He Sup Forums I'm a convert to Christianity from islam and have seen atheism come on the rise. Because of this I would like to do my part by preaching the gospel and answering any questions you might have about Christianity... within reason.
Debates are also welcomed.

What denomination, bongbro?

Opinions on Pope Francis?

I am a protestant and strongly believe in reformed theology.

I see pope Francis as a nice guy but when it come to theology I believe the whole of Catholicism goes against Orthodox christian views and thus brand it satanic!

Stance on Abortion?

Western europe is becoming atheist.
All atheists today are liberals & leftists who support multiculturalism.
Islam is taking over europe because of liberals and destroying the white race.

Thats what happens when you leave Jesus.

Against unless to abort a baby conceived by rape or before the age of consent or the woman's life is at risk.

I have no hate towards Muslims I understand why they would choose to be so but I believe it is a religion of the devil not because of violence but because it goes against christ and anything against Christ is satanic to me.

i have no hate towards muslims either.
But multiculturalism destroys nations.
East is becoming Christian and the west is becoming muslim because they left Jesus.

>East is becoming Christian and the west is becoming muslim because they left Jesus.
Okay fair enough.
>But multiculturalism destroys nations.
why do you say so?

No thanks.

We're fine.

How is the trinity not illogical and not polytheism?
Why am i inherently evil for a sin that Adam and Eve did?

>How is the trinity not illogical and not polytheism?
Because it's the same entity.
>Why am i inherently evil for a sin that Adam and Eve did?
Original Sin instills the idea that we are not worthy if we do not try. Humans are inherently flawed - not "evil".

>How is the trinity not illogical and not polytheism?88607679
Well the trinity is not polytheism but rather god who is one being one essence and one thing is comprised of three persons what all are in perfect unity and it may seem illogical but Bear in mind this is god's nature and you could not begging to comprehend god.
>Why am i inherently evil for a sin that Adam and Eve did?
When adam and eve ate the apple not only did they become sinners they became sinners inherently and thus this habit of sinning was passed down through generations. Think of it this way if you have a disease and have a child and that child inherits the disease you have is it unfair?

Speak do not tell. Show Christ's love, don't just talk about it.

As a recently reverted Catholic I'll talk about the pope

He declared this to be a year of Mercy, and so most of what you're seeing are acts of mercy, typically spun into things they aren't by the media.

He said we should stop hating gay people. Or that they can go to heaven. Which is true. Being gay isn't the same as acting on it and repenting. Hatred of fellow man is immoral. Feeling bad for people so lost in sin is appropriate, be merciful and help show them the light.

I know I'll get the rapugee picture. Francia and even some higher bishops aren't really cognizant of the politics behind this. He doesn't know all about Islam, and he's wrong in his pontifications. Luckily, you don't have to listen to anything he says ex cathedra, or the other way around, sorry.

He's just the bishop of Rome at the end of the day.

Anyway. Look at what he's said on transsexuals, porn, abortion and other topics. The media loves him because they think he's ''progressive'' but that's just not true.

Remember his theme. Year. Of. Mercy. And it all makes sense

>be me
>ignore all other great accomplishments done by Christians
>Focus on one terribly studied fact
>concludes Christianity is evil.

Are you afraid of being killed for converting from Islam?

Nah Brother, KEK is the way!

All praise KEK the one and true GOD.

In the name of BANE, PEPE, and WOJAK
Praise KEK

Just as a mental exercise. Look at actual multicultural regions. Take the Balkans or ex Yugoslavia, or any other region where two or more cultures clash. It's hard enough to just end the mutual bloodshed, let alone accept each other.

Multiculturalism dissolves the host nations traditions. If Chinese are the majority in France, it's not really France anymore is it?

If I die for Christ so be it.

...

From 2001 to 2010 the Holy See, the central governing body of the Catholic Church, heard sex abuse allegations concerning about 3,000 priests dating back up to fifty years.
The massive cover up of the KNOWN rape of children went on for most of those fifty years.

Very few priests were removed from the church, some were only made to take mandatory leave, only to come back to their positions and rape children again.

With this in mind, do you view the Catholic Church as a terrorist group (of a sexual nature)?

What do you think will happen to the priests and other administrators who aided in the cover up?

Why do you think the Catholic Church hasn't done more to shield innocent children from rape?

I hate to be nonspecific but read 'suma theologica' by Thomas Aquinas. Really. It presents real arguments to contest you, Im sorry but I can't possibly remember all of it. I do hope you read it though. It cleared up most of my qualms with Christianity

Causes nothing but conflicts between races and religions
Think about it any country that tries multiculturalism destroys itself.
Roman empire for example.
Romans were italian pagans then greeks bring Christianity to rome.
and become multicultural and liberal, then it slowly destroyed itself do to diplomatic failers.Between western rome and eastern rome, Wars Happen.
Not to mention the conflicts with the persians and turks.

You see thats the thing pope doctrine is always altered and when your one religious figures cant all agree then you have a weak religion

Even Aquinas thought the trinity was illogical senpai

Amen.

pastebin.com/xMQ9wAwW here for any Christians who might be interested in some materials.

They did a lot. It's a huge stain on the catholic church and all of the clergy and bishops and all know it. There were extensive talks on it at the Vatican on hoe to solve and investigate it. I'm sure excommunication happened.

They've admitted over and over it happened and they're disgraced by it.

It's not like this has just been forgotten about.

I'd argue that for protestants. You all can't agree on how to worship, thus there's so much splintering. The Church only recently had Vatican II. It doesn't change very much

It's troubling for me to accept. But I'll do more research. Thanks for telling me

>With this in mind, do you view the Catholic Church as a terrorist group (of a sexual nature)?
Yeah it is really corrupt but I think we should focus on religious text: Are these people following their beliefs properly? Do they love god? Are they following his will if not than they are not good representatives of their religion.
>What do you think will happen to the priests and other administrators who aided in the cover up?
Nothing money talks :-(
>Why do you think the Catholic Church hasn't done more to shield innocent children from rape?
This is actually a good question perhaps there is a conspiracy going on and the catholic church enjoys abusing the young but I think it's because a lack of care where they are too focused on other things such as publicity and image (research the evil that was mother Theresa).

Mormon temple?
Not christian.

Friend most of what is spake about mother Theresa is conjecture. I'm assuming you're referring to her being a sadist, and secret baptismal and not using funds correctly. Again all conjecture by Dawkins or Hitchens I don't remember. A nun would know unwilling baptismal were invalid, but I think what's forgotten is what she actually set out to do. She set out to make a hospice for the poorest of the poor. Not a hospital, it wasn't a place for recovery, or even good care, there were established hospitals in Kolkata. Her hospice as many others throughout history weren't places of recovery usually. They were to hold and give love to the dying poor who had nobody to hold love them. It wasn't a hospital.

I know of all the denominations that differ from the normal reformed theology but once you talk to them which i have you realise they dont know what they are talking about. if they just studied there wouldn't be such diversness in the church

kek

Im just posting random pictures vaguely related to Christianity.

That's how catholics work. There is disagreement in the church. But the pope and Cardinals and all of them exist as a living body to settle issues. Similar to how any modern government works, they may disagree in the church but they all agree on basic principles. Protestant denominations often don't agree on basic principles and thus splinter

I don't know if I'm understanding you correctly

...

>richarddawkins.net
really nigga

Does anyone know if Christianity threads are allowed on pol? I don't know if I'll get banned making one

Fair enough.

Mormons follow a false prophet.
Joseph Smith.
There is no messiah after Jesus.

I did it so.. fuck it it it gets 404'ed you live you learn.

AAAMEN!!!

Im not a Mormon dude I'm Catholic. I don't agree with them or anything but that temple is beautiful. I wish more structures were made that way today Yeah I guess so.

What denomination are you?

Fuck! This is news to me, the martin luther bit of course

Protestant

>Christianity thread
Are you being serious?
Christian & Atheist threads every single day.

Only if your an extremist.

Are you as gullible as we all think you are?
Would you like to be making more money?
Do you feel that given the opportunity you would be able to run your own business from the comfort of your home and for only a few hours today?
Respond to this message and ill let you in early on a brand-new product, Its guaranteed to put money in your hands and young male cocks in your mouth.

Not any sub denominations? Anglican, Baptist, etc?

Why did you choose Protestant?

Well it's happening!

Dr Luther is very based

I'm a evangelical Anglican here

you will suffer for your apostasy

i'm not saying your a mormon.
i Just pointed out that was a mormon temple.
Sorry didn't mean to offend you.

i'm Non-Denominational

I believe of all denomination it follows the bible best by believing in the five solaes and reformed theology which are all apart of the bible unlike what others do by adding prophets like Mormons or not sticking to simple bible doctrine.

Insha'allah

?

Mandatory Protestant Viewing

>I have no hate towards Muslims

This is why you're "christcucks". Turning the other cheek today just means opening your ass wider for the diversity pozzing.

I can at least respect someone who wants to deus vult but your brand of kikery is just as oven-worthy as liberalism.

...

hatred of islam not muslims

Amen!

Well said!

i feel the same about peter hitchens whose mother was a jew so he is ethnically but he is a christian

are you a traditionalist catholic or a heretic?

...

wew lad

Im protestant the catholics are the heretic who go against reformed theology!

>hatred of islam not muslims
>hate the sin not the sinner! :^)

Are you traditions of man Jew (Talmudic) or a Torah Jew?

Pro tip: One is the synagogue of Satan and it hates the Torah. Just like the Catholics hate the Bible.

Why did you convert from Islam?

>>vintage preaching from 1969
Welcome to the new millennium.
Only old preachers preach that way.

Christians are pacifist now.

during the reformation catholics used to burn bibles

i'm an unironic jew who converted to christianity. just like Shia lLaBeoufalso did.

lel
go read some bible instead of burning them

>Protestant

You got meme'd, ONLY ORTHODOXY.

you must have never heard of Brother Dean or pastor Andersen

Yet liberals who claim to be christian are the one's that hold political power.

Yep.

How does it feel to still be taking the (albeit, altered) word of a bunch of Jews who lived in the Bronze Age?

>he has no proof of a deity
reprehensible loser

I realized it was a bunch of bull and contained bull stories literally plagiarized from other ancient Arabic text then copied into the quran.

as well as the men who translated them from latin

You're confusing Catholics with Protestants. Catholics are the ones who withheld Bibles and even burned them and the people that read them.

Catholics are non-Orthodox heretics.

Do you believe that God is omniscient and omnipotent? Do you think we have free will?

ahahahah

catholics

reminds me of boston tea party

Abortion is not a religious issue, or at least there are very good secular reasons to be against it.

Killing innocent human beings is immoral and the unborn from the moment of conception are human beings so the conclusion is that all abortion is immoral and must be opposed in every way. Life is scientifically defined as an organism in the state of development, the unborn from the moment of conception is a distinct human organism that is growing. That makes it a human life so unless you have a good reason to support killing innocent life or have some more logical way to define life both premises hold true.

The typical pro-choice person will usually choose to favor an arbitrary philosophical definition of life or "personhood". I can only respond to this by saying that the only other group that I know of that will choose to completely disregard science in favor of philosophy despite having no justification for doing so are Young Earth Creationists. Their definitions for "personhood" change with the wind.

>athiests hate jesus
>jews hate jesus
well well well

Are you talking about christ?

Is everyone from your old mosque now going to murder you for apostasy?

What do you think is the most effective way to reach Muslim immigrants with the gospel?

>Do you believe that God is omniscient and omnipotent?
Yes!
>Do you think we have free will?
Kinda

Well I didn't know that but I'm not surprised.

There were translators of Latin, Hebrew, Greek, and Arabic (individuals who could speak, read and write all) involved in the earlier translations and specially in the later. Although modern translations are shoddy and trash most of the time because almost nobody alive like that anymore.

its pretty bloody hard considering how stuborn they are and to admit they were wrong would insult there honour

Why do you believe in a religion where the prophet is a zombie?

I think we have free will up to the point we can choose if we have eternal life or not (including all the choices involved in that). Really. That is probably it.

the best was the KJV 1611 because king james ordered all of the ancient greek text and the latin and hebrew texts than got scholars to compare them and find out what went together

I mean no proof of a god that created the universe and immediately created the Earth over the course of a week. In fact we have undeniable proof that Earth is far older than the religious texts of Christianity indicate. It fails at the first hurdle.
