>As long as a furry is a good Catholic
Aye, but there's the rub
Bestiality is banned in the bible so yiff in hell
Not even a christian but still
Romans 13: 3. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4. For the one in authority is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God's servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience. 6. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. - Bible Offline

Not trad enough
I thought Catholics were not fans
They aren't because I dosent include their books
which books are catholic?
Because Martin Luther needed to make sure that his bible supported his theology.
There's actually an account where, after homily where he denied the efficacy prayers for the dead since "it wasn't in the scripture," Luther was confronted by a Catholic who pointed out the logic for prayers for the dead spelled right out in Maccabees.

Lmao
Wouldn't you need to swap both
no
Gnostics aren't paarticularly pleased about god/the demiurge
Either version goes depending on how you look at idea of predestination in each of them.
Doesn't calvinistic idea of predestination make sacrifice of Jesus Christ on a cross completely pointless?
it makes morality pointless
if you arent responsible for your actions
then it cant be said that you did anything wrong
thats why you dont call animals or women evil
> thats why you dont call animals or women evil
😏
That doesn’t sound too predestined to me
It still doesn't make sense. Jesus Christ died so humanity's sins could be forgiven and establish new covenent between God and men. The idea of predestination and those who are elected by God, even before creation, for salvation (and only those) complemently makes Christ suffering on the cross and sacrifice pointless. Entire new testament might as well be thrown out of the window in that case.
Calvin's personal, flawed interpretation. In most cases when scripture says about people being chosen for salvation it is referred to children of God as a whole all of men are chosen for salvation (hence the Christ sacrifice). But being chosen for salvation doesn't mean you will achieve it since God gave men free will. Not only that but predestination goes against the scripture's teachings that God loves his own (flawed) creation.
Interesting Thread on paganism vs. trinitarian conception of God.
Nonsense. If anything was novel about christianity it was monotheism, which is why it spread alongside other monotheistic cults like the cult of Sol invictus, mithraism etc.
The main reason christianity spread this much is because the Roman empire and jewish diaspora existed in the first place
Rome making it easy to travel from one corner of the empire to another for preaching, the diaspora being the initial audience for it
