> What the difference between Catholic and Jews during Jesus time then?
@DeButcher Not much
The Apostles still considered themselves Jews, and just followed Jesus' teaching

Wait so
You're saying Bible is more important because Jesus came to destroy Jewish culture, and because Jewish culture emphasized tradition, tradition is less important?

Just trying to understand where you're coming from

I wouldn't say that Catholicism and Judaism are similar to compare, even though Christianity is certainly rooted in Judaism

I know, but you're connecting them with one thin strand (tradition); I don't find your claim very strong that tradition isn't as important because it is one of the things we have in common with Judaism

You're right, it does; however, it requires tradition to adequately interpret and "use" the Bible

Sure
Let's take Genesis, in the Creation story. We obviously can't take this story seriously, with the earth being created in 7 "days". We need tradition to interpret how creation happened; for example, how Eve was created from Adam.

Time doesn't exist with God, he only exists in the eternal now.

There was no time to work with

That's
Different😄

Where does that belief come from?

Ah
I will confess, I know nothing about Mormon beliefs

@DeButcher I read it

The creation of night and day

Do you believe that Jesus came to North America?

Why's that?

Ah
Is there any relation to the Bible or not?

How did Jesus reach America?

It's not a story of how the world was created. Genesis is a theological account of how the world was created, and there is no science contained in it.

We can't rely on it literally, and we need science for how the world was created scientifically and tradition to interpret Genesis

@mathgrant what is the furry culture exactly, at its core? People who like anthropomorphic animals dressing up in costumes?

Ah, thank you

> so i just found out about the caretaker album
@JJ04 that thing is terrifying

Also, anyone here listen to rap?

I believe abortion is awful and always wrong :)

> when your religion wants you to respect someone it's time to leave it. i treat the pope as if he's an old man in the streets.

> a true religion is not centered to a person, that's why i'm no longer catholic, i devoted my life to a God, which one? whoever respond or whoever made me.
Catholicism isnt centered on the pope if thats what you're saying

> @MKSmash yes but they treat him like a saint or something. which does not sit well with me, since jesus said himself if you are in my service you should be treated like the lowest of the low.
Lol I see what you're trying to say. We don't treat him like a saint, we treat him as someone chosen by God to lead the church.

Nope, not what the pope said, common misunderstanding. He was saying that gays shouldnt be treated different from other people, still with the church's previous teaching in mind (i.e. no gay marriage, gay intercourse etc)

Well, you should respect priests bishops pope because of their position. Could you cite where Jesus says not to give special treatment to his disciples? And why they arent deserving of respect?

> when mary was visited by an angel to tell her that she will bare a baby that will be the mesiah. she bow her head and took a knee you know what the angel did?
>
> the angel were scared that a human being is giving him special treatment and told her i'm nothing but a servant all praise should be pointed to our God.
this is incorrect. The anged told her to simply not be afraid of them., for Mary was obviously scared.

She never bowed her head in praise, or took a knee for gabriel

Excluding the fact that there was still no "special treatment" offered to Mary, angels are actually lower than humans

We are made in the image and likeness of God, angels are not

Maybe nothing like that

Give them the proper titles

Treat em like a boss at work

That's true. This is not because God or the prophets wanted it, but because God knew that people would mistreat him.

This is not what they deserved, just how they ended up being treated for saying God's word

What a compelling argument

So you'll go up to the Pope saying "Wuss good homie?" while holding out your hand to fist bump? 🤔

🙄 The money goes to repairing old churches

God does not give special treatment to anyone. Us humans do

Well, I certainly disagree with what you're saying to him lol. And I don't think that's an unlikely thing for him to say. If he said it, I may agree. Idk at the moment given this is hypothetical. However, I dont see how this comment relates to special treatment. It seems to me what you're trying to say is: "Fuck the church, I'm #1"

> Catholics are not Christians
@Bro bruh

I'm done with this idiocy

> what is a preist supposed to do if somebody confesses something illegal?
@DrStrange77 they don't tell anyone, no matter what it is, because of the Seal of Confession, which prevents them from saying anything that someone confesses to them

I play geometry dash and I've never heard of em 😂

Jesus did suffer from emotions of man, but his were aligned with the will of the Father, allowing them to be guided in the right direction. Therefore he did not objectify a woman down to her body parts, and was not a boobs man or ass man.

Its not a sin to be gay, its a sin to for 2 people of the same gender to be married and for two people of the same gender to have "sex"

yes. That verse is referring to sex, not homosexuality in general.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by habitual homosexuality? Because from the way you phrased it, it sounds like a punishment?

Like I said, it was about sex not homosexuality in and of itself. This example was just used to show how everyone in the city was bad.4

However, you will be held accountable for your actions so I wouldn't advise doing whatever you want ; )

Catholic

Does any channel generate more dispute than this one?

I mean, kfc IS pretty good 😄

Whaaat Chick Fil A is great

lmao

People don't want to follow religion because it means change in their cushy lives. They're far too lazy and priveleged to consider someone above them and to act on someone else's will.

China has lost a fraction of the people we've lost from covid, and their economy has surged

Hmm

🤔

I vote for the fireworks

Nice video, Jimmy Akin is a great apologist

Yes

What bad stuff did you hear?

Nope

We got more books

The biggest difference is that we believe in scripture and tradition, not just scripture, and faith and works, not just faith

Now you've interested everyone👀

How did I know

Not sure about best ever, but he's pretty dang good

Not entirely true

We fast on Fridays in honor of God, but we can have meat if we make some other sort of sacrifice (i.e. praying a rosary or novena)

I love meat, but sometimes you gotta sacrifice

Yes, with an aim to hopefully become more self-disciplined and faithful as a result

Uh, what? They're not that similar

Only the way they celebrate mass is

As far as ik, they're a lot different doctrinally

Off to Christmas Eve mass

mmm doubt it

Yes

They are

Boulevard of broken dreams?

hateful!!!

Yes

The pope is not saying gay marriage is fine and that they should be allowed to perform in a mutilated form of intercourse, just that they should be respected as human beings and not treated unfairly.

My gosh

How retarded can you get

RIP Chester

Tell your mom that she's awesome

Yup

@mightytrump I need help. An idiot friend of mine thinks Kill em All is the greatest metallica album. In fact he said, and I quote, "damage inc and disposal heroes are trash." How can I convince him of his wrongness?

ugh fine lets do this

what topic would you like to go over first

i was doing that with replies to refer to specific points that i thought were kind of passive-aggresive
because discord makes you type something to enter a text

in any case

we dont worship saints, nor do we have "idols"
we simply ask them to pray for us
just like you might ask your friend to pray for you when you're going through a tough time
