You've heard Jow Forums ask "why do you lift?" The answer is because God made me in his image, because my body is a temple for the holy spirit. Because I seek the true, the beautiful and the good not only in my thoughts and speech but also in my form and actions.
You are invited to take the God pill with me, the final red-pill. Use it wisely and may your health increase forever.
May your gains double this month and your motivation be a roaring fire.

We are all reflection of god. Treat it with respect it deserves.
Same, hail abraxas. Let's pray for the day of the demiurge's destruction to arrive sooner.
Main reason I lift is honestly because I identify as a big guy. Always been, always will be. I used to be chubby, then gained some muscle then gotten outright fat and even during the time I was thin after a growth spurt I felt like it just didnt fit with who I am.
So I guess my options are either being a fat guy or being muscular and I would rather choose the second option. I just cant see myself as a skinny dude, it doesnt fit me or my personality.
posting cringe
Fuck off Jesus-fanboy.
Christfag larping is real high tier cringe
I lift to be physically ready when our society will collapse
Thing is, I know you're being ironic, but that doesn't make you any less right.
absolutely based
You are treating the holy spirit as separate from God and the son. This is not orthodox nor canon by any stretch. Please study the Bible and related theological texts.
I, too, lift for our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ
also for girls too
and for myself a bit
its like an 60/20/20 split respectively
>true
>God
Lmao
I am a Christian and I believe in God and Jesus as his only son and my Lord. I lift so I can become a Crusader knight because the way society is headed we are in for war and civilizational collapse. We will rebuild. I will lay down my life for my brethren as Christ has instructed. For a better world, one that we almost had but lost because of our sinful nature.
How do I take the God pill? I've just finished my pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostella. Spend most of my time walking with a quite religious person. I did feel somehow overwhelmed when I saw the shrine of St. James.
I always dip my hands in holy water and make the sign of the cross when I enter a church. It's not because I was taught to do so I think I feel like something needs to be there, but I can't grasp it. How can I understand?

The jew has arrived to subvert once again. Pay no need to people like this my brothers.
>something came from nothing
>*tip tip tip tip tip tip*
Meditate deeply on the word of God, reach out to him as you do so, the best ways to get a stronger relationship with God is through good works and consistent meditation, not traditional practices alone. Best of luck to you brother

Read the Bible, the works of the Early Chuch fathers. Read Summa Theologea by St. Thomas Aquinas.
Read the works of St. John of Kronstadt. And more Orthodox Christian writers.
Some good books to read are The Everlasting Man by G. K. Chesterton and Cold-Case Christianity: A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the Gospels, a book by J. Warner Wallace. Study Apologetics.
Tl;dr
Read books, dont go to the internet for information. The internet is no longer trustworthy. It is subverted by the jew.
Girls laughed at me in high school gym class.
This is relevant. Post made on Jow Forums ages ago.
I just feel like I'm a retard when reading Summa Theologica since I need to reread almost every page 10 times before I even slightly understand what he's saying
will I slowly understand it better as I keep reading, or will it be like this all the way through?
>You are treating the holy spirit as separate from God and the son.
What? Where did I say the Holy spirit is separate from God?? The bible says your body is a temple for the holy spirit...
He is separate from the father and the son. The trinity is 3 distinct persons, sharing one essence.
The holy spirit proceeds from the father, so does the son, they are individuals but united. But they are all united, a tri-unity, hypostatic union. All are God.

And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.

In reality American christians are the biggest supoorters of Israel worldwide with other christian groups close behind
The bible has over 70 books. Those genealogies were important for hebrews long ago, not so much now except as references I suppose.
Read Eccelsiastes, Proverbs, Psalms, Isaiah, Pauls' Letters, the NT, etc...tons of wisdom.
> Quotes the go to passage for normies who want to shit on the Bible
ah yes, the brainlet general. High IQ people see salvation FROM the jew, not salvation BY the jew
Have you tried simply skipping the yellow book section of the bible? How about just reading the Gospel?
Praise be to the Bard of Gains
just simply skip what is bad and illogical
what a great solution
genetic fallacy, try again.
The genetic fallacy is a fallacy of irrelevance that is based solely on someone's or something's history, origin, or source rather than its current meaning or context

What's wrong with gnostics? Simon Magus didn't do anything wrong.
>worshiping a literal jew
you cant refute or explain this. you are the goodest of goys
skip it just because its names
why would you read a bunch of names and then complain about it?
Fpbp
blessings.
I just pointed out your logical fallacies, if you have something meaningful and honest to share then go for it.
Gnosis can be fine if seen as a path to faith and understanding, a form of metaphysical inquiry.
But gnosticism whether it arises in a Christian, Moslem or other climate, it is a fabric of more or less disordered speculations, syncretic mixtures borrowed from different traditions, often of Manichean origin; and it is a mythomania characterized by a dangerous mixture of exoteric and esoteric concepts, trivial spiritism, occultism, and so forth. Of course it contains some truth, but the devil is in the details, satan often mixes truth with falsehood to trick his victims.
And from what I've seen many people who identify as gnostics have an irrational hate of the OT, and seem to think they have a privileged position to make judgments upon christianity and God himself due to some subjective experience they've had.
>The bible has over 70 books
66 books
I worship God, not a race. God created all the races and exists before and above them. Race worship is what pagans do and it's cringe.
The fact that God incarnated as a hebrew doesn't change the fact that he spoke the truth and sacrificed himself for us. Meanwhile the jews rejected him (just as he predicted) and his religion and church was nourished and grown by gentiles.
>just simply skip what is bad and illogical

these 'sections' are useful for historical analysis, though nothing to dwell on deeply

There are 79 books in the Greek Orthodox Bible, including all the books in the Catholic Bible, plus Psalm 151 and 3 Maccabees. The Catholic Bible has 77, while Protestant Bibles have 66 because Protestants do not recognize the Apocryphal and Deuterocanonical books written during the 400 years between the close of the Old Testament and beginning of the New Testament. Although they are part of the Septuagint, which is what the apostles and Christ quoted from mostly.
I think prots are missing some books for sure. But only in the OT, our NT's are identical.
>What's wrong with gnostics?
A shorter answer would be what isn’t wrong with them
Ecclesiastes 9:5

So much for heaven :(

keep reading, why did you stop there?
you worship a kike on a stick. well actually not just any kike. the king of kikes. you are a very good goy indeed.
I mainly lift because I can spend my time alone doing what I like
Posting in a blessed thread
christ was aryan , whites are the true israelites
Doesn't make it right. They've been led astray
I started lifting because I wanted to be big and strong. I am 6’5” and people have always expected me to be big and strong, but I was weak and naturally unathletic my whole childhood.
Later I lifted for Thor and to be a Viking. Now I lift for my Lord Jesus Christ and for my wife+kids. I consider all of it to be the same journey toward a more holy and platonic me
wtf?
i looked it up and it actually says this in the bible
>something external to the universe is bound by the laws of the universe

I've heard that line before. You're either a gullible user from 8/pol/ falling for d&c tactics or a kike

>lifting for yourself
The biggest cope imaginable. Literally anyone who steps foot in a gym does so to improve something right? To get stronger, lose weight, look better, etc. Zero people go to the gym to be in a worse place then when they started. Saying you lift for yourself is the vaguest most insufferable bullshit ever. We get it, you think youre a god now that you found something that doesnt make you want to kill yourself
>he lifts for women
To be desired by the opposite sex
>he lifts for strength
To be more physically capable
>he lifts for aesthetics
To be the best looking dude there
>I lift for myself
???
Saying you lift for yourself without being able to break it down further is admitting you dont lift for a particular reason except that you have literally nothing else. Shut the fuck up. Bunch of fake deep faggots acting as if moving pieces of metal through 3d space will give them a higher purpose. Its fun, healthy, feels good, and has physical benefits. Thats it, holy fuck. Stop trying to make shit deeper than it is so you can finally start adding things to the "Reasons Not to Commit Suicide" side of the Venn diagram that is your pathetic existence

Lies like this are jewish ploys to make Christianity less likable
Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the furthest thing from the "jew" you are thinking of. In the times of Jesus the present day "jew" that comes to mind when you hear that word were called sadducees, pharisees and Edomites
Cont'd.. 1/3
No jew alive today is a legitimate Hebrew, Israelite or Judahite. They are all descended from the Edomites conquered converted and integrated into Judaea in 125 BC by John Hyrcanus. They become thenceforth known as Judaeans. This is attested to in Josephus’ Antiquities of the Judaeans, (13:257-258, 13:395-397 et al.) and Strabo’s Geography (book 16) as well as later sources such as the Biblical Encyclopedia, Vol. 2, Col. 1187. These Idumaeo-Judaeans rose to the heights of power in the synagogues and in politics in Judaea under the Roman client king Herod the Edomite who tried to kill Christ in his infancy. At the time of Christ many of the Judaeans, and most of the Pharisees, Sadducees and politicians were of the stock of Esau-Edom and not Jacob-Israel. For an understanding of where God stands concerning Esau-Edom see Malachi 1:2-3 and the book of Obadiah. These Edomites were ancestral foes of Israel who had mingled with the cursed Canaanites who in turn had mingled with the Kenites. (the offspring of Cain and the mysterious women of Nod) These Idumaeo-Judaeans were no more Judahites or Israelites than an Ashkenazi jew is a German or Slav or a Sephardic jew is an Italian or a Spaniard. These are the false Judaeans which St. John warned the assemblies about. (Revelation 2:9 and 3:9) John the Baptist called them a race of vipers. (Matthew 3:7) Christ called them children of the devil (John 8:44) and a race of vipers. (Matthew 23:33) In Romans chapter 9 St. Paul discusses these circumstances concerning the Edomites at some length. Many other scriptures also bear witness to this. “Jews began to call themselves Hebrews and Israelites in 1860” -Encyclopedia Judaica 1971 Vol 10:23 “Strictly speaking it is incorrect to call an Ancient Israelite a Jew or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or a Hebrew.” -1980 Jewish Almanac, p. 3

“The modern Jew is the product of the Talmud.” -Michael Rodkinson, in preface of Babylonian Talmud, page XI “Pharisaism shaped the character of Judaism and the life and thought of the Jew for all the future.” -Isidore Singer, The Jewish Encyclopedia, 9:665-666 "Indeed the Edomites later became completely absorbed in Jewry and under their aggressive intrusion the Jews became racially the medium of expression for the Edomite ideal for which Herod the Great had first given political formation. The Edomite intrusion into Judaism at every historical point of contact is fully discussed in the volumes of the Cambridge Ancient History." -Biblica Encyclopedia, Vol. 2, Col. 1187
