whatnot is not affecting others in any way, so why sweat it? Your god wouldn't be a very good one if he got upset because you prefer to wear underwear that holds pee now would he. Sex is a natural thing and a beautiful thing if I do say so myself, so what is so wrong with viewing some pornographic pictures or videos?

Just my 2 cents.

My point is whenever threads like these are started, despite how it is intended, there are ALWAYS the anti-religion people who post about how much they hate it, how meaningless it seems to them, and criticize those of us that are religious.

I was raised in a very Christian family and to this day attend church at least twice a month. I'm not, nor will I ever be a bible beater, but I have a strong belief in God. My church (Lutheran), teaches that the one and only with into heaven is faith in God. No sin is greater than another. I drank underage, smoke, tried illegal drugs, swear a lot, lived out of wedlock, plus many other sins according to my church, so I diapers are far down on my list of things that God would disapprove of. Wearing diapers is far down on God's sin list.

Sort of my views on things. Like I tried to advise the op, pray, seek wisdom and operate based upon your convictions.

Technically I am a graduate from RBTC and can vouch theologically about carnal desires and the lot, however unless it's your own conviction I would be blowing smoke in the wind.

I didn't say that wearing diapers was a sin.
