>>817 That's why you must turn your computer off and go outside and do God's perfect will for your life!!!

I'm now open to the idea of offering vol/mod status. So if anyone is interested, let me know.

This thread containing rules is now obsolete in favor of the rules page. But will still be kept. ( https://8chan.moe/christian/rules.html )

enough with the AI generated slop, you're not helping the board

The Lord is my strength and song, and has become my salvation. >For you know that you were not redeemed from your useless [spiritually unproductive] way of life inherited [by tradition] from your forefathers with perishable things like silver and gold, but [you were actually purchased] with precious blood, like that of a [sacrificial] lamb unblemished and spotless, the priceless blood of Christ. For He was foreordained (foreknown) before the foundation of the world, but has appeared [publicly] in these last times for your sake

imagine the kind of atrocious stinky gamer that enjoys kingdoms and castles and other similar garbage like halo

>>983 >What's going on here? It seems like the one who made the post in the image is confused about the meanings and content of Paul's letters. He is far from the first; Many Christians new and old, early and contemporary, find themselves perplexed by them. I won't pretend for a moment to know everything about Paul either. It's difficult to dive into specifics when the bullet points in the pic are short summaries of scripture, with no actual scripture cited. One must always be careful when summarizing the Bible or taking verses out of context. I could try and look into each one, but it would take a good bit of time to search through and find what verses these bullet points are vaguely referencing. For example, the image says: >"Jesus Says The Law Continues, But Paul Says No." Where does the person who wrote this get that idea? Who knows. But one well-known passage about Jesus and the Law is in Matthew 5: >“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. (Matt. 5:17-18 NKJV)" Jesus is saying that he has not come to destroy the Law that the Israelites have known for so long. He has come to fulfill it, to complete what has been told and prophesized in the Old Testament. Looking into that part of the Bible, to the Psalms and to Isaiah and other books, we can see that all of it prophesizes the coming of the Messiah, who is Jesus Christ. (Footnote: jot and tittle are referring to the smallest stroke and letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Jesus is saying that not even a single dot or line of the written Law will be removed until everything is fulfilled.) So already, we see that the original poster of this pic is a bit confused. "Continue" might not be the best word to describe what Jesus was sent to the Earth to do. The word "fulfil" is very important, as it is also specifically used in other parts of the Gospel to talk about prophecy. The pic says:

Who can disagree with the message that many are far from Christ? However the idea of a "Rapture" is something that originated in the last two hundred years under highly questionable circumstances. History of the concept from a conspiratorial and Orthodox perspective: https://banned.video/watch?id=66073940b0f994f1e4ca4dfa @25 minute onwards Refutation from a Syriac Orthodox priest: https://youtu.be/LrbOsFphtHc Refutation from Scripture, an Evangelical Angle: https://youtu.be/9ifs4kGli0g As far as I can tell the Catholics don't accept that either, but that's enough links for now. Personally I'm 99% skeptical of this modern hodgepodge that promotes comfort and pacification. tl;dw talking about it is a waste of valuable time and believing in it will lead you into a very false sense of security.

Tested...

>>158 The Church precedes the Bible . . .

>>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.

>>853 >it is the Christians who have the evidence on their side, and their opponents who are appealing to authority. I beleive this is true and it's shocking also the new articles coming out trying its hardest to "debunk" Christianity by appealing to alphabet people agenda as I've seen in social media.

>>853 Only some protestants were against big bang and evolutionary theory. Both of which were discovered by Christians. The big bang theory by a Catholic Priest clearly inspired by Saint Thomas Aquinas and Aristotle.

>>882 Most scientists don't understand that science is a deeply Christian worldview, and many Christians don't either. You have to believe that the world has rules to believe that the world has rules. (Sagan may have believed that Science was a Candle in the Dark, but the only way to leave the Demon-haunted World is to leave the Demon-haunted World.) It is logically invalid to believe that the world has rules from the fact that it looks like it has rules: this is the problem of induction. Ultimately, believing that the universe has rules for us to discover is an act of faith: it cannot be defended through logic (that is the problem of induction). But, you MUST believe that the world has rules, rules that the fallible human mind can discover, or you CANNOT do science. Science is, ultimately, based on a faith. I want to blame evolution as to why science has become so ... dogmatic. Scientists didn't understand why Evolution was the Scientific way of doing things, so they fell back on appeals to authority. They couldn't articulate that Evolution betters represents this aesthetic that the universe has rules, that we as fallible humans can imperfectly know, and that when you apply the rules of Evolution, the world as it appears to us is an emergent property from the initial conditions. Yes, Evolution contradicts scripture, but it better encompasses the idea that God imparted rules upon the Universe, and the Universe operates according to those rules, over Deep Time. And that's another issue: if you believe that the Universe is only six thousand years old, then you don't have Deep Time. But, the Universe APPEARS to be over six thousand years old (could be Satan, but I'm not holding my breath), and it APPEARS to have the kind of time-span on which Deep Time, and thus Evolution, can operate.

>>883 For me? It's swearing. I also want to "give up" having a poor prayer life.
