/christian/ - Christian Discussion and Fellowship

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Read Romans 15:25-30.

This is about Macedonia sending money to the poor faithful of Jerusalem. It's the laity's duty to help the Church in missionary matters, internal and external.

That is only about the afterlife though, and this is clearly about the Earth as it is right now, so stop weaseling your way out of this.

I understand this but this gives all the ammunition into the fagans's hands that they could possibly ever need.

>>760337

If you change your beliefs according to the unfaithful, you're a even bigger heretic.

>>760339

It makes it pretty hard to convert fagans when they can nitpick verses like this and claim "christianity is just a jewish trick".

We must counter their slander!

No

>>760337

You can take any line from the Bible and take it out of context. LARPagans and Fedoras do it all the time.

Interpretation is a thing, it seems quite obvious, that it says if you follow them for spiritual things, then its also their duty to give us carnal things.

Also you should've used the QTDDTOT thread, welcome newfriend.

The so called jews are anti-human and anti-nature…does this sound to you like superiority?

>>760352

Doesnt this verse literally say that we must render untop the jews in carnal matters?

>>760381

It says whatever you want it to say, just like the rest of the scriptures. It's all about interpretation within religions, which is what creates conflicts. Now guess who's benefiting from these conflicts?

>>760332

No, OP. This verse asserts that as the original children of the Promise, Jewish Christians have a responsibility to Gentile Christians. Responsibility != overlordship. The first will be last and the last first.

The only way to counter slander is with Truth, just say the Truth. It was never easy to convert anyone.

Life is not that way, a lot of people think they can create the perfect political system, the perfect argument, and the perfect family in a homestead if only they could plan enough.

But the Devil will destroy your machinations just as easily. You can't auto-pilot your way into Heaven, you must be always on guard and tackle every cross as they come.
