Why don't self-described "Christians" live humble lives in accordance with the teachings of Christ anymore?And why can't I choose a Christian flag to represent me on /pol/? A simple crucifix.
>>542473201There is the templar one
>>542473498The templers did not live in accordance with the teachings of Christ. They violently plundered the middle-east for wealth and status.
>>542473201Because protestants and Evangelicals are openly heretics
>>542473201>Why don't self-described "Christians" live humble lives in accordance with the teachings of Christ anymore?There isn't a Christian Church you can go to on Sunday. They're all Churches of Luther, Calvin, Smith, Smyth, Mary...>And why can't I choose a Christian flag to represent me on /pol/? A simple crucifix.I know. Who would use it?
>>542474232So are "Catholics" who worship Mary. The Apostles wouldn't recognize the Catholic Church as being theirs. More prayers to Mary than to God by 10:1.
>>542474718Praying to a saint for intercession isn't worship. It's praying to saint for intercession. You pray to Mary so that she'll pray to God on your behalf.
>>542474718Catholcis don't prey to Mary they ask her to pray for them.>The Apostles wouldn't recognize the Catholic Church as being theirs.Yet miracles only happen here.
>>542473201The Amish exist. The reality is it is very difficult to live a backward life as modern states usually require you to play by modern rules.
There are no actual Christians in 2026. Nobody experiences the world in the fundamentally religious way a medieval or ancient Christian did. It’s just a personal philosophy to point to when convenient for moderns.
>>542474893The Amish sell shoo fly pies with iPhones and MacBooks at the Reading Terminal. They order there horse feed from Amazon.
>>542474846False. Miracles happen everywhere the Holy Spirit decides. You can know where the Spirit is, but not where the Spirit isn't. The Vatican actually claims that false religions were inspired by the Holy Spirit, which is insane ecumenism blasphemy. So, if the Roman Catholics are still getting miracles from God, then I guess catholics should be thanking God for him being patient and kind.
>>542473201Go be Amish or some other form of Mennonite.I see Mennonites driving humble old cars and wearing old style clothes.I don't think they vax and medicate their kids all to hell either.
>>542475044There is no miracle since the oeceumenism because this isn't the Catholic church but miracles happened only in the Catholic church, exorcists only exist in the Catholic church. The oldest church is the true one.
>>542475361The oldest Church is Orthodox. The actual oldest church, is the Church of Jerusalem, which is an Orthodox Church under the antiochian jurisdiction.
>>542474911I know a place where they still pratice Christianism like under the ancient regime. I won't tell you where but it still exist.
>>542474911>>542475489It's called an Orthodox Church. In the US, you have options: OCA, Antiochian, ROCOR, GOARCH (wouldn't recommend), and some other smaller assemblies. Hopefully, one day. We'll just have OCA, but the various diasporas make that logistically difficult, as they all tend to prefer their own languages.
>>542473201Post from the Vatican.
>>542473498The templars are devil worshiping freaks and sodomites. The pope was right to burn them.
>>542473738Not the first ones. It was about helping Christian brothers and sisters in Byzantine against the Muslim hordes and freeing Jerusalem from them. Only later on the crusades turned into personal crusades for wealth.
>>542475685No they are Catholics. They conserved the rites despite the revolutions. It's impressive when you think about it.
>>542474823>>542474846Jesus is the sole connection between man and god. What you do is blasphemy
Catholics are nigger lovers who sponsor boy rape w every donationAnti abortion=nigger lover
>>542475892It's not. Hating the mother of Jesus Christ who warned us about these terrible times is blasphemy.
>>542475791Nope. It was about the Pope sacrementizing the act of participating in war, and saying that doing so absolves your sins, which is heresy, and teaming up with them is why Byzantium fell, the Crusaders and Jews literally assisted the Turks in sacking Constantinople.>>542475854I agree, the Orthodox are Catholic. There is only one true Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, which acknowledges one Baptism for the remission of sins. Not 2, not, 3, and not several.>>542475892Did Christ himself baptize you? Christ gave authority to living people to remit sins through Christ, and to intercede for others with prayer. If you're saved by Christ, you go to heaven, and you don't die. The saints are literally with Christ, watching as the events on the earth take place.
>>542476125Too gay;didnt readGod does not existEvery religion is a scam
>>542473201It's not a simple either or.The early Church decreed two equally salvific lifestyles:The monastic life, which, roughly speaking, takes following Christ's example to its logical conclusion ("If you want to be perfect").And the family life, which is equally sacred through the consecration of the wedding at Cana. The family life should still be one that strives for humility, but necessarily requires some engagement with the culture around it, which can easily lead a layman astray in one thing or another. But that just reinforces just why the Church is so important as the pillar and ground of truth especially for those living the family life. The monastic has the good fortune to be constantly living the liturgical life.
>>542475976Im not hating on Mary. She was an important person just like the apostles. But you don’t need to ask her for help. Jesus said himself, that you only get to god through him. Proxies are not needed>>542476125Not the first crusade.
>>542476435>Jesus said himself, that you only get to god through him.If this was meant as narrowly as you suggest, there wouldn't be bishops or priests who minister the sacraments.
>>542476435She appeared to children in Portugal. She said the church will know a bit crisis (modernists/traditionalists) and the the throne of the Pople will be occupied w'by the anti-Christ.You are here.
>>542476773It already is occupied by an antichrist. Anti-christ means "in the place of christ." That's literally what "vicar of christ" means, and it's what the Pope does in the practice of his office, dictating dogmas and practices for the resto of the church that contradict and ovverrule what was decided in the first 9 counsels by men who were guided by the Holy Spirit in the Church that Christ ordained.
>>542476521No, you are here. The churches of the schisms have always been anti Christian. There’s is only one word and it’s the bible. You are 2000 years too late to detect the antichrist >>542476773Are you really going to reinterpret the words of Jesus to allow praying to priests? You are the reason why people turn away from Christianity in the first place. There’s is one and only one source of truth and it’s Jesus Christ. It’s not Maria, it’s not Paul
>>542477268The bible didn't exist until centuries after the crucifixion.
>>542477268Prayer just means "to ask," and its rather common to ask people to pray for you. If you ask someone to pray for you, you have quite literally prayed to have someone pray for you.
