I'm here I'll do anything
I wound consider myself a Protestant currently but all denominations are welcome.
Because they are the only Christian option, but I don't agree with trump he is not a Christian.
Born again? Spirit filled?
What do you mean? Am i these things?
Have you heard of speaking in tongues before?
what do you think of killing all jews?
Yes of course. Its not something I practice
This is my idea for the ministry. We should show all those in despair the love Jesus has to offer them.
Over the next few days I will add some.
Do you go to church regularly?
Good idea. There are a lot of great sermons on YouTube we can link in posts
You should watch pastor steve cioccolanti. He has some of the most engaging sermons. I love his ministry especially regarding end times prophecies and the book of revelations.
Personally learning about God's love made me a Christian again so we should use things like that. Being an incel is the lack of love. for example we could do a post about the parable of the vineyard worker
We should.
Tag the word made flesh also.
How do you tag people on here? with the @ symbol?
Yes, then start typing in the user and it should pop up
What do you mean by this? @flesh ?
@The_word_made_flesh
Ah right. Is he also thinking about doing the same as us?
Alright, goodnight.
What do you mean
It's alright, I thought he was saying to tag the word "flesh", not "the word made flesh"
I think one must tag the whole name
Can I ask you the question you just asked? I've asked countless Christians this, and everyone forbade me from reading the Bible myself. Why is the book of truth so difficult to understand that everyone interprets it differently, yet the Church's interpretation is the most correct? Why does the Church have the prerogative to interpret the Bible and theology? Is it truly objective? As I've said many times, when 1+1 is no longer 2, any lie—whether meaningful or meaningless—can become and is the truth. There is no longer good or evil, right or wrong, life or death, reproductive or non-reproductive. At that point, power becomes the ultimate truth, and they have the right to impose any rules on you because they have money, power, and the media to make their version of the reality.
Well, I'm not a Christian. I view it as an allegorical story and have my own interpretation.
it seems reasonable that Scripture contains both. Do you have a specific portion? If the Bible didn't have any anthropomorphic language, God becomes distant and abstract. If one accepts it too literally, God begins to resemble an exaggerated man.
Thomas Aquinas argued that reason and learning support faith. When a honest Christian investigates atheism enough he will find his faith is true as did I and many others. A man may repeat doctrines all his life and yet possess no real faith at all. Faith is a settled trust in God. Faith is not opposed to logic. This, I think, is too simple, reason is a fine instrument, but not an unlimited one. Faith enters most often where reason reaches its boundary, consciousness, creation, objective morals, ect.
Fall into the arms of our savior Jesus Christ maybe
I also acknowledge the typo made in the opening statement of this thread
All of it really. If the bible is just a repackaging of an abstract concept how is it different from mythology or any other fictional work.
The conservative party in America has positioned itself as the most friendly to Christians, trump in particular pushed himself as the bastion of protestant-Zionism through his support of israel. remember the roevwade situation, that actively put trump in a very very good light as the only president to challenge abortion rights. Even for those who despise him his seen as the lesser evil
its not that its impossible for someone to solo-read the bible and have a well informed understanding of it, but it does hold historical context and spiritual information. that someone without a proper background in church history and theology will fail to interpret right. imagine providing someone without any proper education 10 text books of math from university level. they might get general key ideas and concept but without a professor to interpret this concepts for them they will never have an in-depth knowledge
The heretics want to change the meanings. Like look at JW/WTC for example taking out the end of Matthew just to fit their agenda.
