/christianity/ - Christian Theology & Philosophy

Well since this board is still a burning pile of garbage and I can't delete my post, I'll share the answer I found elsewhere on a halfchan /pol/ Christian thread:

>We must remember that we are in a parable, which cannot be expected in all things to agree with what it is brought to illustrate. This part of the parable doth chiefly instruct us in these two things:

>1. That it is the genius of wicked men to lay the blame of their miscarriages upon others, oft times upon God himself.

>2. Men in their excuses which they fancy, instead of excusing will but accuse and condemn themselves.

>3. Usury or loaning money at interest is strictly forbidden by the Bible, Ex 22:25-27 De 23:19,20. Even a rate as low as one per cent interest was disallowed, Ne 5:11.

>This servant had already told two lies. First he said the master was an austere or harsh man. This is a lie for the Lord is merciful and gracious. Next he called his master a thief because he reaped where he did not sow. Finally the master said to him sarcastically why did you not add insult to injury and loan the money out at interest so you could call your master a usurer too! If the servant had done this, his master would have been responsible for his servant's actions and guilty of usury.

God bless.

He absolutely nails the progression of the globohomo agenda in the third video. Based.

I have never heard of this movement and I suspect most other western Christians haven't either, which says enough about their evangelistic efforts to dismiss it in my opinion.

It's mostly Episcopal churches and episcopi vagantes that decide to join for whatever reason, they have to insert the epiklesis, remove filioque and use leavened bread and give communion in both kinds and basically remove any post schism saints, it's not like uniatism where they can keep their traditions intact.

>>11886

>Communion of the Western Orthodox Churches or the British Orthodox Church

They only pretend to be Orthodox. They are orientals who recognize only 3 Ecumenical councils. Christ has one nature which is neither human, nor divine but mixture of both. In particular they deny the following definition of the 4th Ecumenical council:

We, then, following the holy Fathers, all with one consent, teach men to confess one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, the same perfect in Godhead and also perfect in manhood; truly God and truly man, of a reasonable [rational] soul and body; consubstantial [co-essential] with the Father according to the Godhead, and consubstantial with us according to the Manhood; in all things like unto us, without sin; begotten before all ages of the Father according to the Godhead, and in these latter days, for us and for our salvation, born of the Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, according to the Manhood; one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, only begotten, to be acknowledged in two natures, inconfusedly, unchangeably, indivisibly, inseparably; the distinction of natures being by no means taken away by the union, but rather the property of each nature being preserved, and concurring in one Person and one Subsistence, not parted or divided into two persons, but one and the same Son, and only begotten, God the Word, the Lord Jesus Christ; as the prophets from the beginning [have declared] concerning Him, and the Lord Jesus Christ Himself has taught us, and the Creed of the holy Fathers has handed down to us.

"I want to get out of secularism asap as it's a sinking ship."

The hell are you talking about? Seculars are rising every year.. the ship is sailing just fine.

A book does not prove that their idea of a God is true. There is no logic to that statement. I can claim the same thing with any book given that logic. I just came here because I'm surprised a place like 8chan actually has a christian board of all things.

>>11308

>trinity

Agustinian approach may work for you OP. This is not strictly agustinian but analogies of the mind worked for me:

Think of a man, or a man's mind. Clearly, a man is one and indivisible (no multiple personality disorder) but he is not unifaceted either. The man decapitating his enemies wth his sword and the man playing and smiling with his child are the same man, but are cleary not the same man either. Christ is one facet, the Father is another.

>the bible

A reasonable explanation is that the assembly of all believers, the "ekklessia", guided by God, declared to have faith that the Bible (which is not A book, but a mosaic of many books and layered interpretations) is the true word of God. Hence why the catholic, orthodox and protestant bibles are slightly divergent between themselves as their faithful disagree on contentious points. To a greater degree, that can be applied to the marcionite Bible and the gnostic Bible, vastly more divergent, and the jewish bible, even more divergent. You can't be certain of it, but that's what the christians have faith to be the truth (in their cath/prot/orthodox flavour, even marcionite and jewish) that will help them inherit the world to come. By their fruits they shall be judged.

>What are your thoughts on this faith?

According to St. Nicholas of Japan, "the Buddhism is the best among the pagan religions, Herculean pillars of the human efforts to make a religion by following the dark remnants of God-revealed truth preserved among the nations after the scattering at Babylon". It should be noted, however, that the Buddhism has many different forms because it is highly adaptable to the customs of the various nations and some forms of Buddhism are far from being "the best among the pagan religions".

>>11805

> christ religion give focus on the world outside while Buddhism look inside

It seems this is true only for the major types of Western Christianity. The Orthodox Christianity does not have outward focus. "For behold, the kingdom of God is inside of you" (Luke 17:21) and "pay attention that you do not practice you righteousness in front of the people to be seen by them" (Matthew 6:1).

There is some truth in the Buddhist theory about the cause of the suffering. Moreover, there are some similarities between the practices according the Noble Eightfold Path of Buddhism and the so called "mortification of the passions" of the Orthodox Christianity. Notice that while the word "passion" in the modern language means "strong emotion, anger, lust", originally it meant "suffering" (wherefore the expressions "passion of Christ" and "Passion Week"). This is because our passions make us suffer. While in the Western Christianity people restrain from sins in order to obey God's commandments and be justified at the Last judgment, in the Orthodox Christianity the God's commandments are like medicine prescription. While in the Western Christianity salvation means admission in the heavens, in the Orthodox Christianity salvation means healing from all suffering and becoming able to have bliss. While in the Western Christianity the suffering of the souls in the hell is punishment by God, in the Orthodox Christianity the suffering of the souls in the hell is caused by their oPost too long.

> Buddha NEVER said there is no god or confirm there is god, he just said it's not importance for have happiness of mind

And here we come to the fundamental difference between Buddhism and all forms of Christianity. The Buddhism does the best that can be done in order to save without God the man. True salvation without God, however, is impossible. Therefore, the Buddhist path is a path leading to self-destruction. According to Buddhism any desire leads to suffering, any attraction leads to suffering, etc., therefore the Buddhism teaches us to destroy our emotions, desires, etc., to destroy absolutely anything which makes you your very self.

I am unaware of any official statement about this in the Western Christianity, but the popular theory is that some of the faculties of our soul are good and others are bad. For example the love is good and the anger is bad.

In the Orthodox Christianity all faculties of our soul are created by God and good. It is not our ability to desire, to be attracted, to hate, etc. what causes us to suffer but rather the bad state of these faculties. The men are detached from God, they are immersed in worldly matters. Therefore, we desire what we can not have, we want to do what we can not do, we hate what we can not fight. We are totally unable to transcend above the world, our state is hopelessness. Probably the best one can do in such a state is what the Buddhism proposes. This, however, is not nearly enough. Therefore, Christ, the Son of God descends and comes to us in order to give us a path leading to true salvation.

One of the pillars in the Orthodox theology is that the descent of the Son of God is not just in appearance in order to communicate some theory. The Son of God, being eternal God is born as man and actually becomes man. In Christ the human becomes linked with the divine, his human mind enlightened with divine knowledge, his human will perfectly aligned with his divine will, his human emotions in divinely perfect state. Through the union in Christ of God and man (including the death) the descent of the Holy Spirit and the unionPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Genuinely one of the worst paganisms.

The praise for detachedness means it's completely lacking in love.

>Can you help save many souls from destruction at /ran21/?

Do I know what policy is correct? No, I don't. Do I have a haughty mind? Yes, I have a haughty mind which thinks it knows what is good and what is bad. If I go at /ran21/ I will be a blind man who doesn't realize his blindness but asks the others to follow him.

Do I have strong love for everyone? No and how can I have love for the others when I don't have love even for myself and always harm myself by sinning. If I go at /ran21/ I will love those who think like me and I will hate those who don't think like me.

Even if He doesn't, we are at least one decade closer. There is still hope.

You do neither because truth is knowable. We have general revelation and we have special revelation. The various cosmological arguments logically prove the existence of a creator, have you not encountered those yet? The best writer on this is William Lane Craig.

The only condition for the holy ghost to indwell you is salvation, and you are saved when you ask for it through Jesus.

Through prayer comes certainty, there is a heterodox gnosis and orthodox gnosis. We know this from the witness of the saints such as Meister Eckhart, Jakob Boehme, Gregory Palamas and so forth each corresponding to a specific Christian tradition. It isn't easy but so is philosophy, science and so forth.

Antizionism is not the same as antisemitism. Both those born as a jew and those that are of the Jewish faith are our brethren in humanity. All forms of racism are abhorrent and inherently antichristian. Repent.

And to the other anons who say otherwise, feck off idiots, of course we’re not talking about those who genuinely converted (which are very few as many who do claim to be converted still can’t let go of the Old Testament laws completely or are Zionists) and we’re not saying we shouldn’t preach the gospel to them.
