Two things stand out to me reading this post:

  1. Your theology is extremely underdeveloped.
  2. Your worldview is incoherent.

    First, you have no coherent soteriology (the "mechanism" by which Christ saves sinners). Check out The Sovereign Grace of God by Dr. James White. It is a straightforward read that sets a solid foundation for understanding this important aspect of Christian doctrine. Theological study can often be esoteric masturbation. I promise you this is not the case: you will never feel at peace with God unless you understand what it means to be redeemed. You have no peace and desperately need it.

    Second, your worldview is a mess and that is reflected by your priorities. By worldview I mean: the network of beliefs in various areas (religion, politics, philosophy, history, etc). that together form the framework of your outlook and approach to the world around you. Odd as this may seem, your bizarre perversions just aren't that important in light of the fact that the civilized western world as we know it is falling apart and your fixation on yourself is just a demonstration of either ignorance or lack of concern. You are a casualty of globalhomo clown world, but you don't have to be.

What I believe about salvation is that it's conditional. I don't know everything and doubt myself, but free will exist in humans most of all for this reason. If salvation was unconditional then God has no standards for future behavior at all or free will in humans doesn't actually exist.

The following verse doesn't make much sense if salvation wasn't something a person could risk losing:

Hebrews 3:12-14 "Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;"

I have no coherent model of salvation that explains how it works in every possible situation because none seems to exist. It's why there is such a huge debate on the subject in the first place. I've read a whole lot of websites and books on how different people believe salvation works. None of them were able to explain everything in a way that was perfectly coherent in logic under every situation. At least not to me, but the simple idea of abiding in Christ until the end is the most consistent with a Bible filled with warnings of not falling away, repenting of sin and enduring to the end instead of warning's all over the bible to make people sure they were saved in the first place.

I don't really understand this as I thought red pill was about fixing yourself and not women or the world. But I am not ignorant it's just there's no way to counter what the international elite world order is doing to western civilization. They own the corporate press and are making fast progress toward controlling the internet with AI powered by quantum computers. Morals are falling apart because no fault divorce blew up around half of family's and rewarded one gender for gaming the system to such an extreme that the other finds porn, one night stands and prostitution more appealing than marriage to a self righteous harpy that says things like "men are trash" everyday.
