Change my mind
I don't want to change your mind because it is not worth changing. I am talking to Doctor Anon because I believe he is redeemable.
Doc, here is another example:
@Emanon Baptists don't want to be associated with Protestants so stop lumping us in with them
Baptists are prots whether they claim to be or not.
Anyway
Baptists are arguably as or more traditional than Catholics
@Not as Depressed Gaddafi Christianity saved Europe from an islamic invasion before...

Fucking heretic
In most languages you have past and present tense.
Sometimes future tense.
oops, I mean singular and plural.
@grilomoto just remember Christianity is super similar to Islam
In most languages there are just singular and plural forms.
In Biblical Hebrew there was another one, called dual.
@Not as Depressed Gaddafi all Abrahamic religions are similar
Singular is exactly one, dual is exactly two, and plural is anything more than two.
Both believe in a god that will send you to hell, for not believing in a god and a prophet that will give you an eternal life in the sky
"Elohim," the word for God, is actually the plural form
but singular and dual are also used throughout Genesis
this is not translated into any other language. They all only use singular.
Because Christianity is monotheistic
So protestants with their sola scriptura "oh I can read it in any language and interpret it 100% for myself" miss out on a lot
they also miss out on purgatory because of this
Christianity is monotheistic but you still are not getting the full meaning.
God is above numerical representation.
he surpasses it
he also surpasses gender
he is referred to at various times throughout the Bible in masculine and feminine terms
but translations leave this out as well
but protestants think "hurr durr muh KJV is the best version"
I will go to bed now
"I can get 100% of the meaning reading my intentionally mistranslated 400 year old copy"
They will say "where is purgatory in the Bible? I don't see it."
It IS in there but you can't SEE that because it doesn't translate into English.
@Emanon ??? I don't read KJV
ANY translated version
