I'm not posting myself in this shithole

not until the church gets a new pope.

He kisses Islamic feet while the oldest churches in the world were destroyed, and I'm not talking about buildings.

Nobody wants to see your disgusting brown forehead anyway. Stupid fruit picking spic.

you didnt have to say that.

pagan filth

Shut up u heretic shill

screw you, Papist

your Antichrist will fall

I'm sorry OP, I'm 100% orthodox Christian and first time I did not go through service and ritual for ash Wednesday. I will observe Lent though.

Not me because I'm not a Papist heathen

This Catholics are satanic fags

Sadly could not :( The family wasn't down to go and the only mass available was in Spanish.
Get the fuck out nigger. The pope may suck but the church is the church you protestant fuck.

Where does it say in the bible to do this?

STOP KISSING NIGGER FEET

If i were a pope i would put you all in line and let the sucking commence

I did not, but I also don't believe that is you in the picture.

why do you put ashes on your forehead?

Disregard Pope, the position is unfounded and hypocrisy and the current man the bouncer from Argentina is antichrist.

Look its the Catholic vicar of Christ and he has Tyrone's foot in his mouth!

Would have but fucking college prof decided to move tomorrow night's class to tonight so the snowflakes here could ask questions and shit since we have the next section of a big semester long project due tomorrow.

It's a public university, of course.

Because they worship Satan.

that would explain why I saw an old man with shit on his face today. I am glad I resisted to urge to mention it to him now.

CHECK 'EM

My ashes are in my smoker. Made some delicious smoked chicken for dinner.

>being this shit at theology
He is trying to be one of those "one with Jesus" Jesuit types. Doesn't disqualify him as pope.

WRONG, it's just a ceremony/reminder that we all die, from dust to dust, ashes to ashes. Don't make up lies user, no.

why

Show me in the bible where Jesus sucked nigger toes please

I got my ashes today

Seriously how much of Sup Forums is Catholic and why? Arent Catholics the jews of Christianity?
>t. atheist

Looks gay as fuck.

>i beleive in god so hard not only do i need to virtue signal all day at work but also on a laoition basket weaving forum.

Fuck off catholicuck go worship the pope and pray to saints.

I was afraid to go so I didn't. Am not baptized yet and don't really know anyone at church yet

Also I thought this was a catholic thing? A bunch of Protestants on my normiebook are talking about it and posting ash pics

>mfw eating fish for supper

Catholics are idolaters, that's against gods commandments.
If you aren't worshiping god then there's only one other being you can be worshiping

The mark of the Beast?!?!? YES PLEASE!

>I'm not posting myself in this shithole
Language. This is a Christian board.

What is this "Ash Wednesday"

The Pope is distorting the Bible just like the politicians distort Christianity to make it a 1.6 billion money making scheme. I'm a Christian by the way. The Vatican used to actually be noble in the fight against Islam, not anymore.

Fish isn't meat apparently, at least according to some faggo- I mean Catholics.

I get that part, but why the forehead?

the cross is not the mark of the beast, i believe it's a symbol of christ conquering death

>mfw cucktholics

"And when you fast, don’t make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get."

Freaking me out. All these weirdos walking around with ooga booga magic symbols on their head. Glazed over eyes too. Scary.

Top fucking Kek.

Pretty much. Hey jesus eas a pretty cool dude. And a creator exists.

But catholocism is a roman invention to control slaves. They literally break half the comandments. They pray to saints for fucks sake. Literal witchcraft

I'm Catholic in the "universal" meaning of the word but definitely not Roman Catholic. They are sorta paganous and are so corrupt and distorting.

fuck your primitive pagan superstitious rituals

>it's just symbolic

literally nothing in Catholicism is "just symbolic"

aww cmon be nice

Ass Wednesday. you can ass rape your wife/gf and there's nothing they can do about it.

Only other place they could put it was on the right hand.

Fuck you faggot. I worship myself.

>anglicans

absolutely disgusting

unfortunately, photoshopped.

No. It is just a thing that cool kids who say they are Chrisitan like to do before going back to live out their degenerate lives.

Me

why?

I couldn't find a Jew in time...

I don't know why the forehead, it just is. Ash Wednesday is a part of Christian life, it teaches Christian dogma that we don't have much time on earth. And on top of that we are called to 40 days of Lent which after that is JESUS'S sacrifice on the cross to save HUMANITY and salvation is free, not through works. Many people including Roman Catholics don't get this.

"Virtue signalling"

Absolutely no where.
This is the problem. Too many man made traditions.The line between doctrine and tradition for the average person becomes unclear.

I skipped church and ate burgers.

>It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,

biblehub.com/revelation/13-16.htm

Also known as worshiping Satan.
If your worship isn't going to God then it automatically goes to the other guy, that's how this shit works.

>I don't know why the forehead, it just is.

all right

Alright Sup Forums, Lent began today! What are you giving up?

>fapping

fruit pickin spics that got no bants detected

I can still give up porn for 40 days, but lets get real...

you're going to hell

oh look it's a Protestants are ignorant of European history, culture, and religion thread

>there are people itt who don't believe in evolution
>there are people itt who believe Jewish OT myths literally happened
>there are people ITT who think they know better than the early church fathers and the apostles

>the bible is the only source of authority

Sola Scriptura was unknown doctrine up until Luther invented it 1500 years after the death and Resurrection of Christ

Sacred Tradition, Sacred Magesterium, and Sacred Scripture are the three sources

Did Christianity not exist for the first 350 years before the bible was put together by the Catholic Church? Answer me that.

The ashes are supposed to remind you that everyone must die They do this in Japan and India and a lot of other civilizations

Lutheranism is superior to Catholicism.

I had an exam and there was literally a tornado here today.

low quality bants

So glad my brothers are here.
One way. Through Christ. Mary is cool and all but she is not God in the flesh. I can't get to the father through Mary.

I was wrong about you my man, anyone with a non-works based salvation doctrine is okay with me

literally my first time ever hearing about this

Mary is only mentioned 19 times in the bible she is not divine and she is not the intercessor to Christ that is the truth brother.

yeah but catholics just use it as a virtue signal

I, too, have never and will never post a picture of myself on this board.

Same here man, how many weird traditions do these pagans have anyways?

am quitting porn. Put a rosary next to my computer toward that end.

Not sure I can totally give up fapping but I'll try

dunno
didnt even hear about this last year.
Is this something new?

40 days of fasting, one meal a day. I wanna see what Jesus really was about.

i got mine

most people aren't very serious about their faith. Even so, the purpose of ashes isn't to "signal" so much as to bond you with your fellow church members as well as to receive a blessing from the priest.

The Bible doesn't tell you to poo in the loo either, but I think we can all agree that it's a good advice.

Nobody's going to suggest that you're not saved if you don't observe Ash Wednesday, but many people find that observing yearly tradition gives them a deep sense of connection to the historical church and to God's faithfulness to the church over the centuries.

Works is just a side effect to salvation, works is not a means, it's just a result of a good thriving Christian.

I guess I'll post my forehead. I gave up porn and complaining for lent.

>a tripfag talking about idolatry
Fucking pottery. Now kill yourself redditscum

>You come from dust
>You will return to dust
>Catholic church wrote some of the first MEMEs

Orlando Fag here
Drove to Mary Queen of the Universe today
Recieved my Ashes
and communion
Confession will be soon
Doing a 13 day novena for a better job

Remember Matthew 6, OP.

Do not give alms, or fast, or pray in front of others for the sake of being seen. Do not announce your righteousness with trumpets as the hypocrites do, to be seen and honored by others.

Lent is not about vanity. It is not about attention. It is not about praise. It is not something to be splashed on a forum for Mongolian noodle-making enthusiasts.

It is about improving your relationship with God, and finding strength through Him to overcome hunger for food, flesh, or other earthly desires.

If you got ashed today you're basically a fucking heretic pagan.

Jesus preached to not make a public display of your prayer. To pray in private.

The Catholic Church has literally fucked Christianity beyond repair.

There were numerous times in the bible where people donned a sackcloth, smeared ashes on their forehead, and fasted. It was a sign of great mourning, lamentation or depression in ancient jewish culture.

Lent itself came about from older church practices where people looking to convert had to go through a rigorous trial of fasting, giving up sinful practices, and prayer.
Lent is about conversion, or rather, renewing our baptism.

So the ashes smeared on the foehead is a sign of humility and mourning for our own sinfullness, while the lent season is for spiritual development and getting ready for easter.

Man's impermanent nature and return to ashes and dust are part of it too.

I'm not posting but I went with my grandma to the 6 o'clock mass. She wouldn't drive to the SSPX church in Richmond with me so I had to deal with a mulatto baby screaming for half an hour.

I am not sure that people here understand God's love for them and the nature of salvation. So much focus on "the Church" and meaningless outward rituals. Have you ash wearers spoken to Jesus today? Do you understand what salvation is and how to attain it?
