>>1162 What's there to restructure and moderate? Which other chan you referring to?

>>1163 zzz. Basically, if there was a way to archive these posts in a findable place (because I know I personally have been encouraged by going through the old threads) while narrowing down the number of threads I think it would beget more frequent discussion.

I'm on a trip of a life time, yet nothing seems to be going right at the moment. The trip isn't going as planned. A lot of mistakes, and my health is acting up. This isn't how I envisioned my trip would be and it's causing a ton of stress mentally, spiritually, and physically. The trip itself is expensive too, so that just adds to the stress. Please pray that the trip gets much better. Thank you.

I'm struggling with a spirit of lust and I'm having a lot of negative thoughts in my mind as of late, after my life is not going well. Pray I can defeat this spirit of lust, pray that I can get focus on my life to accomplish my goals and dreams. Pray that I can better myself and leave this country.

>>1149 I'll just say it, because I forgot to do it yesterday. Send your prayers to Charlie Kirk's family. I hope Charlie is up there in Heaven with Jesus to watch over his family.

I gave up my Diet Pepsi habit.

>>883 Can I give up something for lent any time of the year of only before Easter?

>>1131 If I could ask for one thing, I would like them to stop genetic ‘seeding’ of people, or any modifications to the human genome. It’s really not nice. It’s really not legal. Anything inserted into my body without consent is a Rape.

'The World War II Consensus is Breaking Down' https://youtu.be/MfXxQW77cQA Jonathan Pageau, an Orthodox Iconographer, writer, talks about the collapse of the fake foundational myth of the West. And Ye's new music video.

Mel Gibson is on mount Athos, and he's working on a new TV series about the siege of Malta.

>>1094 Big post and you didn't even mention anything about the spiritual warfare waged on children, not to mention in some cases physical warfare because of the sterilization aspect. It's criminal. I think the rainbow flag is a double-layered psyop, one layer to propagandize perversion and make it into a civil rights issue, and the other layer to plant seeds for the upcoming world Antichrist religion (even if it's only through symbolism), where the Noahide laws play a key role. Maybe that flag will play a greater role in the future.

>>1106 God gave a commandment not to murder, and then took His people to war immediately after (against people explicitly called out to be practicing, among other things, homosexuality). In that regard, it seems pretty clear that the laws only apply to God’s people. The covenant being with the Israelites being superseded by the New Covenant doesn’t necessarily overwrite the things that can be gleaned about God’s will in the Old Testament. Jesus makes it so that anyone can enter into the New Covenant, but “tolerance” has clearly yielded bad fruit. I’d wondered what justification there could have been for the Crusades, but I think this might be it. I think other sins, such as pride, probably took over in the failure of the crusades, but before I read more of the Old Testament, I didn’t understand how a war could have been sanctioned by the church in the first place. I’m not trying to dredge up topics to debate on, frankly. I want to try and get ideas for how to promote a pushback against the “Pride month” nonsense that is rapidly approaching. If we aren’t prepared for this year, then at least the conversation has been started for next year. I’m tired of seeing this affront year after year.

>>1107 >God gave a commandment not to murder, and then took His people to war immediately after (against people explicitly called out to be practicing, among other things, homosexuality). In that regard, it seems pretty clear that the laws only apply to God’s people. Oh, so you're saying that because LGBTs aren't Christians everyone should turn a blind eye on the sixth commandment? >If we aren’t prepared for this year, then at least the conversation has been started for next year. Are you a fed?

Might as well post my Christ-chan here rather than let it sit inside my hard-drive.

>>144 >the Syrian meme I had forgotten it was like that. :(

>>1061 >tfw my other pic got removed I understand. I would never deny I am a sinner. If I may, I can tone done the style I've adopted/gone for her or post elsewhere.

>>1096 >>1095 your Luke verse is about renunciantion; he's giving an example of letting go of attachments to FLEETING ("worldly") things. when you let go of these attachments to unstable, transient things, you find the supremely stable Ground (or Rock, as in Matthew 7) upon which to build. if you fail to understand it in this way, the other words of Jesus won't make sense; they will seem contradictory when they are instead complementary. Matthew 5:38-40 (Luke 6:29–31) NIV 38“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ 39But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. Matthew 5:43-45 (Luke 6:27, 28, 32–36 ) NIV 43“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil AND the good, and sends rain on the righteous AND the unrighteous. do not misunderstand; Jesus doesn't mean to harbor hate in your heart for others. he means to cease to cling to extraneous, conditioned things. he is using "hating" family as his example because we mostly consider family and our closest friends to be the most stable thing in life. Jesus is saying that is still not the True GROUND; you have to find that which is truly unassailable, incorruptible, indestructible—that is to be your Ground, your Foundation, your Rock. we find this Ground by SUBTRACTING everything which is "in the way." let me know if you would like any further clarification.

>>93 wtf is this supposed to mean? Luther didn't "remove" the Deuterocanon. I have German Lutheran Bibles (one from the 1800s) with the entire Deuterocanon still in it. Begone with your papistic lies.

>>395 Levites are Israelites are they not? They were just the "clean and pure" priest class that gets set apart for those reasons.

I bought my first ever holy bible, along with two other Christian books. A few years ago I read Mere Christianity by CS Lewis but I've never read the bible. I decided it's time to let Christ more fully and devoutly into my life, so I bought the holy bible and two books written by saint Paisios. Do you have any opinions on him, or any advice to give me for my first ever read of the holy bible?

This is my first Easter since returning to the faith. It was quite the joyous day. I bought my mom some tulips and spent some good time with her. Feeling good.

>>140 Schizophrenic nonsense. It's the largest Christian denomination on Earth by a country mile and was literally founded by Christ. You and your kind, in your arrogance, reject everything Christ taught and ignore much of what he said. Ironic given your belief in "Sola Scriptura" theology (itself extra-scriptural).

>>880 All of scripture existed before the Vatican decided to split from the rest of the church in 1054 AD.
