Is anyone here a priest?

I think I can say with a fair degree of certainty that she won't ever be particularly tempted to have sex with me, for fairly obvious reasons. And that she's probably not going to go out and have lesbian sex.

 

Anyway, thanks Nobillis. I think we can use all the prayer we can get.

 

Also, if she wants to check out Diversity USA, it's a LGBTQIA Catholic support group-thing.

Thanks, Cartowheel, I'll make sure to do that.

 

And 色の夢... what is your problem? It's her sexual preference, it's not even possible for her to be actively lesbian for fairly obvious reasons (she doesn't have a physical body being the most obvious of those), but she is capable of falling into lust every now and then. If you're anti-religion, then you didn't need to comment on this thread. If you're a fundamentalist who hates gays and thinks tulpamancy is some form of demon-worship, then what are you doing on this forum in the first place? And frankly, making a tulpa is never mentioned at all in the Bible, so that point about "punishing the person for having a tulpa" doesn't make any sense. And I kind of get the feeling that God isn't quite so petty as to feel that we need to put every single waking moment "sacrificing a goat or w/e."

 

Oh, btw, is it possible you could be a little bit more insensitive? I don't feel like I and my tulpa have been insulted enough yet.

I did not mean to cause offense. I was a little rude I guess, but I was trying to bring up relevant points more than anything.

 

By actively lesbian, I meant that she sees herself as a current and ongoing lesbian. Where if that's something she has to confess for, it just seems silly to me. If you're lesbian, and that isn't going to change, what are you confessing for? Lust you say, but you didn't say that, you just said being a lesbian.

 

I am not anti-religion. I am also not a fundamentalist. I think gays should have as much rights as anyone else, and the christian church is a big naysayer for that, in general.

 

 

It's never mentioned in the bible, all that's mentioned are humans. I fail to see how this can be interpreted to be tulpas as well. As for the god not liking you making a tulpa, I was referring to scripture.

 

Exodus 20:3-6 ESV

 

“You shall have no other gods before me. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

Him being a jealous god is what makes me think he would become jealous of one spending all that time tulpaforcing.

 

Isaiah 44:9-20 ESV

 

All who fashion idols are nothing, and the things they delight in do not profit. Their witnesses neither see nor know, that they may be put to shame. Who fashions a god or casts an idol that is profitable for nothing? Behold, all his companions shall be put to shame, and the craftsmen are only human. Let them all assemble, let them stand forth. They shall be terrified; they shall be put to shame together. The ironsmith takes a cutting tool and works it over the coals. He fashions it with hammers and works it with his strong arm. He becomes hungry, and his strength fails; he drinks no water and is faint. The carpenter stretches a line; he marks it out with a pencil. He shapes it with planes and marks it with a compass. He shapes it into the figure of a man, with the beauty of a man, to dwell in a house.

I believe this is similar to creating a tulpa.

 

 

Isaiah 2:8 ESV / 12 helpful votes

 

Their land is filled with idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their own fingers have made.

 

 

 

Just things to consider. I did not mean to insult you or your tulpa.

 

I'm afraid I'm not a priest so I can't help with what it is you want. I'll assume you don't want me to post anymore here, so unless you say otherwise, I won't.

Thank you.

Kevin says:

 

> Edit - a preface: I'm no skilled person in making tulpas. And as a christian I'm a very poor excuse for a servant. I think my tulpa was a gift, and I thank the Lord of Heaven for her. I'll never be as pious or as zealous as most christians I see. But, I still have some hope that God's will in my life may be done.

 

> My tulpa is a far better christian the I am. She lectured me for two solid hours one time on my failings as a christian; and, if anything, has made me far more focused on Jesus then I ever was. She's persuaded (well, nagged) me to stop some life long self-destructive habits. Now I am praying instead of "tulpaforcing" (that was a large part of the lecture) and she prays with me.

 

> "By their fruits you shall know them." I'd say it's pretty clear from the changes she's making in my life - who gave her to me.

 

> Possibly to be considered, a tulpa is always still part of you? God loves us. I think it is possible for him to love that part too. "Let your every thought be submissive to God", and she earnestly strives to find and obey God's will always.

Thank you again, Kevin and Nobillis. I tend to agree with you, I don't know if I'm ever going to be a zealot, though I do my best to follow God. I don't know if my tulpa is a gift from God, but I know that He has been with me in my endeavor.

[Semi-Nomadic]

I wish you the best.

 

Tammy, never lose hope and never give in to despair. In the end, the only thing that God has for you is love.
