Protestants, Catholics, Orthodox, Coptic, Anglicans... all are welcome. But please, try to keep the discussion civilized.
Non-believers are encouraged to participate, but please refrain from ad hominem attacks or retarded "CHECKMATE CHRISTFAGS" tier statements.
Not welcome: atheist shitposters, Christ-hating kikes, arguments without any basis in Scripture, theology, or history
Here's a good topic for discussion: where do you stand on the Papal primacy? Does Matthew 16:18 refer specifically to Peter, or were all the Apostles considered the "rock" of the Church?
I'll bump periodically with images of Christian artwork and architecture,and also useless infographics for those who wish to read up on theology and spirituality.

Cannot hate Christians since having pretty much same values despite of being an atheist. Just stop being so submissive before muslims ffs.

I'm torn on the issue. On one hand, we have passages like : >“The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; the God of my strength, in Him I will trust, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my Savior, You save me from violence.” But we're also told to treat the enemy with humility, and to not worry about this life: >But I say to you not to resist evil: but if one strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other
God bless you all for trying so hard to spread the Word.

You guys ever read houllebecque? Atheism is doomed because it doesn't promote propagation of the species. The future belongs to monotheism, but unfortunately Islam is the only current religion that doesn't suffer atheists.

I can never find any good Christian books at the book store. I try to read the Imitation of Christ from sacred-texts, but it's just not as good.

>The future belongs to monotheism, but unfortunately Islam is the only current religion that doesn't suffer atheists. >Implying it has anything to do with suffering a suicidal belief system
In terms of birth rates conservative religious > liberally religious > atheists. Christians on average (most of them in Europe being fairweather Christians with zero interest in the faith) barely have more children than Muslims. Muslims, even in Europe, routinely pump out four children per family.
Christianity might survive in Europe in the same way it survived in the Balkans: as Dhimmi's, with high perversion rates to Islam due to systematic oppression.
tl;dr: Post-modernism.

No, it isn't, go to Sup Forums to discuss retarded topics like that.

Brandon Butler
That image perfectly sums up everything that is wrong with Christianity and other religions that pander to poor and miserable people.
The prospect of greater reward in heaven over earthly virtue for its own sake is a doctrine only the ignoble could honestly follow, for they do not know any better.
Jose Anderson
Has nothing to do with being triggered. Has everything to do with not being a Sup Forumstier topic. Discussing the meaning of some bible verse is as offtopic as discussing the meaning of some quran verse.
You Christfags don't have any place but Sup Forums on Sup Forums. Discuss your religious bullshit there.

>newfag outed
See here's the thing, if you had been around for long, you would know that the christian threads popping up constantly is a new situation.
For years there was MAYBE a handful of christian threads per month, and they were usually all made by the same name/avatarfag, so they were quite distinctive.
Even your insults are telling people to go back to a place that has not existed for very long in relation to Sup Forums.
You might be able to grift a few fellow newcomers into thinking that your hebrew demon means a damn to a board that exists to resist jewry, but you're not fooling anybody who matters.
Cooper Hughes
I completely agree, but this thread is especially cancer. OP literally asks "Does Matthew 16:18 refer specifically to Peter". This is as offboard as can be. OP tries to turn Sup Forums into some kind of Christfaggy chatroom.

he guys i was hoping you might be able to help me here. i was born in a fucking mormon familly, but my parents became atheists when i was 14, have been an atheist until i got redpilled. now i have no official religious affiliaten, and i feel the urge to change that, due to me living in the catholic bavaria, catholicism was the most obvious choice, im not entirely sure if catholicism is really the best choice because of cuck franziskus. also, wouldnt it seem kinda weird if i would just out of nowhere go to the Catholic church to get baptised, all my friends went through all the fucking rituals during their chieldhood, i dont really feel like doing all of that stuff (communion, ect.)
Cooper Sanders
No friend, I suggest you convert the the one true and noble religion, Islam. Only do this if you truly mean it though, Allah punishes those with false faith.
Christians and Jews are one in the same, it even says so in the Holy Quran:
[5.51] O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.

The way I see it, Matthew 5:39 is in the context of Matthew 5:38, which is to take a complete stance against revenge
Basically, do what is just and righteous, never purely for yourself and never for personal revenge or to personally avenge God
Ecclesiastes 7:17 speaks firmly against suicide just for the sake of suicide, if it can be at all prevented by acting

I would like to hear an expand on the previous, while I dont believe in Papal primacy based on the fact that Paul dominated Peter in the Actsm the MTh 16 still reamains unclear, as well as many other things in Synoptical gospels like Hell that is currently UNDER THE EARTH (lk 16).
I cant deny the fact that Johns gospel seems far more logical and theologically superios to Synoptical Gospels

Why do you care about Francis? He will step down eventually, it's too much for the old man with such weak life view. Catholic here, like idc about this current pope, catholics I know are serious people and good people. Don't let one cuckold change your views because that makes you a cuckold instead make sure to strengthen your views and make sure no one undermines it. God bless you, hope you will find your way even if it won't be Catholicism.
Josiah Garcia
>Here's a good topic for discussion: where do you stand on the Papal primacy? Does Matthew 16:18 refer specifically to Peter, or were all the Apostles considered the "rock" of the Church?
1Co 10:4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.
St. John Chrysostom often said that the Peter/Rock entendre was to signify that the Church was built on the strength of Peter's confession, not Peter himself. "It is upon Peter's confession of Christ as the true Son of God that the Church is immovably built."
It is also worth nothing that the powers to bind and loose were also given to all of the apostles two chapters later. Mt 18:18 “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
If the pope were to rejoin the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church he would have a role similar to what the Ecumenical Patriarch has now.
Hey wolfshiem, I've question to you. Related to my post here. I don't really share world view with Francis and tend to disregard his opinion most of the time, sometimes I agree with him though. Anyway, does that make me less Catholic? I try to be a good Catholic and I'm proud of it but his shit sometimes really annoys me, especially how he's sucking ahmeds cock and wouldn't take that Christians family because he found out they were Christians. Why is undermining our faith?

Adam Harris
>Anyway, does that make me less Catholic?
I wouldn't say that you are in any way less Catholic but depending how you disregard him it could be of poor character. Despite his views, he is a man taught and lived in the faith and has much wisdom to say because of it. While I find some of his judgements based on poorly understood facts, it's improper to disregard him without seriously considering his argument or claims as he could be right and still teach us something.

Arguments, generally, for divine conservation. That's a little more than just intervening though.

I found my qf like this Bro. Went to church and constantly seen the same girl, asked her how she is and what's her name and that's how it kicked off. Lovely being with a girl that shares similar views.
Asher Robinson
Russian Orthodox here. I like the values that the church teaches but the holier than though attitudes of some parishioners get to me. They develop this preachy attitude towards anyone who doesn't get up to their spiritual level that it pushes me away from wanting to attend services. I still believe and attempt to be a good person but it really drives a wedge when they start quoting some random passage they memorized and expect you to know and live by.
Kayden Wilson
>Here's a good topic for discussion: where do you stand on the Papal primacy? Does Matthew 16:18 refer specifically to Peter, or were all the Apostles considered the "rock" of the Church?
I'm Catholic, devout one, I even try sometimes to evangelize people beside internet discussion, fun stuff really, so it's pretty sure that I agree for papal primacy. Bishop of Rome always been the last instance in the matter of faith. Like once St. Augustine said "Roma locuta; causa finita est". Also, it's really the last thing that divide Church.
Parker Rivera
I don't know m8, I didn't make it. Catholic (Latin Rite) and Eastern Orthodox (Byzantine Rite) have the best art and architecture in my opinion.
I'm particularly fond of Latin Rite Catholic Churches that still use old Roman style architecture instead of Gothic. They're usually made of brick or stone like a Roman Catholic church you'd expect, but they usually have rounded domes like you'd see in Byzantine architecture. I wish I had an example to show you.
