Joseph Smith pic unrelated Culling 10/12/26 (Mon) 10:55:04 f1c7fe No.858117 [Open Thread]

Usually people go “hehehe fricken stupid mormons” and I agree. Mainstream LDS is retarded and likely in apostasy. But Smith’s own claims are, in my opinion, a lot harder to discard. For example:

Claims that he divinely saw and translated the book of mormon from the golden plates (3 signed witnesses saying that they say the angel Smith saw, eight saying they saw and handled the plates); the main translation period of the roughly 270,000 words was done over 50 days, which necessitates 3-4,000 words a day. Smith dictated this, with no revisions, small breaks, and always resuming his dictation straight after these breaks. There is no evidence that he was considered by anyone to be a prodigy or exceptional prior to the alleged revelation, and he had no formal schooling.

Three options I see, for this claim specifically, is this:

1. Smith was divinely/demonically inspired

2. Smith was, suddenly, a biblical, literary, and oratory genius

3. Ignore all witness accounts and say he was lying and a conman

I think (2) and (3) can be dismissed immediately. (2) because that seems incredibly unlikely and also I'm not aware of anything that could cause this. (3) because you'd then have to apply this same treatment to other historical figures, which I think is probably absurd.

This leaves (1). I think its unlikely that Joseph Smith was divinely inspired because of Matthew 7:15-20. "Beware of false prophets… by their fruits you will know them". I don't think Joseph Smith was evil, and I don't think most Mormons are evil. I think there's probably a great deal of good that Mormons do. But I feel that Mormon theology (like about God once being a man who ascended to Godhood, and that we can do this too?? - I'm not an expert in Mormonism I might be wrong about this) feels like a deliberate attempt to lead people astray.

"Being like God" is what the serpent tempted Eve with in the garden, so it seems suspicious to me that Mormonism would claim that we can become like God

This is what passes for theology for evangelical women † 10/11/26 (Sun) 02:05:21 66cc14 No.858115 [Open Thread]

“ Minutes later, freshly dressed and perfumed, Sandi joined her husband in their oversize dining room, designed with entertaining in mind. They sat at one end of the long table, a spray of red gladioli creating a more intimate space. Pavla served the meal as usual, placing each course before them with quiet assurance.

Sandi watched her closely, noticing as if for the first time how mature Pavla had become. A healthy, twenty-something woman. Full of energy, brimming with life. The perfect age for conceiving a child, for giving birth…

Sandi's eyes widened. Theres no heartache Pavla can't mend.

Alan's words, but with a very different meaning.

Paula. Bearing my husband's child. For me.

Sandi blanched at the outrageous notion. Had anyone shed ever known done such a thing? Yet if the law allowed surrogate motherhood and if both parties were willing, might it not be the very best solution?

Distracted by her thoughts, she let Alan carry their dinner conversation

until Pavla arrived with dessert…”

also you should understand, vestments as we have them now are somewhat different than they used to be. during ottoman rule, they mandated that christian monks and clergy be required to wear normal ottoman-era clothing rather than vest as they had done prior. So some of the headwear like kalimavkia and exorassa and stuff, they stuck from that time. The ottomans forbade christians from wearing certain colors, and we were usually required to wear blue or black.

To that extent, the way Christian clergy dress now is an aftereffect of forced humility/humiliation under the ottomans, because they wanted glorious garments to be reserved for islamic clergy only, so Christians could never be visually mistaken for muslims.

Interesting thing to note is that in slavic cultures the coulour black was seen as a happy colour, while white was associated with death and afterlife. White was usualy worn at funerals, the shift happened somewhere around the world wars do to massive death count.

While yes, black was also seen as negative especialy when describing the enemies of a lot of epic heroes, it was allso seen as colour of optimism and happines.

So clergy wearing black wasnt seen as a negative or evil, it was seen in positive light.

But the Bible says the Apocalypse won't happen until a sufficient number of good people is killed and the planetary economy is fully controlled. How can you achieve this without Israel?

Israel literally means "to fight god," a name given to a chosen warrior and deceiver by a nameless shadowy figure at night… And Jesus said they are the children of Satan… And Satan himself is pretty much synonymous with Israel…

The final war can't happen without the opposition, you know?

What do you think the apocalypse even is to begin with? It's not the end of the world, and it's not really about future events. It's mostly a description of what happens every Sunday morning.

So do you think a certain amount of people have to be killed every week or else Sunday morning won't come?

Pentecostals are going to Hell † 05/10/26 (Sun) 17:58:32 6c18a2 No.858038 [Open Thread]

Don't give me that "they believe in Jesus too" horses—. Pentecostal Holiness and Wesleyan traditions teach that you can lose your salvation and that salvation itself is a no sinning contest. Apparently, they haven't read Romans 10:4. These "apostolic" traditions (as if they have authority to add to scripture) believe in gifts and tongues also. These ended with the apostles. Tongues are a placebo effect. You just speak nonsense and think you're saved. What did Jesus say about these people? Read Matthew 7:21-23 and John 6:40. Anybody from these charismatic traditions who trust in their works, Christ will tell them he NEVER knew them! Not "I used to know you" it's I NEVER knew you! Salvation is to believe that Christ died for your sins. The pentecost is over.

Indeed, what matters in the end is how you loved people and God, and your love for God will be measured through how you treated your fellow humans.

All miracles… Are just a byproduct of a sufficiently strong faith. For is it not written in your law, "I have said you are gods"? As those with wisdom can see clearly whenever they analize the mechanics of thier own existence. And what a god believes, regardless of true or false, will happen (as long as this "god" knows to not contradict himself).

But I wouldn't call speaking a language you've never had a chance to learn a placebo… Even if it does utilize the same principle.

the scriptures /do/ give authority to /somebody,/ and the scriptures never say that apostolic authority ends with the apostles. you can't simultaneously believe sola scriptura AND this goofy ended-with-the-apostles bs.

but eh you're right, speaking in tongues ain't what it's cracked up to be, and charles parham was a lunatic. pentecostals get some things right, which evangelicals get wrong, but they're still lost in the dark, derascinated and without any bearings, which is a really rough place to be

Why homosexuality is not a sin? † 09/08/26 (Tue) 21:22:15 d7f7dd No.858102 [Open Thread]

I present to you an article (a 60-minute read) that clearly and thoughtfully argues against branding homosexuals as sinners and homosexuality as a sin. The article explains why homosexuality has never been, and is not, a sin. One of the main reasons for this misunderstanding is a superficial reading of the issue.

Step by step, the article explains why the book of Leviticus cannot be considered a source of truth (TL;DR: God Himself said through the prophet Jeremiah that He did not command what is written in Leviticus; certain precepts of this book directly contradict Christianity and Christ, such as the command regarding blasphemy). Consequently, relying on this book to interpret the Divine will is a mistake. Thus, Paul’s assumptions that gay men will not enter the Kingdom are erroneous, as they are based on Leviticus or are merely his personal convictions. One should not view Paul's letters as divinely inspired from the first to the very last letter, since he himself states (1 Cor. 7:10) that his teaching is his own, not the Lord's, and some of his precepts are not mandatory rules, but merely advice (1 Cor. 7:6). Ultimately, Christianity is the religion of Christ, not of the apostles; Christians follow Christ, not the apostles.

I invite you to explore the topic: https://oihiv-pouli.medium.com/homosexuality-is-not-a-sin-and-does-not-contradict-christianity-650fa2330ca0

The article is paywall-free; the author receives no financial benefit from your visits, comments, or views. If you have a gay friend or acquaintance, please share this article with them.

I heard that there's an Estonian Society in the USA and it is much much religious than the modern Estonia.

It is bad that our country is not that religious, as it could be.

All because of the satanic jewish idea of communism, that is now treated by the youth as something great.
