@(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Hug god ♥
Sorry if im late, u need to stop looking at Christianity as a religion rather look at it as a relationship to God.
@DeButcher im not sure if I want to go back to Christianity im thinking about maybe going to Buddhism
I may not go back to religion at all tbh
Being a teenager is the time for exploration
May i ask why Buddhism? @(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Hug god ♥
Just feels like the right calling
And if im not mistaken monks are known for being peaceful and accepting, id like to be that
> He recently endorsed Same Sex marriage in the sense of civil unions, not within the catholic church. Two things can be true at once. (1) Catholics do not agree with gay marriage from the religious union of marriage, but (2) from a civil/governmental standpoint, it doesn't make sense to deny the right to be married in the eyes of the government.
@Froski
He might also be the False Prophet
One religion i wont touch is Muslims
😂
What do u mean by peaceful and accepting or whats your definition @(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Hug god ♥
@DeButcher honestly I'm not awake enough to say coherent sentences rn so idk
Ok we can continue the conversation another time @(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Hug god ♥
Ok, sorry im pretty much drunk and high off my ass when im tired
But I dont drink or do drugs
No worries
Is this talking about how several denominations don’t actually follow the lord’s teachings or what?
Like it appears Catholics have added more methods to get saved that aren’t in the Bible @Christo Clark
@Captain Riker Catholics don't worship the most high God of the bible.
Islam and Catholics worship the same god.
> Is this talking about how several denominations don’t actually follow the lord’s teachings or what?
@Captain Riker The difference between true and false conversion.
Makes sense
I’ve always known Catholics didn’t worship god
Protestant best
THAT'S NOT TRUE!!!
Does the Bible kinda confirm magic is real??
Not as you are asking about. It describes rebellion as witchcraft in the new testament. In the old testament soothsaying (asking for wisdom from the dead) is outlawed.
Most magicians (pharaoh's court magicians) practiced soothsaying and the art of deception to perform feats of "magic."
There are no magicians throwing fireballs or shooting lightning as far as my knowledge and understanding goes.
Note: I have not read, nor am I not referencing, the apocrypha (false books), and most of the time people say the Bible confirms magic, they are referring to these books.
*The apocrypha are written by authors who either lie about their identity , have dates origin that contradict their own timeline, or contradict the cannon scripture.
Also, events such as the parting of the Red Sea, fire from the sky, a staff turned into a snake and then back to a staff, are done by God, just through the person preforming the action.
Ok, Thanks.

@Flint Ansdeal
Yes
What do you mean by it though?
But not the magic of today
Magic today is mostly illusion
There is such a thing in the migration period of England that is wands and staffs inscribed with futhork runes, believed with the ability to cast spells and alter people’s free will, I wander if this magic did exist but was done away with because it was sin...
Same with the Scandinavian countries and even today remote places that still haven’t heard god.
