Christian theology thread for Christians - Deus homo factus est naturam erante, mundus renovatus est a Christo regnante

The damage that the Schofield heresies did to the Bible and Christianity as a whole will never be understated.

The Wisdom of Bl. Fulton Sheen

Day 189 - The essence of prayer is not the effort to make God give us something. Prayer, then, is not just informing God of our needs, for God already knows them. Rather, the purpose of prayer is to give God the opportunity to bestow the gifts He will give us when we are ready to accept them.

I don't understand the desire to have six children, I have one and that is more than enough to keep our hands full. I see these couples with five, six children and think, 'how can you possibly be keeping up with all their wants/needs at the same time'.

I like to joke it's the reason I could never be a Catholic,

"Catholic? No thank you, one child enough for us".

American Protestantism as a whole*
The Apostolic Churches remain unaffected.

I bless the Lord everyday for having bestowed the gift of celibacy upon me for that very reason.

When it comes to prayers of petition, yes. But the Catechism of the Catholic Church also outlines five main types of prayer in CCC 2626–2643:

1. Blessing and Adoration: Prayer that acknowledges God’s greatness and gives Him glory, expressing humility and reverence (CCC 2626–2628).
2. Petition: Asking God for forgiveness, needs, or graces, often rooted in trust and dependence on Him (CCC 2629–2633).
3. Intercession: Praying on behalf of others, seeking God’s help for their needs (CCC 2634–2636).
4. Thanksgiving: Expressing gratitude for God’s gifts and blessings, as exemplified in the Eucharist (CCC 2637–2638).
5. Praise: Glorifying God for who He is, regardless of what He does, celebrating His goodness and majesty (CCC 2639–2643).

Link related describes the situation as I see it. I never own something unless I can afford it outright and had the same approach to children; but after seeing so many crackhouse babies grow up to be decent people after solid parenting from even one figure I realized there is no reason not to.

I'm not going to knock the quality>quantity approach, but if anyone is considering not having kids because they don't think they're "good enough" yet. Don't worry, as long as you care you will be.

That's only the half of it. The reality is that Hal Lindsey's book "late great planet earth" brain-fucked boomers around the 70s in the height of the cold-war to make them suck of that horror-religion on account of the world-ending politics of their own era.

This, combined with billy graham's use of media and charisma, and Falwell's moral prognostications in the wake of the moral turpitude of the sexual revolution shaped the 90s and 2000s low protestants. This is the road out of which modern americanism arises.

These three, of Lindsey, Graham and Falwell, are whom all of modern "conventional" american christian, that is low protestant, thought spring from. The under-current is the madness of pentecostalism, which goes harder if you'd will it.

I'm Lutheran and I'll stay Lutheran. I find it more respectable to remain what you were born into instead of joining the denomination window-shopping trend where almost all of them inevitably settle either for Papism or Bearded One-ism.

I do not take Cerberus to be an analogy of the Trinity. On the contrary, after appealing to it as thought-experiment, I lay it aside as inadequate. So what role does it play? Simply as a springboard for reflection on the Trinity! It’s a great way to launch discussion about how three persons can be one being. It may not be adequate as an analogy to the Trinity, but at least it gets us thinking! I call it an “image” of the Trinity, after Augustine, who identified other images of the Trinity like memory, understanding, and will (or love) in the human mind, which reflect three-in-oneness but are finally inadequate as analogies of the Trinity. --WILLIAM LANE CRAIG

Oh, you wretched Christians! Oh, you spiritual curs! You tapdance from blasphemy to blasphemy, recognizing that each of your analogies is itself blasphemous, and yet building your houses of cards upon those analogies nonetheless. Your apologist William Lane Craig expresses the fundamental incoherence of trinitarian doctrine by torturing and contorting himself. Analogy, springboard, humbug--it's all the same. The reason you must form these "images" is that the three-headed God you claim to worship is "imaginary." God is ONE. Period!

 

[Mad_Dog]

God is ONE

Yes, we have one God, existing eternally in three distinct Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Your "god" is a tri-headed Cerberus and an abomination, as Servetus noted. He was murdered so that I would have the right to say these words to you now. Your theological forefathers burned him and would have burned me too if they could have. Ha! You can burn the tellers of the truth but you'll never burn the truth itself. Your fraudulent and abominable doctrine has been sustained by the bones and the ashes of the martyrs, burned alive for during to question your three-headed doctrines made by man's hands. A reaping is coming.

Based on your post history, I'm going to guess that you are a Muslim, but probably one who grew up in the west. Your hatred of Jews and Christians equally fits the bill, as does your obsession with bodily functions

No ... I am an Epsicopalian Apostate. I apostasized from the Episcopal Church after it went full tranny and endorsed hormones and surgeries for children "regardless of age" during its 2022 conference of bishops. At the 2022 conference, they passed Resolution 66 "supporting access to gender-affirming care “in all forms (social, medical, or any other) and at all ages."

Rejecting the one true God because you were disgusted with a church that has also rejected the one true God is not the best decision you could have made.

Well, the Bible says we can judge a doctrine by its fruits. The doctrine of the Holy Spirit has produced fruits of spiritual pride and destruction. People think God lives inside of them and talks to them. People think God told them to get gay married or God told them to go into usurious debt. (John Calvin, for example, was a big fan of usury and vociferously argued in favor of its licitness and appropriateness.) This is why Protestant America is a usurious death-trap. No, I'm not equating Protestantism with Calvinism; rather, I am using Calvin as a representative example of the widespread tolerance for and even love of usury within "Christian" America.

So we have sexual hypocrisy. We have financial hypocrisy. We have hypocrisy of all kinds. Where do you see ANY evidence that the Holy Spirit indwells ANYONE?!?!?!?!

If we don’t sin does that mean Jesus died for nothing?

Can I have a little sin as a treat?

12 "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be enslaved by anything. 13"Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food"—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for immorality, * but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. 15Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! 16Do you not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, "The two shall become one." 17But he who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. 18Shun immorality. Every other sin which a man commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins against his own body. 19Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own; 20you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

---
What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4We were buried * therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6We know that our former man was crucified with him so that the sinful body might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. 7For he who has died is freed from sin. 8But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. 9For we know that Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. 10The death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. 11So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal bodies, to make you obey their passions. 13Do not yield your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness. 14For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

Youre sinning all the time in one area of life or another, you shouldn't be buying things while you're in debt, seen?
