I've been wondering about this for a while; growing up Catholic and studying how terrible it is, I'm now a recent convert to Protestantism. However, I find it hard to choose the proper Branch off church to follow and pick for a community to participate in.
I've gone to an evangelical church and saw too many entranced old people with blank stares with a couple hipster teens standing around.
I don't get it, where has Protestantism gone, it's true form. Not these pseudo-Protestant divisions that are basically cults for Preachers and the Church structure, rather than the Lord.
In your experience, which branch off most truly sticks to the heart of Protestantism in seeing Jesus as the prime ideal, based on the New Testament for the betterment of all people?
It has always been controlled opposition to Catholicism. Both of them are false doctrines, put out by the ruling class to pacify us. A corpse on a cross. Really? Look at the animals of nature to see God's true beliefs.

"The sun is for scriptures, The sun is for pleasures, The sun is for faith, The sun is the christ The sun to god is pleasing."
Did i translate it right?
Connor Bennett
"By Scripture Alone, By Grace Alone, By Faith Alone, Through Christ Alone, Glory to God Alone."
No.
These are the Solae of the Reformation.
Kevin Turner
Ah, its "soli" that threw me. It appears as Solus, Sola, and Soli. Couldnt figure out if it was a noun because i didnt notice the declension it would be in.
Zachary Clark
Are you a protestant?

i don't understand. is this thread about Christianity or protestantism?

Christianity | Protestantism || Catholicism
^ About Protestantism. Why do you think Christianity and Protestantism are two different things?
Andrew Wood
I am an atheist and determinist. I was raised protestant, southern baptist. Sunday school and all. While personally I deny gods existance, I also believe that the church plays an integral part in the structure of communities.
Owen Wilson
Bapticostal. I pretty much agree with the salvation doctrine of Steven Anderson, and the charismatics like Todd White.
I want a mix of the two, tbqh. I do attend Independent Baptist KJV only churches.
Hudson Nelson
They don't exist. Close the door. Read the scriptures. Wait for the world to end. It's closer than you think.
Christianity had to die in order for the apocalypse to happen. And it has died in the corporal sense.
No church is gonna tell you that.
Gabriel Nelson
God's existence is engrained in the fabric of your psychology, he's more real than anything you can conceptualize.
The materialist viewpoint is so incomplete it baffles me how people still think it makes any sense; it completely contradicts itself over and over
Lincoln Howard
Damn......I will keep searching, or form my own damn community and convert Christians to true protestant belief and to truly following Christ over evangelists
Gabriel Brown
Tell me about the Orthodox Faith I'm a Catholic but have not been a practicing religions person for years until recently - I have become disillusioned with the religion (pope, family being shitters, etc.) I've been interested in getting into a more traditional christianity. I'm not familiar with converting from different denomination. I should mention that I have been baptized as a baby, gone through first communion, and confirmation
Juan Price
Going to add to this, modern Christianity is a meme. It died intellectually decades ago, now its just writhing in death throes waiting for Christ to come and put it out of its misery.
Ryder Diaz
Are you lost? is over there. I don't know how you people keep making this mistake.
Aiden Jenkins
Let Christ teach you. Read the New Testament, live by the Five Solae. Let no one beside Scripture, God, and Christ tell you what to think.
Living the model of the teachings of Christ is a powerful journey of Sacrifice and discovery. You must find it within you and by Christ.
That's the crucial part of Faith; it's difficult, therefore truly virtuous.
Short answer: Read the teachings of Christ and understand scripture.
Aaron Bell
This is the salvation doctrine according to the Bible, which is why the Catholics burned the real Christians for daring to read the Bible. The pope is not scriptural, in fact the pope is an antichrist by definition. youtu.be/4OoZ2iv7zPc

Thanks for sharing brother.

Ian Kelly
the Trinity isn't scriptural sola scriptura isn't scriptural
Gavin Reed
I do however think he's twisting some aspects of belief in Christ. As in saying Belief is pure subjective belief alone, that which grants you salvation. I think the scripture details more into saying that true belief in the acts of Christ are to follow in his footsteps, thus removing "Murder and other horrible sins on earth" out of the equation entirely. If you claim to believe in Christ, even in your heart of hearts, but your superficial belief wasn't strong enough to follow Christ, you had no belief to begin with, you just fooled yourself into thinking that, therefore Christ never knew you.
Parker Stewart
Why are you so obsessed with this? You can still disagree with someone but you can't use that as an excuse to be dismissive of everything they preach.
Adam Fisher
There is only ONE true, catholic, and apostolic church. Remember those words?
>I've been interested in getting into a more traditional christianity. If the church seems lost to you perhaps try a Tridentine mass (latin mass), There's usually at least one parish in any given area that performs it.

Fair enough. At the moment I don't identify with one single variant. I just stick to Christ and scripture above all.

I think I take Religion extremely seriously for its impact on human nature. I'm just convinced scripture God and Christ are most important.
Jordan Cook
kek I find it humorous that you've gone to the effort of saving all this evidence while you're half a world away. Yet I literally live 15 minutes from his church and I've never been there once. For what it's worth I agree with you Poland, his condolence of race mixing is disgusting, but he does have some good points on other issues. Have a critical mind and learn to separate the good from the bad.
i believe that only the book of revelations matters. its that just as valid?
Jack Lopez
I ask you this.
What works did the theif on the cross do?
Salvation is salvation. Trust in the completed work of Christ on the cross. Now if you continue in sin you will not lose salvation, but you will lose rewards in the kingdom to come.
Scripture says we will rule and reign with Christ for 1000 years on earth. Jesus will rule with an iron rod fron Jerusalem, and then the devil will be loosed from Hell one last time before being cast into Hell forever. How much work you do for the Lord after you are saved will determine the amount of responsibility Jesus will put in you in the 1000 year kingdom.
>Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Jews who reject grace I believe will be made to bow down to us after we are changed in the twinkle of an eye in the rapture and made to be christlike.
>9And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Jason Martin
>leaving the Catholic Church >ever
I don't even know. If you absolutely need to leave the Church don't go with Protestant heretics. Go with Orthodox. Or Coptic. One of the old church branches.
You should really start here though youtu.be/y-RAyIJ0tNo You probably know a lot of this stuff, but its organized very well.

>11For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 12Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
>13Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. 14We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 15Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 16Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 20For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 21Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. 22And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
>23And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 24And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
I hope burning in Hell forever was part of your plan.

How are you going to fully understand a book written 2000 years if you are not first familiar with: 1) the culture of the people that wrote it 2) all the languages the book went through and the cultures of each of those societies 3) all the discussions surrounding the book itself. From the early christian schisms to the great east-west schism.
You cant just grab the bible and read it, its a terrible way of trying to understand the true word of God. Trying to do that is paradoxically, submitting yourself to the interpretation of the people that came before you.
Oliver Hall
This earth was made to be destroyed. I don't give a single Fuck about it other than the souls that need to be saved who live upon it.
You must be a very sad man. 4 billion women on this planet and you can't reproduce with a single one of them. Log off your computer and live for Christ before it's too late. I am planning on going soul winning Saturday morning and I have never felt more alive.
Lucas Bennett
I've chosen to study the New Testament as the authority for modeling a virtuous life and as the best source for getting closer to God. This is because of two things, the reconciliation of Science and God through Evolutionary psychology, and a real grasp of the reasoning and metaphysical justifications upon which the enlightenment and values of the Western World were built on. And that I'd through the reformation in decentralized admiration for Christ, the ultimate meta hero and Lord.
Luis Rivera
I think /christian/ or r/religion would be more to your liking. Why the fuck are you even here? Is this an organised raid or just christcucks can't help but push their noses where they don't belong?

I think Christian faith built the pillars of Western Society, and trying to ignore that results in horrible secular politics and the destruction of the social fabric necessary for good Nations.

Is it alright to join a random Baptist Church one of who's members handed me a flyer? The flyer makes it seem like they're definitely not tremendous cucks but some of the supernatural stuff seems kind of hard to leap into (heaven, hell, imaging God to be something that can hear prayers). Baptist churches are the only churches I see in my area that aren't black churches or mexian cathedrals.
Gabriel Garcia
It is. Rome was rampant with homosexuality and even took control of Christianity in order to control the masses and preserved the text in exclusively Latin so that they could control what got out about Christ

Polnigger, you don't get how this whole Christian thing works do you? This world was meant to be destroyed, by sitting here jacking off over these (you)'s, you are fulfilling God's work, by mocking Christians you are fulfilling exactly what God said you were gong to do, you are still in his servitude, you are just on the other side of it.
