not an argument

he saying to hold no one above god

where does He say that

not to literally not call anyone "father"

He literally

is talking about the pharisees

and says "don't call anyone rabbi [master], because one is your master even Christ, and call no man "father" because one is your FatheR"

what he literally says does not matter

clearly talking about the pharisees

>what he literally says does not matter

are you serious?

I am so glad to be Protestant

A Catholic once told me that the pope was the representation of God in flesh. I dont know too much about mainstream Christianity because they are too pagan for my tastes

you cant interpret it exactly as it is said. you have to understand the meaning behind it

thats not true about the pope

He literally is talking about pharisees

and their exesses

yes he is

and how they demand too much glory

yep.

and says "don't call anyone rabbi or father" in that context

so it's about spiritual authorities

yes

you can still call your priest father

I want a religion of the bible, not of stupid men. I grew up in a cult where the so called leaders don't know shit about the bible.

no!

Because He just said not to!

not literally

You can't call your priest "rabbi" or "father" because those are forbidden

I'll get the context

But

<@&350743889667424256>

seriously, take it to <#356277996274843658>

As soon as I saw the religion I was in try to get me to swear allegiance to an earthly organisation, I was like "nope, only God/Jesus"

"Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant."

God is fake

here's the context

the church is of God. it was the one church founded by Jesus

<@&350743889667424256>

“And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” Whoever asked where in the Bible it mentions the creation of a pope there’s the quote

How do you people genuinely believe in a Christian god?

Or any god of a religion humans made up

I tell you, you are petra, and on this petros I will build my church

petra = small stone

petros = bedrock

I believe in 🅱agan gods

Jesus is the foundation stone, He's talking about Peter's declaration of faith a verse earlier

Peter was the first pope

Upon him the church was built

"For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."

- Paul

so who is the foundation here?

Jesus, not Peter

The context there doesnt change anything. "call no man your father upon the earth" would immply you cant call your own father father

@Rocktomato do you genuinely believe in the Christian god?

"And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;"

Yes

its all about the meaning behund it, not the actual words

The Christian God actually exists BGN

Lol

look into the OT prophecies

@BGN Did you unironically read "The God Delusion"

I can go through them with you if you are seriously curious

>still pinging me

I go to a catholic university

We're just going to go in circles with this Eust

@BGN

>Getting triggered over being pinged

I'm gonna respectfully end this debate

@Rocktomato Do you believe there is any life outside of earth?

@BGN Your teacher isn't a manlet is he

No

Ah

Unlike Christianity we have no evidence

Jesus was a space alien

So out of the 10x10^23 planets you don't think there's any other life besides here on earth?

Not until we have evidence for it

1000 000 000 000 000 000 00000

honestly who cares about alien life?

its a waste of time to worry about it

Disagree

we have our own problems on earth

@BGN Consider the fact that if they are real they're most likely just cellular life.

it doesnt matter if there is life out there

And I think it's quite foolish to believe there isn't anything out there either

it doesnt affect us

It may eventually

in 1,000,000 years maybe

It's kind of like 10 years ago "oh North Korea is a joke, they're no threat" but they did become one eventually

It’s either take the chance that nothing is out there and if you’re wrong you’re burning in hell or just believe and repent, it doesn’t take much and go to heaven if there is one
