Intrinsic Intentions of Patheos/Pinterest?

Cautious Discernment is Needed to Avoid Morality Derailment

It is understood and accepted that those who claim to be "Christian" are a proverbial "mixed bag" of proverbial "chaff" within "wheat" - or plainly: good with bad, purity with pollution, orthodoxy with heresy.

No one - even no Christian - is perfect as to everything he or she puts on the internet -- even though in Christ they are expected (or better yet: required) to be perfect as their Heavenly Father is perfect.

Cemeteries of deceased Christians, who expired both because of the sins of others who either gradually or quickly polluted and murdered them with careless and irresponsible waste, intolerance, bigotry, prejudice, slander, indifference, misrepresentations, and malicious hatred . . . and because of their own sins essentially involuntarily committed under duress from the accursed and relentlessly-impenitent aforementioned wicked . . . attest to:

Proverbs 25:26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.

Isaiah 64:6 We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.

Habakkuk 1:4 So the law is slacked and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous, so justice goes forth perverted.

And yet, the Spirit -- using His complete accurately-translated/non-corrupted-nor-twisted Word (the Holy Bible in its non-cultic entirety) -- helps the ones who truly belong to Christ not in a hypocritical nor deceitful "believer" facade (as even the demons "believe" and shudder, according to the epistle of James) . . . but who have in fact completely submitted their entire being to the Lord in total free-willed 24/7 surrender (who intrinsically want to perfectly please God in everything despite outside satanic duress enticing and coercing them to not do so) . . . discriminatingly distinguish who is on the path to law-obedient holiness for and in Christ (contrasted with who is on the path to selfish and quasi-rebellious law-rejecting aberration and doubts-causing doctrines-of-demons meanderings actually against and outside of Christ Jesus, whether they have no publicly-uttered testimony to Jesus by naming Him, or simply now-and-then religiously mouth the word "Jesus" with devious demonic motives).

Genuine mature Christians are well aware that it is not necessarily difficult (and certainly not humanly impossible) to not merely suspect the possibility of pornographic land mines tucked away and hidden within what seems to be a forum for inclusive Christian essays and similar website-related presentations (as in the case of Pinterest), but to dangerously and devastatingly discover such diabolical and defiling poison within them. Who ever would think that totally-naked-women and completely-nude-men XXX-rated pix of erotic mixed-gender sex wrestling could be brought up by typing a few keywords into a Pinterest searchbox?

Authentic mature Christians also can and do immediately recognize the irrational pseudo-"rationality" of heretical hosted web-essays and whatever, which cause doubts against traditional and orthodox Christian doctrines and faith, profusely be rife and reeking within the bowels of Patheos and apostasy-oriented articles therein.

A few applicable warning verses from Holy Writ immediately come to mind.

Concerning the hidden but easily-accessible licentious contents of Pinterest:

Second Peter 1:3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us to his own glory and excellence,
4 by which He has granted to us His precious and very great promises, that through these you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of passion, and become partakers of the divine nature.
10 Therefore, brethren, be the more zealous to confirm your call and election, for if you do this you will never fall;
11 so there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Second Peter 2:1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
2 And many will follow their licentiousness, and because of them the way of truth will be reviled [ especially by the watch-and-report secular media ready and quite willing to pounce ].
3 And in their greed they will exploit you with false words; from of old their condemnation has not been idle, and their destruction has not been asleep.
7 and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the licentiousness of the wicked
8 (for by what that righteous man saw and heard as he lived among them, he was vexed in his righteous soul day after day with their lawless deeds),
9 then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment
10 and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority. Bold and willful, they are not afraid to revile the glorious ones,
12 But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and killed, reviling in matters of which they are ignorant, will be destroyed in the same destruction with them,
13 suffering wrong for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their dissipation, carousing with you.
14 They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children!
15 Rejecting the right way they have gone astray; they have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved gain from wrongdoing,
17 These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm; for them the nether gloom of darkness has been reserved.
18 For, uttering loud boasts of folly, they entice with licentious passions of the flesh men who have barely escaped from those who live in error.
19 They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption; for whatever overcomes a man, to that he is enslaved.
20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overpowered, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
21 For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.
22 It has happened to them according to the true proverb, The dog turns back to his own vomit, and the pig is washed only to wallow in the mire.

Jude 1:3 Beloved, being very eager to write to you of our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.
4 For admission has been secretly gained by some who long ago were designated for this condemnation, godless persons who pervert the grace of our God into [immodest/pornographic] licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
5 Now I desire to remind you, though you were once for all fully informed, that he who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
6 And the angels that did not keep their own position but left their proper dwelling have been kept by him in eternal chains in the nether gloom until the judgment of The Great Day;
7 just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise acted immorally and indulged in non-natural lust, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
8 Yet in like manner these men in their dreamings defile the flesh, reject authority, and revile the glorious ones.
10 But these men revile whatever they do not understand, and by those things that they know by instinct as irrational animals do, they are destroyed.
11 Woe to them! For they walk in the way of Cain, and abandon themselves for the sake of gain to Balaam's error, and perish in Korah's rebellion.
12 These are blemishes on your love feasts, as they boldly carouse together, looking after themselves; waterless clouds, carried along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted;
13 wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars for whom the nether gloom of darkness has been reserved forever.
14 It was of these also that Enoch in the seventh generation from Adam prophesied, saying, "Hey, the Lord came with His holy myriads,
15 to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the godless of all their deeds of godlessness which they have committed in such an godless way, and of all the harsh things which godless sinners have spoken against Him."
16 These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own passions, loud-mouthed boasters, flattering people to gain advantage.
17 But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 they said to you, "In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own godless passions."
19 It is these who set up divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit.

And concerning Patheos?

Job 13:7 Will you speak falsely for God, and speak deceitfully for Him?

Proverbs 29:25 The fear of man lays a snare, but he who trusts in the LORD is safe.

Proverbs 30:6 Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.

Jeremiah 1:17 But you, dress up your loins; get up, and say to them everything that I command you. Do not be dismayed by them, lest I dismay you before them.

Matthew 28:20 . . . teaching them to observe ALL that I have commanded you; and wow, I am with you always, to the close of the age.

Luke 6:46 "Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and not do what I tell you?"

Romans 1:21 . . . for although they knew God they did not honor Him as God or give thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and their senseless minds were darkened.
Romans 1:22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
Romans 1:23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man or birds or animals or reptiles.

First Corinthians 3:20 . . . and again, 'The Lord knows that the thoughts of the "wise" are futile.'

Rejecting the Bible's creationist historical documentation, evolutionist pseudo-"scientist" Nye is akin to a pathetic fool who has been given the exact and precise alpha-numeric BIOS passcode to launch into a computer, but refuses to admit that it is the only passcode that might work, even refusing to believe it being the only passcode that will work, and instead has been and is incessantly and hopelessly searching for a million other alpha-numeric combinations to access the computer, and thus becoming more and more adversively disassociated against reality.

Has Nye (who is no expert in transliteration of Hebrew and Greek texts into English, but who does admit to differences between what should be regarded literally and verbatim in contrast to what are obviously poetic allegories expressing real truths) never considered the impossibility of some "Big Bang" (yes, I know it sounds laughably childish!) mass supposedly creating itself (like a spark plug creating itself by itself from underground ores) . . . the impossibility of speeding-out particles from the supposedly-exploding Big-Bang hot mass having their rapidly-expanding inertia strangely overcome by the extremely weak gravitation attraction of each particle speeding outward to result in non-random condensation of myriad types of minutely-detailed-and-structured orderly matter magically forming (beginning with each unique nucleonic structure of each element of The Periodic Table) . . . the possibility of our Superior-Being-created environmentally-privileged planet (phenomenally accommodating in every aspect to all Earth's lifeforms) coming into all-parts-functioning-all-at-once existence right from the start . . . the possibility of not-known starting amounts of radioactive isotopes along with not-known additional identical radioactive isotopes in what appears to be various stages of development and change created right from the start . . . the possibility of enroute starlight from mega-light-years-distant stars and whatever being created right from the start (on Day 4 of Creation Week) along with what appears to be the source stars of such celestial objects . . . the strange and unusual topsy-turvy strata and tectonic and sedimentary formations and layers and fossils in such caused by a relatively sudden and short-term catastrophic global Flood . . . supposedly multi-millennia-aged trees and crystals and fossils growing or being compressed in a relatively short time . . . the inspired ship-building intelligence and knowledge of God-commissioned Noah and family . . . the Providential protection of the ship from the start of the Worldwide Flood to the finish . . . the small number of small-and-not-necessarily-adult kinds taken into The Ark from which came rapidly-reproducing myriad species thereafter . . . the predicted prophecies of Scripture which were and are being and will be fulfilled . . . the need for inventive students of investigative presently-observational AND historical-record science to trust the consistent natural laws incepted by The Creator?

Second Corinthians 4:2 We have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways; we refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

Second Corinthians 11:3 But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

Ephesians 4:14 . . . so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful wiles.

First Thessalonians 2:13 And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.

First Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,
First Timothy 4:2 through the pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared . . .

Second Timothy 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

Titus 3:9 But avoid stupid controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels over the law, for they are unprofitable and futile.

Second Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. [Ken Ham is not the founder of his Bible, not even those scientists who have been influenced by him to various extents]
Second Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

Second Peter 3:15 And count the forbearance of our Lord as salvation. So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him,
Second Peter 3:16 speaking of this as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures.

And, for The Divine Copyright:

Revelation 22:18 I warn every one who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if any one adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book,
Revelation 22:19 and if any one takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

Incidentally . . .

The satanspeak/weaselword term: "context" is never mentioned ONCE in the entirety of the Revised Standard Version translation of the Holy Bible!

BONUS:

The space probes from NASA and others to Venus, the Moon, Mars, etc. give us reliable and truthful celestial-mechanics perspective on whether the Sun revolves around our one-of-a-kind privileged-and-unique-planet Earth rotating on its axis, or instead the Earth (rotating on its axis) revolves around the Sun.

From the perspective of human and instrumentational observers inside NASA space stations orbiting the Earth, it is clear why the metaphorical expressions: "The Sun rises" and "the Sun sets" are indeed merely metaphorical and NOT literal - similar pertaining to the expression: "Step on the gas" for the action of pushing the acceleration pedal of a car to make it go faster.

Whether or not the Sun or the Earth in our Solar System is "at the center" irrespective of gamma-ray-dispersion and red-shift measurements of the APPARENTLY-expanding Universe is not a subject for discussion here and now, but geocentricity erroneously SEEMS to be implied by the following Scriptural passages:

Genesis 37:9 Then [Joseph] dreamed another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, “Hey, I have dreamed another dream; and hey, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”

Revelation 12:1 And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.

Perhaps the previous verse could be mis-inferred as indication of a Feminist-Centered Universe, with Mother Mary being The Head Honcho? Blessed is he who does NOT worship "The Breasts" which He sucked, but rather he who instead did and does the will of The Father who is in Heaven.

It is in everyone's best interest to not puff purgatorial, maryolatrous, pseudo-infallible-papish, and apocryphal cultic catholics more than they should be puffed.

Actually, the accurate picture of Christ and His Bride (the Church of Saints) is realistically portrayed by the dazzling-brilliant Sun (the Lord Jesus) at the center of a Solar System of Earth and the other planets (Christian saints) revolving around Him.
