This thread is your daily reminder that nothing, and I mean nothing in this life matters...

This thread is your daily reminder that nothing, and I mean nothing in this life matters, other than reconciling yourself with God and conforming to His will.

This should not sound restraining or oppressive. God has given us so much, our lives, our families, our food, everything! Literally everything we have that is good, comes from God; who is Goodness itself. As an example of this generosity and love, God gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, as a sacrifice for our sins.

This knowledge has never been more important than it is right now. Look around you, open your eyes, satanic forces are at work; and there is more wickedness and evil in the western world today than there was in Sodom!

Look at what has resulted from our abandonment of God. His Just chastisement is upon us, so we must attempt with all our souls to reconcile ourselves to Him.

We have tried it on our own. We need God. We need the Church. I assure you, the life God has planned for you on this earth, and in the life to come, will be infinitely more fulfilling and glorious than any humanistic, self-willed pipe dream that will most likely bring you hardship.

Resist the devil, recognise your enemy. And recognise your friend and saviour: Jesus Christ.

God bless you.

>In nomine Patris et Fili et Spiritu Sancti. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace.
Our Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Pretty sure you're the same OP from the previous thread, can you prove that Jesus wasn't a leftist. Can you also prove that Jesus was a nationalist (at least patriotic) and that he was pro government? If you can, then I'll convert to Christianity.

Stop worshipping women, heretic

God, give me hope.

We don't worship her, we venerate her to pray for us for she is closer to God than we are.

Still need proof of a Creator?

Chemtrails are demonic. When you see a plane in the sky spraying those chemtrails, you can pray and make them lose their power. Get to recognize the different type of chemtrails planes and how you can protect yourself from these demons.

I had a streak of 30 days+ nofap and i caved today, I am disgusted with myself

Jesus is the Son of God. Far above any petty humanistic concepts. However, socialism has been condemned by the Catholic Church from its inception. And nationalism has been largely supported, as God Himself created the nations. God confused the languages and seperated people at the Tower of Babel. The EU is a rebuilding of the Tower of Babel, biblical stuff.

And therefore the name thereof was called Babel, because there the language of the whole earth was confounded: and from thence the Lord scattered them abroad upon the face of all countries.
And so the Lord scattered them from that place into all lands, and they ceased to build the city.
Come ye, therefore, let us go down, and there confound their tongue, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
And he said: Behold, it is one people, and all have one tongue: and they have begun to do this, neither will they leave off from their designs, till they accomplish them in deed.

>Pic related is a advertisement for the EU. Clearly depicting the Tower of Babel. The EU headquarters is also made in the fashion of the Tower of Babel. Coincidence? NO. These things are driven by spiritual entities.

Move on. Celibacy or "nofap" is inevitable. You literally just live your life and forget about a "streak". It just happens. God bless. You have discovered one of the most life changing pursuits you could imagine, rejoice!

...

Also, remember nofap isn't about restraining your hands. It's about achieving "chastity of the mind" by restraining your eyes.

Avoid lustful images with your eyes, literally look away, and your mind will gradually move away from lust, thus making nofap easier.

>nothing in this life matters,
This is one of the big problems with you christcucks. "Nothing matters except muh JEBUS". Fuck off and die.
>God has given us so much
No, he hasn't because he isn't real.
Christianity is inherently antinationalist.

Wrong on all counts.

Eternity is all that truly matters. If you're going hell, nothing in life matters more than changing that. After that, of course temporal things matter, but they pale in comparison to eternity, as this life is so short.

You're deluded if you think all of these interdependent, beautifully designed, precisely ordered systems created themselves out of nothing, by accident. There is a God and you will meet Him one day.

No Christianity is not anti-nationalist. It is anti-communist/anti-globalist though. You're mistaking Protestantism which is a modern devolution as true Christianity. Catholicism and orthodoxy are authentic expressions of Christianity.

My bet is on both

Why does a merciful and all loving God send people to hell for believing in the wrong brand of Christianity?

>Eternity is all that truly matters
No, it doesn't because iy isn't real. Imaginary things matter infinitely less than real things.
>No Christianity is not anti-nationalist
Yes, it is. How could you accept the foreign gordes ad your "brothers in Christ" and want to keep them out?

People choose hell by rejecting God. All goodness is Gods anyway, so whatever good people do is ultimately from Him. Therefore the false argument "but they are good people" doesn't hold water. The people in hell will be 100% evil, like the devil. Because the goodness they once had in some form is gone from them, because it is only there because God is here. God is not in hell, therefore there is no good. There is no goodness or anything to be sorry for in the damned. The damned damn themselves through obstinance, pride, and indifference.

I've already failed and had cream in my coffee this morning. My fasting on Friday always suffers.

Same. I haven't fasted on Fridays for awhile. I am going to sort that out.

Fuck yourself faggot.

Amen.

I hear the hippie argument from liberals/atheists who try to make Jesus a socialist/marxist. He wasn't. Jesus obviously didn't fight and conquer countries. That wasn't his purpose. The main purpose of Christ was to bring grace, faith and salvation to people. However, next time he comes, there will be a great reckoning.

"Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure." Psal. 2

'Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken... Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle." Zec. 14

"For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch... And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts." Mal. 4

"And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords." Rev. 19

TL;DR atheicucks are fucked.

So I can accept Mormon God and Jesus and have the same chance of going to heaven as a Catholic as long as I don't commit obstinance, pride, and indifference?

I wonder how much it matters in the eyes of the Lord Father. Probably not much, but it's also not really about that. I guess it's about be actively aware in your relationship with Jesus and his Holy Spirit in you as fulfillment.

First of all, I am not God, so I cannot say for sure who can and cannot be saved. Secondly, you boiling down salvation to the three dispositions I mentioned is disingenuous. Third, we will be judged by our knowledge. I believe if people are genuinely mislead, God will have mercy on them. However, Mormonism is a demonstrably demonic sect. Those people who cling to it, contrary to the apostles, church fathers, and saints; are clearly obstinate and prideful. Not to mention, where you have falsehood, you also have much sin and wickedness. Mormons have multiple wives for example, in direct rebellion to the dictate of God.

Again: "if this good person is just a Mormon will he still be send to hell???" This argument is bunk. People are only good in as far as they are graced with goodness from God. You don't have "good people". You have people who are inclined to evil, who can become justified and holy through the grace of God. So in short, trying to say a persons only sin is that they are Mormon is ridiculous. We all have many sins and are all worthy of hell for them. It is only by Gods grace that we have even a chance of salvation. We don't deserve it.

I would counter signal that slightly. Even though I have been very bad about fasting. Jesus said His followers would fast, like it was not an option. I also believe luxury, especially that of comfortable living causes much wickedness. I have seen it in my own life. Also, the Church proscribes fasting as something nessisary for salvation. At least, I'm pretty sure it's one of the church's commandments?

So let's both firmly resolve to fast on Fridays bro! We can do it. I would also say for me at least it is best to not eat at all, other than water, rather than eating a little bit. Eating little just makes you excruciatingly hungry in my opinion. Whereas total fasting seems to eliminate hunger after a while.

God bless

Any of a protestant, fundy bent in here? Watch some Bart D Ehrman, he'll make it all make sense.

youtube.com/user/bartdehrman

He's a gentle guy, was a fundy preacher, not bitter or anything, but an expert in New Testament scholarship. All those little niggling inconsistencies, like why Mark (earliest written) is rough and fast, and John (last written) is polished and fully theological, eg.

Did you know that according to internal evidence, Paul wrote only about half of his epistles? Everyone was writing things and attributing them to someone else in those days.

Sup Forums is a Christian board.

Ew

New Testament = LARP

Or maybe there is a third option you may not want to ackowledge.

'Even a cursory reading of the New Testament will reveal that the Catholic Church does not have its origin in the teachings of Jesus or His apostles. In the New Testament, there is no mention of the papacy, worship/adoration of Mary (or the immaculate conception of Mary, the perpetual virginity of Mary, the assumption of Mary, or Mary as co-redemptrix and mediatrix), petitioning saints in heaven for their prayers, apostolic succession, the ordinances of the church functioning as sacraments, infant baptism, confession of sin to a priest, purgatory, indulgences, or the equal authority of church tradition and Scripture. '

Amen. May God bless you and everyone

If your picture doesn't ring true today....

What makes you think the Christain god exists?

You are delusional if you think this matters.

Why did Christ give the apostles the power to not only forgive sin but to choose not to forgive it?

Amen, Christ be with you user.

Heavens not my kinda place anyway

The Catholic Church gave you the bible in the 3rd century. Jesus Christ or the apostles didn't have the New Testament, what did they do? They passed down an oral tradition from Jesus Christ.

Also, where in the bible does it say that the bible alone is the source of Christian knowledge?

You made me reply

>superstition is more important than blood
I would kill every one of you traitors if I could.
Faith, man, you just gotta believe.

The world obviously has a creator, can we agree on this? Once this is agreed, the Christian God is literally the only option. There is no other religion like Chrisianity, we literally count years from the day Jesus was born! Over the whole world. There are countless proofs that the Christian religion is true... From miracles, ridiculously accurate prophecy in the bible, observing how Jesus Christ is hated by the world, slandered by the devil, looking at the fruits of Christianity, and what happens when you take that away, prayer, etc...

Praise Jesus! Hallelujah!

By his Grace alone am I saved. Not by my actions, but by his blood! He died for my sins, washed me clean as snow. Thank you, Lord.

My God is an awesome God, he reigns on heaven and earth.

9 Exalt the Lord our God,
and worship at his holy mountain;
for the Lord our God is holy!

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

'Only God can forgive sins, and Christ, being God, has the power to do so as well, but He never communicated any such power to His disciples, nor did they ever assume any such power to themselves. The key to understanding the meaning of John 20:23 lies in the previous two verses: “Again Jesus said, ‘Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.’ And with that he breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.’” He sent them, as He is sending us, to bring the good news of the way to salvation and heaven to the whole world. Jesus was leaving the earth physically but promised God would be with them in the person of the Holy Spirit living in them. As they proclaimed the gospel, they could honestly tell people who believed in that message that their sins were forgiven, and they could honestly tell people that did not believe in the message that their sins were not forgiven and that they stand condemned in God’s eyes. Jesus said, “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him” (John 3:36). '

The catholic church did not give me anything, the bible is Gods word.


The bible is either 1 of two things and 1 of two things only. It is either the word of God, or it is not. If it is the word of God the words and practices and traditions of men come second in importance. If it is not the word of God you may as well throw it out all together.

13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee [1] of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, [2] to the praise of his glory.

Matthew 18:1-3
At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Pater Noster, qui es in caelis,
Sanctificetur nomen tuum;
Adveniat regnum tuum,
Fiat voluntas tuas, sicut in caelo et in terra.

Et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
Sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris;
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem
Sed libera nos a malo. Amen

1 Corinthians 3:1-2
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

Gotta give protestants credit for the way they can twist something so plain to fit what they want it to mean instead.

Matthew 6:19-21
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

James 1:2-4
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

The early church, men who learned from the apostles, believed in confession to priests. And they did not believe in faith alone either. Why don't you just read the early Christians?

taylormarshall.com/2010/10/did-church-fathers-teach-justification.html

James 1:12
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Proverbs 3:13
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

Psalms 11:7
For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

Isaiah 5:21
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

2 Timothy 3:1-5
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

You act as if calling everyone who disagrees with you a protestant and then closing your ears and screaming will make the arguments untrue.

I am not a protestant btw.

>STILL WORSHIPPING A DEAD KIKE ON A STICK

1 Peter 2:11-12
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

Are proddies worse than atheists?

1 Samuel 12:24
Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.

>the bible is the word of God

Here's the problem with that statement. While I believe that many parts are sanctioned by God, it was transcribed by man. Man has free will. Man could add or omit whatever they felt like. If they wanted to push their own political agenda or beliefs back then, what better way than to put it in the bible and claim "God told me to write it".

Hebrews 2:18
For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

Calling that an argument is almost as much of a reach as the "interpretation" itself.

Isaiah 29:15
Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

Mark 6:12
And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

>let's roleplay as a mentally unstable Christian sliding the thread
yeah my mistake you're an atheist

Mark 16:14-16
Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

John 14:23
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

As ive said before The bible is either 1 of two things and 1 of two things only. It is either the word of God, or it is not. If it is the word of God the words and practices and traditions of men come second in importance. If it is not the word of God you may as well throw it out all together.

The idea that anything in conjunction with faith is needed for salvation is unbiblical. Christianity is not a religion of works. Even our BEST works are like filthy rags before the father.

Isiah 64:6

But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Men are keeping her as the ideal mother to inspire women to become that ideal. Look at what is the ideal woman/mother currently.

>If it is the word of God the words and practices and traditions of men come second in importance
Only if the Bible is the ONLY word of God.

Nowhere have you proved that.

Yes

Worse, an atheist who converted to mentally unstable Christianity through the blood atonement of Christ Jesus. In Him I am saved. Not by anything I've done, only by faith in him and his Grace.

A perfect sacrifice requires nothing from me but belief, the only action I can take without acting.

Amen.

God decided to use man to put his words on paper, thats it.

Ephesians 6:17-18
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

God Bless you, brothers.

Good thread OP. Amen.
I don't have anything against you catholics. I'm just worried for you since you worship Mary as a co-redeemer with Christ.
ONLY JESUS can save. Not Mary. Mary had no part in the redemption of mankind.
Still I love you my catholic brothers and sisters. No one is perfect and we're one in Christ.

If you're so nihilistic, why should blood matter?

...

It says in the bible that faith without works is dead. So therefore faith alone is redundant. I'm not saying the bible is not the word of God, it is. All Catholics believe it is, and all Catholics believe it is inerrant, meaning without error.

What we point out however, is that "sola Fide" and "sola Scriptura" are recent Protestant errors. They are down to incorrect interpretation of the bible and they divorce one from tradition, which is absolutely vital to correct understanding of the word of God.

All Protestants disagree on everything, why is this? Because they do not look to the early Christians, or "tradition", and they falsely label all tradition as bad. Which is absolute folly as doing so is actually falling into tradition itself. You follow the heretical traditions of Martin Luther. Catholics follow the traditions of the church fathers, apostles, and saints.

You really believe faith in Jesus Christ alone saves? What about a unrepentant murderer, who believes Jesus is Lord; will he be saved? What about Satan? He believes Jesus Christ is Lord; will he be saved? Faith is just one part. You need faith for salvation, but you also need works. Which is why Jesus said multiple times; "follow the commandments", "follow MY commandments", "sin no more" etc...

Frankly, everyone deserves to go to Hell; however, it is by grace of God that anyone can be saved. You have to want it though. Give yourself to the world and you'll have you reward there.

What do I do to join the Catholic church if I've been baptized but never confirmed? My mother wanted me to make my own choice about joining the church once I got older and I want to be confirmed but I feel like there is so much I don't know about how everything works.

Will i even be able to find a church in the NYC area that isnt some 2017 liberal bastardization of the faith or one that even has mass in english?

I'm very lost but lately ive been feeling like this is something i need to reconcile in my life.

It's a symbol of his death and resurrection for our sins.

We cannot save ourselves. Not by our works, but through faith alone in the atonement of Jesus Christ can we be saved.

Believe and be saved.

You're misinformed. We're not praying to Marry for redemption through Her. We're praying to Her so she brings forth bidding to Jesus.

>haven't even heard of the no-fap movement
and who said atheists were smart?

So now we are shifting the goal posts here, the original thing in question was which to trust more. The traditions of men or the bible, which can be answered easily by saying 'if the bible is Gods word, we are to trust Gods word.'

Are you now claiming the bible is NOT Gods word? If so why keep any of it at all? Just throw it out.
