What do Protestants think of John 6:51-56, Acts 2:38, John 20:21-23, John 3:5, James 2:24 and 2 Thess 2:15?
Jesus was just explaining the Jewish Sader custom.The dogma of Transubstantiation was not even officially defined until 1551 at the Council of Trent.
It has nothing to do with true Christianjty
>>1251494
Mm, the doctrine that the bread is truly Christ's Body and the wine truly his blood definitely has to do with Christianity. The Orthodox subscribe to it and have long before the schism, in fact since the early Church. Paul said if you partake without discerning this, you do so to your condemnation.

goddamn I would like a fair ratio between real history threads, religious threads and hypothetical threads
What's the general consensus here about the samurai?
Is that supposed to be some kind of New Wave album cover?
>>1248577
his hates them because they are popular elsewhere
>>1248577
They are a Japanese warrior class.
/thread.
Also your picture shows models, not Samurai. Samurai were busy not wearing armor anymore. Heck some were wearing western uniforms.
How is Christianity more life-affirming than what this guy had to say?
>original sin
>guilt
>commandments, "thou shalt not"
>it's okay if you suffer lol bcuz heaven
I can't think of any of the core tenets of Christianity that aren't just pleasant lies.
How is a commandment against murder somehow not life-affirming again?
>I can't think of any of the core tenets of Christianity that aren't just pleasant lies
Forgiveness is a virtue.
Christianity was the first large philosophical movement in the West that made a virtue out of suffering.
Suffering is not simple "OK" because it will be offset by pleasure at some point. Pain and suffering are GIFTS that we must learn to accept, and a source of evil is that we reject them.

Sabotage.
What historical event would make the best movie or miniseries?
My pick would be the Cortés Expediton and fall of the Aztecs.
It would get so many protesters it would be sort of ridiculous.
>>1253648
Paris Commune, 1871
Mexican Revolution
English Revolution
>>1253648
Fall of the Western Roman Empire.
Crusader States.
Fall of Constantinople.
Marco Polo's adventures (yes I know there's a show but it skipped his entire journey there which defeats the point)
We did it ____!
We saved _____!
>Churchill

What were they thinking when they took this photo?
Big Strong American > Tiny Little Jap
MacArthur was a master of optics. He knew exactly what this image would convey.

what were they thinking when they took this photo
They both look silly. Hirohito because he is a tiny man and MacArthur because of his faggot ass pants with the large hips.
>Utilitarianism is common sense
Well it is.
Please don't tell me you follow virtue ethics in this day and age.
>people attempting to apply a coherent set of laws and rules to human actions
I mean is there literally anything more autistic than this?

Time to donate all your money to increase the total well-being of mankind then.
If you don't, then you're following some sort of virtue ethics...
Do you guys think that land warfare and naval warfare attract different kinds of personalities and aptitudes? If yes, how so? As in, do you think that if you were to take all of the best Generals of history, and put them in a room with all of the best Admirals in history, do you think that the attitudes and behavior etc of the groups would be different from each other? Bumping with pics.
Why is genocide a modern thing? Considering we have been doing this thing for ever, why is it so 'evil' in today's standard?
>>1256139
We're not as far into human history as you may think.
>>1256139
Because most people today live comfortably enough to care about other people they haven't even met in person. Today it's all about muh feels.
>Genocide
>Modern
It my have been done on a much larger scale more recently, but tribal warfare and slaughtering masses because they're simply not like or a part of the killing party has been a thing for a while. Especially in the "a part of" context. Territorial behavior between packs of the same species is definitely not unheard of.
Any historical figure you want a big movie about?
Any that you feel are underappreciated by the hollywood hacks?
Pic related is my answer. Violent abolitionist who was destined by god to overthrow the system of slavery. Supposedly wielded a scottish claymore in battle.

Does the bible support the existance of dinosaurs?
I've seen some American proddies argue that Leviathan / Behemoth were dinosaurs.
The real question is: does the fossil record support the claims of the bible? :^)
Is "freedom" basically just a buzzword?
>>1255910
In the American sense yes.
Lately SJWs and Tea partiers have largely perverted the word.
>>1255910
Yes
War is peace
Freedom is slavery
Free spech is not hate speech
Diversity is our strength

How come people were able to figure out complex mathematics thousands of years before figuring out basic ways of figuring out the world around them?
Before the scientific revolution natural philosophy was little better than guessing.
Mathematics was invented.
>>1255908
the scientific revolution was more than just the Scientific Method, it was also about Instruments. Telescopes, microscopes, weights and scales, thermo-meters and sorts of other meters. Technology played a big part in the forming of "Scientific Thought". Science itself should be thought of as a technology, just like Writing or Mathematics.
>>1255939
Even then you could try testing the bullshit that was thought for thousands of years.
Doctors for example would as often harm you as much if not more than help.
You could have tested methods to see the chances of death.
