>>216886758yikes
>>216887172god predestines people
The president who conquered europe during ww2, Franklin D Roosevelt, was Episcopalian
>>216886221i am lutheran mixed with calvinist, probably both since it was from Rhenish Missionary Society
>>216887323im not a calvinist, because calvin was an iconoclast and didnt believe in venerating saints, angels, and icons
>>216887192 >>216886758which one? episcopal or this?
>>216887359I dont pay attention to seething eurosissies since they were all buckbroken by episcopalian bvlls during ww2
>>216887349ive been taught with luther teaching and have his catechism but since this country got colonized by calvinists, our church has calvinist influence
>>216887448Calvinism is a heresy because it denies the veneration of icons
>>216887359There's only one Orthodox Catholic Apostolic Church. everything else is gay and retarded I won't argue on 4chan with people but I like having a laugh.
>>216887518lmfaohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_occupation_of_Romania
>>216887541if you want to bait you need something better than wikipedia links bro. your tax dollars go to jews, you are literal goycattle
>>216887590lolhttps://www.romania-insider.com/usa-bases-romania-february-2025
>>216887610so your tax dollars also go to keep me safe from wars. thank you amerimutt, you are truly a good goy
>>216887716youre spending money to keep up us bases as wellhttps://www.ir-ia.com/news/romania-to-spend-2-7-billion-on-development-of-natos-largest-air-base/
>>216887490calvinists are based though especially calvinist americans. they literally build best schools and universities.Also, episcopal is just lite catholic
>>216887817catholic lite*
>>216887817episcopalians built a lot of ivy league universities as wellwe pray to saints angels and venerate icons and we believe in free will
>>216887858The trinity of Ivy League universities were literally built by calvinist bvlls
>>216887922Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania were established by episcopalians
>>216887922So it was calvinists that browght trannies and woke shit over the world. Sad!
schizo thread
There are no innocent people, all humans are born sinners and deserve deathGod hates the world because the world is evil and was made by the Devil. Repent or perishhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9o1X_TNXWAhttps://x.com/GODHATESTHWORLD
>>216888137dont you literally have an amerimutt pope in office right now?
>>216887972not as powerful as the trinity of ivy league>>216888080this is why lutheran is most based. i've never found denominations from lutheran unlike calvinist (baptist, pentecostal) and anglican (methodist, evangelical)
>>216888601lutherans have split into different denominationslook up Laestadianism
>>216888753Laestadianism is small, bro. very small compared to methodist and vangelical
>>216888887theres literally like 3+ different lutheran church denominations active in america; elca, lcms, etc.
>>216888969They still adhere to the standard lutheran practice unlike anglican and methodist or calvinist and baptist
>>216889173anglicans literally have a standardized practice in the Book of Common Prayer which all anglican denominations use.
>>216889233methodist was separated from anglican, elca and lcms are still lutheran, they dont split from lutheran and make their own liturgy. >anglicans literally have a standardized practice in the Book of Common Prayeryes, but we are talking about denominations though. Laestadianism (from lutheran) is probably ded, baptist (calvinist) and methodist (anglican) are growing
>>216889419pietism split off from lutheranism
You guys deny the inspiration of Scripture and accept Nicaea II. Yikes! Worship is for God alone. Join a confessional Lutheran church instead.
>>216889722episcopalians dont deny the bible was written by men under the inspiration of the holy spiritbut we dont treat the bible as an idol and believe its inerrant and infallible. only god is inerrant and infallible
>>216889722also iconoclasm is completely heretical and antithetical to historical christianity christians are allowed to venerate saints, angels, and icons
>>216889763The Bible is God’s Word. He speaks through it. It is a means of grace. Inspiration isn’t just a question of propositional inerrancy, but that is an important part of it. It’s totally trustworthy.
>>216889798Iconoclasm and veneration are not the only choices. You can have images at home and in worship without kissing and venerating them.
>>216889823Jesus christ is the Word of God. the bible is simply a collection of books about the living Word of God, which is Jesus Christ.We dont take the bible literally and were allowed to believe in evolution and the big bangonly god is perfect, the bible is not god
>>216889522no, it's not lmao, most of pietism churches are part of lwf
>>216889863Christians have the freedom to kiss and venerate icons. god gave us the conscience to do so
>>216889871Jesus’ human nature is perfect even though it is inferior to the Godhead itself per the Athanasian Creed. Just as Christ perfectly represents humanity the Scriptures perfectly communicate God’s will. Evolution is an evil teaching, it is the claim that the world is basically violent and horrible and that death is the normal state of affairs when Scripture tells us it is an aberration that God will deliver all things from. The evolutionist belief in the divine saving power of death and competition is the logic of modern capitalism.>>216889903No you don’t. You have freedom in many things but the first commandment is absolute. Worship is for God.
>>216889958Veneration is not the same as worship. Worship involves a blood sacrifice, which is given only to God in the Eucharistwe dont offer blood sacrifices to saints and angels when we venerate themalso the world is evil, scripture clearly teaches the devil is the god of this world, and the ruler of this world. scripture teaches that christians must hate the world
Jesus Christ is the only Word of God, not the BibleLove God and Love thy neighbor are the only Eternal Law, not the Law of Moses
>>216890016The world is fallen, not essentially evil. Man is sinful but still basically good, evil is not a substance. Worship is more than blood sacrifice, prayer and the gathered offering of thanksgiving and adoration are activities of worship. >>216890078The Ten Commandments are God’s unchanging will for man. The third use of the law is real.
>>216890092Prayer just means to ask or to request. scripture commands us to pray for one anotherthe ten commandments are not eternal either. in the world to come, the ten commandments will not be binding for there will be no death or ownership of property therethe only eternal Law is the Law of Christ which is Love
The spirit of Man is good, but the flesh of Man is evilThe mind must decide between the spirit or the fleshthe flesh will be glorified if it repents from sin in the world to come
the ten commandments were the commandments god gave to israel, not to the gentileschristians dont have to keep the entire ten commandments, for example the sabbath. and also since god revealed himself in the flesh, we are allowed to craft icons of jesus christ who is god incarnate
>>216890142The Ten Commandments do not become false in the eschaton, the mode of their realization simply changes. If they are God’s revealed will they cannot be undone because God’s will is unchanging and eternal. We are to love the Law as expressed in the Ten Commandments and follow them today. The ceremonial law is abrogated only because its purpose was fulfilled. There will never come a time when the moral law is rendered obsolete because man’s nature will not change, only be perfected>>216890167The flesh is accidentally and not essentially evil. Our flesh will be glorified in the resurrection
>>216890299The Ten Commandments are not eternal. Christians dont have to keep the sabbath for instanceonly the Law of Christ is eternal
>>216890296We keep the Sabbath, just differently than the Jews. We keep it by setting aside Sunday to meditate on God’s Word.
>>216890347The ten commandments are the commandments god gave to israel. not to the gentilesto the gentiles, God gave the Laws Of Noahbut neither the noahide laws nor the mosaic laws are eternal, except the law of christ isalso christians are not obligated to keep the sabbath
>>216890299Flesh is evil, its totally depraved and sinful from its inception it will only be glorified by god if it repents of sin and is baptized. then it will be resurrected from the grave and glorified
The New Testament does not even mention the Ten Commandments lolI wonder why Lutherans became so obsessed with the Ten Commandments. must be german autism
>>216890391Christians are obligated to keep the Sabbath, to rest from work and meditate on God’s Word. I think the disagreement arises from the fact that you interpret the commandments very narrowly. I would suggest looking at Luther’s small and large catechisms>>216890391The Ten Commandments are for everyone because they express God’s moral law which does not change. It is written on the heart and accuses all men
young men and women want to go back to church.the women just want to go to a big wholesome community-oriented evangelical protestant church, where they sit and listen to a pastor tell their kids not to lie or cheat every sunday.the men want to go to an ultra strict, ultramontanist catholic church where they argue about retarded faggotry like Laws of Noah all daythere is a mismatch
>>216890521No christians are not obligated to keep the sabbath. the new testament clearly says thatthe ten commandments were for israel only, gentiles were forbidden from keeping the sabbath in fact
in fact, paul says that the torah , the law of moses is a curse, the sabbath is a curse, the kosher dietary laws are a curse, circumcision is a cursefor moses, says whoever fails in one commandment of his law will be cursed by god
>>216890569>>216890639That is the second use of the law, it is also true. But in Christ the commandments are not a curse but a blessing, they are lovely and to be loved. We keep the Sabbath every Sunday, how could we call ourselves Christians if we did not set aside time to meditate in God’s Word in rest from our labors?
Galatians 3:10 “ For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, because it is written, Everyone who does not do everything written in the book of the law is cursed.”
>>216890747Gentiles were never obligated to keep the sabbath, god never told noah he had to keep the sabbathalso the sabbath is saturday not sunday
Christians celebrate sunday every week because that is the day our Lord rose from the deadnot because we are obligated to keep the sabbath of the Law of Moses
Can the Lutheran cite one passage from the new testament that says Christians have to keep the sabbath? i swear german lutheran autism over the ten commandments is fascinating
>>216886221Keep seething
>>216890797The church has existed from the time of Adam, who was the first Christian pastor. He told his flock about the promised savior (Genesis 3:15). There was worship and sacrifice and song as there has always been in the church. There was a day set aside for reflection. I do not know why we would assume otherwise when the rest of the church’s whole history testifies that that is what God expects
>>216886725We are literally all over the world lmaoEven across the muslim world where we're the only Church ex-muslims can go to.
>>216890886Adam was not a Christian, he was a GentileChristianity began in 33AD with the resurrection of the jesus christ and the establishment of the new covenant and the churchJesus Christ was born and died a Jew under the old covenant but he was resurrected a Christian under the new covenant. His foreskin grew back with his resurrected body
>>216887133Church in Cluj is huge and full of cuties tbqh
>>216890952No, Christianity has existed since the Fall. Men have always been saved on account of their trust in the promised savior. Faith in God’s promises has been counted for righteousness. Israel was the messianic line and the largest branch of the church after the other descendants of Noah gradually abandoned their Christian faith and turned to idolatry
>>216891018no thats not true, baptism is what makes you christian, and the sacraments was only introduced by jesus christ after his resurrectionadam and enoch and noah were gentilesabraham, moses and david were jewsjesus christ was the first christian
>>216891068Are you implying the Patriarchs who are with Christ are not Christians because they were not baptized? Baptism is the sure application of God’s promises but it is only one way God has saved by grace through faith historically. The best and perfect way that fulfills what came before
>>216891140yes, they were not christians, they were righteous individuals who are in heaven and they prophesized the coming of the messiah but they were not christiansthey were either jews or gentileschristianity began in 33ad with the new covenant
>>216891200Salvation is only through Christ. They were and are Christians. This will be my last post my lunch break is over, God be with you
>>216891229they were not christians, and yes salvation is through christ alone because christ is godchrist is able to save non christians through his own will and pleasure, there existed virtuous pagans, and elected gentiles and righteous jewsyou need to abandon your lutheran german autistic obsessions with laws and rules and the ten commandments
>>216891278problem?
>>216891278protestant vs protestant is peak soul, it's always lutheran vs everybody (anglican, calvinist etc)
>>216890494>the Ten Commandmentsi thought you guys had this because i always hear this every sunday
>>216891777no, my church there are only two commandments for christians (love god and love thy neighbor)
>>216891912the Ten Commandments is basically love God and love thy neighbor
