Beginning EternityYes, that’s right—apocalypse. It’s a word that brings to mind images of destruction and chaos. Yet, in its biblical context, “apocalypse” means something far deeper: a revelation, an unveiling. Instead of merely marking the end of the world, it’s the beginning of seeing God’s truth laid bare.What if the turmoil of our times—natural disasters, societal upheaval, and personal challenges—are not random, but signs preparing us for a greater revelation? Rather than fixating on destruction, perhaps we’re called to see these events as moments that pull us closer to Christ, who stands sovereign over all things (Colossians 1:17). God may be using these times to shake us from our complacency, to awaken us to the reality of His kingdom.Instead of fearing the crumbling world around us, what if we see it as part of a divine unveiling? As Jesus tells us, such “birth pains” (Matthew 24:8) signal the coming of something greater—the ultimate reality where “all things will be made new” (Revelation 21:5). Through these signs, God might be inviting us to look beyond the temporary, to glimpse the kingdom that is breaking into our world, even now.Let’s embrace this as a time to prepare our hearts, not for an end, but for the beginning of eternity. In this story, Christ reigns, hope remains unshakable, and all things are made new in Him.

>>39228981You don't know what you're talking about. By your logic, if I allow this post to dictate what's an idol between me and God, then it is now an idol to me by it's own criteria. Same exact fucking self-defeating retarded shit as "everything is just subjective"

Why do people pray to Jesus when dealing with demons? Wouldn't it be more logical to summon Satan and make some offerings to him since he directly rules over all other demons? Like he could straight up bitch smack anyone giving you trouble and force them to stop.
>>39233290Some Christians seem to forget how quality fiction can be edifying. I had this weird thing when I was finding my way to Christ where suddenly much of the media I was engaging with was full of the themes of self-sacrifice, loss, love and redemption.

>>39234727I have never seen an e-pagan post on this site that looked like it was written by someone with a triple-digit IQ. It's all blustering, repeating the same several insults and images over and over again to "assert dominance." Ironically very niggerlike behavior.
>>39233786Where is your faith? In my experience, asking others for prayers is the last resort of a broken man. God will give you whatever you want you know.

Can you recommend me a KJV study bible? I've never read the Bible before and I find that approaching the raw KJV text is kind of difficult. I know this isn't very esoteric but you guys are the only general about Christianity I'm aware of.
>>39237591*Also, how do you anons feel about KJV? As far as English translations of the Bible go, what do you think is the best translation of the Bible?
>>39237591>>39237672As an ESL i like the KJV because of its historical value, also why not just get one of those KJVs that have updated spelling?

>>39242081I always chuckle when people make the mistake of thinking "esoteric" and "occult" are specific bodies of knowledge rather than a type of knowledge within a category.Pokemon has esoteric information.Amazon occults information.
>>39234059It's a church, you are inevitably bound to run into fucked up people seeking salvation. Ex-whores, ex-drug addicts and so on are incredibly common in churches nowadays. In my eyes, if your church has no one with a profile that can be at the very least be considered challenged, they are doing a bad job and work as basically a local circlejerk people go to on sunday for social status somewhat. Hell I even moved neighboorhoods because my church was so ass filled with the petit burgeoisie virtue signaling motherfuckers I despise but inevitably grew up with like fucking Harry Haller. Either way that old one played gospel music but this one has an actual organ and the priests sing latin chants so I take it as a upgrade.
>>39237591I find both KJV/NKJV and ESV to be pretty good. The study bible that anons here recommend me was the Orthodox Study Bible, which is nice because you get the the septuagint for the OT instead of the masoretic, and NKJV for the NT. You also get more books than you would with a Prot or Catholic bible. The study notes however are a mixed bag, some are legitimately useful, others are just "muh One True Church (tm)" bloviating. But I imagine this is an issue most study bibles would suffer from regarding either their sectarian beliefs or stances on specific doctrines.
>>39234059there are atheist churches?
>>39231984it’s you millennial faggots that are the militant atheists, not zoomers lmao. go to bed gramps
>>39234727>return to wotanSure, should we execute atheists for impiety like pagans did? Oh wait, you’re an atheist faggot trying to smuggle your enlightenment mental illness in under the guise of atheism. This poster spams other boards literally all day btw, he’s a thirdie who thinks larping as a pagan will make him white
>>39244989>Sure, should we execute atheists for impiety like pagans did?Yes. Behead all Godless ones. also how come muh based hispanic catholics support immigration anon? I thought christianity was the deciding factor? why dont black protestants support border control either?
>>39245150Have you noticed that white atheists are 80% pro open borders? Even spics are less than that. You can’t argue that it’s entirely race that decides a cultures preferences on one hand and acknowledge the complete cultural and political collapse of the white world during the secular era on the other. If you are genuine in studying premodern metaphysics and practicing paganism, I support that. I find your endless assaults on christianity however nothing more than an asinine power grab, and i’ll call it out as such. Not that it’s too relevant anyway, neopaganism is 90% a bunch of trannies and gays having orgies in the woods and 10% discord exclusive larpers.
>>39245187why were there 12,000 talmuds in france in the first place? who let them in? also, why do you specifically say 'white atheists'? your study doesnt associate race with 'religiously unaffiliated'. so that accounts for ALL atheists, not just white ones. do you just have an inherent hatred for white people, because youre jewish? (the answer is yes)see, this is why I have a problem with you e-christians. I have honestly tried to get along with you people before, but you serve the jew like a mindless golem. look how easy it is to whip up your hatred against other white people. WHITE ATHEISTS!!!! WHITE ATHEISTS!!!!! like, why arent you acknowledging that the study includes all atheists, not just white ones? face it, you hate white people, either because they dont attend your shitty pedophile congregation and provide tithes anymore, or because they arent doing that and also donating to israel. either way I see you as an enemy of my people, interested in foreign games and not in the lifeblood of my own folk. you have no place within my nations, you are all parasites, and I will call you out as such
>>39245286You are such a disingenuous retard it’s unreal>WHITE ATHEISTS!Purely to demonstrate the point that a belief system does matter- which you don’t even argue with, seeing as how you want to promote your own. Besides, all you are doing ITT, and all you fags ever do is>WHITE CHRISTIANS! WHITE CHRISTIANS!!!! Literally I don’t think i’ve ever seen one of you do anything else. You don’t talk about paganism, you just seethe at white christians for existing and blame all of life’s problems on them while paradoxically insisting their beliefs don’t influence anything >why were there talmuds in franceWhy were there synagogues in ancient rome? You get hit with the fact that christians constantly persecuted jews and come up with the most asinine cope possible for it>the study includes all atheistsThis one doesn’t:>>39244974>you hate white people I don’t, I am one, and plan to have children with my christian wife. I protect those beliefs because they correspond to things which create stable and productive societies Again I have no issue with pagans actually practising and reading their own metaphysics. You don’t do that though, you spend all your time seething at people like me
>>39245322how come none of these studies can be seen in practice? how come all these based boomer christians dont do anything as their nations are flooded by immigrants? why do they let their clergy defile their sacred word, and invite foreigners to replace them? you can show me studies all you want. Ill show you reality>WHITE CHRISTIANS!!!!lmao, literally never said, not once. you were the one freaking out about 'white atheists', using a study about atheists in general to prove some kinda point about paganism. youre literally just shoving your own disgusting, anti-white sentiments unto me and trying to pretend im the culprit. it wont work on anyone with a double digit IQ. we seethe about christian leaders in western countries because they are traitors to the west. most of them arent even white anymore. when have you ever seen a pagan seething about 'white christians' in specific? show me a single screencap. >the fact that christians constantly persecuted jewsno they didnt. peasants did. and christian institutions like your precious church and the knights went out of their way to protect them from such pogroms. the first crusade was a remote incident, and their slaughter of the jews was condemned by the church itself, since they wanted to preserve jews as a 'witness generation'
>>39245322>Again I have no issue with pagans actually practising and reading their own metaphysics. You don’t do that though, you spend all your time seething at people like memore jewish word games. I dont hate pagans, but pagans arent real and youre all atheists and jews. yeah well I dont hate christians, I just think youre all a bunch of shit-eating golems who would die for israel if ben shapiro made a video about it. I think 90 percent of christians are mutt-blooded mongoloids with the IQ of a rock, who will donate 56 million dollars to israel a year and then pretend to be based online; probably because theyre a bunch of deceptive grifters trying to shift the right wing back into noahide law. I think youre a bunch of conniving snakes and conmen and liars leading our entire race off a cliff, and I bet most of you dont even read that putrid shitstain of a jewish tome you dare to call 'the book'. but I have no issue with christians. lmao. lol even. the dishonesty of you people really is sickening and jewish
>>39245356>ummm okay chug massive statistical studies don’t count>if X group who is anti immigrant is good, why are there immigrantsGee I dunno massive societal and political instability wrought by non democratic compelled decisions on the state level which the population mistakenly believed it could stop by voting? What are neo pagans doing exactly? Except bitching on the internet? >anti white sentimentsWHERE? I want to preserve my race because I love it, and I see when someone of my race turns atheist they’re far more likely to betray it. >christian leadersLol. Lmao. The actual christian leaders are men like orban actually protecting their nations. I live in a pozzed shithole and our government is aggressively secular >peasants didOh yes! Peasants like simon de montfort and louis the IX, lowly peasant landowners. I remember peasants ordering and drafting legislation and issuing royal edicts of exile. I also remember the peasants forcing the church to adopt a theological policy of total condemnation for jews and carrying out an inquisition on them. Totally
>>39245380>I don’t hate christians>giant seething paragraph about hating christiansFor the love of wotan get better material >deceptive grifters They’re such deceptive grifters beings a massive anti immigrant anti fag voting bloc. For sure. We should attack them and make them all atheists who skew massively left wing, instead of uniting against our opponents. Good plan.
>>39245397okay, now post the one proving all atheists are pagans. what a retarded and insipid point to be arguing in the first place. the rest of your post is barely worth reading. christshills like you always reveal themselves to be liars, predicating their entire arguments upon foundations of lies. why should I respect someone who questions my faith by characterizing me as atheist in the first place? go fuck yourself faggot, and remember to kiss a mexicans toes tonight to be a true christian
>>39245415>>I don’t hate christians>>giant seething paragraph about hating christians>the irony goes over his headyes, I dont like christians. and I am honest about it. I dont like you because you are a bunch of dishonest jewish wordsmiths, relying on lies for every single argument. you, on the other hand, play passive aggressive jewish word games, which is the reason I dont like you. "I dont have any problem with pagans but pagans arent even real, and are atheist"you act just like a jew, insulting and belittling others and then crying like a child when insulted himself. truly, our ancestors were right to put you people on crosses
>>39245419Literally none of this remotely addresses anything I said in my post? What the fuck are you even talking about?>>39245425>dishonest jewish wordsmiths Ie, people who are more articulate and eloquent than you, which makes grug mad>our ancestorsMy ancestors have been christian for well over a millennia
>>39245425>>39245419>ummm yeah those polling studies showing christians are 90% right wing don’t count>check my random anecdotal screencaps instead better to attack the people useful to your supposed cause than just admit you’re wrong
>>39245440your entire argument being pushed forth in those pictures is predicated on all atheists being pagans. go ahead and prove it and ill address the rest of your retarded pointsyou arent more articulate or eloquent, just a better liar. you are a master of deflection, redirection and deception. you say one thing, while meaning another. you should only be proud of this if you are a jew, which you are, by biblical definition. you are circumcised of the heart. a child of israel. >my ancestors have been christian for well over a milleniawow, a whole millennia? my ancestors were pagans for 10s of thousands of years. your ancestors for the past 100 years were cuckold cowards who fought against their fatherland, maybe you should go join antifa while youre at it
>>39245451>christians are 90 percent right winglmao, thats a load of shit and you know it. that isnt at all what your studies say, they say that certain denominations of christian are slightly more right wing than other ones. are you capable of reading?those same boomer christians who oppose immigration think israel will save the world if given enough lasers. it doesnt mean they are based redpilled nationalists like you wish
>>39245472No it isn’t schizo. I already said I don’t mind actual pagans. I’m saying that you’re obsessively attacking the wrong group 24/7>just a better liarName the lie then. >pagans for tens of thousands of yearsNo, they were animists for tens of thousands of years. Whatever nietzsche influenced (ie ahistorical and modernists) brand of paganism you subscribe to was not practiced for such a long period of time. Paganism is not one religion or belief system, it’s many. >last one hundred yearsThe secular era… lol.>>39245482That pretty much is what they show though. The majority of practicing christians by far are right wing.
>>39245482more on your "christians are 90 percent right wing" bullshit claimcatholics are 48 percent democrat and 43 percent republican (essentially split in half with a democrat majority)evangalicals, the most right wing christian group, are 25 percent democrat and 75 percent republican. I would hardly call that 90 percentthis also doesnt account for all christians. if you combined them all its probably leaning more democrat given all the spics
>>39245507>obsessively attacking the wrong group 24/7am I really? who brings them here? who defends them? who establishes laws giving them power in my lands? not the pagans. I will attack you dogs for as long as you continue to be the dogs of israel. keep playing with your sodomite anime dolls. dont worry, it has a cross slapped on it. totally based and redpilled
>>39245507>'animists'nebulous college academia term with zero meaning. we have archeological evidence that pagan deities go back 10,000s of years. picrel is obviously cernnunos given the rings around the antlers
>>39245512>i’ll just ignore every study you post lolOkay riddle me this one then, larper.>>39244989Compare the christian population here to the atheist one. Now compare the population sizes, knowing that christians make up 75% of the population. That means millions of white christians are anti immigrant, and that the amount of white atheists who are is restricted to a small proportion of an already small demographic. So who makes up most right wing people in your country? This is basic math. >>39245518>not the pagansIf christians caused modernity to happen then pagans caused christianity to happen. >>39245529>this cave panting has antlers therefore is the same mythology and ritual system of a specific culture geographically distant from pic related thousands of years later when no writing system existed
>>39245546most scandinavian countries mark everyone as lutheran unless specifically stated otherwise so im going to assume these bullshit studies are the same. you also havent addressed the main issue, which I have brought up several times, which is that these studies speak only about atheists. you keep dialing in on pagans, and WHITE ATHEISTS for some weird reason. verdict: you are probably not white, and hate paganism because it is an exclusively white religion rooted in white culture that gives no access to nonwhites.
>That means millions of white christians are anti immigrantand they do nothing and continue to donate to israel. most right wingers in this country are also masonic zionist shills who unironically think jesus wants them to bomb palestinians, so im not really sure what point youre trying to make here. its just a crude appeal to popularity, which is a very shitty argument in todays day and age. should I start listening to justin bieber music? the majority of the country does, they know whats right, right? that is essentially your argument. ben shapiro gets millions of views on twitter and youtube, does that mean he is the final voice of reason? by that logic, your retarded brand of christianity is irrelevant and doesnt matter. most right wing christians are pro-israel, pro-jewish, and pro-racemixing (as long as its with a LEGAL migrant).
>>39245568>the studies are just… le made upYup. Protecting your ego from admitting it’s wrong matters MORE than reality. I didn’t shit on pagans. I shat on pagans who were larpers, because they’re just atheists. I never said actual pagans caused anything bad, you can quote me if I did.>you’re not white/ hate paganismI am and don’t. I just appreciate pagan culture and art as much as I appreciate christian culture and art. I’m well read on plotinus, plato, proculus and the other pagan theologians. I respect then a great deal, and did christians like dante.
>>39245572I’m saying they’re a massively influential large voting bloc who is pushing anti immigration change on an actually existent political level. The overton window has finally shifted right on this, and for pragmatic purposes that makes these people important. I don’t like isreal and I support palestine, but I value the stability and hegemony of my own nation more than shit happening in the middle east. I’m willing to accept it
>>39245579>I didnt shit on pagans, I just said no pagans are actually pagans and theyre just atheists. heres more studies about atheists, take THAT pagan!you literally argue like that ben shapiro jew. anything you dont like is suddenly 'paganism' lmao. >christian culture and art. you mean pagan culture and art. 'trust not the traditions of men'. your jewish prophet jesus would literally have torn down all that shit in your picrel and hacked down the paintings and melted down the gold. its like you people dont even read these books
>>39245588>I don’t like isreal and I support palestine, but I value the stability and hegemony of my own nation>I'm willing to sell my soul out so jews can rule the world so i can have comfy womfy timesremember, when the Gods judge you, they will not forgive any weakness, nor listen to your excuses
>>39245595You’re literally inventing a narrative in your head that doesn’t exist in the thread. I don’t know why the fuck you believe that I said a believing practicing pagan is an atheist>you mean paganOh here we go, the final cope. Everything is pagan. Why are you even mad at christianity then, it’s pagan right? Those devout christians making christian art expressing explicitly christian things are actually pagan because I happen to like them. Have you ever wondered if thinking literally nothing good ever, in history, can be associated with christianity no matter how deluded the mental gymnastics become, might be an irrational and emotional response you can’t coherently justify? >>39245600>I’d rather divide and destroy people trying to keep my country from collapsing because they disagree with me on some retarded issue about middle eastern politics Aside from all the cholesterol in it , I don’t think your heart is surviving the scales
>>39245630>if you dont buy this tranny unicorn anime mascot, youre divide and conquer! your church is an enemy of europe and its people. but you know that, because youre not european
>Everything is pagan.its in the bible. your idols are pagan. your temples are pagan. your stained glass windows are pagan. they follow after the traditions of men, not of Yahweh. the idols of the goyim shall be torn down, and their incense shall be thrown into a river and all that. boy, you guys really dont read this shit do you?
>>39245792No I am european which is why I know actual european history. Look up the truce and peace of God. The church was massively influential in stopping european infighting between noblemen and getting europe unified as one bloc. They constantly reigned in tyrants and negotiated peace between european barons. The church composed the literate and mediate class. >tranny mascotAgain, christians are overwhelmingly against transgender stuff. I don’t know why you attack them and not atheists >A 2022 Pew Research Center survey found that 76% of atheists accept the existence of transgender people. This is higher than the 38% of all American adults who share this view>>39245802>it’s in your bibleYour interpretation of the bible doesn’t make devout christians not christian because a person who hates their religion believes in it differently to the actual believers. You’re asking me to accept a definition of christianity you invent, and believe in it over the conduct of the actually devout. It’s just pure cope. I’ll just define paganism as homosexual pederastic sex because catamites existed and say anything other than that can’t be pagan. It’s just asinine reasoning. You’re faced with christian art like dante, shakespeare, chartres cathedral, fra angelico and raphael and your only response is cope
>>39245864>Your interpretation of the bible doesn’t make devout christians not christian because a person who hates their religion believes in it differently to the actual believers.one of the weakest copes from christians ive ever seen. "I dont have to follow my own religion because you dont follow it". what a weak and dull cult you follow> I know actual european history.then you should know that all that you love in your church is pagan, and all that you hate is jewish>citing dante as a source of christian artlmao, lol. literally half his references are to pagan gods. he wrote the comedy explicitly as a tribute to the works of virgil, as if that wasnt fucking obvious. have you even read dante?
>>39228933Satanic.
>>39245935Genuinely, outside your schizo mind, where is the cope? You have a millennia of christians making art expressing their christianity, but you insist they were doing it wrong, despite not believing in the faith. You’re asserting that christianity is what YOU SAY it is, rather than what christians do. >all you love in your church is paganAnother retarded unqualified statement. Again, it’s very clear you have an emotional hangup over christianity, so it can axiomatically never produce anything good or decent. >lol half his referencesYou realise most of them occur in hell? He respected paganism and its ancestry, but his beliefs and those reflected in the comedy are some of the most ardently christian you can find. There’s a point or virgil’s continuing failure as the journey goes on- because the human reason and base self interested paganism he represents cannot comprehend the whole of reality. I know for a fact you haven’t read it when you say this shit. Why do you think virgil can’t proceed past the higher point of purgatory? Because he is spiritually deficient. The entire fucking narrative is a christian allegory. You just, like a retard, can’t distinguish a visual motif from the ethos. Read the last canto of paradiso and tell me it’s not a christian ideal of unity and forgiveness governing dante.
>>39245984no one reads paradiso cause its boring and shit, also the realms of heaven are all named after roman gods (mars, venus, jupiter etc) where is your God among the heavens? I see no Jew up here
>>39245984Why are you even replying to that gibberish? Posters like him immediately interpret any attempt to converse in good faith as a display of weakness. His IQ is too low to understand what you're saying, arguing online is all about endless blustering to "assert dominance" for his type. Not everyone can be saved or reasoned with, they just have to be made to submit or destroyed.
>>39246029>no one reads paradiso Ie, i’m a normalfaggot retard that reads 1/3 of a book because i’m too stupid to comprehend the complicated parts of it >realms of heaven are named after roman godsThey’re named after celestial bodies, and it’s explicitly stated none of this is literal, it’s a why for dante to understand how virtue is distinguished. Also shit like the primum mobile or “the sun” is not pagan. Neither is empyrean, the actual heaven heaven part. >where is your God among the heavensare you unironcially making the commie “hurrr there’s no deities in a telescope” argument? Dante kept the names of the planets he derived from tradition because he respected it while being a christian. You know, he wasn’t mentally mindbroken like you and insistent that everything he liked couldn’t possibly have been from a worldview he didn’t share. Explain to me why all these pagan figures are in hell and not heaven? Or why it’s angels governing the celestial spheres and not gods? >>39246048Yes I understand that. Unironically this whole “reality is just competing wills” shit has nothing to do with the paganism he larps about, which was heavily based on temperance and communal life. But why just let retards spew their nonsense without challenging it?
>>39246076>“reality is just competing wills”whoever said this? my problem with christians is you shit up my website with your grifting israeli nonsense faggotry. its funny all this shidding, pissing and crying coming from your end started with a simple question; why are the males brown? why are you pushing this racemixing faggot shit on my board?

Why do certain preachers turn me off of Christianity? I just don’t see a Christian when I look at an Asian man. Maybe bc I never really knew any Christian Asians or could be something else that just doesn’t seem right about it.
>>39246089>>39246104I would like to help provide others (normals) with clarity on this issue. Are there any passages of scripture that contain any mention either for or against miscegenation?

how essential is trinitarianism to the Christian identity?
>>39256052IMO, not even correct, so not needed. Jesus is not God. Just be prepared for folks to call you Muslim or a JW.
>>39256296Amen! Glad to see there are other non-trinitarians on here.
>>39253890It's a cultural meme that has spread like a virus. Most (I would say) who claim to believe it to be true think that they "have to" believe it, and don't truly believe it themselves. I've never heard a truly convincing argument for Infernalism, and watching people like David Bentley "The Hart Attack" Hart obliterate the common arguments against universal salvation brings me much joy.Also, I had meant to share this video a few threads ago, but forgot until now.Larry Chapp Interviews Dr Jordan Wood on Universal Salvation - https://youtu.be/watch?v=wuSf5Ro9fDE
>>39256052Do a web search for "trinity in the bible" and see if you can explain away everything that comes up without being intellectually dishonest.

>>39256735Jesus embodied the gospel message at baptism. Jesus did the word of God. The word of God is what comes through the Spirit.Logos most literally means a thought in the mind being expressed. It's about the concept behind the words. Christ is how God speaks.Jesus spoke the word and did the word.

>>39256448>Like what? In your own words and without typing a paragraphI think you think I'm arguing the other side, I'm not. I believe an honest reading of scripture will prove to anybody seeking truth that Christ was God (the Son). The problem is these people are often unable to be sincere, both in their reading and in their arguments. You can argue with intellectually dishonest people for hours and achieve nothing.Myself, who came to Christianity through a false Christ (the "Gnostic" Christ), if anything I was predisposed towards disbelieving in the triune God, as opposed to a more Marcionite type view. But I read the scripture with an open mind, taking each verse in the context of the entirety of scripture, and found that the Trinity was the most reasonable interpretation.
