im not sure what the true differences of denominations, but it seems so many of them just make stuff up that isnt supported by scripture or even extra biblical/non canon texts
I don't believe in the Bible, but traditional five-point Calvinism is the only doctrine that makes sense if you're a Christian. God chose who gets saved at the start of the universe, everyone else goes to hell forever and ever, and that's an awesome thing because anything God does is glorious.
but this is not SCRIPTURAL. calvinism in a lot of cases completely delete free will out of the equation and makes the supposition that everything is pre-destined and/or god intervenes or causes every action and thing to happen
thats not backed by scripture
None of the silly "oh yeah this dude in Rome with a funny hat somehow speaks with the voice of God (except when he doesn't) and is the ruler of the church" like the Catlickers have. Like you can't possibly tell me that has anything to do with the Bible, I mean that's why he calls himself "Pontifex Maximus" just like the title some Roman pagan priests and the Roman Emperor had.
Catholicism is pure paganism. al they did was take pagan/roman iconography and pasted jesus and mary over the ideas.
the catholics worship angels and saints (something specifically forbidden in scripture) and they are obsessed with Mary. dont get me wrong. Mary is important. But she is a mortal girl. she was a bit of an anti-eve (sometimes called a "type" of eve), where eve was rebellious and did not listen to God, Mary was the humble servant and did everything god asked. Mary was a mortal servant of God, nothing in scripture denies this or puts mary as any kind of status otherwise. She is not "queen of heaven", she is not god's wife, she was not immaculately conceived.
obviusly the pagan connotations of christmas, saints, etc. Also, jesus straight up said "call no man father"....so the first thing catholics do is call the head of their church "POPE" (aka Papa, aka Father)
modern catholics are also buddy-buddy with islam these days and are saying god favors corporatism and false gods (climate "science") and are on board with faggots and baby sacrifice.
i am not 100% sure on early catholicism, havent done much research on it pre-Constantine....but constantine definitely made it into the cult we have today.
Is it also inescapably fucking correct given basic Christian teachings about God? Also yes.
have to double post because the site is broken all the time and won't let me tag you in my other post but, can you explain some of what you mean?
