I dedicate this thread to the glory and resurrection of Jesus Christ. All people are welcome here to discuss faith and the gospel among themselves, and the role the teachings of Jesus Christ can play to help shift western culture back towards sustainable values.
This is not a thread to debate atheists, (please tip your fedoras in another thread) or argue the heresy/legitimacy of various Christian churches.
This IS a place to answer questions from open and curious anons who see Christianity as a well worn path out of degeneracy. God loves you (Yes, you.) and wishes success and exaltation on all of his children.
Sup Forums is a powerful place with strong cultural influence, but also a place full of Judgement. I urge Sup Forums users who consider themselves Christian to consider Jesus teachings on judging others before shitposting. Through Christian morals and values, everything Sup Forums stands for and wishes for the world can be achieved. By coming together and making these threads regularly we can shift the negativity of this place and truly turn it into the "path of light!"
Somebody give me some entry level Orthodox literature. I've been raised protestant. I read the Bible, but I'd like to begin seeing it through an Orthodox lens.

Not here today. Thankfully the Namefagging hasn't been so bad. I only Namefag to identify myself as OP.

Thanks for posting these user.

Imagine the holes on Jesus' hand. Now imagine your dick going through those holes. I call it a Holy Handjob LOL
Nathaniel Clark
Mine is too big to fit through a hole made by a nail... I don't know about yours though.
Hunter Ross
God bless you user. I thought I would never feel either human, nor sane, nor caring and hopeful again until I broke down and finally dared to ask Him to return that which I have freely given away ;_;
Be in peace

You know God exists, stop suppressing it, you have a way to escape your judgement

Christianity isn't a "pathway out of degeneracy"
Christianity is a pathway out of Hell, which is a real place that people go to after death.
The end times (Book of Revelation) are coming, and praying to God through Jesus Christ is essential.
>Jesus says, "if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move from here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you" [Matthew 17:20, Luke 17:6]. Jesus promises "it will move" [Matthew 17:20]; "it will be done" [Matthew 21:21]; it "shall come to pass" [Mark 11:23]; and it will "obey you" [Luke 17:6].
Try moving mountains with your prayer, and you might be surprised.
Hudson Robinson
That is the goal to work towards when o e decides to become a christian.
Christ honourably defends His sacrifice to the mournful and grieving Apostles that want to stop Him
Ian Miller
Shouldn't be a problem if the blood acts as a lubricant.

Evan Young
But a people who trust in God, exalt an entire nation
Daniel Ward
>Christianity isn't a "pathway out of degeneracy"
Yes it is. "Degeneracy" is synonymous with sin. Sin brings forth death, and belief and adherence to the teachings of Christ brings everlasting life. Genitals bring forth life. Generations are branches in our family tree. Degeneration is the process of decay and dying. Degeneracy are the actions people make today in our "culture of death."
Adrian Morales
Amen. When a nation pleases God, it is blessed. In those blessings of economic prosperity though, the people tend to forget God and turn to degeneracy. And so God judges the nation until it either collapses on itself or is conquered by another nation that previously only had the strength of a water flea.
This is the way all great nations have risen and fallen.
Dominic White
it is, and is your destination lest you repent and put your trust in christ
Luke Young
turn to Kek before its too late
Logan Miller
Jesus is a hoax and bible was composed over 300 years of politicing. You are so stupid.
Ryan Williams
Sin is a transgression against God
degeneracy is a transgression against your society

Kek isn't the true god; he is but demon. A demon brought here to steer you far away from Christ.
Jeremiah Stewart
not really, church fathers had a canon in the early second century, concil of nicea was about orthodoxy vs arianism
Jaxson Martin
May the Lord our God bless you all and keep you. Ive been growing in his ways, and they are good. The king has called me for something big. Im unsure and bitter about it. Would you all pray for this user? Ill pray for you in return.
Alexander Moore
>all gospels written by jews >its ade up by romans Muslims are hilarious with their half-knowledge
Connor Roberts
it is only his mercy that he hasnt cast you into hell already, what is keeping you from putting your trust in christ
Jaxson Russell
Christianity was the original New World Order. Just like Islam, it wants to conquer the world and subjugate everyone under the imperial Jew god, originally an oriental storm god, one among many, who climbed above the natural order of things and perverted Western and Middle Eastern spirituality beyond all recognition. Christianity is the enemy of learning and the opposite of liberty, a perfect inbred cousin for Islam.
Now Mahayana and Taoism, those are the real shit. They actually value learning and cleverness instead of treating them as sure signs of blasphemy. They're methods for developing your soul instead of a list of things you have to BELIEVE.

Yup, look at Sweden. One the most atheistic countries in Europe and is undergoing a complete replacement of ethnic Swedes.

Hudson Hernandez
May God bless your soul and guide you user
Blake Torres
Same as the Catholics. Their church is the one true church that Jesus started, everyone not a member of their cult goes to hell, salvation is baptism in their church, then having oil spread on your wet body to let the Holy Spirit in, get hit in the face with a handful of herbs on Easter, Eat God, Be God, yadda yadda yadda. Virtually indistinguishable from Roman Catholics.
Isaiah Morris
i would say its Gods wrath for forcing the churches there into degeneracy
Carson Jones
I pray for you now user.
I pray for all that come here and seek. May your paths be fruitful and easier than mine. May the hellbeast Hillary be struck down.
May all Islamists convert or burn.
Sebastian Jones
To even begin to attempt to understand god, one must understand Satan.
Nicholas Lewis
Elohim is a Hebrew plural. Jew god spends all of Genesis conferring with his other deities, panentheism, is later magicked into a monotheistic religion by ape Jew pedophile rabbis who were filthy desert barbarians compared to the urbane, intellectual Phonecians.
Easton Collins
>please tip your fedoras in another thread
I'll tip my fedora wherever I god damn please!
Jaxson Wright
I understand that Satan is a loose translation and that it doesn't actually refer to an entity.
Leo Sanders
What do you mean by that?
Jace Sullivan
It means that I know both good and evil.
Evan Adams
Elohim is indeed a plural word, but it is used in a singular sense. Let us make man in our image.....and so God made man in His image.
Plural, yet singular.
Sound familiar?
Xavier Russell
A fallen cherub and leader of the assembly of angels, yes. On a par with maybe Michael the Archangel.
Grayson Ward
>Plural, yet singular. Sound familiar?
Ayyyyyy :^)
Jace Butler
No, it sounds completely self-contradictory, like the whole rest of the terrible retelling of earlier myths. But if you honestly are willing to believe the Earth is 6004 years old and was begun on a Tuesday, what do you find implausible?
Henry Thomas
>On a par with maybe Michael the Archangel Okay now how does that make any sense.. Wasn't Lucifer the most powerful being God ever created? Also isn't Lucifer an Arch Seraph, not a Cherubim?
I will unironically say that being on Sup Forums has led me back to the Christian path.
Remember all that Christianity is a "meme" that has (and can again) spread through a nation or the world like fire, and change lives / accomplish the goals that many here share.
Go to church you NEETs and find a good woman.
Angel Bell
Kek is the only real God
Caleb Howard
Who knows? Pray with me brother
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us of our trespasses, as we forgive those that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
I hate it that he's being used as a part of a control system and that his teaching are corrupted by (((Roman))) catholic indoctrination

Thanks for those Britbro
Levi Moore
its called the trinity for a reason
Angel Cooper
Who was the Holy Spirit? I'll give you a hint: *she* was the divine prostitute consort of God common to earlier desert religions of the time. At least according to contemporaneous Christian literature.
You have been taught an extremely selective history of the Christian religion.
No problem my friend. That last one always get to me
God bless you and keep you safe

Juan Morris
the Gnostic Gospels were written much later than the cannonical ones, stop using the davinchi code as a source
Landon Thompson
Thanks user, ill pray for you. The whore of Babylon will be. I am afraid my path will be hard indeed. On the positive side, Ive already accepted the calling and will agent for the God of all. If I am correct in my thinking, youll probably know me even if I never know you.
Aaron Perry
I find it implausible that people dismiss the entire bible out of hand, without any investigation, or on the slightest pretext, and yet consider themselves to be rational.
That God is a hyperdimensional being is something you at least need to consider possible.
Jackson Reed
Is this the thread where you kiss refugee feet?
William Thomas
nope im not catholic, and i think islam is leading many people to damnation, and i would love to see it go away
Jose Wilson
the pic from yesterday's christian general was much better
Nolan Edwards
Apocalypse of John, known to ignoramouses like you as "Revelations," was also a very late book which came from the same literary tradition as the Apocalypse of James, the Apocalypse of Adam, the Apocalypse of Peter, and many others.
Here's a list of books mentioned in "The" Bible (where's your Book of Jubilees? The Ethiopian Orthodox Bible - a much older one than yours! has it) which no longer exist today. Apparently God felt it was worth mentioning them, but not ensuring we could read them!
>Is this the thread where you kiss refugee feet? No, they need to go to safe zones like Trump suggested. No one should lose their culture.
Ian Diaz
I dismiss the Bible because I studied it under Harvard Seminary-educated theologians. That's why I'm a Mahayana Buddhist. It's a better religion that makes more sense and more truly captures what my heart feels to be true about the spirit world. I love Rinzai more than Malachai.
Elijah Evans
I always look forward to these threads OP, they're comfy as fuck.
Keep em coming and God be with you.
Jacob Collins
They don't since differing definitions of the boundaries of Scripture are given. The books Protestants throw out are included in these 'lists'. Often to varying degrees
Austin Sanchez
Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is unforgivable. They guy with Jesus Fucking Christ's sin was forgiven him at the cross; yours is not.
Nicholas Clark
Explain this
Cameron Moore
It's actually the Revelation of Jesus Christ, and you don't know anything worth knowing.
Ian Campbell
I do pity people who go to seminary thinking that they can learn about the bible there.
But then, there's a sucker born every minute, as P.T. Barnum said.
