Mormonism of course!

Orthodoxy.

Get over to /christian/ on otherchan and ask this.

This leads to shit like the 'nice' heresy. No.

I guarantee you that you do not understand the Bible.

Catholicism.

lol, are you retarded
every demographic study shows religious people have more kids

Leads to what? I'm not going to read the novel you posted

like all religions, it is just something that people choose to believe to provide comfort to them. Mostly it is an answer to the suffering in life and the fact that a human knows it will die. The concept that life goes on in some form provides purpose to the actions of the human in their life, so they choose to believe to make them feel better. Christianity is no different than any other religion. It's just something humans believe in to add purpose to their lives and the help comfort them from the final and complete annihilation of death.

Best kind of christianity is the one where you dont adhere to dogma like a sheep.

...

Roman Catholic or Orthodox Christian. These two have a continuity right back to Jesus and Apostoles. Some consider Orthodox to be less modernized and therefore better. Start praying every day.

Watch this guy to see how a de facto atheist can become Christian.

...

Instead of picking a denomination like some kind of football team, how about you just read the Bible once over cover to cover and learn God's law directly.

Once you've done that, then you will be in a better place to think about denominations

...

Jesus said to bring those who don't believe him and to slay them in front of him.
If this is weak then what is strong to you? Christianity was the state religion of the British Empire, the greatest achievement mankind could ever conceive.

only problem is that many of the priests in that religion are child molesters and gays.

Why do you guys post this dumb nigger loving slut?

Just because she's aryan doesn't mean she's not a degenerate.

That's pretty fucking interesting user, is there any place I could read more about the bible from this point of view or with the full "context"?

>not knowing otherchan
>not valuing the input of anons who are acknowledged to have contributed good info

LCMS split with ELCA over the issue. LCMS is lutheran orthodox. ECLA is almost as bad as mainline churchs.

Honestly most churches suck now-a-days. I think Church is important but nearly all are cucked. Just read the Bible and study a ton of theology, pics incoming

Was raised calvinist. went through a fedora tipping atheism phase, now finding my way back to the church to deepen my ties to family and heritage. Going to try Catholicism now.

Right Wing politics are concerned with the long-term survival of Civilization

Christianity is only concerned with personal salvation to become part of a nebulous afterlife for which no evidence exists, and for which this world needs to be sacrificed, which is best expressed in the way early christians like Martin of Tours refused to fight enemies of their nations, insofar killing in this world could cost them heaven

When Jesus says "if they take your coat, let them have your shirt as well", "do not resist evil", "I have come to turn a man against his own household", "if you don't hate your self and your own family you can't follow me", "love your enemies, pray for your persecutors", "the meek will inherit the Earth", "those that wanna die will live", "blessed are those the persecuted, for they will be my Kingdom", "do not save treasures for tomorrow", "carry your cross so that you can receive eternal reward", "Sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you'll have treasure in heaven", "it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for the rich to enter Heaven", "Woe to you who are well fed, Woe to you who laugh, for you will mourn and weep"...

... he is not kidding, or meaning the opposite, but actually setting down a morality where the world is a lie and only the afterlife is the real deal, so destroying your life in this world, "carrying your cross" as he says, is completely logical

Sup Forums "christians" seem to believe Jesus actually meant the OPPOSITE of all that, and that Jesus wants you to defend your family, that Jesus wants you to kill your enemies, to become prosperous, well-fed and rich in this world, and to avoid persecution and death!

Orthodoxy is the oldest form of Christianity, it holds to the basics and is also infused with lots of European culture, particularly Greek.

Only a person that does not actually believe in the Heaven for the persecuted, the meek, and the martyred would actually re-interpret Christianity as a cult of earthly power which declares "the strong shall inherit the Earth", "my kingdom is of this world" and "you must destroy the enemies of your nation"

Only some one that just wanna use Christianity as an empty shell devoid of any true religious promises would claim that Paul and Peter misinterpreted Jesus when they submitted to their enemies and died to them while praying for them, instead of fighting the romans back and establishing a crusader kingdom, thing that one would expect them to do if Jesus meant "be a fighter and impose your will on your enemies" when he said "love your enemies and lend all they need to them without expecting anything in return"

But using Christianity as a shell devoid of any religious promises simply allows its poisonous morality to survive into the next generation.

You can tell your children that Jesus wanted them to be earthly warriors because "I didn't come to bring peace", but you can't stop them from reading the rest of the paragraph and realizing what Jesus wanted is for them to put christian morality above the good-being of their own families.

Luther actually wrote nearly the same thing ironically.

you seem like a conformist. catholicism would be perfect for your needs, I think

but just to be careful, when you go to church with your kids, go to a Protestant one so they don't get diddled by priests.

You can tell your children that Jesus wanted them to be earthly warriors because "Buy a sword", but you can't stop them from reading the next chapter and realizing that Jesus stopped Peter from using the sword to fight and defeat the romans, and reprimanded him for misunderstanding, all while asking him to carry his own cross (Peter, fully realizing that Jesus meant all the stuff about embracing death and his kingdom was not of this world, that angelic chariots were not going to slay his enemies and bring him victory, realized he was doomed, and would then deny Jesus 3 times)

You can tell your children that Jesus wanted them to be earthly warriors because ""Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces", but you can't stop them from reading the rest of the paragraph and realizing that Jesus was asking them, not to destroy their enemies, but to not put in risk their own moral position by criticizing others. You may want them to believe that Jesus, in the middle of a speech about not judging other people and sharing, suddenly decided that speak against the muslims that didn't even exist back then!

That is not going to fly.

Sooner or later, your "strict catholic crusader" state will be reformed into liberalism, because the Gospel will still exist, because your children, like Peter, will realize that Jesus meant it when he said "you are to be persecuted and martyred for me", that Jesus didn't say "you will live in a stable and powerful civilization, free of oppresion and death, thanks to me".

If you to /christian/ at 8 chan and just ask about a particular passage then you'll get this treatment (hopefully).

Then why don't you give me a tldr?
ALMOST EVERY SINGLE CHURCH HAS BEEN INFILTRATED BY SATAN
WHY DO YOU THINK THERES SO MUCH FIGHTING BETWEEN DENOMINATIONS? ALL IN SOME WAY TEACH AGAINST THE BIBLE!
ALL HAVE BEEN INFILTRATED BY SATAN

Please don't confuse Christians with Catholics

My buddy invited me to his church, and I went for the last few weeks. I think they are Pentecostal though. Might try out a Baptist church this week.

Catholics aren't Christian

Yes and no.
If you choose to be a Christian you also take on a huge responsibility for your actions. You must not sin. You must repent for sins. You must observe certain things (pray, going to church etc.) in order to fulfill the promise of eternal life.

That's why atheism is so popular. Because it allows you to be as degenerate as you want. So I would say the opposite - it doesn't comfort you. But if you look at stuff objectively nothing but Christianity makes sense - if you believe like most atheists that you're a speck of self aware dust in a dead universe then you are in contradiction with yourself, with your free will. Atheists then say - but we're all just following our biological programming. Again - scientific view doesn't provide any direction to what you should choose in life or how to act, or the conclusion is something along the lines of Nitzsche's übermensch - completely amoral life. It just doesn't make sense to believe in a dead universe and still go about your day in any way, because you live in contradiction - or rather you do not live in accordance to what you BELIEVE but what is convenient and feels good.

^This

You cant believe in a magical sky daddy and also be redpilled. You just have to accept that we dont have all the anwsers, morality & ethics is difficult and we are probably alone on the universe.

Only because I'm feeling charitable.

Basically, it's saying that good (what Jesus taught) does not mean nice, and that intolerance is good, tolerance is cowardice. Too many people today confuse good with nice, hence the reason for the post.

>learn God's law directly
Gospel > law

This.

All churches dont correctly teach proper precepts and why they appy today.

The interpretations based on assumption and "grace"

You must read the bible yourself to understand the world, the only teachers you have is patience and perseverance.

But once you learn the words of god you'll know why things are the way they are.

Also fuck the jews and romans catholics.

Orthodox Christianity. There's even a few Monasteries over in your area now. England was Orthodox until 1066.
orthodox-christianity.org/orthodoxy/countries/greatbritain/gbmonasteries/

OP read mere christianity

Is that why the Vatican complex looks like a giant Snake? On Pope day, it would look like the Snakes belly is gorged on Christian sheep.

mormonism. No, really.

>teach their women to be wives
>teach their men to be men
>high group cohesion
>highest rate of conversion

y not yet?

Do Orthodox believe in salvation by grace alone through faith alone?

>England was Orthodox until 1066.
The Schism was in 1054, but even before then there were many difference between the Latins and the Greeks. England was Latin, never Orthodox in the Greek sense, though they were part of the undivided Orthodox Church before the Schism.

Because it is satanic

No, that's a meme.

>Satanism
How are those sun and moon stones?

In Paris alone there's like 15 orthodox cathedrals including two Russian.
>who's supposed to be my bishop ?

What does this have to do with being a fundamentalist?
If he reads the bible like I said and let Gods word guide him none of this would matter, what society deems nice sometimes conflicts with what God has asked of us and in the end it doesn't matter. One will take you to the path of ruin and damnation one will take you to eternity in the Kingdom of Heaven

Actually Christianity is different than any other religion in that it is the only one where the God is only good.

Islam like Buddhism, Hinduism, Paganism, Zionism and all these other strange believe systems are all from Satan and have Satanic roots.
Ying-and-yang-belief, God is evil, God will hurt you, God is dark and light, good and bad, all this concept comes from Satan.
Not even prophet Muhammed can know if he is saved until the day of judgement.

All major belief-systems say that God is both good and bad except Christianity.


Because "God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all" 1 john 1:5.

"I am the light of the world, whoever walks with me shall always walk in the light and shall never walk in the darkness".
-Jesus Christ

why is this so funny?

/christian/ is polluted with papist decievers

Ok, so why arent people in Scandinavia constantly killing/raping? Why do we have less criminals per capita?

Then Orthodox are a false church

It's because people read the Bible for themselves and don't understand it. They then assume things like the nice heresy.

True, which is why need more non-Catholics.

>All thee faggots going into religion to see which one benefits them the most.
>"Well I mean satans providing me with everything I've ever wanted"
>"all I have to do is worship him, its perfect religion"

What time are we living in, fellow readers in faith, how do you cope?

Blessings to you all.

>says the member of a church that didn't exist before the 18th century

Do you really? How many sodomites do you have? How many adulterers, how many thieves, liars, blasphemers? These are all crimes in the eyes of the Lord

Because genetically you're less impulsive and aggressive. Less testosterone, different brains. It's not religion.

>It's because people read the Bible for themselves and don't understand it

My church was started by Jesus Christ in the 1st Century Anno Domini

Everyone on this board will say Roman Catholicism or Orthodoxy because 90% of them are rootless tourist faggots who were atheist Sup Forumstards until that was no longer edgy and CK2 came out and, because they are autists, they picked the ones with the most rules and memes so they can have sperged purity fights. They have no heritage in the faith and will LARP the next thing that comes along when it's no longer edgy to shitpost about marrying a virgin Stacy and spewing an endless stream of white babbies.

The faggots who tell the loudest about tradition HAVE no tradition in the faith. You said you were Christian before, why not look back into the faith of your youth and heritage? Or you could be a vultfag and base your salvation on autism. I guarantee you there are Greek Orthodox priests all over America wondering where these stuttering suburban fuckups are coming from

I think because we are deceived into believing Gods word is not the truth, the words of the bible are clear as day it is Gods word, but you are judged and shunned by society if you believe it.

BEGOME GADOLIG ::::DDD


Real Church, real recent miracles, universal (won't be surrounded by weird hairy immigrants,) Italian and Irish waifu material everywhere.

>Real Church
False gospel false church

Probably the denomination that actually believes the Bible. Independent Baptist is the only logical choice.

People drift from Prot churches because God is barely even there. Nobody agrees on everything, everyone is a denomination unto themselves, and the services vary wildly one week to next. Some don't even have communion.

Go to a real Church, user. Assuming you're not Russian or Greek, just go Catholic.

Best type of Christianity is Christianity merged with Judaism and Kabbalah. Judaism is to understand Torah, and train your will by following the Law, Kabbalah is a manual how to reveal your own divinity, and New Testament is a success story as an example.

Tnx dude

Public opinion and society does have a big effect. But we seek to change it, that's why we're here.

Put your trust in Jesus Christ, repent of your sins, love the LORD, thy god, love thy neighbor and spread the gospel. Eternal life in Jesus Christ is gods will for all of us and he loves you.

Be a Catholic be saved by worshipping these idols, yes Catholics are saving the world by sending millions to Hell.

Do you actually have proof of this or is this a cuck stereotype?

There are about a billion Prot denominations because once dogma is "if I think I'm right fuck what the Bishop says" everyone is making it up for themselves.

This is true, you can't believe in a magical sky daddy and be redpilled. But that's not how any apostolic faith (catholic, orthodox, Coptic) understand God but except for interpretations meant for children.

>You have to accept...
No

Your eyes have now been opened.

I might reread the my bible and go there regularly from now on. thanks user I hope I can find a better understanding with this.

Romans 4:8
Blessed is the man to whom God will not impute sin
If you commit a venial sin will it be imputed to you? If you commit a mortal sin will it be imputed to you?
If you answered yes to either, you have a different gospel from the apostle paul
Romans 5:1
Therefore, having been justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ
Have you been justified by faith? Do you have peace with God? If you answered no to either of these questions, you have a gospel contrary to the once-for-all delivered to the saints faith.
Try actually reading the article
>But that's not how any apostolic faith
The only apostolic faith is Protestantism
