REMINDER: THIS IS A CHRISTIAN BOARD I won't tell anyone else to leave, but if you don't you should CONVERT
Now that we have that out of the way, we've had one of these the last two nights (or mornings, depending on your location on God's earth.) Let's have another one - after all, three is holy isn't it?
I forgot it was the weekend. Everyone on this side of the pond is either in bed to get up early for church in the morning, or staying up late because there's no school.
Everyone on the other side is already at church and not on Sup Forums. Shame.

>And I saw three unclean spirits that looked like frogs, coming from the mouths of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet. These are demonic spirits that perform signs and go out to all the kings of the earth, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God, the Almighty. Don't worship kek, even ironically.

Daily Reminder: Christian faith did not save the Orthodox who lived in the Russian Empire from the most hideous forms of death after the Jewish Bolsheviks took power in 1917. Jews killed Orthodox Christians like animals. No Jewish messiah can save you from being forced to see your children gutted like pigs by greedy Jews, whose only thought is world domination. Reject Jews. Reject (((Jesus))).

Revelation 16:13
Thank you for the quote from Scripture, brother! If I may, try to cite your verses though, so the curious can investigate for themselves!
David King
But wouldn't it be a good thing to worship them if you aren't christian? Makes the end come faster right?
Connor Price
These threads are very inspiring. Thanks for posting guys. May the Lord bless you all!
Gavin Sanchez
Bumping to trigger more redditors.
Owen Russell
And you too, brother.
Sadly, that's not where all the hate comes from. Although I'm sure absolutely no love comes from there, some of the hate is surely native to this board, and Sup Forums in general.

The sad thing is that people who post this kinda stuff are the same ones succumbing to Jewish propaganda. Oy vey goyim, there is no God, give into degeneracy and watch your people suffer.
Why do you think the Jews slaughtered so many innocent Christians? It's because Christianity is the moral backbone of society, and its absence is a necessary requirement for the existence of Marxism and other plots laid by ((satan)).
Justin Kelly
Also, to actually start discussion, do fellow anons think there is a current resurgence in Christianity, as many young people previously following empty hedonistic lifestyles are coming to realize that they need something more to complete them?
I recently came back to the Church myself at 26, and a few of my other friends in this age group have as well. I'm interested to know if anyone else has noticed anything similar, either in Protestantism or Catholicism/Orthodoxy.
Jace Adams
I've been drifting back and fourth this past year
Anthony Jackson
Yeah, ever since I came on Sup Forums, I've noticed a hell of a lot more cohen-cidences. The more I think about it, the Catholic church is the most pro-life organization on the planet, in the most general sense possible (not just re: abortions) but in terms of promoting the values and behaviours that are maximally beneficial for individuals and collectives. The Jew promotes anti-life ideologies and behaviors like hook-up culture, pornography, usury, and hedonism because they are fundamentally not in the light. Their Talmud is abominable, and their constant lying, manipulating, and scheming is enough to make my blood boil.
For someone who is moving from Protestantism to Catholicism, would the SSPX congregation be a good church to join, or just a regular parish?
Evan Brooks
It's hard to commit. Took a lot for me personally to finally resign myself to God.
Good luck on your spiritual journey user. I'm praying for you. If you have any questions, I'll answer to the best of my ability.
Wyatt Baker
riddle me this Sup Forums how do religous people not get locked up in mental institutions
like if i say aslan from narnia is real and going to resurrect me when i die, thats obviously crazy as fuck
and yet you replace it with the bible and its magically not a mental disorder? nah fuck me yiu are all insane. see help.
Hunter Allen
I've been split between Protestantism and orthodoxy, my mom invited me to her non denominational church a few times, she's an ex Catholic and my dad is a Calvinist. Lately I've been falling back into degenerate habits, I know there's a better way to live though. What branch of Christianity do you follow?
Jaxon Ward
This. I call out Area 11, 911 truthers and pizzagate conspiracy theorists all the fucking time but if they spout some fairy tale and end with "its my religion you must respect my holy book" everyone listening magically shuts up
Carson Taylor
I would start with a regular parish. Getting in too deep too fast is an easy way to burn yourself out.
Also, call a large-ish parish (usually those with schools are good bets for this) and ask to meet with a priest. Explain your situation, I doubt they'll say no. They can answer all your questions and give you a good introduction as a protestant as to what exactly you can expect.
Two years ago I was extremely depressed and abusing drugs, and was contemplating suicide. As a last ditch effort I decided to call and talk to a priest. I had been raised protestant but had been an atheist for almost fifteen years. Well anyway, the man was smart and answered my questions well and we met a few more times and... well my conversion certainly didn't happen over night and a lot of soul searching and prayer went into it, but I finally decided it was what I needed... and now I couldn't be happier.
have another rare pepe for reading my personal anecdote.
Camden Morales
I should say Protestantism and Catholicism, Orthodox seems interesting as well but it's a bit foreign
Matthew Williams
its called do factual research and create your own moral and value system based on philosophy, logic and reason not fairy tales. fucking god damn.

Nicholas Bennett
I chose Catholicism. The traditions are very useful, I don't think sola scriptura is very valid. I still have problems with the veneration of saints and Mary, but hopefully as I progress in my faith I will come to understand it better.

imho Mormonism is best. They are the kindest and most polite ppl i have ever met. If you hate degeneracy you should really join them. They'll make the lifestyle fun and tolerable.

theres quite a few well-known and influential philosophers who gave their hearts to god user. Religious belief and these virtues you extol are not mutually exclusive

follow your religion properly moron you must subscribe to jesus philosophy ( incompatible with actual good philosophy like stoicism ) the ten commandments ( incompatible with reason because you blindly follow rules ) believing in fairy tales ( illogical )

Ill bump the thread OP Its a nice idea but pearls before swine
Caleb Perez
Thanks m8, I gr8ly appreci8. I just went to a Saturday night Vespers at an Orthodox church, and I spent about three hours talking to the priests there, but I still don't feel settled about it. My soul longs for Mozart, and Michelangelo, and Beethoven, and Eastern Orthodoxy seems strange, foreign- even unsettling. I do have some concerns about the Jewphilia, pro-leftism, and questions about some other things, but otherwise I think I'm headed to Rome. I'll pray for you.
Charles Young
religion literally requires faith. That is by definition not logical. its perfectly fine if ppl want to follow a certain religion cause of "tradition" or "comfort" but quit pretending its a rational position.
Adrian Watson
>the ten commandments ( incompatible with reason because you blindly follow rules )
the only thing that makes me think christians are right is that everyone arguing against them is a fucking retard

Theres been one the last couple nights, so I thought I'd try to start it up tonight. But, alas, as I mentioned earlier everyone who may normally participate is probably either sleeping because of church in the morning, or actually in church already

Hunter Rodriguez
religion isn't all about control man. Sometimes it can actually help you with self-actualization.
Also, it's good for some of us to have SOMETHING to follow, rather than just drifting aimlessly and wasting away in degeneracy.
Ethan Morales
Your favourite god is fictional. An un-brainwashed child can easily see through the christian lies before they leave primary school. I offer you this fact to help you to avoid wasting your time and money on a god that does not exist.

My uncle is a Jehovah's Witness. Dude can rattle off Bible verses like nobody else I know. Mad respect if you take it seriously... which most honestly seem to. I'm not saying there are no lukewarm witnesses, but I've never met one.

>the only thing that makes me think christians are right is that everyone arguing against them is a fucking retard
(1 Peter 4:4) Because YOU do not continue running with them in this course to the same low sink of debauchery, they are puzzled and go on speaking abusively of YOU.
(1 Peter 3:16) Hold a good conscience, so that in the particular in which YOU are spoken against they may get ashamed who are speaking slightingly of YOUR good conduct in connection with Christ.

(((Atheists))) don't have morals, you have to pick it up from other people. Guarantee if you isolated a bunch of people with no knowledge of God or His teachings, the degeneracy would be would be more rampant then it was during the Bolshevik era in Russia.
Your comrades are doing just fine proving my point.

Not quite.

Jordan Lewis
jesus philosophy is a weak philosophy for weak people, it just doesnt work and doesnt empower people.
you have no duty or obligations to anyone not even yourself unless you decide otherwise
at best with facts provided you can say "i dont know if religion is correct", that in itself makes it not worth following, because its weak compared to here is my own pragmatic value and morality system that is based on things that work and known facts.
Liam Turner
Oh jesus, someone is reasoning with me about my retarded faith....
f-f-f-f-f-fedora
Angel Kelly
Mate its six in your time how drunk are you
Leo Hernandez
yes some atheists dont have morals because they have decided they are worthless, and some atheists do have morals because they find them valuable. that is the flexibility religion does ot provide. stop lumping people together its more complicated than that.
David Russell
I was raised christian, in my late teens I went HEAVY into religion and studied them all extensively
I found what I believe to be god, its hard to explain but he has been with me for my whole life. I still have doubts and everything, but thats the point of christianity, it sucks you in, either with forgiveness or punishment.
Islam does this on another level, literally 1 day into it and I knew why retards will read like 2 pages of the koran and will be devout to it. Islam is like christianity on crack, but also alot more full of bullshit. I can safely say that Islam holds no gems or anything of value. Even Native American Paganism will benefit one more than islam.
Even atheism and scientology are better than islam on almost all fronts.
Connor Wood
lol this is hardly a discussion, it's a few christfags supporting each other with a couple anecdotes and prolly some prayers while angsty atheists tip their fedoras
but im not gonna sleep anytime soon so i'll stick around for a bit and see where it goes
Isaiah Brooks
The only way to save Western civilization is for society to repent of abandoning Christ.
The only way for society to repent is for Christians to rise up and throw out their pharisaic-cult-loving money-worshiping "leaders" and stop embracing divorce and sexual degeneracy.
Jaxson Garcia
"God is dead" implies that it (whichever god he is referring to) once lived. Clear now?
Jason James
amen
Jordan Fisher
I have read a bit of the koran. Your analysis is good, it is an all-or-nothing faith. it is extremely straightforward and uncompromising. Christianity is layered and multifaceted, though it may not appear so from the outside. I think that is something that gives it strength and appeal.
Levi Barnes
Forgot to include, I continue to convert people to christ even though I do not consider myself part of the religion. I have gotten a pretty decent amount of people to pray and even attend church.
I have to take the long way through the rapture. Hope to see you on the other side.
Daniel Barnes
Yes >Take up the cross and deny yourself >And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away >Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Sounds like the teachings of the weak. Anyways at best you are some pathetic form of existentialist
Jack Rivera
Catholic answers is pretty good for a lot of questions. I'm a new Catholic so I don't have all the answers, but there are bible verses that confirm the truth of saints.
Jeremiah Price
It is true that we are against Blood transfusions for Biblical purposes.
>(Genesis 9:4) Only flesh with its soul—its blood—YOU must not eat.
>(Acts 15:20) but to write them to abstain from things polluted by idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood.
>(Acts 15:29) to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication. If YOU carefully keep yourselves from these things, YOU will prosper. Good health to YOU!”
>(Acts 21:25) As for the believers from among the nations, we have sent out, rendering our decision that they should keep themselves from what is sacrificed to idols as well as from blood and what is strangled and from fornication.”
However, we seek the best bloodless treatment possible. The problem is that a lot of hospitals refuse to give us this treatment because it either: cost them money, are not trained for this, are ignorant on the dangers of blood, or just straight out bias because they see blood transfusions as the "life saving" and even charitable. Refusing charity is a blasphemy to people. As a result, they complicate this while the person is dying. By the time they win the court case to not receive a transfusion it is too late. The problem isn't us, it is the medical industry, we deny them money for demanding safer procedures which they lose money out on. Blood, like Chemo, is a huge Pharmaceutical business. Same argument with cancer patients who demand holistic treatment of their cancers and the medical industry gets mad for refusing their expensive drugs. That is why holistic doctors are getting assasinated across the country for curing cancer.
CONTINUE More if you are willing to understand deeper Bible knowledge....
Good to know, you should take up a Bible study with us sometime.
Jaxson Butler
Literally gave the warning about blood because they couldn't screen for blood borne diseases.

Are you stupid enough to think the quote literally means God (a being who by definition cannot die) is dead
Lucas Wood
Please stop reading this.
Please, get some sleep. You must all be so tired. Have a drink, take a Xanax, get some rest. Log off Sup Forums for a little while, it seems like you've been on for too long now. Have some sleep, I am so tired, I am so sorry but I must sleep now. I am so tired.
Kevin Barnes
you are literally so stupid you cant comprehend what creating your own pragmatic value and morality system that is based on things that work and known facts means, and label it as existentialism.
Justin Hughes
I wholeheartedly intend to. At least in private with my uncle before attending any meetings (or do you guys call it worship? forgive me for being unsure)
Yeah, thanks for the advice man. i've listened to a few of them half-way through, I just usually get distracted by something else before I finish. I'm trying not to dive into this too fast to avoid burning myself out. "All in good time" I tell myself... though I know that's half of an excuse.
Christian Bell
Creation of value for yourself would be an existential pursuit

Carter Bennett
You mad.
Don't be angry at me. I offer you the truth for free.
Be angry at your priest, or your parents, or whoever it was that planted the theism lie in your young mind. Your priest lies to your face, and then passes around the collection plate.
Eli Parker
I literally donate blood every 3 months for free. I work at a hospital and i can assure you hospitals are not making money off blood. it is not a business. Dont demonise the good work hospitals do. There are countless not-for-profit hospitals out there. If you have a biblical objection to accepting blood, the blood is on your god and your priests' hands. Don't push the blame onto hospitals who are saving lives everyday.
Julian Walker
>jesus philosophy is a weak philosophy for weak people, it just doesnt work and doesnt empower people.
Luke 10:21 - In that very hour he became overjoyed in the holy spirit and said: “I publicly praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have carefully hidden these things from wise and intellectual ones, and have revealed them to babes. Yes, O Father, because to do thus came to be the way approved by you.
1 Corinthians 1:27,28 - but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put the wise men to shame; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put the strong things to shame 28 and God chose the ignoble things of the world and the things looked down upon, the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are, 29 in order that no flesh might boast in the sight of God.
