Doubt we have any Atheist/Non-Trinitarian groypers here
Agreed
> And it's funny because I go to a Catholic school
@mrspiderforeman so wait you go to catholic school but you pretend to be an atheist at home?
are you baptised at least?
I don't pretend to be an atheist, I still pray twice a day at home just my family members don't know about it
and I am baptized
@mrspiderforeman damn that's based as fuck
@mrspiderforeman I'm sure you already know this but make sure that if you are asked whether or not you are Christian you affirm it
Thats super important
Because if you deny Christ He denies you in heaven
I don't think I've denied Christ yet besides when I was a cringe atheist
Thats good
I mean since you converted that is forgiven now
Does anyone know the bible verse that says that someone does not have to follow Jewish customs to be accepted into heaven
I don't know it off the the top of my head but I think its in Galatians
I just read it a few days ago
Galatians is pretty short so it shouldn't take too long to find
15 “We who are Jews by birth and not sinful Gentiles 16 know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.
Yup
@Indra Can one of yall give me a rundown on the differences between Catholicism vs Orthodox vs Protestantism?
Hoo boy that’s a long discussion.
Which do you want to know abkut first?
Ok well lemme give context to my question...
Btw I’ll clarify I’m not an expert on the Orthodox faith and would always point to the clergy for your best bet.
I was raised protestant, my family was not any particular denomination, we used to attend a baptist church but left due to some argument that my parents had with the leaders and then we went to a Presbyterian church(it wasnt like the liberal type) but eventually left that(well my parents did and in turn me) over doctrinal issues, I think this was due to it being too calvinistic, and now we do attend this other church that seems to be baptist(they do baptize people) but afaik they dont openly call themselves "baptist".
So right now I consider myself non-denominational.
and I do want to say I am rather ignorant on the particular Catholicism and Orthodox.
So you want to know what Catholicism and Orthodxy are, eh?
I am a bit hesitant about following any particular denomination atm primarily because I am rather ill-informed and dont want to be led astray
You seem to have had a similar upbringing to me. I was raised as some sort of Evangelical/Baptist mix.
Well, friend, the issue is that all denominations are man-made.
Baptists only go back to 1610.
Yeh kinda evangelical/baptist
Presbyterians to about the 1600s.
Non-denominational Christianity is ony about 120ish years only.
But do you know how old God’s Church is? Almost 2,000.
That’s what helped me leave the Prots is knowing that my faith wouldn’t be recognized by my ancestors.
My 5x great grandfather was not a Christian Zionist, for example. He never lived to see that sort of doctrine in Christendom.
Well I guess you could say I am a evangelical/baptist but since I am not sure what the denom of the church we currently go to I just say I am non-denom
So, enough on that.
You want to know the EOC/RCC and their differences, yes?
