Tell me about how Satan is understood in Christianity. I know that like God, he's a completely abstract entity. I think I heard somewhere his presence can be everywhere. So is he privy to everyone's thoughts at all times?
Satan wants to >pic related
You got the abstract bit right, but specifically NOT omniscient, as that would require a kind of infinite power of thought. Can only 'think' in one place at a time, where it is is where its attention is.

Then he can't temp multiple people at once? So who's doing that, his minions?
Fuck your shit. History of swears, obscenities and vulgar language thread.
Discuss how certain words came to be and then came to be obscene or taboo. And to get some things out of the way, if the story involves an acronym origin it is pretty much guaranteed to be wrong.

I'm curious to hear genuine appeals from multiple points of view.
Consider your audience open minded and non-judgmental, not just to you, but other perspectives as well.
Christ is LORD
The Church is TRUTH
His is THE WORD
All you need to hear, the rest is up to you.

Which church, specifically? And why? Just Christianity in general, or Catholicism? If the latter, which branch of Catholicism, and why is that one better than the others?
>>644951
You don't need to
but pay in mind that religion is an ideology and thoses are shortcuts your mind. those shortcut can lead you further or they can lead you nowhere.

I don't think I need to pose a question to generate discussion, sadly the inevitable spammed macros and youtube minor celebrities dressing their opinions up as fact will do this for me.
If you want to avoid the macros and memes, post contemporary art with merit. If it's not all women plopping paint eggs onto canvas or canning literal shit, prove it.
Very easy way to prove everyone wrong.

How do you define "merit"?
>Claim or title to commendation or esteem; excellence, worth.
>A commendable quality, an excellence
How would you convert such vague wishy-washy subjectivity to an objective classification to apply to something as subjective as peoples' highly individualistic tastes in visual art?
It is hard to describe Christianity without ascribing it to any specific religious and ritualistic practice.
Many people call it a path, a way to life, not a religion.
The Early Church is likely the early assemblies of people who gathered in Yeshua's name, and is also likely to have existed before Christ came about. Matthew 23 is a great example about Yeshua and His take on the Pharisees and the religious leaders at the time and brought about a reformation to Israel, and the redemption and salvation of sins.
What do we know about Yeshua?

>Yeshua said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6
Mentioned this in another thread, Yeshua says that He is the Way. No one goes to the Father but through Him. He tells us to love nothing but the truth, and that He is the life.
>"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 3:2
This is pretty much to say that when we repent our sins, we begin the process to purify ourselves, which is one of the key qualities...

Just a few more ideas of where thread might go.
So whatever denomination you are, or not, not here to discuss theology as much as the wisdom and basic teachings of Yeshua.
It is important to understand that the Gospels are more about the teachings of Christ rather than a full synopsis of His life. We merely only get a glimpse of Yeshua's wisdom in the Gospel from when He is baptized and after the Crucifixion.

>For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. Romans 8:5-6
It is easy to be overcome by worldly desire, in fact many teachings of today encourage indulgence.
Mindfulness of the spirit of things here is obviously preferred.
Educate me on Kurds, /his/
On the one side, they are depicted as pro west, pro equality and fighting the evil terrorists.
On the other side, Turks call them backward, violent and prone to honor killing.

Depends on Kurts
Turkish Kurts - Niggers of Turkey
Iraqi/Syrian Kurts - More civilised than other neighbours, save from Assyrian whose clay they steal
Iranian Kurts - No idea, they're Sunni but don't give that much fug muh iranic brotherhood
I'm mean its all over the bible?

"And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked."

>Catholics running indulgence scams to help build golden palaces and pay for master works of art
>Protestants = entrepreneurial spirit, capitalist work ethic.
How DO they reconcile that?
>>695653
They defy the word of God, not to be harsh, but it is heresy..
>>695661
Yeah, if Protestants are all about capitalism, why are they for something that is all about charging interest (especially to the poor).
It specifically says in the Bible not to do that.
Yet many modern Christians are like... But muh 401K!
