Any Christians Out There......?

[dlguy41984]

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 understand your point. However, because I believe that any kind of sexual activity outside of marriage is wrong, and being a single guy, this presents a problem for me. And again, I cannot stress enough, I am not saying that it is a sin just to wear diapers. That would be an incredibly foolish and ignorant thing to say.

In regards to your quote, it is true. But forgiveness is something that shouldn't be taken for granted or taken advantage of. When someone you love forgives you for something, typically you don't turn around and do it again.

Please understand, this is my struggle. I am not condemning anyone, and I don't expect anyone in here to live to the standards that I do, especially if they don't believe in them.

I would say that if you feel that way about it, then you would feel better to not indulge in it.

Agreed.

This will be my last post in these forums. I'd like to thank each of you who gave helpful feedback and took this seriously without making it seem like I was "attacking" anyone with religion or my beliefs (and even if you did feel that way, read my original post, and you'll see the only person I'm "attacking" is myself). Lastly, I want to say that I am not condemning anyone who disagrees with me. Yes, I am a Christian, but I do not expect people who aren't to live by the same standards that I do.

Actually, I often wish that I could slip back into a Christian paradigm for just that reason. I find a lack of objective truth/reality to be an existentially frustrating conundrum. Of course, I realize that's part of making one's own decisions(and I would say growing up philosophically), but I have a tendency to be a big baby sometimes.

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.

Porn breeds the sin of lust, and is usually born out of the sin of lust. Thus, it's generally considered to be inherently sinful.

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

What's a saracen?

Wrong. If they turn your thoughts to sex with anyone but your wife (or husband, if yer a woman), then it's considerd a sin. Sin resides in the heart and mind, not just in the deeds of people. Not all sinners noticeably hurt themselves or others.

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......

Actually, there were originally 12, and all were worked up by some monk, then revised by his church... There are 10 major sins according to the Bible, and not all of them are in the list of "7 deadly sins". So long as one is honestly and truthfully sorry for their sins and repents, then they'll be saved.

The catholic church is mad with power, and some of their ways are considered wrong by other Christian churches..

Sorry to read that you are pulling back to no more than lurking. Let's all not confuse guilty feelings with religon. It's easy to make that link, but from my studies, religion deals with the big stuff, not what you should feel guilty for doing. As far as that goes, I think it's more about what you do to others including how you treat them.

I know from experience that giving up diapers is futile. When you figure that out, I hope you come back.

*hugs Goddess* MMMmmm Thanks for the free will!

Ummm.....DW, sorry to burst your bubble, it was Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart that gave us Freewill!

so i just have to ask, can we not just say "i'm a christian" because there are so many many different factions of christianity, all with their unique interpretations of the bible and what it means to be a christian. Not all factions of christianity believe for example sex outside of marriage is a sin, or that looking at porn or masturbating is a sin. How about we be a bit more specific in our branch of christianity. CLaiming that everyone who is a christian believes the same thing is claiming all women can't drive, or all men are pigs. (ok ok... lets not get into those arguments.... )

But I thought all women really can't drive...is that not true? Just kidding

All I can say to the original poster, if you feel convicted about what your doing, then stop and get on with your life. If you are looking for justification then you need not bring others into that decision. What you do is entirely up to you and at the end of the day, God still loves you.

Also, on the subject of female drivers, that only applies to soccer moms and pretty much every truck driver, male or female. I love winter in New England for that very reason.

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?

Back in the day I made a good website for a Christian perspective on diapers: http://intodiapers.blogspot.com

Basically I answer the questions you ask Biblically. Many people have different opinions and most just project their own mind's ideal onto the mind of God. Remember that God does have mercy on us all and forgave our sins past, present and future by the sacrifice of His Son. He desires mercy more than sacrifice.

It was a hard lesson for me to learn, but God does not want us to feel guilty about things that Jesus did not specifically Biblically condemn. I would say you should not give up diapers, you should give up the guilt because there is nothing sinful about wearing diapers but there is something sinful about feeling guilty about it. Nowhere in the Bible does it mention diapers. Even masturbation is not mentioned specifically. Lust is however, and is something Christians struggle with so much. This world is filled with porn and every temptation known to man. Pornea, the Greek word for lust, means specifically adultery, prostitution and incest. That is what God does not like, not diapers. Jesus even compares lust to adultery. There is a difference between the heart and the body, between what you feed your eyes and what you look at once. The point is the situation you are in will not be corrected by quiting diapers, because you will still have the guilt in your heart. My suggestion is to really research the scripture. Get a Strong's concordance. Dig deep into the Bible and you will be set free. “Everything is permissible for me”—but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me”—but I will not be mastered by anything.” (1 Cor. 6:12)

Speaking as a Catholic and a DL, I can say that there isn't really an issue for me. Granted, I was once more neurotic about my fetish as a teenager, but I learned to accept this as merely one aspect of my personality. And I agree with other posters on here that lust, while a powerful impetus, is harmful when put into action. There are many who probably have had fantasies and thoughts of the most lewd variety, yet never once acted upon them (and Lord have mercy on the ones for whom, sadly, the opposite is true). So long as one's interest in diapers isn't fueled by other things (like theft or abuse), it isn't a problem. Let go of guilt and discover your joy; after all, Christ Himself said he didn't come to condemn the world, but to save it.

*mounts a different soapbox*

And in case anyone is wondering, no, I am not speaking on behalf of the entire Catholic Church. Yes, we have laypeople and clergymen who decry homosexuality as "sinful" and who preach on abortion as if it were only an issue for the unborn and not also for the mother. But not all of us think that way. Maybe it makes us "less" Catholic, but we at least strive to show compassion and not condemnation. After all, the only time our Savior got mad was at the hypocrites in the temple who followed the letter of the law, but not the heart of it.

*dismounts soapbox*

We now return you to your regular programming.

Also, on the subject of female drivers, that only applies to soccer moms and pretty much every truck driver, male or female.

Not entirely true. My mom has never been a soccer mom, but she drives bad enough to scare a demolition derby driver... Litterally. We know a few who compete locally and they won't get in the car with her... One of these days, she's goinna hafta taking a driving test and will be without a driver's license afterward. Last year, she got pulled over for doing 80mph in 45mph zone. A few years ago, we actually had a coversation that went as follows:

Me: Watch the curb.

Her: I know how to drive! *proceeds to drive over the curb and onto the sidewalk.*

She also once slammed on the breaks and backed up on the highway because she missed her turn, rather than turning around less than a mile up the road at the next intersection.

So, there's proof of non-soccer moms being incredibly bad drivers.

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?

You raise a good point. Let your conscience be your guide. I have infantile issues because I never had a mom or dad that cared about me (including my adoptive parents). So I struggle with anger issues often when I can't have mommy in those times of need. It took a while, but I learned to depend upon Jesus to fill that void, and He does, every time. He certainly doesn't care what we wear. Remember, Jonah prayed while wearing a big fish! Don 't give up on trying not to sin, but don't get discouraged because you can't! That's why we need Jesus! luv and hugs
