Dude why don't you just like, combine science with religion?

...

That sort of goes without saying. Why would God make an infinite, complex universe if we were not meant to understand and thrive in it?

Still mad the church executed my nigga Bruno.

I've heard of him, but haven't actually read any of his work. Will definitely look into!

Is it a sin to worship Kek?

Sorry leaf bro. Many churches have been dumbed down nowadays

In the same way there is pop-science, there is pop-Christianity

>Still mad the church executed my nigga Bruno.

Oh and by the way - blogs.discovermagazine.com/outthere/2014/03/10/cosmos-pick-wrong-hero/

The anti faggots are called complementarians. They believe that God created Adam as as three sexually binary hermaphrodites and that marrying and fucking a woman reunites you with the manwoman hermaphrodite that existed before God "split him down the middle". How retarded is that? These people believe in clearly a nonbiblical interpretation and don't even get me started on "sodomy" laws. Born eunuchs "from their mothers' womb"? Inb4 born with crushed balls or without any balls. David and Jonathan. The Roman centurion healed as a mere "boy". They could have used other words. Centurions were forbade to marry. St paul was single and Christ affirmed all this. He said the marriage stuff didn't apply to some men. Go forth and multiply is a blessing not a command. And surrogates were seen as fine with Abraham and Sarah. Christ said Himself what was the sin of Sodom. It wasn't sodomy! It was inhospitality! It's like how male prisoners rape men now. Nothing to do with gender. Fallen angels rape only women. The passages you see with "lying with a man" are mistranslated from the Greek dialects and in context mean Pagan goat rapes. People used to pay whores in temples to "become as gods". Remind you of anything? The fall brought Christ. But He came immaculately and the fall also brought procreation and death and sin. The 144,000 raptured army of God will be REAL Jews who are male virgins from only certain tribes. Virgins of ONLY, WOMEN! The rest are saved. After that there is another rebellion and only Christians are left. Anti gay Christians sin when they ostracise men from marriage. That is a sin. Men can marry Christ. Homophobes eternally blown out as not knowing anything about the Bible

How highly do you value the writings of Paul? His condemnation of homosexuals is pretty clear cut, as he lumps them in with idolators and adulterers as people who will not get into heaven.

>“But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’[a] 7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,[b] 8 and the two will become one flesh.’[c] So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
Even Christ made it clear that marriage is a joining of man and woman, and divorce is an affront to God.

I'm not one to force christian doctrine upon secular government and non-believers, but don't try forcing your agenda into my beliefs.

Wtf have i just read?

Protestant heresies.

Sup Forums is a Christian board.

A Christian General? Thanks be to God! Post more Christ-chans btw.

PRAISE KEK! YOU WORSHIP A FALSE GOD! JESUS CHRIST IS A FALSE GOD! THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD AND HIS NAME IS KEK

So your congregation says all of the bible is true, right?

>of course the first five chapters of Genesis are allegory!

How do Protestants determine what is allegorical and what actually happened literally anyway? The Catholics have an official interpretation, but what does everybody else do?

The true Religion of Peace.

No, my congregations picks and chooses whichever bits fit their personal narrative.
>"We know that the universe is billions of years old and wasn't created in six literal solar days."
>"But Noah built an ark, filled it with millions of animals and God killed everything else with a flood there's no evidence of! And he lived for over 900 years!"
There's applying blind faith, there's applying faithless logic, and there's applying neither. I share my church with humans with questionable logic AND clearly limited faith.

What do you say?

Here you go.

so itt people pretend to be christian becasue it's the new contrarian position?

t. Alberto Barbosa

Woke up to go to church today but got too anxious and just watched a livestream of it instead.

Maybe next week

Sums up modern "Christianity".

I believe most of it is allegory or tales lost in translation, and that no human (however blessed) has lived more than 150 years. I have faith in the word of Christ, and anything older than that is too archaic to take at face value. Human understanding of the natural universe was too limited.

A church is nothing if it is not welcoming. Please find it within yourself to join us next Sunday.

Why are you forcing yourself to be christian?

They have live streams of Church now?

>Woke up to go to church today but got too anxious

What about church makes you anxious? Can't you just sit in the back and chill?

What type of Protestant are you?

Sounds like you're also picking and choosing like the members you're critical of

If the new testament is to be taken as truth but the old isn't, how do you explain 2 Tim 3:16?
>All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

>"But Noah built an ark, filled it with millions of animals and God killed everything else with a flood there's no evidence of! And he lived for over 900 years!"

It doesn't have to be all animals. It could be only animals from Middle East. Bible many times says "the whole world" but the context means only part of the world.

Do you estimate church architecture to change once more in the coming future?

In the past, the house of worship had much significance. But that has changed, and I believe accordingly towards different interpretation of the texts.

I'm more used to the sombre style of Calvinist Protestant architecture, but have only once a cathedral in Kitzbuhel. I was envious of the graveyard, and how they honored the dead so gracefully, compared to the derelict graveyards here.

Anyway, with the unstable times, will the churches in Europe be torn asunder? Or restored and fortified once more?
Predictions of the style of Evangelical Churches in the United states? Will their auditorium/stadium style change, or will it remain to cater to spreading the message rather than a safe haven?

your whole religion is full of shit

The official Catholic interpretation of everything from Genesis 1-11 is that it is myth so you can't take it literally.

What do you think about that?

ITT: cucks

Went to Divine Liturgy today and got to talking politics at coffee hour and Israel came up and we all just started dumping on the Jews and laughing about it. Heterodox Christians will never know that feel.

>Sunday Morning Coming Down by Johnny Cash plays

Christians love refugees & muslims

It's certainly inspired by God, profitable for doctrine, and useful for instruction in righteousness, but none of that means it is intended to be read as object fact.

Mainline protestants are a world different from evangelicals

>Do you estimate church architecture to change once more in the coming future?

Orthodox architecture will never change

Ask yourself, what would jesus do, when you prepp jamal for your wife.

So your reading is that inspired by God doesn't mean true?

I agree with what you're saying, but profitable ≠ perfect and inspired ≠ perfectly translated.

What you ask for does not exist

the christmas story is no more about refugees than is Rat Race

Men are fallible.

>some religious scholars who aren't complete shit
James White
William Lane Craig
Richard Swinburne
Alvin Plantinga
fat british guy with glasses (name is on tip of my tongue)
John Lennox
Peter Kreeft

It's not true. There is no official interpretation of genesis, however majority say it's a allegory and are pro-evolution. There is one exeptions, Adam and Eve, orginal sin were real.

Why is it necessary for you to post anime with a religious topic? It's distracting as fuck and unnecessary.

>Christian is being a cuck
>but adultery is a sin
??

Pic related, thats what cucktians actually believe in.

Read this commentary from Fr. Seraphim Rose. He cites many of the early Church fathers.

creatio.orthodoxy.ru/english/rose_genesis/chapter1.html

Pic related, this somehow makes sense in christcucks head.

>Name some religious scholars who aren't complete shit

Me.

Read the parts of the bible that constantly repeat that the bible is a book that gets touched more than little bois by priests. Meaning that it doesn't contain the laws or names, meaning that you must trust only those that can prove to have received power from God.

Meaning that obv the story would be kinda truish and the world would be kinda populated by a majority of demons of satan and a minority of humans.

OH WAIT, YOU'RE SOME RETARD ROLEPLAYING THE SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE THAT FINDS YET ANOTHER MILLIONTH BRANCH OF "TRUTH".

Literally no argument made whatsoever

Nice lolsorandumm picture :^)

>the universe is really big
>therefore, god doesn't exist
atheist intellectuals

I'm not forcing myself to be a christian. i'm forcing myself to be a better christian.

Worried about being autistic and disrespectful. I've only ever been to one proper service outside communions and such. Also afraid of friends and family mocking me for going but mostly over that.

Ye senpai mcnmedia.tv/

Do you say that in correct translation inspired means true?
God promises to preserve his word in Psalms 12 and Mark 13
God also cannot lie according to Hebrews 6:18

Same to you

>a tiny planet in an enormous universe.

If you put it this way, orther sins like murder or pedophila seems also irrelevant.

Someone asked for Christ-chan images, and they're the easiest to find in my Sup Forums folder. The alternative is DEUS VULT memes, which have even less application in this context.

>bruno
If that nigga is a scientist, lady Gaga is a sound engineer.

Imagine a mind so advanced and was, that by its single word, whole universe rises up. Mind so above humans that it conceived all the laws of physics and but into motion all subatomic particles.

This mind is concerned about my masturbational habits.

You guys are just a joke =D

(pic sort of related - its you)

This is now a Christchan thread

Post your Christian qts

see

>Christians welcome apostates

Cucks

The genre of that segment of Genesis is myth just like the rest of Genesis and Exodus is legend and the Psalms are poetry and the New Testament after Acts is Epistles and Revelation is apocalyptic.

God is a lie.

Please refrain from replying to Evangelical Zionists

My point exactly. Christians are cucks.

ahk. Can't complain about that. I'm agnostic but am interested in the topic. Carry on.

...

>This mind is concerned about my masturbational habits.

Porn it's a drug. Read about dopamine and how it affects your brain.

I don't understand, is this written to Mary or about Mary?

The whole Bible is useful for teaching and rebuking. It is the most pure message on Earth as it comes from the most pure being in the universe. Therefore, all of the Bible should be exposed to the young and none of it is impure as the Bible is as pure as children.

>posts a quote from a man crowned by the pope

...

If i did that at my church I'd probably be shot

BEHOLD:

The living god in flesh!

(this is what Cucktians actually believe in...)

>many

Studies show the religious are far more likely to wrongly believe they are addicted to porn. Anything pleasureable can affect brain chemistry even a BLT sandwich.

When you actually sit down and think about it, masturbating isn't actually that great a thing. It's just another disgusting bodily function, like pissing or shitting. Rather degenerate behaviour. Nothing to be proud of.

Consensual sex within the bonds of holy matrimony in the missionary position for the purposes of procreation with someone you love and respect is best sex. Deus vult.

Lol oops
Generally letters shouldn't touch for legibility

Only religion can convince people that a cracker is literally the flesh of an immaterial being and not literally a cracker.

...

> bears and wolfes eat children for laughing at prophet
> bible is pure and good for children

You cucks are really retarded.

Psalm 14:1 "The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God.' Their deeds are loathsome and corrupt; not one does what is good."

Transubstantiation is heresy

Lol, reread what I wrote and the picture I posted.

Only weak minded sheeple can be so delusional.

Heh, my bad, didn't noticed the irony.

Pic saved, have a nice day.

Universe has no start, no end.
It's more interesting to investigate it than narrow-minded human inventions like religions.
