/christianity/ - Christian Theology & Philosophy

one hour until the final day of divegrass begins

>>11423

This board actually has the highest population of catholics.

Well, other denomination will let out their voice anyways even though the board is solely for catholic

>>11423

>>>/christian/

Before this site got nuked, it had more people, better threads and less protestants. This board, /christianity/ spun off cause some didn't like the mods. /chrsitian/ is more catholic and orthodox, and /christianity/ is more protestant, primarily anababtist.

>>11423

/catholic/ and /orthodox/ each existed at one point. This is a board for all Christians, so don't expect helpful discussion of you lead off with bait like "Protestants and other heretics".

Feel free to claim either one.

>>11428

We have always had Roman Catholics and eastern orthodox here.

>primarily anabaptist

What? We've never had any.

>>11374

>>11380

It's also hilarious when secularists point to heretical luke-warm individuals as being indicative of anything other than themselves.

Muslims worship satan. Their symbol is the moon and the morning star, both symbols of satan. When muhammed would have his "revelations" he would writhe, growl, and foam at the mouth, all classic symptoms of demonic posession.

>>11396

Actually no. The true story behind Islam is far simpler. See >>11363

>deny christ

>"friends"

f— off saracen

>>5282

>are muslims our friends?

The moderate ones. Yea.

>spiritually?

No.

>do we treat them like how we wanted to be treated?

Jesus shows us the example perfectly. So yea

>do we worhip the same God?

Hell no.

>thoughts on muslims bros?

They sometimes come to us for some questioning. Just pray what we told them would make them turn to Jesus

He played in role in my salvation - he's not perfect for sure but he speaks a lot of hard truths freely.

His Holiness Pastor Steven Anderson is the patron saint of /christianity/.

>>5332

His zeal is admirable but he's not a theologian.

>>9233

>But I'll tell you what I know for sure: that they who live in sin do not have a credible profession of faith

Oh OK, I guess the Apostle Paul didn’t have a credible profession of faith, thanks for clearing that up for us Mr. Sinless Perfectionist.

>>5332

He is fine but very vocal. He says things we actually wouldn't say.

Also him cursing his enemy is kinda like it too and he unironically demonizes a person properly according to the bible, kek.

Anw he demonstrates everything he could do to win a soul, based chad

>>9225

Redundant ever since Summorum Pontificum and the FSSP

>>9230

>>9368

>>9511

I can't tell if this is concern trolling or not

>>11329

The FSSP is the definition of controlled opposition. There's a reason they still haven't been given a single bishop after 50 years. In my city they aren't even allowed their own church, they're forced to share a church with a Novus Ordo congregation and the FSSP priests are only allowed to call themselves "associate pastors," they're under the authority of the Novus Ordo priest.

People who saw the systemic corruption in the RCC but simply can't force themselves to break away due to years and years of conditioning so started a new thing but say it's the original thing.

>>9993

A virtuous pagan imo

>>11316

>global warming now which cause by christians

Yeah China is totally a Christian nation.

Buddha is an Antichrist, he is man in the place of God.

Treat any statues of Buddha as any other idols and throw them into the Tiber.

>>10012

Mainline Buddhist's teach reincarnation, in which they're taught to try to break free from. Even in my years as an atheist, these guys seemed nuttier than most religions. If there's nothing after life, wouldn't it make sense to desire extending our existence here indefinitely? Christians seem to have a better grasp of what they want by comparison in this regard.

I remember asking a Buddhist promoting their nonsense on campus once about this, and his answer to if humans ever created immortality, was the only way for Buddhists to remain consistent was to abstain from it, since the goal is to reach Nivana.

>>11300

>if only we could convert the dalia lama to orthodoxy

I was going to go to Dharamshala and try to talk to the guy, but I ended up doing something else. Perhaps we could spam him with BEGOME ORDODOX :DDDDDDDDDDDD

>>11367

Congratulations on spamming your incoherent indoctrination. Maybe you might be better received on reddit or something.

>>11366

You came into this thread, a thread about Protestant persecution by catholics in Mexico, and started whining about Baptists and making excuses for the actions of catholics.

You're just another asshurt papist who can't stand the fact that /christianity/ doesn't auto-censor anything vaguely anti-catholic even if it's literally just a news article.

>>11366

you're something else

>>11371

>Charlemagne executed in the massacre of Verden over 4500 people who had already surrendered.

And it ended up being his version of Benghazi, for the rest of his reign.

>This was a single well documented massacre

And among the only ones.

Which is why when you ask larpagans about this massive heathen persecution supposedly happening everywhere that they talk about, they invoke the Saxons and….that's pretty much it?

Maybe Olaf Tryggvason, if they are autistic about history.

>>11366

Your containment board is calling, bro.

A Dominican and a Franciscan both die and go to heaven. Standing before the pearly gates St Peter checks his list and says "Ah here you are! Let me go make sure your accommodations are ready."

Then, all of a sudden, choirs start singing and angles come out and the saints start chanting the Dominicans name. Saint Thomas Aquinas, St Dominic and the Virgin Mary herself greet the Dominican on a cloud and say "come brother, let us take you to our lord" and the Dominican flies off on a cloud with them

The Franciscan is left dumbstruck and wonders in anticipation which saints will come to meet him! So he sits there and he waits… and waits… and a few hours go by and he gets impatient when suddenly a friar comes and finds him

"Oh you're still here? come on come on…" and takes him through the gates and the Franciscan asks "wait which saints would greet me? I was expecting Francis and Anthony and Bonaventure!" and the friar sighs "Ugh, you're a Franciscan we've got hundreds of you in heaven, it's not everyday you get a Dominican!"

Seriously someone explain these jokes. I usually can understand jokes even if I don't get them but I'm completely drawing a blank here.

>>11221

The joke is that dominicans don't usually go to heaven

A Franciscan and a Jesuit were arguing about whether the Franciscans or the Jesuits were more favored by God. Finally, they decided that the only one who could settle the matter was God. So they prayed, the heavens opened up, and a piece of paper came fluttering down. When they picked it up, this is what it said,

My children,

Please stop quarreling about such absurd and trivial matters.

Sincerely,

God, O.P.

>>10447

Will do and for all of us who stray from God's path

>>3945

Please pray for my friends leaving Mormonism, i want them free…

i'll pray for you, God will help you.>>3945

If there's anyone here, please pray for me. I'm having trouble finding a job and it's driving me crazy.

>>11305

Praying for you

>>7683

Are you defining "answer prayers" to mean "give you what you ask for regardless of the request"?

>>7685

No, there is God's will to take into account as well, and clearly some requests/prayers are not helpful.

>>7501

https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2019/nov/06/terry-bogard-now-available-super-smash-bros-ultimate/

>>7501

yeah because jebus is more of a tekken guy

>>7638

>>7644

Incorrect, you can ask God what you want. Whether he gives it or not is not you to decide

>>7501

No, it's not. even Jesus ask silly things like delivered from the cross.

>>7638

Well, it's not like asking them to sin or anything. According to how Jesus gather his disciples, maybe God will show them some signs/ideas to put it in motion.

>>11244

>c-catholics had it bad too

lel, maybe you should go back?

>>11246

Yeah, there is this fringe group of blacks who believe God is a black woman, they have YT videos and the reasons and studied backing why they believe this are silly. It's as amusing as the people who worship google.

>>11246

it's pretty amusing.

>>11259

I guarantee you that guy just wants to have sex with his mother. Pretty gross and sad.

>>11073

>prophet

Congratulations Mohammad you got yourself caught. What's the next part of your master plan?

At the right hand of the Father.

Keep in mind from genesis to Jesus being born was 4000 years. We may only be half way there. -.-

>>11073

Spotted the jew

Of the 500 or so people who claimed to see Jesus risen from the dead, the vast majoirty of them went to their bloody deaths refusing to renounce Him? People aren't willing to die for something they know is a lie, and hallunciation could only explain a few. Even then it would be debatable because people cannot share hallucinations.

>but some of them did renounce

A very small minority yes, it's more likely that they were lying to avoid punishment then that the majority were lying to receive punishment.

Many people have actually died for a lie. But no one dies for what they know is a lie. If the disciples stole the body of Jesus, then claimed he rose from the dead, they suffered and died for what they knew was a lie.

sage and hide

>>11137

She have a thigh tattoo like OP?

>>11137

God she looks like an ugly mongrel.

>>11176

>she

That's obviously a man

It's been a wild ride, switched denominations and it's a big change though I'm extremely contented. How about you brother?

I’ve been thinking about going the non denominational route.

Don’t get me wrong brothers, I think there is usually great wisdom in the old adage that “you should grow where you’re planted” and I have no problems with the protestant Lutheran church I was raised in but I’ve simply come to believe over time that denominationalism simply does not matter in the big picture.

Loving one another and having faith in our lord and savior Jesus Christ and asking him for forgiveness of our sins is really all thats required but to each their own.

Perhaps the lord calls others to be a part of this denomination or that because something about that particular way of doung things best aids a specific person in their individual spiritual growth.

After all as much as we are all alike as human beings we are all still very different in personality and temperament.

>>11238

If it didn't mean anything to be associated with a denomination then you wouldn't be deciding to leave the one you're coming from

I think non-denom churches are just fine and have been part of a few myself, but if we're honest with ourselves anything we articulate in theology has probably already been said before so you're in line with someone (Baptist ecclesiology, Lutheran soteriology etc)

There is great value in identifying with a historic tradition in particular but at any place and at any time it's definitely possible that non associating is better

>>11238

The important thing is being saved - everything else comes after. I'd always suggest people belong to a God-fearing Bible-believing Baptist church but you could attend every service in such a church and remain unsaved. Denomination always comes a distant, distant second to accepting your salvation in Christ.

>>10902

>That's not what your verse is saying they're doing

Yes it is.

>"Crying unto God" can be done by anything that can make sound

If you could interpret a translation in multiple ways, you look at the original text for clarity instead of simply interpreting the translation to fit your preconceived idea of what it should mean. KJV is poor on this phrase, it should say "call" not "cry". The word is qara, it means to call, to name, to speak out, to read aloud. It is used 734 times in the bible, and only ever used in the context of speech or names. Like "And God called the light Day and the darkness he called Night" or "And Adam called his wife's name" or "And she called the name of the LORD". It is never used in the context of an animal making a normal animal sound.

>>10906

>>bu-but even fedoras use my arguments!

That's not what I said. Try reading.

>thinks animal overpopulation is "bizarre" and only makes sense when applied to humans

It does not say they will be overpopulated, it says they will be too many for us to deal with. Your examples are literally populations we can deal with, none of those pose any threat to us at all. And again, it says beasts of the field, not wild animals. What beast of the field could become too numerous for us to deal with? Do you think cows or horses can breed to the point of becoming a threat to us?

>Because I'm starting to think only a beast could be low IQ enough to produce posts like yours.

If my posts are so stupid, why are you incapable of a rebuttal? You failed to rebut the beasts calling to the Lord, you ignored the beasts wearing sack cloth, you ignored the beasts having hands, you ignored the beasts of the field eating grapes and olives, and you have presented absolutely no scripture to support your belief that negroes are of Adam.

Skin idolators.

Hittites were not indo-european. They are Canaanites Ham's children who occupied Anatolia and fought Ramses the 2nd at the battle of Kadesh.

Why people say they are indo-european?

Someone needs to make a thread on this topic.
