This is not the cancer I usually am suggested to listen to on other sites. This is actually pretty nice.

All I will say about it is that it just goes do-do Do-Do DO-DO and that's pretty much it with little techno verbs thrown in. Not bad, but:

>“The dogma that all the governments of the world are approvingly ordained of God, and that the powers that be in the United States, in Russia, in Turkey, are in accordance with his will, is no less absurd than impious. It makes the impartial Author of our existence unequal and tyrannical. It cannot be affirmed that the powers that be in any nation are actuated by the spirit or guided by the example of Christ in the treatment of enemies; therefore they cannot be agreeable to the will of God, and therefore their overthrow by a spiritual regeneration of their subjects is inevitable.

Being civil is basically the requirement of God's people. But there is also a time for civil disobedience as well. Such as St. Peter and the Apostles telling the High Priest that they will refuse to stop talking about Jesus. They were still civil and a harm to no one.

In rare cases, there is perhaps a time for active disobedience as well, such as Elijah's case, as I mentioned above. He didn't just merely disobey Jezebel. He came back with a vengeance and beheaded all the priests of Baal. He never got close to Jezebel though. He passed his mantle to Elisha. Elisha later anointed a new king, Jehu, who restored a true order worth obeying. And as Jehu finally broke through the royal army and came into her palace, Jezebel got dolled up and tried to look seductive as Jehu approached. It had no effect on him, and zero concern that she was still the "Queen" in some respect. He commanded her own servants to toss her out the window. To her surprise, they obeyed. There her corpse was left to be eaten by dogs, as Elijah prophesied would happen to her long before.

May that be the end of all "State" officials who go against the Lord and his prophets.

Simply because a geopolitical entity is not Christian doesn't necessarily mean that it is not ordained by God. For example, when the Israelites were conquered by the Babylonians, God clearly intended for the Babylonians to rule the Israelites as punishment for their faithlessness. The Babylonian kings were ordained by God despite the fact that they worshipped false gods.

I believe that the current regime in the USA is a punishment sent on the Christians living here for tolerating Godlessness in our country. However that doesn't mean we can never resist authority, in fact there could come a time when our faith requires us to resist the authorities. I believe that if Christians were to attempt a revolution to create a wholly Christian nation, God would grant us the strength needed to succeed because the new authority we would replace it with would also be ordained by God.

TL;DR governments are ordained by God, but uprisings can also be ordained by God.

>I believe that the current regime in the USA is a punishment sent on the Christians living here for tolerating Godlessness in our country.

I think more specifically, it's for giving heed to and for transacting with Judaism. Any deal with them is a corrupt deal, a wicked transaction. A lot of corrupt theology has seeped into churches in the form of hyper-dispensational or zionist thought, which has led directly to the loss of the power of God in many churches; pretty soon because of this, more people stop reading the Bible or taking it seriously, and then there is a lack of understanding of even the most basic truths. This very drastic trend that we see today seems to align with the description of a great falling away, although if it is THE great falling away we shall see in due time.

As it says in Hebrews, "For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry."

To be perfectly fair, the U.S. was built on a solidly Biblical basis. Over a hundred years before the Constitution was ever written, you have the documents of some of the colonial founders who came here with a will to escape the corrupt state church system (which serious study of history shows was heavily judaized by that time—a process that has eventually spread to the US in the 20th century, with Hollywood, which is run by "them", its influences, and so on). The colonial founders were well aware of this, and founded this country on an unprecedented Biblical basis. As Lincoln, the 16th President once said, this is a nation "conceived in liberty." It is founded on the proposition that all men are created equal, rather than some kind of big brother bureaucracy that supports "them" and forces people to be "equal" (i.e. "equity") rather than truly placing them on a level playing field.

Yes, the colonial founders knew what was up with that corrupt system. One of the charters was originally proposed to with the following statement, (which is still inscribed on the state house of Providence in Rhode Island even today,) and reads like this:

Isn't it Christian to respect the freewill of non-believers? God doesn't force his creation to love him.

Part of this is misconception of the past, see Ecclesiastes 7:10

>10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this.

Another part is the fact that the latter days actually are upon us. However, it's not like there has ever been a "golden age" since the time of the fall in Genesis chapter 3. We just choose to focus on what seemed to be better about those times while missing the larger picture, that there is no new thing under the sun. Not until the Savior's return, to right everything that is wrong, will this be resolved. Armed with knowledge of the coming glory of God, we are to be a light in the world (Matthew 5:16) rather than being cynical, as it says in 2 Peter,

>3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

>4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

>5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

>6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

>7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

>8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

>9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

>10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

I could be mistaken, but in those days people were distraught after ww1 as they saw mass casualties, the worst of what mankind had to offer, and many had ptsd after the war with little support. Many saw this suffering and turned to nihilism and that type of thinking, which pushed them farther from God. Combine this with prohibition and the ensuing culture that came with it in the 20’s, as well as the rise of gangsters and the mafia, and America started to seem overtly hedonistic and ungodly. Unfortunately in the past 15 years or so the west seems to be once again approaching that kind of degeneracy, just with a new type of polish on it, if you will.

I'm not even a Catholic, but I would tell you that I know firsthand that some Mexican communities have twisted the Church's symbols to their own end. Some of may look Catholic on a superficial level, but some are practicing Santeria. Not Christianity. Same goes with some Black churches in the American South, who kept hidden Hoodoo beliefs they carried over from Africa even later on in church circles (Hoodoo.. not Voodoo. People sometimes get these confused). You could say this for many other cultures too. Some Western Europeans kept cultic ideas from Nordic or Celt culture too.

This is why I've never been impressed by "Christendom" or care a thing about it's downfall. There are great things, no doubt, but some of it was not true mission work.. but conducted by force and coercion or merely the conversion of a King, who then required all of his subjects to follow him. All this accomplished was a paganism that hid in the underground, sometimes using Christian symbols to avoid authorities. Conversion wasn't always a sincere, widespread conversion such as you saw in Greece and Mesopotamia. Those Greek churches planted by the Apostles didn't like the old ways - and distanced themselves from old Greek ways of thinking. Gnostics, for example, were an old trapping from Pythagorean and Mithraic mystery cults. But the early Church combatted them. They didn't support them. The early church also pronounced anathemas on Platonism in the seventh council. This is Christianity done from the heart, and it didn't happen everywhere.

Hey, new to this board but have been Christian all my life. I was wondering if any of you have cool Christian artifacts or other interesting things you look at that validates the faith?

I bought a set of 5 Widow's Mites (pic related) on eBay for like $11 about a year ago. Sweet, right? They were nice to have, I put 4 in a small safe and kept one in my wallet. One day when I was at work I lost my wallet, and went home thinking it was gone forever. I was bummed out, because it was one of my favorite things I owned. I also had about 60 bucks in the wallet. As my dad and I were looking through the washing machine trying to find it (just incase I accidentally forgot it at home somewhere all along), my aunt knocks on the door. It turns out she found the wallet in the parking lot I must have dropped it in. The money was all gone, but the Widow's Mite was still there, though the plastic case had shattered (and before anyone accuses her of stealing the money, she actually gave me $60 of her own because she felt bad). Right after that happens, my dad gets a call from the hospital that my mom's insanely rare type of cancer entered remission. That was probably the happiest night of my life, and I still have the shattered case Widow's Mite.

Fleshlyness is a sin but in marriage as long as the man and the woman love each other then it’s a sin of worldliness that God allows as long as there is no death or uncleanliness. A fetish is basically asking for only a specific type of sexual encounter and worshiping it. So the thing about this is it is a bit weird and I doubt a girl would want to do that with you, “like yeah, I’ll stay fat with you.” That’s kind of gross, and stupid. Conclusion: the sin here is that it is a sin of uncleanliness of the woman[s body, and it would be a sin to openly admit this to everyone in church. “Hey everybody I have a fat wife because I have a fat sex fetish.” Although it isn’t a sin to have sex with your wife, it is a sin to spill out your sex life to everyone else. The devil likes to play with the edges of the boundaries of people’s tolerances, with jokes.

I think (and I'm not an expert or anything) that sexual fetishes can be harmful but not all of them are. Liking girls with small jelly bellies is probably not too harmful but having a sexual fetish for feeding your wife all manner of unhealthy food until she weights 500 pounds is literally deriving sexual pleasure from destroying her health and therefore very harmful.

In my personal estimation if

1. it is not destructive to anybody's health

2. it is between one (1) man and one (1) woman within wedlock and with consent on both sides

3. it is for the purpose of concaving a child

Then it's okay.

For example: Wanting to be on top is fine. Wanting to literally beat up and rape your wife is bad, even if she would enjoy it too.

That particular fetish doesn't seem sinful unless it requires encouraging your wife to be a glutton or otherwise be unhealthy. Being moderately overweight is not actually that unhealthy. Being outright obese is something different.

He's right, you know. This includes almost all related scholarly degrees in the realm of religion. The only thing that isn't useless is if you're getting some degree to actually serve the Church. To actually "minister" (the real definition of that word): to be of service somehow. Something Dawkins will never understand. But otherwise, I agree with him. And it goes for both skeptical (higher-critical) scholars or faithful ones who are just eggheads who don't know how to serve or speak to anyone. It's all useless.

Maybe the skeptics are the most useless though. I can't fathom how they churn out giant tomes, write a thousand research papers, and rise up the ranks of the "guild" all based on a subject that they themselves don't care about, let alone want to serve anyone with. What's even going on in their heads? They're neither respected by the Church or even other scholars in scientific fields like Dawkins. Just completely useless.

>That said, Enoch was found. Multiple copies have been found at Qumran at caves 4, 7, and 11.

If you trust that. I personally happen to place more trust in God than anything, and for me, my faith is not based on what somebody claims to have found in modern Israel. And I know many others who are the same on this.

>This predates Christianity.

Does it predate Genesis 3:15? Seems unlikely.

>More interestingly, it was found in Aramaic fragments,

So were they copies or fragments, anon? You said multiple copies at first, but many of these findings actually seem to be just fragments of something that may have later influenced what we have today. I'm not saying not to be interested in scientific inquiry, but I also do not need to base my faith on the idea that God somehow allowed his word to be lost until 1947 or whenever they found this stuff.

There also happens to be an excellent scroll of the book of Isaiah that is very close to the source text we use in our received Bible translations today (specifically, the "Bomberg 1525 text" of the Hebrew and Old Syriac Old Testament, as typeset by Daniel Bomberg at Venice). So while these are interesting, they do not bear any weight on the truth, God's word, which the church believes continually. These findings do not make me any more certain than I already was that what God said is true or about the content of what God said.

>And it was old enough to have already been preserved among the Qumran community multiple times.

What's interesting about Qumran to me is the evidence among the manuscripts there, that whoever was behind the creation of these works, or at least some of them, seems to have been actively contributing to the authorship of an altered text of some parts of the Old Testament. We see this by comparison of some of the different partially-written manuscripts found there that clearly deviate from the originals that we know about, (which they also seem to have had).

If you're just going to treat the Dead Sea Scrolls as a conspiracy, then why even talk to me.. or anyone… about this at all? You acted fairly normal in your first post, but now you're starting off with an extreme stance about the field of archaeology that just kills conversation. Why…? I was hoping I had a brother to talk to, and even disagree with at times (I really don't mind that. I like a healthy debate), but this level of paranoia doesn't go anywhere. We can't even have a decent conversation at step 1. It's simply dead on arrival. And to top it off, you don't even state a clear case why others also should distrust things to the extent that you do. You just want others to embrace this kind of claim arbitrarily. You state that God is the reason that you have this view by saying that you only trust God. But God never told you or me one way or another about the Dead Sea Scrolls. I wish he did, but to say you have special revelation here isn't very convincing.

There are fragments, and one cave had a more complete scroll. I already had to slim my post because of word count. I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible. I apologize for not being more clear.

Anyways, I guess we're done. Good day.

>apocrypha

I consider the KJV Bible with the Deuterocanonical books to be the ideal bible. These books were read by the Church Fathers, included in even protestant bibles until the 19th century, and even today the Book of Common Prayer in the Anglican Communion has readings from these books.

Ordinariate Catholics recently put out an edition of the KJV with the Protocannon and Deuterocanon in Catholic Order.

>Enoch, Jubelees, ect.

Good to study to get a grasp on what the early church believed and the theology many converts from judaism took with them, but aren't good sources for doctrine (for instance, does Enoch becoming Metatron in 3 Enoch mean that we should believe our spirits will become angels when we die/are translated). It's also noteworthy, and indeed is a point that could be used against the Deuterocanon, that before Luther, Trent and Jerusalem, the books found in bibles could very wildly, especially in the East where the psalms you mentioned and even the Psalms of Solomon could be found appended. The Ethiopian Miaphysite's canon of 100+ books in some instances are a modern day hold over from that.

Very good question. I am only interested in whether or not something is true, not about "conspiracy" or whatever. I have no idea what that's referring to. What I am and what we should actually be interested in is whether or not something is true.

I don't want to go off on a tangent here any more than is necessary to develop the conversation, but people who claim a lot of false things these days seem to think that, just by calling their opponents "conspiracy," it serves as an effective way to voice disagreement, while avoiding any obligation at all of having to prove a claim. It is a way for people to object to something they are confronted with, but are not able to actually say is wrong. So let's not talk about "conspiracy" anymore. That's just not constructive. Let us simply talk about whether the things that were said are accurate or not.

I think everything I said was accurate.

I'd like to see if you had anything of substance to respond with, but maybe you do not. That is perfectly okay with me. I think the above point in my other post makes sense in context to the average reader.

>We can't even have a decent conversation at step 1. It's simply dead on arrival.

If you say so. I raised some pretty salient points about the Qumran discoveries.

>And to top it off, you don't even state a clear case why others also should distrust things to the extent that you do.

Again, if you say it's unclear maybe I did a bad job of contextualizing what I said to you specifically. If so, my bad. Most of my post is above in case anyone wants to read it and see what I had to say about the content of the discoveries.

>I wish he did, but to say you have special revelation here isn't very convincing.

This claim is ridiculous, and a part of the syncratic spirit of the age. Buddhism is a religion, and with the exception of larping Californian buddhists who pretend it's a philosophy without dogma and a few deceitful recruiters, anyone will tell you this. Buddhism has dogma, theology, sects, and heresies, the foundation of Buddhist teaching of which being the four noble truths, which are incompatible with Christianity.

My patron saint was an evangelist in Japan, and an attempted on his life was made by a Buddhist samurai. St Nicholas asked the samurai if he knew what he was preaching, and the samurai did not, so Nicholas asked him to hear the Gospel, and if after doing so still wanted to kill Nicholas, he would not resist. The samurai became the first Japanese Orthodox priest, Fr Paul Sawabe. Pic related.

St Nicholas devoted his life to bringing to Gospel to the Japanese, who at the time persecuted Christians and forbade conversion. He studied Japanese language and native religion, shintoism and zen buddhism, and although he referred to the buddhist pagans as noble, he also explicitly said "Those who claim that Buddhism and Christianity are compatible understand neither"

It didn't stop theologians like Aquinas from incorporating pre-Christian philosophy into their understanding so other noble philosophies should also be given similar consideration to find what contributions they can make.

Christ made the ultimate sacrifice for us at Calvary, and if we are unwilling to acknowledge that, no amount of sacrifices is going to be enough to turn away His wrath from our rebellion away from the Savior. If we think that we can earn our way, any one of us, by performing enough works to merit salvation of our own accord, that in itself discounts what Jesus Christ our Lord did for us on the cross when He shed His blood, far worthier than any act we could ever make, so that we didn't have to be sent to hell.

This is not to say bad of our devotion to Him as God's children. Indeed Peter writes, "Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;"

But at the same time, we should keep in mind that we will never be able to do enough things, so we should "count the cost" like our Lord said in Luke 14:28, and realize we have a need if we wish to be spared from the wrath of God against our own sin. This is why after all of the very hard sayings Christ told us we would be required to do in the Gospels, He concluded this matter by adding the following line from Matthew 19:26, "When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible."

So it is as the apostle Paul said, we are saved by grace through faith, and not of ourselves. Being then a child of God, one who knows that their sins are forgiven, they are covered by the blood sacrifice that Christ made for them, the saved person is given the opportunity to serve the purposes given from their now-acknowledged personal Lord and Savior Jesus, starting right away in this life. They now have the working of God in their lives like the apostle wrote,

"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" (Philippians 1:6)

It is this confidence that can be ascribed to the concept that faith produces works in the life of the true believer. One who has already once and forever been positionally sanctified, (as according to the woPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

You read a lot of books and concluded Catholicism is heavily ascetic?

That doesnt intersect at all with reality.

Yet every Christian should be ascetic in wise parameters, if we dont curb our appetites we will grow in vice.

That said, there are countless verses about reward according to our deeds. Will a monk or hermit that fully denies himself and spends the day in prayer get a better prize than i that spend the day on the internet? he better.

Being a monk is not the way all humans are supposed to live though, we all have different vocations. God distributes grace as He sees fit, we have no right to question His calls. He prepares for His garden some grass here, a magestic flower there, simple flowers here, and it will form a perfect harmony. In other words, one gets 10 talents, another gets 1. Let-s not envy those who get 10 but admire the work of God in that person. They received the grace and they were willing to accept it.

But religions like Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism are ascetic in essence by having tried to standardize and universalize things more compared to Judaism and polytheism which seem more directly founded in individual tribalist traditions and having a greater focus on a variety of oblational offerings.

Plenty of early writers quoted 1 John 5:7 and it appeared in numerous Greek and other language manuscripts.

It is interesting that the very first thing you turn to in attempting to "prove" Arianism is this empty claim. Many supposedly orthodox Christians argue that its removal does nothing to change the doctrine of Christ or the Trinity. I am inclined to believe at least that much, as we see the Holy Trinity appear explicitly mentioned as a "mystery" in Colossians 2:2, as well as in many other places. However, I also strongly believe that Scriptural integrity being removed by the modernists in their falsely fabricated textual criticism, which, unlike that of the Textus Receptus scholars, is fraudulent and built on an actually very weak foundation, and unlike the scholars who worked with the TR the modern textual criticism insists that God failed to preserve His word accurately, is enough to shatter all belief in Christ and make one into an Arian or some other creature, despite their constant denials outwardly of this fact. Nay, they insist, their changes to Scripture alter no doctrine— but I believe that is because they are already relativists and they believe in no doctrine at all to begin with.

Oh, but back to Arianism… It's wrong and unbiblical. Glad we could have this discussion, anon.
