Official Kiwifarms Based Christianity Thread

How do you buy mountains of coke and week, and hallucinogens and opiates for the afterparty chill if poor?
How do you buy whores too
I don't think Episcopalian church groups generally party like that, but even if they do you can party a lot better on the medicare-sponsored drugs that all the poor people with no futures will show up with and share around.

And you can have much rougher sex with them, too.
 
I wouldn't know

I'm Episcopal because I really like the direct apostolic connection to Christ. I like taking communion with the people of my town, and I do have a loyalty to it, so stop making assumptions when you don't know. I enjoy the high level of education in the Episcopal Church, and everyone's really helpful. We want to do our best and live as little-s saints, and being there encourages and enlightens me.

What do you mean by "liturgical and tehological abuse"? Because what's a bug to you is probably a feature to me. Women belong in the pulpit, and priests should be allow to marry, and it's OK to be gay. Why can't you understand that it's in the best interest of a church these days to welcome anyone with open arms? That a church might be a place of acceptance and spiritual renewal? Do you go to church and expect your priest to preach a sermon about AGPs and pedos? Do you want that authentic experience of fire and brimstone? Go Haredi
Lol so it's just a social club where you can show off your class affiliation. It is harder for a rich man to get into Heaven, than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle!

The universal call towards sainthood is a great thing, that is all to often ignored, but you need to know what sainthood is to strive after it. Spiritual renewal isn't just fuzzy feelings, it is an actual transformative process of grace which manifests into a life of holiness and purity. The Church is a hospital, as Christ is our physician. She does welcome the sick and the infirm with open arms, and then, critically, she nurses them back to health. This is the goal of all religion: to be in communion with the unceasing love that begat the world to share in itself with it's creation. To not do this, to intentionally allow people to remain in sin (which is seperation with God), is to commit an unforgivable act of hatred upon another person. What you have isn't a church, it is a leper colony where the doctors peddle poison by disguising it as medicine. And you have the gall to call this love. The people behind this, the people who should know better, believe me they will have to account for this on their judgement, God have mercy on them.

No, it isn't. It's an opportunity to enact the Kingdom of God right here on Earth. Our church is generous and I can name some of the positive impacts our communion made this last month: we have collected blankets for a family of 16 Honduran refugees. We donated ~$500 in personal care items and ready-to-eat foods for 50 Haitian immigrants currently sheltering in hotels. Our parish's children set up a lemonade stand to buy Charlie Cards for the Honduran refugees, they've netted $130 so far after two lemonade stand pop-ups. On a Diocesan and world level, Episcopal Relief and Development exists. It's kinda like UNICEF, not that you give a shit.

See the thing is wealthy people want to be good in this life without doing anything financially suidical like what Jesus preaches. Jesus is G-d himself and he's so laid back that he basically couchsurfs his way to Jersualem and burns money like the Joker during his lifetime on earth. Jesus is similar to the Cynics because of their ascestic, wandering-preacher lifestyle. So what's us, mere humans, supposed to take from that? Because Jesus has the ultimate plot armor, it's not reasonable to infer that Jesus literally wants us to become iterinerant deadbeats. Human beings cannot accomplish anything godly if we're that way. Instead consider that Jesus cultivated you as an arrow in G-d's quiver, as Isaiah. (He has made My mouth like a sharp sword, In the shadow of His hand He has concealed Me; And He has also made Me a sharpened arrow, He has hidden Me in His quiver. - Isaiah 49:2) So if you are well off, then you have a greater responsibility to philanthropy than a person who is only just getting by without going into debt. But God invested you with power and you need guidance on how to administer his Creation.

Jesus would have all of us mend our ways and act as brothers in Christ, respecting and tolerating the differing sects. I'm fed up with this intersectarian Christian bullshit on Kiwi Farms. I believe it's ingenuine as I think most Kiwis are Christmas and Easter Christians at best. Not that I'm judging, I was C&E too from time to time.

That's all great, but as a loving piece of advice, remember the words of St. Ambrose: "You are not making a gift of your possessions to the poor person. You are handing over to him what is his. For what has been given in common for the use of all, you have arrogated to yourself. The world is given to all, and not only to the rich."

Many mere humans responded to the universal call towards perfection through the emulation of the life of Christ, including His povery. Just look at Saint Franci of Assisi and the entire Franciscan order that followed him for proof of that. Now of course poverty is a supererogatory virtue, like chastity, meaning it is obligatory, but above obligatory. It is not necessary for the average faithful. However we do all still have an obligation to embrace Holy Povery within our own live according to our abilities. A wealthy man is capable of being saved, but it is in spite of his wealth. Wealth in and of itself is poisonous to faith. That said, wealth can be used for good, but only inasmuch as it used for the good of the other. This includes financial security. However, a glut of wealth, the amassing of wealth which is excessive or vain, which is untethered from any good, or which is used for the purpose of luxury, which is a vice: in short, the persuit of wealth for wealth's sake, which necessarily has to be there if you attain wealth in the modern world.

I know and live this path by giving alms (like 3-10 dollars) to beggars and by donating me-quality indulgences (eg brownie mix) to the town food bank every time I shop for groceries... It's nice. There's a little barrel in the grocery store to make it easy. You can make symbolic offerings of grains, oil, nutella, Skittles, peanut butter, etc. to the glory of God in the highest. The Jews call it tzedaka, meaning "restoration", and there are many ranks of it. The least one is to give money to someone if they ask for it, the greatest is to be able to give a job to someone who needs work. The concept is similar; when I give alms I am really just giving back money to the man whom it belongs.

OK but we don't all need to be ascetics. and I caution that the ascetic lifestyle is as being drunk; you fast and you get high on endorphins and the you crash and get high again on food and water. Ascetism alone is not sufficient to be saved. We are saved by grace and faith.

Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, and render unto G-d that which is G-d's (Matthew 22:21-22.) At some point in your life you'll figure out which things you wanted for your life was really just the rat race trying to entice you, and what are the really nourishing things in which your soul delights. One must develop the insight to see what part of your life is profane, workaday rat race and what's the stuff you'll remember on your deathbed, and choose to do more of that. If you're rich then some of that is going to include philanthropy of some kind. That, and limiting your children's inheritances to a comfortable, plenty-to-live on amount, not more money than they could spend in a lifetime. That potential cash could go to valuable charitable works, Bill and Melinda Gates style.

Your restraint at the Episcopal swinger's party is admirable. A lot of the ladies are pretty old and fragile.
First rule of Christian fellowship is old ladies don't share their blues if they're in pain.

Kiwifarms unironically led me to Jesus.View attachment 5308529
I was making light with the picture, but I also wasn’t joking. I was a hardcore atheist for most of my life. I embraced an absurdist view of the universe. I was also mired in deep depression and uncertainty and never ever considered that my life might be lacking an important piece of the puzzle.

I won’t give a sappy testimony of exactly how it happened, but after being on this site for a few months and peaking myself on trans shit, I ended up being given a Bible by a distant relative. I read the parable of the prodigal son and was overwhelmed. I really don’t have words for the way it felt. It felt, well, like God was speaking to me. Like God was turning the pages, saying, you want truth? Here it is.

The thing is i have read the Bible before, as an atheist with interest in the archaeological and sociological aspects. I had read these words before, and they did not move me. Then, they did. What changed? Nothing, except myself.

I just don’t think it is a coincidence. I sought the truth, and I was lead to God.
 
Unfortunately this thread has become plagued by a episcopalian heretic and a retard who changes his word salad every other post he makes.
Memes are always the answer to sectarian bickering. If only there were memes during The Troubles.

An excellent case for not letting women in the pulpit, ironically.

For those who don’t know, this poster is a woman.

Why does my sex matter so much to people who disagree with me, eh?

Better an Episcopalian Heretic than a papist goon. Anyway, when did both of you last go to Mass? March 2023 for Easter??? Lmao you’re larping as inquisitors and hardliners, but I question your basic practice.
