I got a question: What do Catholics believe gets them saved? Just wondering since a lot of you seem to be genuine Catholics at least

I can’t tell based off google whether or not they believe in a works based salvation or not. It’s probably more nuanced than I think it is. Could someone explain?

You must have valid baptism to initially be saved, after that you simply must not be in mortal sin

True

Be baptized in the catholic church, and dont die in a state of mortal sin

Does anyone know of any other pocket sized DR bibles?

I want to see if you guys reccomend any others before I spend 50$ on the baronius press one

I use online stuff mainly

I know but I want a physical copy lol

Also what does "retypesetting" mean?

Because thats what the baronius press does

Unless I read what they said wrong

I think it means they re typed the original written texts

Cool

Does anyone know of any that could fit in my pocket tho

Actually that one probably could

I have the Oxford pocket bible but I don't know if thats what you want

id honestly go kjv or nkjv

the other translations are contorted to modern english

next thing u know the next one theyll be using that pronoun bullcrap

True

The one I got is an 1899 version of the DR bible

i have an nkjv and a kjv

Where can I get that version @itslennytime

@Mark R ask your religious questions here

There is a spiritual side to man

Better to follow God than something else

I'll let others answer why Christianity is right, because my answer isn't well thought out beyond "it's historically accurate, and therefore correct". Having values is meaningless if your life is also meaningless. Your values mean nothing, as does everything else you do because your life and death are effectively the same; without a life beyond your worldly being, you exist only to suffer.

well its philosophically accurate too

christianity has the right conception of God, unlike any pagan religion

christianity specifically is right since our God became man for our redemption, fulfilling the prophecies and restoring man

but yeah its historically right too

thats just not an autistic enough approach for me

How do I respond an atheist argument about how “religion keeps humans from progress” or points like such

what do they mean by progress

like to make all our men into women and all our women into men?

@Alisbra

The context ig is at the points where “secular advancements (or advancement in general) were held back by religion”, i.e. science advancement, political growth,
