Best books to buy Evangelicals that have almost zero knowledge of Church history to prove Catholicism?
>>25025457They're not going to read anything. They have their echo-chamber and the fact you want to "prove Catholicism" shows that you're also in an echo-chamber.
Why not the Bibl- oh wait, nevermind.
>>25025483fpbp, what an embarrassing thread.
>>25025485>picdon't be so anal
>>25025483I'm not in any echo chamber, I was raised evangelical myself, considered orthodoxy during that period where the Kremlin was pushing it on western chuds, then finally settled on Catholicism.
>>25025457Copleston.
>>25025510The most stereotypical example of someone falling into an echo chamber. Why do you think it's always American evangelicals that become internet TradCaths? Because Americans are retarded and don't know anything about their own religion. You don't see this happening to Lutherans, Anglicans, Presbyterians, etc.
>>25025510>settled on CatholicismWhat appealed to you? The pro-immigration or the pedophilia coverups?
>>25025518To be fair the average evangelical knows as much about Catholicism as the average Catholic.
>>25025510youre a hindu, go back to india
>>25025518>Lutherans, Anglicans, Presbyterians, etc.Considered them too>>25025521They aren't a puppet of the Kremlin.
>>25025457as a european catholic, i'll never understand people who convert from protestantism.here catholics dont know anything about the bible, you go to a church and the people there are old ladies who attend mass because they were told to and pray the saints and the virgin mary to bless their families, the others go there because they're involved in church activities and stuff like that but overall i'd say 10% or less of those attending mass have actually read the essential books of the bible.And it's not their fault, the church just didnt do anything to encourage believers to read the Book since they were too busy trying to interfere with local and national politics.I mean here the Church is much more a social institution than a religious one.I think the few who read the bible here would actually further themselves from the Church.Catholicism is barely a religion
>>25025522just gotta know the Bible
>>25025530> muh politicsfuentes belongs in jail for feeding 15 year old boys to sodomites then saying theyre just like girls so pimping them isnt wrong
>>25025533Americans like to play pretend and dress up as Europeans.
>>25025533>going to church in a liberal european city is the template for the whole worldLol.
>>25025540You're right, he should have factored in the mentally impaired natives of South America that are a genuine credit to the Catholic religion.
https://archive.org/details/thechurchofthepa00pracuoft/page/n5/mode/2uphard to find good editions of it loreto is the best recent one if you can find it somewhere. Just explains the parables in an accessible way using patristic teaching without being overwhelming showing how much depth in this is ignored and points to Catholicism (this is good because if a prot keeps reading them I think it will be hard for them to not remember the interpretations)and also cites a bunch of protestant reformers to show they were actually way more in line with Catholicism than prots are now.
>>25025457Just become Muslim, it's true and the punishment for things like adultery and homosexuality is death. Not forgiveness
>>25025457
>>25025457From a secular pov the Church did more for humanity than any other institution in creating a European community, promoting rationalism (there would be no enlightenment without Aquinas and the scholastics) via free education for those with the aptitude for it, promoting the sciences, and empowering intellectuals to rulership/those outside the military class. From a religious pov it’s a bit hard to take seriously, given its antithetical to the spirit of everything Jesus was trying to do in his teaching ie no Torah legalist nonsense just do the right thing.
>>25025720>Just become Muslim, it's true and the punishment for things like adultery and homosexuality is death.
>>25025485>God is mediator between you and God Protties kek
>>25025521Muslims raped more children in England in the last 10 years than the whole Catholic church in it's existence
>>25025533Protestantism for what its worth, can't seem to keep queer and feminist shit out of their services, hence the large numbers of converts. I too, plan on converting.
>>25025539As opposed to you, who likes to play pretend and dress up as a woman although you'll never truly be one.
>>25025720I like ham though. You're not human if you can't eat ham.
>>25025874Correct, I don't hate Christians like other Muslims, but the idea of forgiving your wife for cheating instead of putting her to death is insane>>25025979I mean I have had pork belly and it was great, but it is Haram and that's that.
>>25025939And they were sent to prison about it and the Muslim community tried to make ammends. But let's be real a lot of fathers let their daughters dress up like whores and do drugs and they are to blame too
>>25025938Are you calling Paul a liar?
>>25026062rich men want to divorce and trade up, and executing the ex wife is bad form. poor men depend on their extended family and need loyalty from the wife. so islam lets rich men have their no fault divorce and also lets poor or sentimental men have their loyalty, whereas in formerly Christian countries, women are incentivized to betray their would-be husbands by offering them their would-be husbands as slaves
>>25025485And in that single verse, taken out of context, all of Trinitarian Christianity (i.e, every single Christian sect today outside of the Assyrian Orthodox) is disproven.No point in babbling about Evangelicals or Catholics if this is the kind of braindead discourse you resort to. Jesus is Man and Mediator, not God, who is separate in that verse. But if you attempt to use "the bible also says" to argue for Jesus' divinity, then the Catholics are also free to argue that the power to forgive sin, to make fishers of men, and others were given to the Apostles, the first bishops of the Church.Either be consistent in your verse cherrypicking and deny the Trinity, or admit that you need more contextual material and realize the Catholics have a point to make.
>>25025535>muh backwater church established after 1776 is the true church!murican chuds will never stop making asses of themselves, even Barlaam's ass was more intelligent
>>25026207>Apostles, the first bishopsincorrect, paul was never a bishop
>>25026217whoever does the will of the Father is a son of the Father. the samaritans and jews were already pruned out
>>25026217Good thing we keep our boots on your ground or you'd spaz out further
>>25026200>it was real in my mind, I swear!
>>25026200I never said execute the ex wife, I said if a woman cheats you should be allowed to kill her for your justice and honour
