If Stevie was pro-1488 and white supremacist (((they))) would just find something else to shill against him. You can't have a person with the perfect ideals. I respectfully disagree with him on that, and a few other minor issues but desu it's not going to break or destroy my opinion of him. His church is pretty mixed up, and I can see why he wouldn't alienate people for Christ on the grounds of the worldly and temporary condition they're born in. Besides, he's had like 10 kids, what are you doing for the white race?

Fuck this faggot

Hes great in every way except race.
He is all i could ever ask for in a pastor.
He tells his members to throw their TV out of the window and stop watching Jewish media, and so I believe with leadership like him, race-mixing would not even be an issue. Especially because he heavily enforces that wives are subservient to their husbands and girls are basically their fathers property until marriage. This would eliminate 99% of race mixing since most white fathers would not allow it with this sort of family power structure.
I believe its not his role to fight the race battle but when it comes to christianity he is on point.

>how much is salvation then?
It doesn't cost anything but it isn't considionless either.

And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me.
Matthew 10:38

Let no sin therefore reign in your mortal body, so as to obey the lusts thereof.
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of iniquity unto sin; but present yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of justice unto God.
For sin shall not have dominion over you; for you are not under the law, but under grace.
What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey, whether it be of sin unto death, or of obedience unto justice.
Romans 6:12-16

For the Spirit himself giveth testimony to our spirit, that we are the sons of God.
And if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God, and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.
Rom 8:16-17

>also lol what is the sacred scripture you are talking about?
The books the Catholic and Apostolic Church dogmatically defined as such, you know, the ones you supposedly base your 500 year old religion on. The word the Bible itself is of Catholic origin.

conditionless*

Not /ourpastor/ never will be.

the only condition is faith. if you have some god that demands anything else from you then. well.

Let's put this into context. You believe a man can do or speak any evil imaginable from raping children, to murder, to torturing the innocent and remain unrepentant after doing all of these things for the entirety of his life, but he is granted eternal salvation because at one point early on he paid 5 seconds of lip service to God. This is what you actually believe, despite scripture teaching the exact opposite.

Abstaining from sin is a work. Faith itself is a work. The path is narrow, not wide.

oh thanks I didn't know what I believed before you told me. lol moron.

Youre a cuck

What you believe is contrary to scripture and literally satanic.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, immodesty, luxury,
Idolatry, witchcrafts, enmities, contentions, emulations, wraths, quarrels, dissensions, sects,
Envies, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like. Of the which I foretell you, as I have foretold to you, that they who do such things shall not obtain the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is, charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, longanimity,
Mildness, faith, modesty, continency, chastity. Against such there is no law.
And they that are Christ's, have crucified their flesh, with the vices and concupiscences.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Galatians 5:19-25

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer. And you know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in himself.
1 John 3:15

>ONE TINY ASPECT OF THE RELIGION
It isn't "literally" a tiny aspect. Heresy itself is a huge deal. It's a huge deal because it's a doctrine of the faith, making it critical in necessity to understand. It's actually more than that, it's a blasphemy against God to say that he forgives unrepentant murders or that such should not go unpunished but also receive eternal life, because to say that, is to imply that God is not just.

>Stop conflating "being saved" with "living a righteous life"
Scripture teaches the exact opposite of what you're saying.

Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God?
1 Cor 6:9

unjust do not inherit the kingdom of God, therefore only just do, therefore being just is necessary to being saved

Considering you're a protestant you should probably take arguments based entirely in scripture seriously. Take some time to think about where exalting the individual as the arbiter to interpret scripture has gotten you. I used to also be a protestant and even believed in OSAS myself at one point, but it's wrong. I'll pray for you, fa m.

I won't know, it just seems like a joke; they can't think for themselves.

It's like this dingus right here:
>You're wrong because hurr

They don't know what they believe in, someone does all of the thinking for them. They obviously can't use their own scripture because they don't even know what it is. They can't read Greek, they don't know what the Sinaiticus says or what Irenius or Chrystosom said on the subject. They don't know who worked with Origen's Hexapla or who the religious aide to Constantine was. They can't read Latin. They don't even know what a Duoy-Rheim is.

I can't make sense of what you are saying dude. I have no idea if saved people can be unsaved again, but I would imagine someone could be unsaved if they lost faith. And I never talked about this I tried to explain to you that it's just about faith. you sound like a projecting lunatic to me at this point.

He is correct. Sola Fide is bunk.
Grace is the free gift of jesus death. before that no one was saved. Yet Paul tells us that it can be lost. Jesus gave us sacraments to keep us ina state of grace after having our sins washed away by his blood and the laver of water (bpatism)

Read
Galatians 3:25-27 then Galatians 5:19-21

Galatians 3:25-27
25 But after the faith is come, we are no longer under a pedagogue.
26 For you are all the children of God by faith, in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ, have put on Christ. (They are baptized, justified and sanctified)= Saved

Galatians 5:19-21
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, immodesty, luxury,
20 Idolatry, witchcrafts, enmities, contentions, emulations, wraths, quarrels, dissensions, sects,
21 Envies, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like. Of the which I foretell you, as I have foretold to you, that they who do such things shall NOT obtain the kingdom of God.

Paul says that those who have actually become the Sons of God and put on Christ (are justified and sanctified and baptised)=Saved will NOT inherit the kingdom of God if they commit grave sins.
Anyone who teaches otherwise is heretical.

People believe once saved always saved because it is easy to adopt in their life without any accountability.

In Serbia the Prthodox church shills for acceptance of other niggers: gypsies, greeks, convert turks, jews and other trash

shut up there are not grave sins, there are sins, Jesus died once for all sins, past present and future sins, we have to get better, when we accept Jesus we dont magically become perfect, if you believe you dont sin anymore when you accept Jesus you are saying you dont need Jesus anymore, you are the heretic

I ignore it because it's just bullshit. you can argue that believing in jesus doesn't save all you want. I've read all your arguments before. I've read all the pasted scriptures before. My soul is already saved and yours isn't, this is why I won't listen to you. you should listen to me, yet you won't. you even went as far as to tell me what i believe, and then say it's satanic.

you're a tragic joke.

St. Paul shows how the neglect of certain good works will send even a Christian believer to damnation: "But if any man have not care of his own, and especially of those of his house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel." (1 Tim. 5:8). Our Lord tells us that if the Master (God) returns and finds His servant sinning, rather than performing works of obedience, He "shall separate him, and shall appoint him his portion with unbelievers." (Luke 12:46).

What the Lord requires obedience ?
Yep and if you bible was translated correctly.
John 3:36 would tell you exactly that/

>converting to Orthodoxy
you are in for surprise. Not a single orthodox church defends European interests.

>If you don’t love niggers, you can’t be here
>My opinion matters even though I’m cowering and hiding behind a memeflag

Woosh...
You are arguing with Paul, not me.
Who said people don't sin after they are saved ? I never said that. that is why jesus gave his apostles the ability to forgive sin...

The Bible teaches that the confessing of sins is a usual requisite for obtaining forgiveness.
Numbers 5, 6-7: Speak unto the children of Israel. When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit . . . Then they shall confess their sin which they have done, etc.
Proverbs 28, 13: He that covereth his sins shall not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
II Samuel 12, 13: After David confessed his sins to the prophet Nathan he was given assurance of pardon.
Luke 23, 43: When the thief on the cross confessed, our Lord promised him paradise.
I John 1, 9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, etc.
Matt. 3, 5-6: Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan. And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
Acts 19, 18: And many that believed came (to the Apostles), and confessed, and shewed their deeds.

Why would one need to be forgiven if Jesus already forgave our sins?

Called my country out on purging downers. Retarded Christian

when you accept Jesus and ask for forgiveness you are already forgiven of everything, you need to read when Paul says that he knows he can do everything, that he isnt bind by the law, but not everything is good for him, he knows his soul is secured

>there are not grave sins
>but you're the heretic

He that knoweth his brother to sin a sin which is not to death, let him ask, and life shall be given to him, who sinneth not to death. There is a sin unto death: for that I say not that any man ask.
1 John 5:16

Scripture itself teaches there are sins that are mortal and sins that are venial.

Jesus saves, but he doesn't save anyone who doesn't want to be saved. It's necessary to overcome one's sins (through grace mind you) to be saved. As 1 Cor 6:9-11 clearly teaching, which is aimed at believers, you cannot be unrighteous and be saved.

Do we have to confess to a human or does confessing to God during prayer suffice ?

if you have accepted Jesus and you sin, you can get a death sensce by someone, doesnt mean you lose your salvation

if you have accepted Jesus and you sin, you can get a death sence by someone, doesnt mean you lose your salvation, but by the same rod you will be judged

>Jesus saves, but he doesn't save anyone who doesn't want to be saved

a broken clock is right two times a day. this is the first true thing you've said.

>It's necessary to overcome one's sins

not true, and this is unfortunately why you will go to hell. I believe this mindset will make you lose faith in the future. If that happens, try to remember this thread and that one time you said believing in jesus was "literally satanic".

I'm headed off now. need some sleep.

Incorrect. No one in the early church believed that. Absolutely zero people believed that.
You need to look up the term catechumen.
For many centuries of the church from the time of Paul a person was justified in the belief in Jesus Christ's sacrifice.
They were called cathecumens. It took from 1-5 years before they were allowed to be baptised. If they died before they where baptized they went to hell. That is what the early church taught and still teaches today.
Baptism AND the blood of Christ cleanses you of all sin, sins you have committed and the original sin of Adam.
If you die at that moment you go straight to heaven because you are in a state of grace.
Paul clearly tells us that people that are justified and sanctified can lose their state of grace.
Jesus however gave the apostles certain sacraments to help people regain a state of grace. the first being the Sacrament of confession. the second being the ordination of other people who could also forgive sin.
It doesn't matter that your personal interpretation believes otherwise. Jesus left us a church as the bulwark of the truth and the holder of tradition which Paul tells us to follow.

TRS doesn't even talk about this faggot. I have to say the kikes have successful created d&c between altright and many third position people. Believing in literal nonsense like this. They hardly ever talk about religion because they know as well as everyone else it opens up a huge can of worms of D&C which many christkikes trying to open on the daily.

The Bible teaches that Christ gave to the validly ordained ministers of his own Church the power to forgive sins.
2 Cor. 5, 20: Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us; we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
John 20-21: Then said Jesus to them again. Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so I send you. 23, Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them: And whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
Matt. 18, 18: Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
2 Cor. 5, 18, 20: And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the Ministry of reconciliation.

He doesn't say pray to my father for your forgiveness. he tells us to confess our sins to "each other". he was talking to the apostles.

i mean, the Church is Jesus, he is the rock, not Paul, not Peter, he is the way, he is the one who saves, even Paul makes this clarification, even Paul says he's from Christ, you should do the same, im not condeming you, but trying to free people who think they can lose the salvation they have accepted from Jesus

And such some of you were; but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Spirit of our God.

Paul refers to those already saved, and warns them that they will lose their salvation if they sin mortally. He doesn't say "you will be punished but you won't lose your salvation", he says you won't be saved at all if you do these things.

that is right, but remember None is righteous, no, not one

if you are one of those, and dont have accepted Christ's salvation, for sure arent going to enter the kingdom of God

That is your personal interpretation of scripture. You have no authority when it comes to scripture. Jesus gave that authority to his church to be the bulwark of the truth. The bible clearly tells us this.
It is just because there are so many different interpretations as to what the Bible means. It is the sad result of the doctrine of the right of private judgment. Every Protestant denomination claims to be founded on the Scriptures. Then how can they all be right? Is the Methodist right, or the Lutheran, or the Baptist or the Episcopalian? They can't be right for they all differ in doctrine and government. If they do not differ, then why are they separated? Protestantism says, "Let each one read the Bible for himself and then the Holy Ghost will guide him into the truth." Well, then the Holy Ghost must be blamed for the Babylon of religions around us. If the Holy Ghost guides one man he becomes a Baptist, if he guides another to be a Jehovah's Witness that does not believe Jesus is God, he becomes something else and so on until people give up religion entirely. The Holy Ghost inspires no one using his own private interpretation. The Holy Ghost was guaranteed to the Church and not to individuals in the teaching of truth.

BASED

Good question. Jesus church teaches that it has to be face to face.
To understand what a sacrament is, and what it does for a person, one must know the correct, the traditional Christian, definition of a sacrament. Properly defined, a sacrament is "an outward sign instituted by Christ to give grace" (holiness) to the soul . . . that is to say, it is a divinely prescribed ceremony of the Church in which the words and action combine to form what is at the same time both a sign of divine grace and a fount of divine grace. When this special grace – distinct from ordinary, inspirational grace – is imparted to the soul, the Holy Spirit of God is imparted to the soul, imbuing the soul with divine life, uniting the soul to Christ.

As the Scriptures point out, this grace is the grace of salvation – without it man is, in a very real sense, isolated from Christ. And as the Scriptures point out, Christ gave His Church seven sacraments to serve as well-springs of this ineffable, soul-saving grace, the grace which flows from His sacrifice on Calvary:

PENANCE – the sacrament, also known as Confession, through which Christ forgives sin and restores the soul to grace: "Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained." (John 20:22-23. Also see Matt. 18:18).

HOLY ORDERS – the sacrament of ordination which empowers priests to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, administer the sacraments, and officiate over all the other proper affairs of the Church: "For every high priest taken from among men, is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins . . . Neither doth any man take the honor to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was." (Heb. 5:1-4. Also see Acts 20:28, 1 Tim. 4:14).

So it has to be form a properly ordain apostolic priest
