Catholicism and Homosexuality 07/26/19 (Fri) 14:02:53 4318db No.9739 [Open Thread]

Let's have an earnest discussion on this topic, because up until now it was shut down on /christian/ every single time by the Catholic mods. How prevalent is homosexuality among the Catholic clergy, and if homosexuality and pedophilia are as common as most sources claim (+50%), then how can the Catholic church even be recognized as a valid Christian organisation? I know Catholics will claim that this is all somehow fabricated and that only <0.1% of priests are deviants, etc. pp., but here are my sources, and I can find many more:

>“You’re so attractive,” he said. “You’re in great shape and you have beautiful clothes. Come on, you must know that everyone is staring at you all the time. You know full well that every guy here including the priests and even the bishop would f*ck you if they had the chance.”

https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/gay-catholic-inside-the-seminary-closet/

>But gay men probably make up at least 30 to 40 percent of the American Catholic clergy, according to dozens of estimates from gay priests themselves and researchers. Some priests say the number is closer to 75 percent. One priest in Wisconsin said he assumed every priest was gay unless he knows for a fact he is not. A priest in Florida put it this way: “A third are gay, a third are straight and a third don’t know what the hell they are.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/17/us/it-is-not-a-closet-it-is-a-cage-gay-catholic-priests-speak-out.html

>In September 2018 a report was leaked that reported that 3,677 children in Germany, mostly boys under age 13, were sexually abused by Catholic clergy members over the past seven decades". About 1,670 church workers, or 4.4% of the clergy, had been involved in the abuse which is "shocking and probably just the tip of the iceberg" according to Germany's Federal Justice Minister Katarina Barley[68]

I think it's safe to say it's prevalent throughout not only the Catholic church, but others as well. Islam does not attempt to enforce chastity and the current pope endorses it in place of Christianity. Letting people have a sexual outlet is far safer than generating incels and predatory priests, if you ask me. Full disclosure: Not a catholic.

The Catholic Church has stood sentinal against homosexuality and sexual immorality in general for over 2000 years, where's your evidence that they actually support each other. Right now, there is a push by the homosexual community to convince Catholics specifically that it's "OK to be Gay". Why? Because Lucifer's ultimate goal is the destruction of Our Lord's Holy Catholic Church.

The problem with the catholic church is not the pedophilia but the fact that they keep covering it up. This is why central church structures don't work. Men are always fallible, and rather than admit that, people will hide the truth in order to keep the belief that their clergy are divine (and infallible).

>Vespasian as yet lacked prestige and a certain divinity, so to speak, since he was an unexpected and still new-made emperor; but these also were given him.

>A man of the people who was blind, and another who was lame, came to him together as he sat on the tribunal, begging for the help for their disorders which Serapis had promised in a dream; for the god declared that Vespasian would restore the eyes, if he would spit upon them, and give strength to the leg, if he would deign to touch it with his heel.

>Though he had hardly any faith that this could possibly succeed, and therefore shrank even from making the attempt, he was at last prevailed upon by his friends and tried both things in public before a large crowd; and with success. At this same time, by the direction of certain soothsayers, some vases of antique workmanship were dug up in a consecrated spot at Tegea in Arcadia and on them was an image very like Vespasian.

>Suetonius (CE 121)

>In the course of the months which Vespasian spent at Alexandria, waiting for the regular season of summer winds when the sea could be relied upon, many miracles occurred. These seemed to be indications that Vespasian enjoyed heaven’s blessing and that the gods showed a certain leaning towards him.

>Among the lower classes at Alexandria was a blind man whom everybody knew as such. One day this fellow threw himself at Vespasian’s feet, imploring him with groans to heal his blindness. He had been told to make this request by Serapis, the favourite god of a nation much addicted to strange beliefs. He asked that it might please the emperor to anoint his cheeks and eyeballs with the water of his mouth. A second petitioner, who suffered from a withered hand, pleaded his case too, also on the advice of Serapis: would Caesar tread upon him with the imperial foot?

>At first Vespasian laughed at them and refused. When the two insisted, he hesitated. At one moment he was alarmed by the thought that he would be accused of vanity if he failed. At the next, the urgent appeals of the two victims and the flatteries of his entourage made him sanguine of success.

Vespasian's miracles came after Christianity was already well known and causing problems in Rome (69-70 ad). Tacitus doubted their veracity as there was nothing to lose by being a witness and much to lose by denying the miracles.

The opposite was true for the apostles testimony. Also, Christ performed the miracles 40 years earlier - obvious Vespasian was copying well-known stories and trying to lure ignorant Christians.

Pope slaps worshipper's hand 01/01/20 (Wed) 14:16:46 f8188e No.11781 [Open Thread]

The audacity of this guy. Tells people to be patient and to import millions of violent throat cutting maniacs. Slaps a worshippers hand and shouts at her instead of giving her a second of his time. To be clear, the woman was absolutely wrong in grabbing him. But there is nothing that justifies this reaction. Personally, it was hard and heartbreaking to watch. Almost brought tears to my eyes even. Can you imagine being a devout worshipper of Christ, waiting for a chance to meet his representative on earth your whole life, and then being treated like a dog by him? Just how long are you catholics going to put up with this absolute heretic?

Aren't all churches pozzed these days though? Plus I have a cathedral within 10 minutes train journey of where I live. Seems kind of nonsensical that God would forsake us for just going to a church where some of the higher-ups that I'm likely to never meet do some kind of evil? I would've thought that I could go there, sing his praises, partake in prayer and glorify him, and if the leader of the congregation says something degenerate/wicked I could just go and pray for God to forgive them and to express my disagreement with what they say.

He won't forsake you, just like he won't forsake you if you sat at home going to no church at all. It is still not acceptable to support the heretics with your time and offerings.

It's bad, and it's not just the higher-ups. It's every level, laypeople to rector to bishop to archbishop.

Was the flood exaggerated? 07/26/19 (Fri) 07:05:25 7a09f7 No.9703 [Open Thread]

In the bible it says that only Noah and his family survived the great flood. Is it possible that this is only hyperbole and the great flood was exaggerated?

I ask because in Numbers 13:32-33 the bible describes Israelite spies finding the descendants of the Nephilim.

My first thought was it was just Israelite spies were exaggerating to avoid conflict, however, this is unlikely as the bible itself says:

"he descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim".

How could there be decedents of the Nelphilim on the earth in the time of Moses if no one but Noah and his family survived the flood?

There was a mass extinction event 12000 to 13000 years ago. The humans had an iron age technology but were not widespread. So it is conceivable a flood wiped them all out. This is more probable if humans were confined to one island perhaps Antarctica. In addition 6000 years is not enough time for humans to have spread all over the world and diverged genetically as much as they have but 12000 years is.

Worship Jehovah God alone. 01/20/20 (Mon) 22:00:00 c3e327 No.12243 [Open Thread]

Jehovah is God Almighty, there is no other. The trinity doctrine is fake. Worshiping Jesus is blasphemy! Jesus is the only begotten son of Jehovah Almighty, he is his chief archangel and was instructed by Jehovah to create the universe but all worship and glory passes through Jesus to Jehovah and Jehovah alone!

"IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD

AND THE WORD WAS A GOD

JOHN 1:1

Read the Greek it says the Word is a god which the Bible uses for angels, Jesus is not God! Trinity believers are polytheists! You worship 3 gods admit it when the Bible says there is only one true God who exists outside of all things. We worship only one true God, we are monotheists, trinity believers are polytheistic! Jesus is a creation of Jehovah and exists in a created state. Repent! Repent of your idolatry and worship Jehovah alone. Jesus will lead you to Jehovah through his loving force the Holy Spirit, but Jesus wants you to worship Jehovah and Jehovah ALONE!

It doesn't say "the word was a God", koine Greek doesn't even have an indefinite article. That is a deliberate mistranslation only found in the JW version to enforce a doctrine after the fact.

I spoke with some JWs today. What is our trinitarian answer as to why Jesus is called the firstborn of all creation (Col. 1:15)

JWs argue that this means Jesus was created. I'm finding answers that say "firstborn" is equivalent to "Lord" here, referencing his role in creation.

https://biblehub.com/commentaries/colossians/1-15.htm

https://www.gotquestions.org/Jesus-first-born.html

JW bibles don't say "For by him were all things created,", they say all other things, because they think Jesus is created.

I would like to address a common heathenry within the ranks of glow in the dark agencies: Mormonism / LDS / Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints.

As of these current years, this cult likes to call itself Christian and begin its advertisement with half truths presenting what appears to be a shared language and worldview with Christians. For example, the first taste of their heathenry that they may share is asking if you have accepted Christ. Or, it may be a video presenting a familiar Gospel story. As with any other Satanically-inspired organization, it is their job to trick you into forsaking the real Lord Jesus. In order to shown that they are in fact NOT Christian, I will try to show the big differences.

The Christian:

>His Scripture is representative of the Biblical Canon: the new and Old Testaments. There may be importance given to Deuterocanonical works of the ancients that cover Christian theology, but these do not alter the foundations nor are they given the same importance

>He worships God and God alone: he rejects polytheism, and rejects the mere existence of other gods

>He accepts the Trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit

>He views himself rightly as a creature: that is, a creation of God, and understands his place

The Mormon:

>His scripture includes the Biblical Canon as well as extrabiblical canon given greater importance than the former as shown by its given precedence where it directly contradicts Biblical Canon

>He is a polytheist who believes denies the Trinity (three persons in one substance) in its actual definition and will claim to believe in the Trinity as defined by the cult

>they believe that everyone is a god, created through God the father ("Father God") having sexual intercourse with a goddess

>they believe that everyone has a chance to earn their own planet, goddess wife, and god children just as Father God earned

>ergo, they believe that Father God was once human just likPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Should We Rename Planets To Be After Angels/Prophets/ And Saints Instead Of Pagan Deities? 01/29/20 (Wed) 22:15:58 cb5f64 No.12595 [Open Thread]

As the title says should we rename planets after angels/prophets/saints instead of pagan deities? In Exodus 23:13 it said “Pay attention to that I have said to you, and make no mention of the names of other gods, nor let it be herd from your lips.” when we named planets after pagan deities we are force to mention their names and this becomes unavoidable for Christians who want to be devout and I see this as being unnecessary as before the west pretty much globalized the world, different countries and cultures had named the planets differently from each other and I don’t see why as a Christian dominated society that we couldn’t do the same especially since we are not talking about historical records, relics, or another person’s religion or spiritual beliefs

get into a lot of conversations about planets, do you ?

find those conversations confusing because you mention the name of that big gas giant with the rings, and suddenly the guy you're talking to begins to loudly shout the praises of the deity you've mentioned, kills a chicken and starts scrying through its entrails looking for augurs ?

no ?

then it's probably alright to call planets by their commonly accepted names, seeing as the roman pantheon hasn't been actively worshipped in nearly 2 thousand years

also: do you think it's possible you've misunderstood the biblical injunction not to have the names of foreign gods on one's lips, seeing as the same bible mentions several heathen gods itself, with the expectation being that these same stories about B'aal worshippers getting slaughtered would be read aloud, and perhaps there's an inference you're missing along the lines of 'not swearing oaths' in the name of such idols ?

You wouldn't be able to stop there rather you'd then have to extend it to the names of the days and months of the year and to all the moons, constellations and asteroids as well.

>I don’t see why as a Christian dominated society that we couldn’t do the same

The names are a part of the West's pre-Christian heritage.

Pretty much what the other two said.

Since whatever deity it's named after hasn't been worshiped in over 2000 years there's there's no real harm in it as now it's just a nod to the West's heritage and culture. At the absolute worst it will make you look up the mythology and history behind the name.

You argue that Jesus was never commanded to sin by Mary.. But wouldn't that then also require MARY'S PARENTS to be sinless and never commanded for her to sin?

If not, then why does Mary need to be sinless to never command Jesus to sin?

Also: Matthew 10:

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

You are obligated to RESIST SIN even if your parents command you to do so. "Honor your parents" does not mean "Always obey your parents".

Most Foundational Belief 01/29/20 (Wed) 04:13:31 2cc3bf No.12578 [Open Thread]

What is your most foundational Christian belief? I think I might have to say biblical inerrancy, but prior to that, I believe God is Logos and Logos is is revealed fully through Jesus Christ and to an extent through nature and there is a sense in which the Bible is Logos in book form. So I almost rest easy (not easy enough) thinking my biblical inerrancy comes from my Christology. I would think many Protestants would believe in Sola Scriptura on a very foundational level, but I only believe in Sola Scriptura to the extent that I don’t ~know~ if any source of doctrine, rule of faith and practice, etc other than the Bible is God breathed. That is to say, I feel like I’m straddling the line between Catholic and Protestant or even Baptist if we consider that distinct from Protestant. I am not trained in rigorous thinking and would appreciate seeing others’ answer to the first question to help refine my own beliefs. Secondarily, I hope it may even shed light on how united we are.

Christ is the cornerstone. The foundational belief of Christianity is the gospel.

You have to know that you're a sinner needing a savior, and that the God-man Jesus is that savior.

Scripture is how we arrive at our knowledge of God, but you can be preached the gospel and believe without ever encountering a Bible.

Sola scriptura is our belief that scripture alone is the final authority in doctrine, as opposed to our feelings or additional revelation or the decree of the pope.

Don't listen to these naysayers, OP. You should make every part of your life as Christian as possible, and if you enjoy skateboarding, then bring a little bit of Christianity into it. Can't think of a single biblical or Christian-traditional reason not to skateboard as long as you using it as a vehicle towards immorality. And while others may see it as desecration of icons, God knows your heart, and as long as you aren't doing it because you enjoy destroying Christian artwork, rather are instead just enjoying representing Christianity while you engage in your hobby, I'm thinking the Lord will know that.

Has anyone heard about this? I've known about Hugh Owen and the Kolbe Center for awhile now, but I just found out about this 17 part documentary they made about the history of evolutionary theory. The first two episodes are free (just enter a fake e-mail and you can watch them) and it goes into some interesting history. I didn't know about the occult influences on Descartes and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.

I'll be buying the series at some point. If it is good I'll be trying to get it shown to the church.
