Christianity General - Everyone's Welcome Edition

This is just a friendly reminder that (((they))) despise Jesus; and Christian society - which is why (((they))) actively seek to undermine and destroy it - pic very related.

One of the many things I love about being a born-again Christian, is that we, as a culture are against (((degeneracy))) as a people.
When I go church, I see happy, loving, functional families. Many of them are quite large, with a good number of kids.

The children are polite and well behaved.
The men have a driving force in their lives, beyond the material things that society latches onto. Many of them are well traveled, and most are well read on Christianity and history.

The women are wholesome, many are devoted wives/mothers, and instead of dressing like... You know... They're tastefully dressed. Most of them wear dresses and head scarves (Orthodox).

Its comfy as can be.

Welcome everyone, here in /CG/ the Christianons of the board enjoy eachothers fellowship, discuss any and all possible subjects about the Church and the Faith, and answer any questions that those interested in our Religion, the one true religion, might have.
Whats on your mind tonight, my brethren?

I agree Christianity is socially useful but c'mon m8, religion is for dumb people, or very smart people who aren't even believers, but actively delude themselves because of latter point.

Nice Reddit spacing retard.

You and me both! Although my Church's service is English with about a 30% Russian congregation. I hope the insense is dank and the chants surreal.

Do you know whats interesting? Many "traditional" Churches are growing in size and popularity. My church is like 90% Converts from other religions/denominations.

Is it your first time? If so, I really hope it goes well for you. I was raised lightly protestant until I became an Athiest around age 9. I lived that way until about a year ago when I became disenfranchised with (((society))) and started looking towards my Christian friends and assossiates with curious respect instead of contempt. I visited an Orthodox church for the first time last November and they welcomed me in and I've been going ever since.

see pic related.

Everyone always parrots this, but it just plain and simple isnt something I've seen in real life. My church has a huge library and many in the congregation are total redpilled history buffs. A lot of them speak multiple languages and have traveled much of the world.

We're Educated, the ones who claim mental superiority over the well studied Christian are (((Educated))).

>tfw can't wait to go to mass tomorrow

I got some questions:

I have heard about this thing called a fallen world. What is that all about?

Does god change? Has he? Will he in the future?

So they fall into second category. I'm not against Christianity, I just find it hard to believe.

Why didn't you fags tell me about these trad Christian channels before? This stuff is great
youtu.be/fBETZPLXIXs

Jesus was way cool.

We need an orthodox Hezbollah. You guys think Russia would give us funding?

>tfw Church is actually pretty based
>tfw Cartoons that you (I) watched growing up were a lie

I'll reply to this after dinner, if one of my brothers here doesnt first. Welcome, my friend!

The only one I really know of is "Orthodox Sermons" which is one of my favorite channels on YouTube. Please guys, lets all share channels/etc that we watch and enjoy!

seculars gravitate toward liberal views which are derivative of christian thinkers

That's a pretty big subject, but to put it briefly, we're born into this (fallen) world with original sin, which is overcome through Christ

Modernity rejected that idea and people like Locke put forth the concept of Tabula Rasa (blank slate), meaning that evil is taught to people - of course we disagree and think that was ultimately damaging to society

If I am a filthy non-baptized adult, can I join the catholic church and be forgiven? I legit want to

I'm talking sins like sex before marriage etc, just sexual stuff really.

OH please. Everyone knows most happy go lucky, Christian families, aren't. Dad is probably an alcoholic, abusive. Mom likes to fantasize about a different life. Son is a closet fag, but is suicidal because dad is an asshole, and daughter is probably a whore due to a weird "daddy" complex she has. Probably giving the pastor/priest hand jobs. What a fucking joke.

>Fat and full of excuses general
You worship a kike on a stick

You described the average degenerate American family post Sexual Revolution, has nothing to do with Christianity

Isn't the idea of Christianity that everybody is able to be redeemed?

What you guys think of this?

Except it does you stupid fucking redneck.

How so? Also not an American, I'm a first gen immigrant

>Tfw level 4 and not even an official catholic

I really need to do RCIA and get baptised

The whole point of Christianity is that "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God", so don't feel like you're irredeemable, on the contrary you're in good company! Unfortunately, since "the wages of sin are death" the whole lot of us are damned to hell. Thankfully, though, "while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" and from Christ's death and subsequent Resurrection, "if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

Come and be saved.

Anons
Few questions (am a conservative, average Catholic)
>Which denomination is the most true to God
>How do I go about reading the Bible
>How do I memorize the holy rosary
>Tips on how to learn Latin?
Also, is it bad if I wish to become more faithful but don't believe in God right now? I've been baptised and confirmed. Sorry for all the questions, I'd appreciate if someone helped.

The idea is the following. This is called the Nicene Creed, its the statement of our beliefs, my church and many others sing it every Sunday! The wisdom that comes from the bible and the fellowship and love our church families are extras.

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, the maker of heaven and earth, of things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the begotten of God the Father, the Only-begotten, that is of the essence of the Father.

God of God, Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten and not made; of the very same nature of the Father, by Whom all things came into being, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible.

Who for us humanity and for our salvation came down from heaven, was incarnate, was made human, was born perfectly of the holy virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit.

By whom He took body, soul, and mind, and everything that is in man, truly and not in semblance.

He suffered, was crucified, was buried, rose again on the third day, ascended into heaven with the same body, [and] sat at the right hand of the Father.

He is to come with the same body and with the glory of the Father, to judge the living and the dead; of His kingdom there is no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, in the uncreated and the perfect; Who spoke through the Law, prophets, and Gospels; Who came down upon the Jordan, preached through the apostles, and lived in the saints.

We believe also in only One, Universal, Apostolic, and [Holy] Church; in one baptism in repentance, for the remission, and forgiveness of sins; and in the resurrection of the dead, in the everlasting judgement of souls and bodies, and the Kingdom of Heaven and in the everlasting life

Bump for watch this goddamn.

saved!

kek same, but Orthodox.

Realizing that god is real, was probably the most pleasureful moment of my life. It was a euphoric feeling I've only had twice, once during a protestant church service that I unexpectadly found myself at, another time after my rebirth while studying forgiveness and trying to get past things that happened earlier on in my life. I genuinly believe that anyone here lurking with interest will find this, if they're seeking it.

Hi there!
>Orthodox - of course I'm a little biased hah. We can trace our lineage directly back to Jesus' original apostles, and have carried on traditions for ~2,000 years in a row. Pic very related

> Dont know anything about the rosary, personally. I hope one of our Catholic anons will help you with this! Same with Latin. I dont think its used that often within Christendom outside of the Catholic church...

Thinking about faith - no, dont feel bad! We all have these moments user, this is why faith is important. If you mention this to your priest - if you have one - or any local priest to you, if you dont - he will be able to help you with your feelings and likely recommend reading material to help you understand what you're going through. user, there is a book called "Beginning To Pray" by Anthony Bloom that I really enjoyed, and it discusses not only the aforementioned but also teaches a lot about how god works - and works through us - and how he reveals himself to us. Its semi-on topic for your question, but perhaps it would help you. I pray that you will find what you're looking for, and we're all here to talk with you and discuss this to the best of our abilities.

Catholics aren't Christian

Revelation 2
8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Revelation 3
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
9 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.

1 John 2:22-23
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

John 8
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God

Romans 2
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

>tfw scared to go to hell bc i have sex with my long term gf, who intend to marry

what do /CG/? I try to be a good man!

Jesus - our God separated once for the rest of history in this universe the power of man from the power of God.

Mark 12:17
Jesus then said, “Render(give back/return) to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God
what belongs to God.” - from original greek.

Then our God Jesus said to love your enemy:

Luke 6:27-30
But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. To the one who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other [cheek]. If someone takes away your cloak, do not refuse your coat as well. Give to anyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.
^ again from original Greek as close as possible to present English.

See God did not say go and terrorize people with theology - God said that secularism is not bad, but be an example in the world - even if people around you don't accept theology of Christianity they will accept the way of life, the new mind - the mind of Christ.

State is not our enemy, it's our power as man, God separated its power from Divine power - what we have is ours and we can make better with the mind of Christ, all of us together on the scale of the globe.

God brought us a great weapon He lifted our mind.

Matthew 3:11
I indeed baptize you in water for metanoia [changing one's mind], but he who comes after me is more powerful than I, and I am not worthy to carry his sandals! He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and with fire.

Matthew 4:17
From that time on, Jesus began to preach and to say, “Metanoia! [ Chane your mind ] For the
Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”

Acts 17:30
Since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divinity is like gold, silver, or stone, engraved by human art and imagination. In the past, God overlooked such ignorance, but now, he commands that all people everywhere should metanoia

All these messages in Greek are congruent, and I hope you got them.

Ending:

1 Corinthians 2:16
“Truly, who has known the mind of the Lord to [be in position to] instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ!

>tfw can't stop lusting after women

everywhere I look there are hot women and I can't stop staring at their asses and fantasizing about splitting open like a grapefruit, then I end up jerking off after my wife goes to sleep even if we had sex 20mins before

Hello orthodox pol welcome to the true redpill.
how can we convert east asia to the true faith?

By biblical law you're already married to her. Any subsequent partners will mean you've committed adultery and refusing to take her as your wife will be considered adultery.

Marry her, and make many solid, Christian children with her. We're supposed to be Sexual creatures, its all in how we use it. The above, I believe, is how god wants us to use this gift.

Pray to the Lord to be thankful with what you have, and to focus on the good, and to resist temptation. Also, I found that while I'm not perfect, quitting watching porn greatly reduced my demented thoughts, if you havent already...

Good Evening my Greek Brother!

Thats a good question. There is some Christian presence in China, Japan and Korea but its small, unfortunately. There are a lot of bright minds on this board, any ideas, guys? I'm a mere layman myself and I know little of spreading the faith. Maybe the internet, and in/on threads just like this, is the way of the future? Pic very related

Pastitsios posting on Sup Forums you gotta be fuckin kidding me this guy is a complete joke here in greece, it's the equivelant of those pastors who do exorcisms on christian masses while people going apeshit running around and in the meanwhile a band is playing on the background

I love Jesus, guys. Such a smart dude.

>rock of ages left for me

You need baptism, full immersion as is possible. You begin from here and take catechism, it is the only way if you want to do it

I had an experience like this on pol after reading of these ideas. Someone was flaming me with obscenities for something I posted and I faced him down with a firm but response, without returning the curses. And I've no doubt it humbled him. Turning the other cheek has more to do with standing your ground and being unaffected by the evil of another than any kind of weakness.

wow you have done great work! It surprises me how faithful and patriotic people in america are i wish it was the same for europe

Challenging all Protestants to tell me why they no longer observe the fourth commandment. Answer either of these questions:

1. Why do you think the Sabbath was changed to the first day of the week (Sunday)?

2. Why do you think Christians are no longer obligated to obey the fourth commandment?

Catholics, I already know your reason why:

>“Perhaps the boldest thing, the most revolutionary change the Church ever did, happened in the first century. The holy day, the Sabbath, was changed from Saturday to Sunday. ‘The day of the Lord’ was chosen, not from any direction noted in the Scriptures, but from the (Catholic) Church’s sense of its own power…People who think that the Scriptures should be the sole authority, should logically become 7th Day Adventists, and keep Saturday holy.” — St. Catherine Church Sentinel, Algonac, Michigan, May 21, 1995.

It's the overly pious Greeks that use his prophecies to comfort everyone that the great Socialist in the sky is going to hand degenerate Greeks everything they dream of while they sit in the cafebars smoking cigarettes and drinking frappes. Don't hate on the Athonites, they give up the comforts of the world for our survival

>You need baptism, full immersion as is possible

muh stupid ritual

Glory be to god, I'm just a goy on pol, my friend :) Thats not actually my image, I'm one of the converts in it, tho. But I ask, to anyone here who has it in them to keep these going, to do so.

Ultimately, we all live in a fallen world. Many of us dont know what is real and what is not in this world, we're wrestling with internal turmoil and deeply in need of the spirit of truth and the love of based Jesus and the guidance of the bible and the Holy Spirit.

And many of us find hope, fellowship and knowledge in these threads, of all places. I'd really like to see CG threads run on here 7 days a week. Theres usually a Catholic General thread but I really think we need a welcoming place for all pious Christians. Will you guys help me with this? We all say that we want to live in a Christian society/world.

This is our chance to be the change that we want to see.

What do you mean? I'll can only assume you are an underaged hit and run one poster, but your post amounts to nothing. Muslim "immigrant" I would guess

>fellowship
Not that I represent this at all but yes, this is the most valuable thing about CGs that I've seen through the years and it wins the most among pol/acks. Doctrine or aggression doesn't come close. Even as heterodox we may be together, what we face from without is good reason to thrive despite our differences. Be well, all

Anyone got that pol christian discord link they could share?

Mark 3:1-6
>Another time Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. 2 Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. 3 Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand up in front of everyone.”
>4 Then Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent.
>5 He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. 6 Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.

>complete joke here in greece
Except hes

Except hes not*

Fuck you faggot. Heretics and schismatics will hang on the day of the rope.

Yes. The takeaway from that verse is that it's lawful to do good on the Sabbath. The Pharisees had perverted what was lawful to do on the Sabbath and had made it a burden instead of a blessing.

That verse is not an indication that Jesus didn't keep the Sabbath, but that he understood Sabbath-keeping better than them.

I've willingly sinned against God because of lust (masterbation) how can I be redeemed?

Thank-you. Im trying to be a Christian again. This passage has a lot of relevance to me.

Repent and be baptized if you haven't already.

>whom I intend to marry
Marry her, go to confession, not necessarily in that order. You'll be fine. St. Augustine fathered a child outside marriage.

I have a "NIV" bible. How do I start reading it?

Christanons, i need your help. Do any of you know any good resources for how to be socially successful/attractive within a Catholic perspective? I have browsed some of Dalrock's blog, but I would be curious to know if there are any similar redpill/pua/courtship resources from a Catholic perspective. Learning about s#%t tests really helped to raise my awareness of social dynamics, as did my learning about hypergamy, but I am opposed to 'spinning plates' and am wary of 'dread game'. Thank you and God bless.

I'm slowly getting into Christianity lads, we're in uncertain times.

kys shill. not politics

Praised by our Lord & saviour Jesus Christ

fucking idiots the original church created by Yahshua was the catholic, what it is today is not what it was. It has been subverted long ago. It's up to us in these generals to find a way to form groups to preach the real Torah and erase the mistranslations in almost, if not every, english written bible.

Baptism does not forgive sins

It washes them away, but only with repentance.

how does one repent pls tell us.

No. Forgiveness is attained by faith alone.

>Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:38

I despise Christianity Christians and Jesus, Christianity elevates Jews to a posiation where they gtant goyim.dogs rights, my ancestors religion is not false nor are the Jews greater than they.

i like Christianity too, and most religions. Buddhism is another top tier religion ^-^

>And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
