ITT we discuss all aspects of the Christian faith and hang out with fellow Christianbros.
Personally I'm not here to debate with Atheists, I was one for 13+ years, I'm indifferent towards them now. Arguing with them on an estonian woodchipper forum isnt really my thing. What denominations do we have representing here, tonight lads?
Um, This is an ATHEIST board thank you very much. No religion allowed.

Yes and I'm 6/10 butthurt over it, almost as mad as I am at myself for replying to whats most certainly bait.
Theres not actually anything in the bible that indicates Modern Christians (New Testament) are under any obligation or reason to be circumcised. In fact, this is pretty clearly stated:
For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of God.

Yes, go to church. Theres only like 50 people regular members in my church and still a handful of very attractive family oriented single girls there. They will require an actually Christian man however, and providing this is a general theme among them, you'll either need to become one or go out into the world and meet chicks IRL. When I was younger I spent a summer studying PUA online (inb4 wannabe Chad) and got over ALL my social stigmas with women and landed a 9/10 Blonde GF who I'm still currently with. Theres TONS of good girls out there, you just have to filter through waves of whores/degenerates to find them

I was raised baptist, but became "non-denominational" once I left home (that's what I put on my dog tags, anyway). I guess I'd still call myself non-denominational, but I've considered checking out orthodox and catholic churches.
God bless, bros!
Blake Nguyen
He said born again. Christianity has no concept of being reborn/reincarnation.
Yeah, fasting is more of a traditional thing. It is how orthodox abhrahamic religions wants you to beat yourself up, but in hinduism its for soul/body cleansing.
Sounds like he's just a cuck, bluepilled "nice god" Christianity is a peeve of mine. The LORD above once drowned everything on the planet (with almost no exceptions), and bathed entire cities in fire. He stated that birds would eat the flesh of the enemies of god and they did.
The guy isnt about "let people walk all over you" and "be the ultimate betamale because you're going to heaven regardless" if you ask me.

Matthew Garcia
There is no "God," you're living in a computer simulation inside a computer simulation inside the mind of a god who lives in a computer simulation of a computer simulation. An operetta within an operetta.
And that (g)od is actually a demon. And he's working as hard as he can to destroy the simulation that's running the simulation you call your/our reality. Once base-reality crashes, everything ceases to exist. Including the innumerable multiverses which each exist in the consecutive, near-infinite chain of simulations. If base reality doesn't crash, it will inevitably cease to exist anyway. At least for carbon-based lifeforms like me and you, that is. Because the universe and everything else is heading for a state of equilibrium, total obliteration. It's gonna get real cold, Cochise, then there will only be the vast expanse of nothingness.
You are as insignificant as a droplet of rainwater on a leaf. But don't feel sad, because there is NOTHING to fear about nothing. Nothing is as nothing does, nothing. So sit back, relax, and try to forget about that demon who watches you masturbate. OH, BTW, he knows what you masturbate to. And he doesn't like it. Not one bit!
Still other kikes killed him for a reason, tried to make him look bad around the world
>An executed prophet? Yeah right
and still, the whole world listened to his words, and his name was told on all continents on earth. Europe became grat under his wing, the kikes got so butthurt on that that even to this day they sacrifice christian children as payback

Guilt isn't something you can disown, It's bound to responsibility. What you're talking about being free of is shame.
not the same thing at all
Brandon Young
Being "Born Again" means that I accepted Christ and was forgiven for all my prior sins and degeneracies, and I started to do my best to live the Christian life.
In a sense, I was a different person and thus "born again" with a fresh start.
You're correct in that we dont believe in being reborn on earth, etc.
Interesting. As it was explained to me, the Orthodox fast for inner control and concentration, not so much to "beat (themselves) up"
Jackson Adams
It's a stupid figure of speech that we as Christians shouldn't support.

It wasnt hard, just took a lot of practice. I was super shy and lame at first, and got rejected by dozens of girls. Luckily, I had planned on this and went to a bar that was PACKED all night with fresh girls 3 nights a week, so I didnt really care. As fast as I was getting shot down, there were infinite new girls to approach.
Eventually I got the hang of it.
Theres no reason you guys cant do it too, famalam.

Good for you, user

I'm Catholic myself, so I know that the environment is always welcoming. You shouldn't worry about going to mass and asking the priest questions because that's what they're here for! :) Just don't partake in the communion while observing the mass (this is similar for the Orthodox divine liturgy, I believe). After you receive the sacraments, you'll be able to participate in this beautiful event.

"Similarly we also, who by His will have been called in Christ Jesus, are not justified by ourselves, or our own wisdom or understanding or godliness, nor by such deeds as we have done in holiness of heart, but by that faith through which Almighty God has justified all men since the beginning of time. Glory be to Him, forever and ever, Amen." - St. Clement of Rome (Letter to the Corinthians, par. 32)
"Human beings can be saved from the ancient serpent in no other way than by believing in him who, when he was raised up from the earth on the tree of martyrdom in the likeness of sinful flesh, drew all things to himself and gave life to the dead." - Irenaeus (Against the Heresies, IV, 2, 7).
"Indeed, this is the perfect and complete glorification of God, when one does not exult in his own righteousness, but recognizing oneself as lacking true righteousness to be justified by faith alone in Christ." - St. Basil the Great (Homily on Humility, PG 31.532; TFoTC vol. 9, p. 479)
"For you believe the faith; why then do you add other things, as if faith were not sufficient to justify? You make yourselves captive, and you subject yourself to the law." - St. John Chrysostom (Epistle to Titus, Homily 3, PG 62.651)

Wow cherrypicking to change the meaning of texts must be the national sport of protestants and the devil. >claiming Ireaneus was a faith alone lutheran That's it, I have heard it all now. I suggest you ACTUALLY read their writings instead of copy pasting "reformed ministries" or whatever other heretic you got those misleading quotes. Btw those quotes are perfectly in tune with Catholic doctrine, but you are reading them through your man-made protestant tradition and you don't even catch your cognitive dissonance in interpreting them.
I am on my phone btw so don't expect me to argue with a heretic. I have no sympathy for oblivious retard that STILL fall prey to cheap jewish propaganda created in the 16th century and aimed at illiterate farmers

If you're feeling called, do it. One bad pope shouldn't change your stance on the Church, brother. After all, we're imperfect humans. We've had 266 popes and there's bound to be a few bad ones. You'll notice that the Church has never deviated from the correct path, even today. Pope Francis' words are twisted a lot by the media, but he ultimately means well. No doctrines have been changed or will be changed.

HAHAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT YOU FUCKING FAGGOT
You actually CONVERTED to Christianity as an adult? Of your own volition? Hahahahaha fucking cuck faggot
At least most of the Christcucks on Sup Forums have the excuse of
>"My parents just coincidentally happened to raise me a Christian, therefore that religion is the right one!"
But you?
You needed friends and acceptance so badly that you took the initiative yourself and willingly cucked your pagan ancestors.
You worship a brown-skinned Jew.
You follow a book written by Jews to turn Gentiles into slaves.
You follow the religion that tortured and butchered your ancestors and systematically destroyed their sacred, ancient pagan traditions.
You worthless fucking cuck, you should be ashamed of yourself. I would spit in your fucking face if I saw you, Jew-worshipping Christian dog.
It would be one thing if you Christians had the consideration to keep your sickness to yourselves, but the fact hat you push your pathetic, Abrahamic weakling cult on other whites as somehow a "white tradition" is what makes you true race traitors, deserving of the rope.
You are too cowardly to accept that your faggot dad picked the wrong religion, that you worshipped a false idol your whole life, that it was all for nothing. Instead of facing the truth with courage and choosing a different path, you cling to delusion like pathetic cowards, and try to push it in others.

I'm trying to find god. I've made great changes to my being over the past half year: >quit video games, just some rocket league for a few minutes every other night or so >finished bachelor's in college >got fit, weight lifting is main hobby >mastered nutrition. No drugs/drinks.
The porn addiction is hard to kick though and I recall often hearing about people kicking this addiction when finding god.
I was raised in protestant churches (lutheran, baptist) and my parents are currently trying to convert to judaism. They are scorned catholics but I recall being a happy christian when I was small attending a lutheran church and becoming extremely depressed when we swapped to a baptist church. I think catholicism is appealing to me, partly because I'm spanish too so I yearn for the cultural connection.
Any catholic bros around? Would it be possible to beseech god somehow to help through nofap and noporn as my new years resolution? How does one begin exploring the catholic faith?
Do I have to accept the bloody pope?
Also I've been thinking of getting a study bible, I have one from when I was baptist but I want to look elsewhere of course.
Thank you to anyone that read through my post.

I remember I stopped reading it when Moses was describing the temple the hebrews were building, I read like 50 pages of small details like "And then we put some shells, with some candles and other fag ornaments"
Julian Sanders
I don't have an Orthodox Church, technically, just a mission. Priest can't provide proof that the mission can sustain his salary independently (most of the church-goers are military, so they rotate out every few years), so the status cannot be upgrade to a church. Great community, though.
Like , my church does not expect you to fast, but they do put out the information and I enjoy it. It's a non-arduous form of self-denial and I always feel pretty good when I get to the end of a fasting period.
