das amazin;

Awesome!

very awesome indeed

Ik this will sound retarded but it's a Schizopost but what if the pope is actually 8d chessing us and is secretly a deeply conservative Christian that is getting all the liberals and progressives to follow Christianity until the church gets really powerful again and then smite all of the sinners to hell?

Sounds a little retarded lol

I don’t see how the Catholic Church (or more specifically the Pope) has gotten any actual political influence in recent years

Or how getting more left-leaning egalitarians into Christianity will cause the Cath Church to become any more powerful

I’m a Prot but I’d say purging the progressives from the Church is far better

Progressive subversion exists in Prot churches as well to the point where you have entire denominations of false Christian doctrine and outright heresy

Ik but it'd be pretty funny if that was the case

i dont think so

he isnt supposed to masquerade as a heretic in order to "purge" heretics from it later

thats just all prot churches though

Untrue bro wtf

Plenty of prot churches I know that don’t tolerate sin the way more progressive modernized churches do

prots are heretics man. theres no distinction between good heretics and bad

Prots built the greatest nation in the world nibba

<:gigachad:728847841111441408>

i dont remember prots building europe

America

And England was Prot and look at the empire that they had

it wasnt always prot

not that an empire is any reflection of the truth they hold. protestants just arent christian in the traditional sense

Martin Luther be like: “yea lemme translate and create the German Bible so the masses can actually read for themselves how much of a biblical basis the Cath Church has”

***masses proceed to not become cath***

martin luther be like "yeah lemme remove these 7 books that i disagree with, schism with the church as a heretic and claim to be my own pope"

also the bible was already in english before luther did his translation. his translation was full of errors because he wasnt a translation scholar

I’ve heard about those 7 books and from what I understand. It has certain aspects that just straight up contradict what the Bible says

from what i understand it was always considered holy scripture, and never was there any distinction between them and other books by the historic jews or early church

luther had no authority to remove them and there is never a point in the churches history where he wouldnt be condemned for what he did

I’d have to read more on it tbh but some of the Cath practices like dipping literal children into water for the sake of baptism sounds a little cringe to me

we are told to baptise for salvation

of course we dip the children

That and the idea that baptism is necessary for salvation

Ye

theres no historic or traditional reason to not

this idea told to us by christ

its 100% biblical and it hasnt been interpreted any other way since the pelagians

who think works will save you alone btw

Baptism is confirmation that you have repented for your sins but that will not save you. Faith in God is what will

no baptism is for the remission of sins
