My grand parents, while not terrible people, were convinced by the Word of Faith movement. Which was started by Kenneth Hagin.

lots of good people get led into some goofy stuff, my wife grew up Seventh Day Adventist Church of God

I've seen a lot of terrible things in the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement.

I even worked in a mega-church in my late teens.

Saw a lot of corruption there.

yeah, if clergy arent held to a vow of poverty, i instantly discount them tbh

Million dollar deals behind closed doors while the church members lived off welfare.

While asking the church members for more money.

Ha

"IF YOU ONLY GIVE MORE OF YOUR PAYCHECK, GOD WILL BLESS YOU AND YOU TOO CAN BE A MILLIONARE FOR CHRIST!!!"

the reason Roman priests wear collars, something I like, is because it marks them as a servant of not only God, but of the people. Clergy are to serve, the people do not serve the clergy

most Orthodox priests have a real day job

monks in monasteries make furniture, paint icons, grow a lot of their own food, do odd jobs for the townspeople etc

Clergy are to serve, in poverty and chastity

I've always admired that kind of clergy.

its the only legitimate kind

Surely.

Russian Orthodoxy ftw

heh

truth

Third Rome or bust

^

Idk the first 2 romes were pretty LIT too

It's rather sad, I watch a lot of these Pentecostal people wait around for the Pre-Trib rapture to take place while doing little to nothing for their community.

the rapture is the biggest bullshit heresy i can imagine

Why invest in your locality if Jesus is coming back any day now?

exactly, its fucking crazy

and has ZERO BIBLICAL BASIS

at all

Yeah, I never understood their interpretation of the "rapture". Their doctrine makes no sense.

its just retarded nonsense

mix in the jew worship

Pretty much

low church protestantism is to Christianity what American History X is to Triumph of the Will

a sad parody

Hahahaha

specifically the zionist, money oriented, rapture nonsense. I know plenty of great Baptists and such that reject that nonsense

But still

It's funny how they can twist every passage in the Bible to fit their perverted worldview

its evil, because they trick good people

I can't imagine the mental gymnastics that come into play
