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.
/pol/ is a powerful place with strong cultural influence, but also a place full of Judgement. I urge /pol/ users who consider themselves Christian to consider Jesus teachings on judging others before shitposting. Through Christian morals and values, everything /pol/ 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!"

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.
>>79997596

But a people who trust in God, exalt an entire nation
>>79997596
>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."
>>79997911
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.
>>79997873
it is, and is your destination lest you repent and put your trust in christ

Muslims are hilarious with their half-knowledge
>>79998363
it is only his mercy that he hasnt cast you into hell already, what is keeping you from putting your trust in christ
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.

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.
>>79998852

To even begin to attempt to understand god, one must understand Satan.
>>79998841
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.
>>79993535
>please tip your fedoras in another thread

>>79999072
I understand that Satan is a loose translation and that it doesn't actually refer to an entity.
>>79999072
What do you mean by that?
>>79999171
It means that I know both good and evil.
>>79999110
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?
>>79999167
A fallen cherub and leader of the assembly of angels, yes. On a par with maybe Michael the Archangel.
>>79999278
>Plural, yet singular. Sound familiar?
Ayyyyyy :^)
>>79999278
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?
>>79999368
>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?

Thanks OP.
I will unironically say that being on /pol/ 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.
Kek is the only real God
>>79999696
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.

>>79999653
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.

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!

No, they need to go to safe zones like Trump suggested. No one should lose their culture.

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.
I always look forward to these threads OP, they're comfy as fuck.
Keep em coming and God be with you.
>>79998505
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

Sure.
Men have opinions and write about them.
>>80001491
Revelation was written in the first century though, and in the time period an eye wittiness could still be alive, all of the gnostic gospels were written well into the second century
>>80002131

Your gnostic "knowledge" is wrong, per usual.
>>80001734
>I dismiss the bible because I studied it
They always say this, yet in reality their "studying" is 5% skimming through it every now and then and 95% internet fedora pseudo-intellectualism.
I don't doubt this is the same with you.

That is called scholarship. Show me a chuech father that rejects the realist view of the Eucharist. I'm waiting

>>80001921
Last Supper was a symbolic foreshadowing of His death, and a celebration of what it would accomplish.
>>80002304
The proto-Catholics, you mean? The ones in hell right now? The ones you're following to hell?
>>80002363
That's not what Paul said. To him, the whole Last Supper is in fact a re-presentation of the death of Christ and somehow a means to communion with him. Later Church Fathers testimonies will also show this claim of yours to be false
>>80001794
Thank you Anon. I am filled with Joy to see how successful they have been (on /pol/ of all places)

>>80002710
The rot in the Vatican is at least 1700 years old, yes.
>>80002932
He took it to death
>>80002167
Unlikely. It was part of an entire Christian tradition, where people were expected to be creative instead of just "believers." That's why there are so many different Apocalypse books. ALL of them were part of the Gnostic tradition, including Apocalypse of John. That's why Apocalypse of John was almost rejected from the canon entirely at the Council of Nicea, which was really representative of the agenda of Imperial Rome, not the VERY diverse sects of "Christianity" throughout the middle east.
>>80002986
Good work ignoring the main argument loser
>>80003003
Says you?
Or says the bible?
How did he take it to death?
How do you make sure you don't take it to death?
Did Jesus say Judas took it to death?
>>80002932
Explain this
>>80003030
95 AD, John the beloved apostle, on Patmos. As people who know something already told you, canon was not on the menu at Nicea.
>>80002574
It is through our own efforts that Christ remains sovereign of this board

>>80002927
wow I am now a #niggerdigger
>>80002256
I read it. A literature, it sucks donkey dick. I do like Ecclesiastes because it sounds like the Tao te Ching, and Paul is occasionally quite witty. When he tells the people arguing about circumcision to cut their entire dicks off I had a good kek. But overall it's obvious that the books that compose the Bible were written by men with ideas about God. Christians have zero humility and like to pretend otherwise.
>>80003066
This thread or even two Christians left alive destroys your argument.
>>80003066
That the Whore of Babylon is not the true church, as you say it is?
That seems to be the main point to me, and hopefully before you get cast into hellfire for being in the Whore of Babylon, to you.
There were Christians for centuries before there were Catholics, and Catholics have murdered tens of millions of Christians.
You're on the wrong side in this war. Just because you're not a muslim does not mean you're not going to end up with them in hell.
>>80003135
Yes, those would be my people.
People who love Jesus, and worship Him as God, and read the bible, and are not cannibals and vampires and law breakers.
>>80003135
That is not the Bible and is totally irrelevant.
>>80003244
You got all that from some shitty atheist blog post
>>80003141
Guess what? The Apocalypse of Adam was not written by Adam Kadmon. Taking on names of those who came before was common in that form of literature, and it's obvious from language that Apocalypse of John was older than the alleged apostle. If somebody mentions the International Space Station by name in a book from the 1800s, it's not from the 1800s.

Funny how the first thing you're taught about Buddhism is that Buddhism is a praxis and not a fact.
>>80003511
The Cloud of Unknowing draws on the mystical tradition of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite and Christian Neoplatonism,[1] which focuses on the via negativa road to discovering God as a pure entity, beyond any capacity of mental conception and so without any definitive image or form. This tradition has reputedly inspired generations of mystical searchers from John Scotus Erigena, Nicholas of Cusa, and John of the Cross, to Teilhard de Chardin (the latter two of whom may have been influenced by The Cloud itself). Prior to this, the theme of The Cloud had been in the Confessions of St. Augustine (IX, 10) written in AD 398.[2]
Hey, look at that. I'm all caught up.

Some Buddhists are as bad at being Buddhists as Christians are at knowing two entire things that are true about the history of Christianity from AD 50 to AD 400.

>>80003994
I'll give you a clue, since you're lost.
The Last Supper was on the Passover.
Jesus changed the Passover from a celebration of the release from Egypt to a remembrance of what He was going to do to institute the New Covenant.
You and your fellow pagans who think you are eating God are only eating crackers, and you and your fellow pagans who think you are drinking God's blood are only drinking juice.

PAUL says that, Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to wise men; you judge what I say.Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ? Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread. Look at the nation Israel; are not those who eat the sacrifices sharers in the altar? What do I mean then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? No, but I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become sharers in demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. This is not memorialist
>>80004236
Hell is wherever you make it. You seem to have a pressing need to spread Hell far and wide, to the deepest parts of China and the most lost parts of the Central African Republic, and that's an agenda that I cannot and will not condone.

The biggest Christian meme of all time is that you burn in hell for all time.
You just die! If you fail this test on Earth, you are thrown into the lake of fire To Die. Like sleep, forever. No torture. Go ahead, look it up. The biblical basis for hell being forever is like one or two lines in the bible that are taken WAY out of context. The fires of hell burn forever, NOT your flesh! You will die the second death and be gone forever. Sheesh.
Satan and his demons will be tortured for 1000 years, but you're not them, so don't worry.

although God can give you over a little bit on earth, Romans 1, hell is complete separation and torment

Dr. Bates at Stetson University. He died after I graduated, but his wife Dr. Peppers-Bates still teaches there.
Dumb Christian BTFO
I've often wondered if Jesus was killed on his birthday since they moved his birthday from being in Spring to being at the pagan holiday.
>>80005132
You just googled the staff there
>>79993535
dafuq is he eating? is that a tumor? did jesus do some psychic surgery on some one and pull a head sized tumor out of some one and is now about to eat it?
your so going to hell for that bruh
>>80004886
Hell is a location on the wheel of Samsara. It's another location into which sentient beings can be reborn, but honestly, you have to almost *try* to wind up there. Most people don't put forth enough effort to wind up in Hell, you have to really, really want it.
Like everything about the Wheel, Hell is impermanent. Even Jesus taught this - he referred to the duration in Hell as aionos - of or pertaining to an aeon, a lengthy but limited period of time.
>>80005258
No I didn't, because Dr. Bates doesn't show up there. Also who would google "Stetson University philosophy department" to defend themselves on the internet? Doesn't that seem a liiiiiiiiittle specific to you?
>>80005478
That is exactly what someone would do if they were trying to lie about something so specific
>>80005384
Nope,
i find Budhism to have very virtuous standards, but there is no way to right the wrongs you have commited against God, so hell is the destination all humans deserve
>>80004959
Oh shut up when no definition of the canon is ever given in the Bible
>>80005689
Right. Because I need you to believe me. Again, her husband doesn't show up in the department faculty, because he's dead. Very sad. They were both ugly dorks, but cute a couple, and they loved each other very much.
Christians love false testimony!

What's wrong with Washington?
>>80005768
Right and wrong are like extremes on a continuum. Like hot and cold, or blue and red. Obviously, it's not healthy to treat other people terribly and cause them to be poorer - not just for their sakes, but because the richer and healthier other people are, the easier it is to become rich and healthy yourself. Buddhism teaches EVOLUTION. It doesn't give you a set of doctrines to believe.
>>80005867
Oh right, like I need you to need me to believe you
John 17:21 "that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me."

I occasionally miss mass because I am disabled and am a pussy magnet yet devoted my life to catholicism yet when visiting my mother she said I'm not really catholic when I said our cousins have become godless abandoning the church for fully supporting homosexuality and gay marrige all because of "muh emotions" swayed them when their brother declared his homosexuality in college thus continued t make his identity centered on his Homosexual behavior.
Sometimes I truly wish someone would crusty me and fucking finally martyr me out of this polluted society.

if you have commited a crime, the judge must hold you accountable for that crime if he is just,
God is true justice, so he must hold you accountable for your transgressions, and the penalty is to be cuttoff from his prescence
only Christ can pay for sins, you need to put your trust in him
John 3
2 Timothy Chapter 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
>>80006561
Amen

You are thinking within a very anthropocentric model. You are thinking of crimes and judges, this is very simplistic, it's like the thinking of a child. Think of strange attractors and feedback loops. Harming others perpetuates and expands the universe's cycle of harm. Love perpetuates and expands the universe's cycles of love. The all-perfect judge takes no cases, issues no judgments, and hands down no punishments. The perfect judge is undifferentiated love.
>>80006636
I sure wonder where sola Scriptura is in early Christianity

Nice one

We each feel alone in this corrupted and sinful society, but know that you are with God always and that He shall never leave you if you do not wish it

Too many traitors, most jesus freaks are abominators. the new testament canonized everything bad and left out everything good. it was a ploy to test god - to see if they could subject god. killing a faggot is a good deed. giving charity to suckers is a bad deed.

A judge is a human occupation. You try to imprison God within your own humanity, not because you love God, but because you want to control It.
The One is the invisible spirit. We should not think of it as a god or like a god. For it is greater than a god, because it has nothing over it and no lord above it. It does not exist within anything inferior to it, since everything exists within it alone. It is eternal, since it does not need anything. For it is absolutely complete. It has never lacked anything in order to be completed by it. Rather, it is always absolutely complete in light. The One is
illimitable, since there is nothing before it to limit it,
unfathomable, since there is nothing before it to fathom it,
immeasurable, since there was nothing before it to measure it,
invisible, since nothing has seen it,
eternal, since it exists eternally,
unutterable, since nothing could comprehend it to utter it,
unnamable, since there is nothing before it to give it a name.

The council of Nicea was the creation of the church canon.
It is unfortunate that there was a heavy hand in determining what was excepted and was heresy.
Also unfortunate that the Pope is deemed flawless as no man is flawless.
The information that was lost during these times is irreplaceable and leaves room for doubt about what is presented as the word of god and what was thrown away as heresy. Who is or was worthy to make such a judgement?

Pray with me brothers
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,

This one has always stuck with me, as an ancient seeing weapons of the future:
Revelation 9:9-10
9 And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. 10 They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months.

What do you know of Pythagoras the Chaldean, whose knowledge can be used to calculate the pyramids and the Jews expelled with Chaldean astrologers worshipping sabazios where sabbath derives from, who just so happened to also go to Egypt at one point with a bloke called Moses as these were the only Jews, the first Jews.
>>80006896
I even stopped the womanizing after a girl I found brought me closer to God.

Anyway going through a lot lately.
My faith and trust is in Christ and the Father's will in which he calms me in this storm showing me the eye of the hurricane showing that the sky is blue under the sun still. That's all I can say.
Peace be with you.
Are certain parts of the Bible supposed to be metaphors? I don't know about stuff like Judges 15:4
>So he went out and caught three hundred foxes and tied them tail to tail in pairs. He then fastened a torch to every pair of tails.
>>80007314
Where do you get that the council never happened. It is well documented. There are bibles that exist prior to the council that still contain some of the removed books such as the Ethiopian bible.
>>80007208
Is it not blasphemous and wrong to wish a curse upon others?
>>80007593
I probably should say that were separate from the council they may or may not predate it.

Ayy leaf, thas some funny shit, the whole religion stems back to a corrupt cult of Jews expelled in 139bc with astrologers who could probably follow a star to where a kid was born, it almost discredits evolution that man is still so autist.

Genesis 4:9-11
9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?”
He said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
10 And He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.
11 So now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.

How much of what Catholicism/Christianity in general which is taught today is the actual teachings of Jesus? I feel like today's Jesus is portrayed as more forgiving and loving than he actually was. I kind of have the feeling Jesus was almost a revolutionary in that he called people out on their degeneracy and he wasn't all forgiving...how accurate is this idea?
>>80007920

Boy what a surprise.
is jesus the christ the ONLY way? or was he merely telling us of God consciousness, which is basically surrender to God.

The Tao doesn't take sides;
it gives birth to both good and evil.
The Master doesn't take sides;
she welcomes both saints and sinners.
The Tao is like a bellows:
it is empty yet infinitely capable.
The more you use it, the more it produces;
the more you talk of it, the less you understand.
Hold on to the center.

We all run on the same base instincts as tribals; hunter gatherers meant to live in small-medium communities. We have basic logic and problem-solving skills and good hand-eye coordination and reflexes. We also have good creativity to invent tools.
Suddenly we discovered science and mathematics, and unlocked the logical parts of our brains and we sprang ahead 100's of thousands of years in an evolutionary sense in only 50 000 years.
Basically, our rationality and logic haven't had enough time to mature and overcome our overly emotional and instinctual nature as omnivorous primate animals.
Theists are just those that can't accept not having their answer so they use "faith" instead. Literally the disregarding of evidence in favor of willful ignorance.
>>80008037
He was infinitely loving and forgiving, but he also called people out on their degeneracy and would not accept anything less than repentance.

I would hate to rely on the heartless, mindless, loveless Tao. A personal God that honors human beings as worthwhile (albeit flawed) is much more manly.

Science stems from maths and language, Pythagoras was considered God like, and left handed. All science requires theory and you record results primarily needing maths, our first subject.
