Tfw you find yourself gravitating more and more to religion

There sure isn't
I have returned to catholism when u saw how degenerate america has become.
Connor Roberts
There's believing in religion and then there's "believing in religion". You'll find that most people fall into the second category. One of the things that pisses me off most about the world is the rampant religious hypocrisy. If you truly study, learn and try to implement any religion into your life with honesty, that's usually a good thing imo.
Easton Watson
Only if you use it as an excuse to dull your intellectual pursuits.
Wrestle with God every day.
God exists (but he might not be where you think he is)
Christianity is a nearly infinite pool of wisdom, so never get comfortable. Continue to dive.

All regular religious folk do is defend and excuse extremists because "I BELIEVE WHAT THEY BELIEVE BUT I NEVER KILLED ANYONE", fuck off. Protecting these insane assholes solely because you can't admit your religion has flaws is the most woman think I can think of.

Religion is wrong. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, not any religious church, group, or organization. Man is agenda-driven, selfish, and covetous by nature, so anything manmade will lead you down the wrong path. The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth. Study the scriptures with an honest intent to understand it and you will never be led astray.
Daily reminder that the Catholic church is the actual devil and so are all of her children including Protestants.

It's time to agree on the most fundemental elements of Christianity, and to bring the message of the Christ to the people. Not to argue of what 'real Christianity' is.

1. I'm a pedophile. This whole site is regularly visited and enjoyed by us, if you didn't know. Don't throw around that word, trying to cause false alarm, like "Oh, pedophiles?! Where?!" It won't work, and it's unnecessary.
2. It's Orthodox, not "Orthodoxists". Again, that's Or-tho-dox.
3. What are you talking about? Both Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy are ancient Churches which descend directly from the apostolic era. They're the exact opposite of heretical.
Colton Wood
The most extreme Christians who actually do and believe exactly what their religion says to do are holy saints, though.

3. All of your traditions and teachings are proven wrong by tons and tons of scripture, so no, your "church" is not a direct descendant of the apostolic era.

Praying to images, statues, or other people besides God the Father through Jesus alone is idol worship. And no I'm not protestant. I don't want to "reform" the church, God is going to destroy everyone who follows their teachings.
Jesus is saying that fencesitting Christians will not be accepted into the Kingdom.
Sebastian Gray
>Theres nothing wrong with being a conservative christian protestant, is there?
Except for the fact that you're believing in fairy tales, no nothing at all. I'd be nice if there was a god that cared about us but it's insanely egotistical to think so.
Henry Myers
I wish I could be like you OP. I want to believe, but my perception of reality has been too corrupted to believe something so good could exist.
Dylan Hall
Calm down, son, You can express your feelings without resorting to name calling.
Anyway, they don't pray to idols. They use statues (and for the Orthodox, icons) to remind them of the person they're praying to, who then prays to God in turn on their behalf. The images help to clarify and concentrate the prayer on the person. In other words, that person intercedes for them when asked through prayer, which amplifies the strength of the original petitioner.
It's a custom and belief that goes back right to the early church.
Also, a protestant is literally anyone who isn't apart of an ancient church, so... you. We're not just talking about Lutherans here.
Wyatt Lopez
>fencesitting Christians will not be accepted into the Kingdom.
Personally I conceptualize "The Kingdom of God" is symbolically representative of "A state of constant truth telling, and moral living".
If you are lukewarm in your truth seeking, you will not find the truth. You will not enter the Kingdom of God.
Jaxon Brooks
Romans 3:10
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Psalms 14
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
2The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
3They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one

I would add that the presence of our Lord isn't in the statuary cluttering about the church, not even in that big wooden sculpture of dead Jew on a stick.
The presence of our Lord is in the Host - the communion bread. This is (I think - I'm new) stored in the box behind the altar.

Connor Young
As it was described to me, it's like asking a friend who's in a better position to help you accomplish a task that you could otherwise do yourself, albeit not as well. The saints, because they are in heaven with Yahweh, can intercede directly on your behalf.
The quote you provided simply means that your salvation can only come through Jesus. Anyone can ask for you benefit, though.
Utilizing imagery in prayer isn't idolatry. If it were, most self-professed Christians since the very early (before the 5th c. BCE) would be idolaters. They don't worship the statues, man.
Nolan Edwards
While I have a range of misgivings about the history of christianity, not to mention its current deplorable state, I can't help but feel as a Pole that conservative, traditionalist catholicism is intrinsic to our national identity and might still be viable as a means of preserving my people. Orban's statement about Hungary and Poland being united in defense of Christianity gives me hope of a new counter-progressive reformation.
Reading Leszek Kolakowski (an excerpt from 'Modernity of Trial') has also helped convince me of the continued relevance of Christianity in preserving the spiritual health of the west. Christianity is diametrically opposed to utopianism and nihilism, which are the two plagues which are killing the west, and the moral code it preaches is firmly patriarchal.
Observing the pervasiveness of casual sex and degeneracy has really brought out the inner fire and brimstone fundamentalist in me, and I wish all the thots, chads, fags and trannies could comprehend the existence of God, let alone the wrath they might have incurred through their debauchery.
Gavin Lee
>As it was described to me
And that person is wrong, according to the scriptures.
Utilizing imagery in prayer is idolatry. If you pray to statues or images, you are an idolator. Your rank or status does not matter.
Exodus 20
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me
The scriptures once again, prove you wrong. Idol worship is idol worship no matter what colored robe it wears.
