Well. I might consider orthodox faith one day. who knows.
I always approached it differently
Although I can’t be mad at them, I do listen to Gregorian chants on occasion
more like
"understand it and choose it" instead of
"follow it like everyone around"
You have a discerning spirit
following something without understanding or finding it true is worth little to none imo
Dabbing on the RCC
Just have children and pass on your values
No need for a church for that but it still works regardless
And tends to be easier
Well. I can understand the practical function of having something "stored and backed up" in a form of architecture, libraries, books
I cant however understand why to strip people of what they should poses
and make it into a big church ruled by somebody else
they should gather anywhere to ever show off that they can do that
they should follow what they find true
and they COULD gather if they found it something to do at the moment, rational, like what...
an important decision to be made
I actually have no idea how orthodox live
I never met one tbh
Neither have I
Met some online
They tend to have anime pfps
oh shit actually
the one I met was baptist
an anime pfp too

@Doctor Anon where does paul call the jews the enmies
Romans 2:9
Romans 2:27
Romans 11:28
Revelation 3:9
**Romans 2:9 - Good News Translation (GNT)**
```Dust
<9> There will be suffering and pain for all those who do what is evil, for the Jews first and also for the Gentiles. ```
**Romans 2:27 - Good News Translation (GNT)**
```Dust
<27> And so you Jews will be condemned by the Gentiles because you break the Law, even though you have it written down and are circumcised; but they obey the Law, even though they are not physically circumcised. ```
**Romans 11:28 - Good News Translation (GNT)**
```Dust
<28> Because they reject the Good News, the Jews are God's enemies for the sake of you Gentiles. But because of God's choice, they are his friends because of their ancestors. ```
**Revelation 3:9 - Good News Translation (GNT)**
```Dust
<9> Listen! As for that group that belongs to Satan, those liars who claim that they are Jews but are not, I will make them come and bow down at your feet. They will all know that I love you. ```
*look at this dude*
Romans 11 : 28 ---> **but because of God's choice, they are his friends because of their ancestors. **
Romans 2 : 27 is about the circumcision of no avail, how ordinance without Christ is useless - not calling jews enemies
Romans 11 : 28 actually is in a position where it means the opposite, strangely enough Anon 🤔 if you look at Romans 11:26-29
and Romans 2 : 9 does not echo it either, as it is a contingent phrase for all who do evil, see Romans 2:8-11
**Romans 11:26-29 - King James Version (KJV)**
```Dust
<26> And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: <27> For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. <28> As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes. <29> For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. ```
**Romans 2:8-11 - King James Version (KJV)**
```Dust
<8> But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, <9> Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; <10> But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: <11> For there is no respect of persons with God. ```
Revelation 3:9 and Revelation 2:9 speak of the false churches in Smyrna and Philadelphia, in Asia Minor
**Revelation 3:9 - King James Version (KJV)**
```Dust
<9> Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. ```
**Revelation 2:9 - King James Version (KJV)**
```Dust
<9> I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. ```
masquerading as the apostolic church and the true descent of the 'spiritual' jew
