And Muslims are just as bad, worshipping just as much of a perverted gospel as Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses
I am surprised that Islam just trys to use jesus and be like "nahhh brahh he was our profit he was definetly here for allah" shit like that
Even the devil can quote scripture for his own purposes
Simple as that
indeed
Its sad that majority Christian nations are letting in massive numbers of nonbelievers like this and laying down like they're their doormats
Perhaps its the wave of "baby-Jesus" watered-down Christianity
Joel Osteen type shit
Where God loves you how you are and hates the sin, not the sinner
And God has no wrath
That, or the increasing wave of Secularism and Atheism/Agnosticism
Just as much of a plague as heresies and false gospels
If not more, because it's "backed by science"
yeah its very annoying but us believers must go through serious struggle.
Besides the pope not taking a harsh stance on it
As Europe has a large catholic "presence"
But then again, how many of those catholics are truly devoted?
Quite a lot less than one would believe, I'd imagine
Granted, I'd prefer to stay out of Christian infighting so I won't start ranting about Catholics too much
Seeing as a Baptist like me has some choice words
I believe in orthodoxy and I still am not baptized because I guess I just havent been ready but I believe in the teachings.
Honestly, the ideas of John Calvin as far as communities go aren't that bad of an idea in theory
Where the ideal community is centered around the church and all people of the community are members of the church
Issue is that it'd be just as much of a breeding ground for corruption as any other
A great example is the massachusetts bay colony
They had a witch scare and boom
Salem witch trials
In the spiritual section of Calvin's philosophies, however, that's where a large portion of Baptists place reasoning
There and parts of Luther's 95 theses
Of course, there's more, but there always is when talking of Christian Denominations
What I really cant stand is churches who put females and lesbians in these preaching roles and act like its fine
Prots are not the brightest
There are some protestant denominations which have gone extremely sour
Or non-denominationals too
Yknow, the traditional "Mega-Church" that has thousands of attendees and has a TV broadcast
and teaches watered-down theology
The problem is they curve god around their life and not the other way round
If you make the church more like the world to attract attendees, you are teaching heresies and lies
Exactly
And the thing about the church
Is that people go to IT
