People who counter signal all denominations and organized chirstianity remind me of anarchists

2018-12-15 07:46:37 UTC  

baptism is a vow one makes to be a believer

2018-12-15 07:46:42 UTC  

nothing more

2018-12-15 07:47:20 UTC  

Civilized humans organize themselves into groups that are in charge and have a formal process for making decisions

2018-12-15 07:47:30 UTC  

John the Baptist literally dunked people in water

2018-12-15 07:47:36 UTC  

dont rely on humans for salvation

2018-12-15 07:47:39 UTC  

trust no man but god

2018-12-15 07:48:07 UTC  

You’re literally trusting yourself to interpret the texts

2018-12-15 07:48:16 UTC  

no thats the spirit

2018-12-15 07:48:18 UTC  

This fetish for a world in which every asshole runs wild and there's no state, no laws, no formalized morality/theology that the people agree on is retarded

2018-12-15 07:48:32 UTC  

im not an anarchist

2018-12-15 07:48:36 UTC  

obey the laws of the land

2018-12-15 07:48:43 UTC  

unto caesar what is unto caesar

2018-12-15 07:48:44 UTC  

So the Spirit guides you but not the thousands of sects that disagree with you?

2018-12-15 07:48:53 UTC  

nope because they put their faith in men

2018-12-15 07:48:58 UTC  

and doctrine

2018-12-15 07:49:06 UTC  

thinking abiding by the rules of the bible saves them

2018-12-15 07:49:18 UTC  

You put your faith in a man, *yourself*

2018-12-15 07:49:26 UTC  

no i put my faith in god

2018-12-15 07:49:43 UTC  

Why don’t you even capitalise His name then

2018-12-15 07:49:51 UTC  

do you think he cares about such nonsense?

2018-12-15 07:50:05 UTC  

Did it not occur to you that perhaps Jesus may have put certain humans in charge of preaching his message after he left this world?

2018-12-15 07:50:14 UTC  

Does he care about anything?

2018-12-15 07:50:20 UTC  

he cares about us yes

2018-12-15 07:50:25 UTC  

Because he literally did in the Bible

2018-12-15 07:50:32 UTC  

the apostles were the first true believers

2018-12-15 07:50:48 UTC  

"Trust God, not men! ...well, trust Peter I guess, and Paul..."

2018-12-15 07:50:55 UTC  

What would happen if you believed in God, and then massacred a whole family and were killed in the process?

2018-12-15 07:51:22 UTC  

what do you think would happen

2018-12-15 07:51:24 UTC  

Would you be ushered into heaven?

2018-12-15 07:51:28 UTC  

do you think god just takes shit like that?

2018-12-15 07:51:35 UTC  

It’s a work

2018-12-15 07:51:36 UTC  

ofcourse not

2018-12-15 07:51:40 UTC  

I presume we are also to trust the various writers who wrote the various books of the Bible and the men who decided which books would be included and cannonized

2018-12-15 07:51:48 UTC  

are you assuming god is a dumbass? lol

2018-12-15 07:51:53 UTC  

So He cares about our works now?

2018-12-15 07:52:07 UTC  

he doesnt care about work at all

2018-12-15 07:52:14 UTC  

Read James

2018-12-15 07:52:27 UTC  

Spoiler alert you're wrong

2018-12-15 07:52:31 UTC  

Right, so I could massacre a whole family and immediately go to heaven

2018-12-15 07:52:34 UTC  

Ephesians 2:8-9 New International Version (NIV)
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
