Just got back from my first service ever. It was at a Catholic church and everyone was super friendly! I think I'll convert.
I gotta say, a life of Christianity and liberal conservatism is a heck of a lot more satisfying than one of atheism and communism. I'm glad I changed my views. Much love to all of you and DEUS VULT!

Exactly right! Remember that Enver Pasha was a Muslim, Stalin and Mao were atheist communists, and Hitler was some sort of atheistic neopagan. It's always better to convert than to kill!
>>71939534
I can at least tell you that the Catholic Church is spiritually rich with the presence and love of God, and this tempers the minds of followers. Everyone at my church was sensible. I don't know much yet about those other two, but you should go and see if they're right for you. Orthodox folks always seemed nice to me.
God bless you too.

You should convert to Judaism. They're chosen.

I recomnd you reading Confessions of St. Augustine. It really help develop your faith. Also, Deus Vult.
>>71944605
Truth hurts ? Catholicism is the Whore of Babylon, it spawned all other denominations like Protestantism, Baptists, Jehovah Witness and etc.... Just like the bible says, she is the mother of harlots.
>>71945295
Nah, because you have no evidence for said truth. So I'll just mock you.

Yes. The rest of my family is either agnostic, Protestant or Muslim. Presbyterians are really nice folks, I'll say that.

Thank you and God bless! I'll try some Aquinas and St. Francis too.
>>71945365
>>71944251
No proof ? Catholicism celebrates pagan festivals like Christmas and Easter, practice things like praying to saints and Mary, while doing rehashed pagan rituals.
You even bow down before statues and images, which the bible strictly forbids(Exodus 20:4-5). There's a statue of Saturn in the Vatican, which they named it to St.Peter. People go and kiss the statue's feet, that's absolutely disgusting.
No proof ? Open the bible and actually read it. I'm not speaking this to offend, but an actual plea for you to search for the truth.
is the chan for me and you
>>71945927
Yeah, and you do too, Ortho, you got Saints, we got Saints. Unless you're, God fucking forbid a gnostic shit.
Have you washed any Muslim's feet yet?
>>71946259
revering saints is different from praying to saints
praying to saints is idol worship
>>71946443

>>71946518
You're telling that to me? And not the gnostic shit that doesn't get it? Get your priorities straight man.
>>71946259
With all due respect, I'm just a christian, which a lot of people these days forgot even exist. Christians don't belong to any denomination or church with a lesser name.
Read the bible, everything is simple if you put aside those tinted glasses that the Catholic/Orthodox people gave you.
>>71946635
Catholicism is a cancer which prostrates itself to men and not to the lord
>>71946680
So you're a protestant. Because that's what a protestant says.
>>71940775
>and Hitler was some sort of atheistic neopagan
please nigger hitler was a christfag . it was the jews who where at war with him, and the jews setup brother vs brother
>>71946866
You don't pray to saints, it's more like trying to get them to help you out.
>>71946890
I'm a christian who follows God and his word. It's as simple as that. Protestantism is just another daughter of Catholicism.
>>71947074
That train of thought is a Protestant train of thought.
>>71947005
And how will they help you? They were good men who followed the path of the Lord, and his son Jesus Christ, but they are men. Only the Lord can perform a miracle.
>>71947259
Because they can give the word to the lord to help your ass out? Messengers, you Argie fuck, Messengers.
>>71936653
>Catholics
good goy
>>71947005
The bible never encourages to pray to anyone other than God. The saints can't hear you, they also have no power to be an intercessor between God and men.
>1 Timothy 2:5 "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;"
>>71947171
They believe in the Trinity, and they also celebrate pagan festivals like Christmas. They're catholics in denials.
>>71947419
If I received a box in the mail filled with chocolates, and I wanted another one, would I ask the UPS man to bring me another one? This would be absurd.
>>71947611
No, you'll ask the person that gave you the chocolate to send you more chocolate. And who can give the word to other person to give you more chocolate, that's right, the person that has the message.
>>71947539
So Jesus Christ was never born?
>>71947944
But I already know who it is who sent me the chocolates-they have a return address. Or in the case of miracles, I know they are caused by the Lord. Why would I need a messenger to find out who they are, or to talk to them? And why would praying to such a messenger, idol worship which will offend the Lord, help my cause?
>>71947944
The bible doesn't ask us to celebrate this birthday, neither did the Apostles did so.
He wasn't born on December 25th, and The Roman Festival of Saturnalia took place between December 17th and 23rd. The 25th was celebrated as a sun god's birthday.
>>71948175
Because the messenger can relay the message to God.
>>71948430

>>71949749
Because he's a faggot Jesuit?
Remember that Christ is always with you.
>>71949869
So you agree with me?
>>71948588
Can the Lord not hear me? Are the saints more able to hear my message than the Lord? You have forsaken monotheism-you have a veritable pantheon of minor deities to which one must beg a favor. The Lord can hear me, for The Lord is omnipresent and the saints are not. The Lord decide how to respond, for the Lord is infinitely wiser than the saints. And the Lord can act on my request, for the Lord is infinitely stronger than the saints. To what purpose do I put the saints, except heresy?
>>71950164
That the Pope is shit? Yeah.
>>71950384
Oh he can hear you, but he gets so many prayers, you see.
>>71937128

>>71950716
Is the Lord too weak? Too incapable to hear? Not wise enough to discern between the prayers? This is the god of catholicism. Too weak to understand, so he requires other deities to help him. Catholicism is polytheism.
Holy fucking shit, is /pol/ really this religious? I mean sweet Jesus, if you really believe in your book of rules for infinite lives, how can you possibly participate in what goes one here? That's absolutely hilarious, that's some tumblr levels of cognitive dissonance. Do you really believe out of the hundreds of religions invented by some sweaty dudes thousand of years ago, you just happened to be born into the right one? Or is it just because God wuvs you, but decided to fuck every one born in a non-Christian part of the word just for shits and giggles? Do you really think you got a magic space wizard and a bunch of dead people looking down on you right now? And you can spread as much hate as you want, stop as much medical and science proess as possible, and bomb a few abortion clinics; but if you put it in a dudes butt it's game over? Come on pol, I thought you guys were red pilled. Is death just too big a red pill to swallow?

I am in my 20s though, is it different with younger people?
>>71950996
No. It's called connivance and a fast pass to getting your shit in first.
are catholics cannibals?
>>71951607
So I must trick the Lord to get what I want with the help of the saints? This does not sound like a good idea.
>>71936653
Converting to a religion isn't really about people being friendly, it's about admitting the far superior truth of the God it unveils. The principle of God is incalculably more important for your life than the kind people you hang with, if you consider the absolute of God.
But people being nice always helps.

I cant even tell anymore whether you are trolling or just really stupid. Dont catholics have any faith in God?
Matthew 6:7-8
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do : for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Matthew 7:7-11
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Philippians 4:6
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
>>71951210
Da sweet Jesus was a joke buddy guy. I mean sweetly Lordy Christ on the cross, is that the best refute you have for me?
>>71951821
It's not tricking, it's putting in a good word. Or getting someone to tell him to help you. You should always pray to God mind you, but yeah, saints give you that extra bump.
>>71936653
I dunno anon, I grew up Protestant, and have come to dislike organized religion. Catholic Church may not be degenerate, but that doesn't mean I want to swallow their metaphysics.
>>71945142
Aquinas, Augustine, the patriarchs are all based, even if they are wrong about some things. Paul Tillich and Kierkegaard are the best Christian thinkers tbqh.
First half of the Bible is good, killing mudslimes, multiple wives and no degenerates, but the second half is a let down besides St. Peter telling some uppity bitches that they aren't allowed to preach in church.
>>71951547
Its the whole "Look at me Im christian on 4chan" thing thats getting old.
>>71952061
You're having someone argue the doctrine about Saints who isn't trained in doing so.
>>71952419
>>71952719
Why can't you catholics realize that there is no basis for intercession of saints in the Bible. Even the jews got it right.
Psalm 94: Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
Psalm 116: I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
Psalm 139: To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me .Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but , lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there . If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee .For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written.

>>71953375
Because the bible didn't exist/only had the people who were trained in Latin to read it?
>>71953375
If intercession isn't a thing, then you Protestants are claiming that the soul does not exist, since it can't be prayed to once someone has died.
That's the issues with Proddies: failure to understand all the implications of a belief
>>71953562
That might have been valid argument in the medieval times but since Bibles are now available for everyone in language they understand, there can be no defence for the blasphemous doctrine.
>>71954021
Yes, and in the modern times people can sodomize each other and no one will bat an eye.
It's degenerate.
>>71951547
I'm 17 in England and all my friends are Christian. I'?m not in a city obviously.
>>71953793
t. Straw man
Souls of those who died with faith in Christ are in heaven. Still Bible does not teach intercession of saints. It teaches that God can hear and is willing to hear without it.
>>71954210
How is that an argument? Sodomy is strictly forbidden in the Bible, therefore it cannot be defended. Things that go againts teachings of the Bible are degenerate.
>>71954611
It's saying that the medieval times aren't fucking degenerate and had the right idea.
>>71954611
If those souls are in heaven, why can't we pray to them (this is intercession)?
>>71954750
Scripture does not teach the invocation of the saints, or that we are to ask the saints for aid. But since neither a command, nor a promise, nor an example can be produced from the Scriptures concerning the invocation of saints. Scripture sets before us Christ as the Mediator, Propitiation, High Priest, and Intercessor.
>>71955308
So you have no idea how to answer
>>71955445
"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength."
When you ask intercession from saints, you place your trust on them instead of the Lord. It seems that you do not trust or love the Lord above all others. The Lord himself promises in the scripture that He hears and answers. Is His word not good enough for you? Do you consider Him to be a liar?
>>71936653
>everyone was friendly!
>lets subscribe to this ridiculous fairy tale!
>>71955932
Aquafresh please.
>>71955837
If spirits are in heaven and closer to God, why can't we ask them to intercede for us?
>>71955992
Because God teaches against it. He teaches us to trust in Him. He sees us just as well as those souls in heaven.
