And if that’s exploring your boyfriend’s denomination, maybe try it out.

Hmm. I’ve been thinking about it. But I do enjoy the community at my current church.

If you love Christ, Christendom and Christianity you'll love Catholicism

not to mention traditionalism

I feel ignorant of Catholicism tho, I was raised baptist and the closest Catholic Church is like 20 mins away

I’m not Catholic, so I can’t recommend it, but it wouldn’t hurt to see how his congregation is.

Do Baptists honestly think all the other Christains are going to hell

or Prots in general

My church has never preached that

I do know we don’t approve of gays and female preachers.... unlike the Methodists 🤢

Episcopalians make me sad...

American arm of Anglicanism and it's gone just to complete shit.

Honestly the more I see from prots the more I get angered

*me after I consume degenerate content*

any orthodox bros here

Well folks. Starting today, I'm fasting. Won't be consuming jack shit except water and a few crackers in the evening. Doing this for a month.

That's really intense, are you sure that's healthy?

Fasting for a day or two is one thing

So long as you know what the hell you're doing it's fine. Just make sure to get the proper amount of nutrients and don't do shit which exceeds the caloric intake.

Temptation will be a bitch.

If you can manage a prayer, anyone, I'd appreciate it.

@Thomas I'll pray for you

Much obliged.

I know fasting is tough

But it's really healthy both spiritually and mentally

Still waiting to see where I'm supposed to be going in this wheel well that is my anti-climactic life.

Hopefully refrain from something as basic as food will clear my head.

I'll ask God to give you guidance and discerning

You're a good man @Thomas , you're going to make it

I've been asking that for about two weeks now along with forgiveness.

Seems like it's been falling on deaf ears.

My faith is never weakened

as my logical assumption is that God exists.

It doesn't make sense (the universe, everything) without intelligent design to me.

But it seems like no matter how hard I try, and pray, never really lines up. I know he's there, I damn well do.

He's worked miracles all around me, not necessarily to me,

but everywhere that I can see.

I feel him.

But I hear nothing.

God is good, and God is God. He has his own ways of doing things that we can't comprehend because his ways are not out ways.

I'm well aware. That's partly what worries me somewhat.

In the same way that God destined his own son to die,

I believe that similar misfortunes may befall peoples across the world to benefit man in the longterm.

However he might have his way

*Thy will be done.*

I have no way of knowing what's going on in your life specifically, so I can't give a satisfying response, but I will say this: you're right his will be done, and we don't understand it or know how it'll work out in the end, and it's terrifying sometimes.

The mystery of God and his ways is part of why we should have a healthy fear of God

You never need to give a satisfying response, Simon, I don't mean to frustrate you. You tell me exactly what I need to hear. You're kind and genuine.

The fact that you give response at all says something.

Goodnight.

God love you.

Thanks man, don't worry, you didn't frustrate me. You're a solid guy, and I know God is going to get you through whatever it is you're going through.

Goodnight and God love you too

@Thomas praying for you and the rest of the server as well. <:jesus:417536063540559872>

bps still holds enlightenment bs tho

and another fun finding: black death comes from asia, asians are not blamed for the worst disease in human history (for the right reason), although europeans are widely (wrongly) blamed for spreading disease to conquer native americans

but europeans did not delibrately spread disease to native american

but mongolians literally used disease as a weapon when attacking europe

and another fun finding:

actually medieval is a great time and the end of it welcomes absolute monarchy despotism, however, the end of feudal monarchy are described as a great turning point ending the dark age, even the cause (horrible black death) is praised.

Does that come from enlightenment hatred against medieval feudalism and the religion?

and the anti-white hatred in modern progressive history narratives?

Please pray for all the nickers

I need some myself

If anyone is interested, I am reading aloud the entire bible over a 1 year period on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkV8FGKRJQnw1_50XMxZPIg/featured?view_as=subscriber You can follow along and just listen and in one year you will have read the whole bible!

I've read four days so far.

Pray for me fellas. I need to be responsible and wise

No cultural Christians allowed?

Yup

In excelsis Deo, or maybe Gloria Dei/Deo(?) @(((The George Borjas)))

@(((The George Borjas))) okay, this is epic.

Deus Vult is probably the most common and well-known

Yes but the Islamic equivalent to that would be “inshallah”.

fasting

btu its easy because i woke up at 12

Guys convert me to Orthodox Christianity

I want to be able to go to the local Orthodox church and hit on Slav girls

hmm

I mean they pretty based but I believe in purgatory or at least something more than just heaven and hell

just makes sense

why pray for the dead if they have a set fate

Well fellas. I'm still spiritually deaf and blind. Made the decision that fasting wasn't for me. Now I just skip all my meals during the day, and I'm pretty sure that's how I'm going to just live my life. No food during the day, just dinner in the evening.

It gets to a certain point when you scream for God and he doesn't answer that you're more or less just so spiritually and mentally confused that you can't even think straight. I've no righteous clue how to understand.

About ten years of my life, I've asked and pleaded,

through the bible

on my knees,

begging God

to just show me, something,

anything,

to let me know that he was there.

And either I'm blind or he doesn't want me to.

I'm banking on the former, but the latter isn't ruled out of question.

I've recently been asking him what he wants me to do.

I'd do anything

and I mean it

I mean it,

*anything*
