Ask a Christian anything

Ask a Christian anything.

what made you believe?

Why don't you seek forgiveness of the one true God? Asking as a Jew.

Do you believe in apostolic succession?

I was pretty much born believing
He's cool too. I'll hit him up, next
Do whut, now?

Apostolic Succession. The belief that the Apostles had successors, like when Matthias was chosen to take Judas' place. The chain of succession continues to the current day.

are you posting because of a vow of silence? because the vow also means you can't type.

how does it feels to be the fastest dying religion?

Seems plausible

Implying not all gentiles should just stfu and serf jews already

Why can no post images, Jesus?

From another Christian (Catholic in my way)

When will we take arms again and march to take the Holy Land?

What do you think about custom churches like cowboy church, biker church, lgbt church?

How are you doing?

Farces and an insult

are you a christian?

Could be better

Are you aware of the fact that you're going to hell by browsing this decadent pedophile immoral shithole also known as Sup Forums?

Yessir

How does it feel to cuck yourself to woodworking kike?

Sup Forums IS Hell, my friend

Exactly, by browsing Sup Forums you're choosing hell

I wouldn't know

Why do you still feel the need to swear everlasting fealty to an invisible sky man who doesn't exist?

You watch too much "The Simpsons"

What's your age?
Do you still think to be a christian if you pass the age of 15?

Between 10-80
Sure

Nah, i was being a bit mean, I was a christian untill the age of 15, after that i became an atheist. But if being a christian makes you happy, go for it user.

You don't know too much "English" or anything at all for that matter. That's your argument for the existence of God? The Simpsons?

We're all born atheist, that's our nature, then your culture and society indoctrinates you to believe in the religion represented by your culture... You're born in america, you'll be christian, you're born in Israel, you'll be a zionist jew, you're born in Palestine, you'll be muslim.
Seriously people, use your head, there's not true religions, all books are written by complete psychopaths to manipulate the weak minded.

l.
The Catholic school was very welcoming, nobody really hated on anyybody. whereas highschool was Hell. Much like Sup Forums.

crusade when ?

Your response is full on spite and anger. Unwitty, much?

Hey, im for it.

If you are Christian, what doctrine do you follow?

i.e. Catholic, Orthodox, Baptist, Pentecostal, Episcopalian, etc...?

If you are one that claims non-denominational, then what is your doctrine originated from (one of the churches above, etc)??

Im not here to argue with armchair athiests like 1st year philosophy students. "Grandpa in sky due due dur"

I'm... I guess a non-practicing Catholic, as I don't attend regular mass. I think Mormons are nice peeps, as well.

A follow up question..

Which Liturgical Rite of the Catholic Church have you learned your doctrine from?

i.e. Latin, Alexandrian, Antiochian etc...?


Meh, Mormans are not monotheistic. They believe in Many gods, 1 for each universe.

>Born into it
Im not suprise

why do you pray to jesus instead of god?

Do you think the end times are starting to get a little boring?

OK - all my Christian friends say God knows what is going to happen, and things that do happen are God's plan. Then they say he sacrificed his only son Jesus. Well if Jesus is in Heaven with God, how did he sacrifice him, and if he knows all and all is part of his plan, how did he risk Jesus when he just knew he was coming back to him anyway.

???
The one part of a hierarchy, I think, with a regular preist, and a bishop who makes occasional appearances. Sorry for my ignorance

...

Christ said nobody gets to God but through him

Great. Argue your position then.

I don't believe us, or our great grandchildren will see the endtimes

Let me reitterate. I was baptised as a Christian as an infant

Why hasn’t Jesus ever answered my prayers or spoken to me in a dream?

Not here to argue. Aruging with an athiest is like arguing with a brick wall.

Jesus, like God, works in mysterious ways. Dont look for the answer, keep him in your daily life and heart, and the answer will come.

I see, well your church that is Catholic (greek Katholikos meaning Universal) is an umbrella of many Liturgical Rites or Churches. Bishop of Rome aka Vicar of Christ aka Pope is the head of this Universal (aka Catholic) Church which is an umbrella of many churches. 2000 years ago, Jesus appointed and renamed Saul as Peter (greek Petras meaning Rock) to which made him the rock/pope/leader of this church. The other 12 disciples spanned out across the world spreading the word creating different liturgical rites.

These are:
Latin liturgical tradition:

Alexandrian liturgical tradition:
Coptic Catholic Church

Antiochian liturgical tradition:
Maronite Church
Syrian Catholic Church
Syro-Malankara Catholic Church
Armenian liturgical tradition:

It’s been 37 years. Still kissless virgin, life isn’t worth living.

Why does God allow natural disasters like volcanoes and hurricanes to exist and kill people?

Have you tried asking girls out?

Because he is God.
You will never fathom his reasoning.

Just be grateful he gave you the very same air you breath. Don't be a punk kid with skydaddy issues

Because people shouldn't live so close to them. Simple.

Latin church I think

Nice circular logic. You didn't actually even attempt to answer the question instead you avoided altogether.

>I was pretty much born believing

Nope. You were born atheist just like everyone else. Then someone lied to you.

Yes I’m am ugly and awkward though. I also get uncontrollable erections when I can smell a girl. They think I’m a creep.

Yes

You need to put yourself out there. The girl I loved I made a video of nutty stuff, before YouTubers were making videos of nutty stuff.

Let me try rephrashing it and see if you can give me a different answer.

If God is supposedly benevolent then why would he create a world in which violent unpredictable occurrences happen and bring harm to it's populace?

That soemone could be you. You'll never know.

Do you think god took pleasure in inpregnating Marry

That just shows a healthy libido and testosterone level, my friend.

Cause free will. Why build a trailer park in a tornado zone?

Why build a town next to an active volcano? It's just tempting mathematical odds.

Imagine this situation:
You're born in a distant place, like a cabin in a forest... Your family never mention any form of religion.
Do you really think you'd magically and randomly think to yourself "Wow, i think there's a God, his messenger is called Jesus, etc, etc, etc..."
If you really believe that, you're delusional.
Every society has their own religion, and every person born in that society will believe in that God,

Not sexual kind, if that's what your implying

>I also get uncontrollable erections when I can smell a girl.
I'm actually pretty animal myself, the smell of a wild pussy makes my dick diamonds and makes sex a lot better.

What do you think of the preachers Joel Osteen and Joyce Meyer?

Ok. What if you get struck by lightning? What then are you not supposed to go outside? What if a meteor hit the earth? Why would God make all of this violent shit that would bring harm to humans if he cares about them? How does an avoidable disaster have anything to do with freewill?

I'm not well-versed on either, actually debating looking into Joel Osteen to see what the hubbub is all about.

I'm assuming he's the Billy Graham for this generation.

Again, mathematical odds. You could get hit by a car, struck by lightening, etc. It's probability. The odds are slim.

One does not go outside for fear of with of these, it's fear put into your mind.

how does god get up in the morning?

Osteen, and I think Meyer, are both Prosperity Gospelists. That movement effectively believes that if you assume God will bless you, you will receive them; name it, and claim it. I believe that this is flawed and anti-scriptural. They often take verses out of the larger context of the passages they are from, in order for it to sound good and comfortable, for a more comfort-based Christianity. Prosperity Gospel has no relevance in places such as India, China, and various Asian and African countries, for example, where the majority of Christians are poor and persecuted. Prosperity Gospel is a falsehood that is the result of too comfortable living in the West.

There are sound judgments, then there are irrational ones.

For example "I don't want to go to the skate park cause that shady gang is gonna beat my ass again"

Or "I don't wanna go outside cause I might get struck my lightening"

Do you support trump?

Sounds like hes invariably capitalizing on capitalism

pentecostal christian here.

OP what drives you to keep on being a christian?

Not OP, but I am a christian and I do support Trump

how did u get dubs

Also not OP. I support most of what Trump is going for, if the execution is sometimes flawed.

Why do you pray to the cross when the Bible never states Jesus was nailed to a cross rather a stake and it's a known pagan symbol that predates Christianity.

do christians link bitcoin? If yes then join new crypto pump discord

Kek but when he does fuck up its the funniest shit ever

I don't support his overuse of social media. Social media used by actors and politicians often comes off as immature, ala "he's gay" "no he's gay" type posts.

He's a buisnesman, not a "man of the people". But I'm Canadian. I'm fed biased info.

I thought what he did in the Texas flood was boss, though.

what did i see when i got into a near death experience?

i had a seizure driving home hitting into a tree. i saw a bright light and a few blonde haired girls. it caused me to have a brain injury and a wheelchair.

if you is christian do you post on a shitty porn board?

I think you need to look into the fact our brain contains dmt. You hallucinated and you need to look into stem cells.

*why do

Why tf are you on Sup Forums?

A good Christian would never support a person of that character, nor would they let that support tarnish the message of Christians by making them all look like hateful, self righteous morons.

I see many social media athiests getting their jimmies rustled just at the thought of Christianity. I wonder, can't they live, and let live? Sure, it brings in the money, but it's overused.

Also, I'd like to think there's more to life than what our "super" brains can fathom.

The greatest people I've met are active Christians. I can feel the love, warmth, and understanding, just being around them.

Most of the people on Sup Forums are probably Christian, doofus

I once died overdosing on opioids.
I was resting in bed when this happened, i saw my dead body like a mirror, welll... That's what i thought.
I was confused as fuck, i thought to myself "I couldn't fell sleep in front of a mirror since my eyes are closed" I saw my body and room with absolute clarity, then i woke up with my heart beating like a beast and my breath gasping for aire like if i was drowned.
That's when i stopped using opioids.
The movie "Enter the void" summed up pretty well this experience.
You see everything, but you don't fell in despair, and you don't think things like you usually do with your brain, it's like you interpretate everything without really thinking.

dOofUs

If you're serious, even some other religions (I read on quara) believe that at death, a soul goes through a detoxing phase to cleanse one of negativity one has endured by life.

Unbelievably, it's a hypothesis I used to think as a child...

No questions, just wanted to say
Stay strong in Christ brother, keep spreading the truth of the true gospel. You're doing great things for the immoral godless btards even though they dont know it yet.
