/christian/ - Christian Discussion and Fellowship

As a Lebanese, whose country has been destroyed by both parties, and whose country is still being destroyed by both parties and their proxies (US, Iran, etc), I wish to see Israel/Palestine/whatever be Christian. I am against the Jews, and I am against the Palestinians equally. Both can piss off. It is rightful Christian soil.

>Is neutrality a valid option, brothers?

I wouldn't support much one over another too. I guess until some kind of christian state can be enforced (which is not likely to happen in near future) some sort of 2-state solution is best.

>>734191

>Am I wrong for not supporting any side in the Arab-Israeli conflict?

Nope.

>>734191

You do realize God established the state of Israel. right? Palestine is full of Muslims. Jews are the chosen people.

Didn't even see your post there. Marhaba, brother. I'm also leb.

Isn't that a deviation of Christian doctrine?

>>734285

>>734246

Is it true that there has been a Christian exodus from Lebanon?

>>734683

During the war, a lot of Christians fled the country. In more recent times, I cannot say for sure. The graduating youth are leaving because we have no jobs available, and because the economy is in shambles. I do not know whether this youth is mostly comprised of Christians or Muslims.

"Fun" Fact:

Kikes are obsessed with 6 because man was created on the sixth day. That's what the Talmud says.

They tried pulling the 6*10^6 on the Pogroms too. They believe Gematria and deception have more power than reality itself, so it's an even greater holokaustos (whole burnt offering) if it's a lie.

There's more than twice as many Lebanese outside Lebanon than in it. I think the largest group is in Brazil. I don't know about down there but here in Canada most Lebs are Maronite and Orthodox. I've only met one Leb muslim. Of course living in a godless country like this most of the Christians lose their faith within a generation or two.

How I wish she was Christian and single…

For the Lebs posting in this thread: do Arabic speaking Christians say things like "masha'Allah" or "alhamdulillah", or is that entirely a Muslim thing? What are some uniquely Christian Arabic language expressions?

>>735164

>masha'Allah

We do, but 1) not in that dialect (ie we say mashallah instead of masha'Allah) and 2) we rarely say it. Very rarely.

>alhamdulillah

We do, but not in that form. Instead of saying Alhamdulilah, we say hamdillah, which means the same thing.

We do NOT say Allahuakbar, despite what some Muslim twitter users tell you to appeal to us. We do not.

>What are some uniquely Christian Arabic language expressions?

Well, it differs for each dialect/country. In Lebanon, we say "smissalib", short for "biesm assalib", which translates to "In the name of the Cross". We do so when we are frightened, scared, surprised (in a "scary" way), when we bless someone. among other things.

We also say sometimes "ya adra", which translates to "Oh Virgin", an obvious reference to Virgin Mary. "Ya Yasou3 (the 3 is )", which translates "Oh Jesus". We usually say these things when we sit down in a tired fashion, when we are mentally tired, frustrated, joyous, among other things.

So far, these are the only things I can think of at the top of my head. Also, as I said these expressions differ in each country. Copts possibly have different expressions, Palestinian Christians the same, and so forth.

>>735197

>>735164

I forgot to mention. Instead of "masha'Allah", we say "smallah", which is short for "biesm Allah", ie in the Name of God. We also use this expression when we're impressed among the aforementioned adjectives.

Your posts are very informative, thank you. Is it common for Lebanese Muslims to convert to Christianity? I assume not, because apostasy is punishable by death in Sharia, but is that punishment actually enforced? And is it common for Christians to convert to Islam?

>>735211

>Your posts are very informative, thank you.

My pleasure, brother.

>Is it common for Lebanese Muslims to convert to Christianity?

I don't know the exact numbers because it is such a delicate topic here, since the war is still fresh in our minds. But I do have knowledge of Muslims converting to Christianity, and vice versa. However, I believe the former is more apparent, or prevalent rather, than the latter.

Yes hahah. kifak

The christians who fled during the civil war mostly returned.

> then why are there more leb christian diaspora than in lebanon?

Well, firstly lebanon is a tiny country so there's no way 8million christians will suddenly move back. But the reason they left in the first place is not because of 1) Saudi 2) Iran 3) Al-Assad. It's because during WWI, the Ottoman Empire blockaded all food to Mount Lebanon and almost half of the entire population starved to death. The largest christian exodus of the Middle East was during the Ott*man Empire, not even ISIS can beat their record. They genocided Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians, and almost wiped out mount lebanon. I forgave the Saudis and Persians easily, the turks I still am struggling to.

>>735211

Not often no, Lebanon is very tribal. If you're born Sunni, you're part of the sunni tribe of lebanon even if you declare yourself nonreligious. Same with maronite and other sects.

However, I will say that in Lebanon, many Muslims will make a mini-pilgrimage to the statue we have of Our Lady of Lebanon at Harissa and they will pray. I'm not sure what exactly they pray for, but they pray alongside us and honor the Virgin Mary. Of all the muslims in the Middle East, the Lebanese and then Jordanians are the most accepting of christians, by far. Jordanian christianity is very intriguing.

That was a suprisingly wholesome video for memepastor

London fag here - you live in 'little Lebanon' around the Edgware Rd?

oh thats why christiannity dropped from being 20% in the ME to 0.2%, do u know why they did that? did they miss their jyziah payment?

Why do you christ killers come to /christian/?

>>743292

This video comes from the Turkish government so I take it with a grain of salt. Same thing if it was a CNN, BBC or RT video.

This is a hard question indeed, at first I would just wish for them to winnie the pooh off.

But lately there is been a strong support of part of the evangelicals towards jew conservatism.

And honestly I kinda see the appeal of that, forcing anti degeneracy on their own people, striving for their religious beliefs, aggressively attacking those that oppose it. Its how I wish christians would act with their own people too.

The real problem is with the globalist jews whose goal seems to be shitting up the rest of the world.

>>734191

God expelled the Jews from the holy land, the Palestinians are far more Semitic than the European Jews that mass migrated to those lands less than a century ago displacing both Muslims and Christians living there.

Sorry but unless you're some evangelical nutcase from Burgerland (which means you are not christian and your opinion is of no value in this board), then the moral approach would be to support the people in Palestine living under an apartheid regime and getting the shit bombed out of them on a regular basis.

>>734191

>What is your stance on this conflict?

CONVERT EVERYONE TO CHRIST
