/christian/ - Christian Discussion and Fellowship

Baptists in my University town always seem to be the ones approaching students to study the most often. Good on you guys.

Methodists have a saying: "He who sings prays twice." I like that.

Baptists, your zeal is inspiring

>>573911

Actually, that's St. Augustine. Nice of them to bring it up though.

>Baptist

Wait, I am baptist!

>Presbies

Fellow Calvinists who are merely wrong about baptismal immersion

>Anglicans

They produced the likes of C.S. Lewis, a Christian T.S. Eliot, Christina Rossetti, and Peter Hitchens

>Methodists

Charles Wesley wrote some mighty fine hymns

>Eastern Orthodox

One of your own was a Calvinist. :^)

Joking aside, a lot of you seem to sincerely embrace sola fide.

>Roman Catholic

ST. CHESTERTON

>Catholics

Christmas is a nice holiday, and you gave us that, so thank you.

>Orthodox

You read the Bible even though you are apostolic. That is pretty cool and unique.

>Anglicans

Uh, CS Lewis was a good dude.

>Amish

You churn nice butter and make good hand-built furniture, and generally mind your own business.

>Mormons

Genuinely friendly people.

>>573918

>merely wrong about baptismal immersion

we also baptize babbies, anon

>>573905

>Catholics

I miss u guys and I want the schism to end, also I like scholasticism and Assisi

>Anglicans

Luther was funny

>Calvinists

Your doctrines fit my brain perfectly, but unfortunately Orthodoxy has my heart, and it is the heart that vivifies the whole body

>Anglicans

Uh, you're the historical Church of England I guess

>Methodists

You didn't really mean to have a schism with the Anglicans

>Oriental Orthodox

I MISS U GUYS AND I WANT THE SCHISM TO END

also you're so pious

>Baptists

You're pious and knowledgeable, unlike some of the falseflaggers on this board

>>573907

Denomination, not heresy.

>>573923

Most of us consider each other to be heretics already anyway.

>>573925

Good point

>>573925

I think there's theological difference vs blatant heresy and lies, which is always a scandal. Look up the "Book of Abraham" which was a generic Egyptian burial papyrus. Time has borne out the resurrection, it has not done so with Joe Smith. Now, this isn't to constrain the mercy of Christ - he will have mercy on who he will. But as Christians, we can't say Joe Smith was a prophet, and have to separate from Mormons, in the same way we would from the Nicolaitans. See 2 Peter 1:16-18 on Truth. Our denominational differences exist, but the Mormons and JWs and such are just another level.

>>573923

>>573925

>>573928

I think the difference is that Mormonism is not merely a different sort of Christian denomination, but can’t truly be considered Christian. They believe in the existence of multiple Gods: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are each individual Gods, every God was originally a human, and so good Mormons can also aspire to Godhood. Mormonism is about as Christian as Gnosticism is.

>>573935

Pretty much this is my position. I typically use the Nicene creed as my mark for Christianity. Either explicit adoption as a Creed (most denominations) or implicit agreement with it (such as Baptists).

Oh, and:

> Catholics

Scholastic analysis leads to compelling apologetics and you all do amazing mission work

> Orthodox

Probably best preservation of the faith and liturgy.

> Methodists

Basically wrote all the best hymns in English

> Baptist

Right about baptism by immersion being best, also know the Bible really well

> Lutheran

Really, really nice. Also only one who can compete with EO beard-wise

> Generic Evangelical

You all really love Christ. Also Francis Chan is pretty cool

These are all the ones I know pretty well

>>573905

>catholics

Deus Vult memes are pretty funny

>Bapist

>>573956

>Pabtist

>>573956

>>573957

Get that out of this thread. You have plenty of others to bait each other in.

>>573956

2. Interactions must be for the sake of Charity. Post made in the spirit of disruption or spite could earn you a short to permanent ban.

>>573957

>Tabpist

>Baptists

Full blown autism for soul winning

>Presbyterians

I like the nationalism, but not retarded racism/patriotism, promoted by it (afaik in my country)

>Anglicans

>Methodists

Nice people who are really friendly

>Easter orthodox

Cool af aesthetics

>Babtist

I admire Babtist for being the most extremely passionate about the faith

>Orthodox

We miss you ;(

I like Calvinism due to +10% land and naval morale bonus with war focus fervour. Made my Japan campaign against Ming much easier.

>>573999

Kek and checked, though it's a sin to be playing EUIV when EUII is better and has less DLC-usury involved.

>>574013

>>573999

Imagine playing video games when you could be doing something like exercise or reading or praying or something constructive in general

Catholic women do nice things to black men : D

>>574015

f a l s e f l a g

>>574014

Imagine being a no-fun-allowed autist.

>>573905

>Apostlics in general

You guys have wonderful history, and you make the most beautiful churches and cathedrals.

>>574022

>you cant have fun without acting like a child

>>573999

Kirishitan Japan best Japan

>>574076

>Games are for children only

>Yeah, screw those kings and nobles that played wargames all the time

I bet your knowledge about games is limited to mario cart

>>574081

>Baptist

I like your zeal and constancy, even if it's constancy in error.

>Presbyterians

I do not know you at all, sorry.

>Anglicans

I like your prayers and hymns.

>Methodist

See Presbyterians

>Eastern Orthodox

KYRIE ELEEEEEISON

But seriously, eastern liturgy, aesthetics and mysticism is great

>Catholics

I love every one of you, breathen, save one, that is is me.

>>574126

So is that stuff any good?

t. elitist euro

>>574180

It's alright, it's just usually the cheapest

>>574185

It would be a wondrous thing if there was such a thing as good beer at a cheap price. If that is average then that's nice, but the cheapest where I live just has to be the worst swill only good for tossing on the sauna rocks.

>Anglicans

As mentioned by others, I really like the well-done English translations. We should definitely have more Anglican Use liturgy in the Catholic church.

>Baptists

Seems like they are very passionate about faith, and I also read a set of "fundamental" beliefs on a Baptist church website once and agreed with most of them

>Eastern Orthodox

I highly respect them (obviously) and wish schism could end. I wish you guys would be stronger and more universal, instead of having ethnic communities, you open it wide for everyone. I would not mind at all if every Protestant in America converted to Eastern Orthodoxy.

> Evangelicals and Protestants in general

It's great that you actually read the Bible and actually are passionate about it. Catholics need to be better about this.

>Presbyterians

I only know one guy really well who was an ex-Presbyterian, and the reasoning and logic seems fairly sound.

>Methodists

Not sure I've met any of these guys

>Pentecostals

Lolll, they are pretty passionate and faithful I guess in their own ways

>Latin Rite Catholics

Pretty swell folks, a well-done Western Rite liturgy is really great and meditative in different ways. Also "Eucharistic Adoration" is awesome, and also the moment when the priest lifts the bread very very high as it becomes body of Christ is fantastic, nothing like that in Byzantine Rite as far as i know

>>573919

Anglicans also gave us the KJV (technically God gave it to us but he used them to do it). So, thanks Anglos!

baptists are bros, catholics are chill, orthodox are my homies

everyone else is fucked for certain
