Apparently OP doesn't know the difference between Catholicism and new-agism and neo-paganism.

Catholic churches are magnificent places of worship and prayer. It makes little difference what they look like. There are thousands of prayer shrines all over the country that are nothing more than a few statues and benches but dozens of people pray intensely there every day. Faith is a beautiful gift.

The original interpretation isn't an interpretation at all. It's a direct meaning. Just like the seven deadly sins. Gluttony and greed are in there, and building a church worth millions and millions of dollars is in direct contradiction to the original meaning of the Bible.

You literally cannot be Christian unless you support the Old Testament. The Council of Jersualem established that Christians do not need to follow Mosaic Law.

Literally read the thread. I said multiple time Christians are exempt from Mosaic Law (not eating pork or shellfish, wearing ripped clothes, etc) due to the Council of Jerusalem. That being said, Christ said he came to fulfill the Old Testament. Many references in the Old Testament are fulfilled and mentioned again in the New Testament through Jesus Christ

I mean, that's not a bad stab at it, but I'll post what the bible says the requirements are:

Romans 10
But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”

Why don't you post the verses?

Acts 15
Therefore I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to God, but that we write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood. For Moses has had throughout many generations those who preach him in every city, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”

Do you see how James the Judaizer doesn't care what the Gentiles are taught? Because to him, salvation is Jew only?

Do you see how he put in laws?

>abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood.

Do you see how he told them to go talk to the Jews if they wanted to know anything about God?

>For Moses has had throughout many generations those who preach him in every city, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”

The so-called pillars of the faith, Peter James and John, added NOTHING to the faith of Paul and Barnabas.

NOTHING.

Paul would eventually say that if you wanted to follow the gospel according to James, you were ACCURSED.

>>80780678
What? No, Satan is actualy rather irrelevant in most gnostic sects. For gnostics Yahweh was the demuirge, a lesser, incompetend god which created the imperfect world we live in and trapped human souls in material bodies. They belived that Jesus was a messenger of higher god which created said souls and taught his apostles the way to free themselves from demiurge's influence. This is why they rejected old testament as teachings of a false god.
