/christian/ - Christian Discussion and Fellowship

You have to love demons and Satan because love your enemy. Also love humans despite you know you'd likely get beaten up and rape if you encounter them.

>So I ask, how do you guys do not lose faith and drown in negativity?

I do not like to have things that happen in real life influence my views of religion. Its like saying you don't believe in gravity or whatever because the scientists behind it killed someone.

That being said,

I do criticize the degenerates. I remember telling a woman form my class that silicone wouldn't bring her happiness, and I tried to redpill a few people form my class about a lie my marxist teacher told.

For anyone interested in the documentary

It presents a lot of degeneracy of course, but I think it tries to convey a deeper meaning of how this new sexual liberation is absolutely shitfest and ruining how people relate to each other.

Why not?

>Its like saying you don't believe in gravity or whatever because the scientists behind it killed someone.

No it's not. If the scientist flies or floats while walking it would influence your belief in gravity.

>>750396

>Why not?

Well its poorly worded but whatever. Now for the counterquestion, why should I? If my faith was supposed to end when I saw something this-evil, why didn't it end earlier when I saw something that-evil?

Besides I do not use "goodness" to say "yeah god is real", so its information reacting to unrelated information. I use stuff like Aquinas 5 ways. Also the good news that the Catholic+Orthodox churches are ending their schism and that a great Monarch is coming against the arabs.

>If the scientist flies or floats while walking it would influence your belief in gravity.

Sure I guess.

>>750393

Wait a second meant to reply to >>750386 in there.

>>750386

>but I can't help it

Not with that attitude you can't. Smash your screen if it is a problem you truly can't help.

>So I ask, how do you guys do not lose faith and drown in negativity?

I don't consume the negativity.

>>750398

Ok

>>750414

Good post.

>>750414

My family turned Mennonite back in the 80's.

Literally buried the TV in the yard.

>>750398

I agree with on both regards, other people's shit behavior shouldn't affect our faith and purpose, but at the same time we shouldn't just lay idle but try to spread the word of god as we know it.

I guess my question was, how to let that shit drag us down and how to remain positive and hopeful?

>Also the good news that the Catholic+Orthodox churches are ending their schism and that a great Monarch is coming against the arabs

Now what are you talking about here?

>>750414

Good point, things are always changing and we never know how it will end up.

>>750395

just saw it.

Such decadence.

It would be better without commentary since it was pretty bluepilled full of feminist talking points, feminists helped creating this culture dont play victim now.

Someone should edit out the commentators and insert Aquinas and other saints definitions on masculinity and femininity.

Also that girl crying that her young sister will have to go through all that pressure, she should cry instead on how she is such an awful role model to her sister. The culture didnt force her to go twerking on stage and on camera for millions more to see, poor younger sister.

>putting faith in man

>not in God

>>750386

>showcasing the worst side of their personalities

Who's they, in this case?

Women, or the men posting in those threads?

Not that it matters, both answers are equally valid, given incel/MGTOW/r9k cultures and memes have turned into modern feminism and radical feminism, but for men.

>Now what are you talking about here?

He's talking about how there are some prophecies across apostolic Christendom that say(and i'm picking the most important common parts) after a lot of islamic social tensions and violence in France and England, in our darkest hour, a great central european monarch will come, rebirth the ERE/HRE/Austrian/Russian(combination depends on who's saying it) monarchies, help mend the Great Schism, retake Constantinople, and at the end of his life, take a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and place his crown at the foot of the Cross, to be taken into heaven, right before the Apocalypse begins in earnest.

Catholic, Orthodox, Oriental, and Nestorian saints all speak of such things.

Buuuut, I personally believe there is a high chance they are a ductaped together coping mechanism, given islamic expansion, taken from the Apocalypse of Pseudo-Methodius and other sources, and mixed with whatever nationalistic hopes were prevalent for the audience at the time.

Or maybe i'm wrong.

>>750386

>how do you guys do not lose faith

Because my faith does not hinge on how degenerate someone else is. The entire world could fall into degeneracy and my faith would stay as strong as it ever was. Validation of my faith does not require a single other human being.

>Get a hobby

this

Especially a useful hobby like woodworking. There's a reason they say that idle hands are the devil's playthings.

They were I think, but there's been lots of changes in the family and now they're nondenominational, pretty close to Pentecostal. I wish I had been around during those simpler days.

I used to browse /pol/ a ton, and I was constantly in the blackpilled mindset. A few months ago I just kinda stopped going there, I haven't looked back, and I'm a lot happier now. It's one thing to be blissfully ignorant (bluepilled) , but it's another to realize that there isn't much you can do about the bad things in the world and that worrying incessantly about it is horrible for your mental health. Life is not an action movie or a video game where one normal man can change the fate of humanity. Jesus did that, but He's not a normal man. The best thing we can do is to try our best to be like Him in our daily lives, in the hope that we can have a small impact on those around us and that others will do the same.

>>750386

Luckily, you only need faith in Christ.

>>750769

Hey man. I'm a protestant convert comming into the Eastern Catholic Church, and what sold me was the "comming home network" it's a catholic show that talks to peoples journey on their journey through life until they joined the Catholic church. There are pastors of all denominations on there. There is a lot of in depth theology throughout the good episodes where people struggled through the nuances of the Catholic Tradition. It really allowed me to see why I was against being Catholic, and then I took each nuance seriously and looked at all the arguments. I then prayed about it for several weeks, and my heart pulled me to the Catholic church. I'm still converting, but I have faith God will lead me to where he wants. I was actually close to going to seminary for Calvinism.

>>750769

Funny. I don't know about the rest of you, but whenever I look further back into Church the less catholic or eastern orthodox it seem to me, especially the ante-niceaen era. Of course, what I'm mostly looking into is the church's perspective on sanctification and justification, yet there was a apparent (at least to me) shift of said perspective once the monastic movement happened. Maybe it's just my bias, only God knows.

So did you get to watch the full thing?

I'm kinda holding out on it but at the same afraid to watch as if would make me feel either disgusted or depressed.
