@BeSaintly What are you talking about you absolute retard?? The Catholic Church annahilated local cultures throughout the Americas and Asia, imposed faith often thru violence. And appealing to “diversity” is idiotic, leftist new age bs. Are you even Christian??

This was something that helped push me to Catholicism, ultimately Scripture was what made me convert but these things just can’t be ignored.
God’s Church elevates culture
Every other religion erases and corrupts it
Blub 🇻🇦🇵🇭@BlubFunnies
It's not just in Japan. The way I see it, Protestants everywhere (particularly Evangelicals) push their norms influenced by their own culture onto everywhere they go. Catholicism, on the other hand, elevates the cultures of the world and thus shows the universality of the Church.

@TexasRose1836 Rhetoric. You’re worshipping. A statue of Baal isn’t literally Baal. They worship through it the same as you.

We Orthodox Christians do not pray to icons, nor do we believe icons "save" us.
Icons are holy images that lift our minds and hearts to the persons they depict: Christ, the Theotokos, and the Saints. We venerate (honor) them with respect and love, just as we might kiss a photo of a loved one. The honor passes to the prototype—the real person—not the wood and paint.
Salvation comes from Christ alone—through His Cross, Resurrection, and the life of the Church. Icons simply help us pray. They remind us of the Incarnation: God became visible in the flesh, so we can depict Him.
No magic. No idolatry. Just love and remembrance.

@dragodimitrov @TheTrueTA Did Jesus want his church burning people alive over 400 years? How about actively protecting r4pist priests??
English
@DJfromIndy @ImprecatoryOne Church history, as in the church that burned people alive over 400 years? Female pope? Orgies in Vatican? Medici Pope? Indulgences? Actively protecting r4pist priests?? The church is massively corrupt and youre all eating up medieval psyops. Adherence to the bible is all we have
English
@Mukelei2 @ImprecatoryOne When it comes to doctrine, I’m not sure genetic fallacy should be dismissed. If we all are working from the same set of scriptures, and you interpret them one way, I interpret them another way, a belief existing in majority for much of church history should add a lot of weight.
English
You should question your theology on a topic if it didn’t exist for the first 1500 years of the church.

@MrWHOsecond2 It’s a very odd move. Ofc ppl wanna understand. But your attitude about it is trash. Too defensive.
English
I don’t want to argue with you, so please stop making a fuss about my move from Evangelicalism to the Orthodox Church.
In my opinion, "True Way" is following Jesus, not a particular Christian denomination
Thank you.
ミハイル@MrWHOsecond2
I believe the Orthodox Church is a wonderful church with apostolic succession, and the same goes for the Roman Catholic Church, for example. But, at the same time, I have no intention of looking down on Evangelicals or other Protestants. All Christians are brothers and sisters.

@Konraddin I studied history, logical reasoning, and the bible and it led me to Protestantism.
English
Funny, I read the Bible finally and it led me directly to the Catholic Church.
Ryan Denton@TexasPreacher
In any given Protestant church, you'll find scores of people, astronomically so in fact, who were once papists. Their conversion was rarely complicated or dramatic. They just started reading their Bible.
English
@Krisdreemurr05 @sola_chad Because the institution is corrupt. It burned people alive over 400 years. It actively protects ped0ph1le r4pist priests. Catholics commit a genetic fallacy. What was then isn’t what is now.
English
@sola_chad The Catholic Church created the Bible, He compiled and transcribed each book and decided which ones were included and which were excluded from the canon. Why do you trust a book and not the person who created the book in the first place?
English
The Catholic Church doesn’t want you to know this, but Jesus paid for ALL your sins so that you wouldn’t have to participate in unbiblical practices like this.

@orthobro @MrWHOsecond2 Irrelevant to my comment, “orthobro”. No surprise, logic isn’t your strength

@Mukelei2 @MrWHOsecond2 Fallacy of argumentum ad populum

@LizzieMarbach Here’s what goes on during the Festival of Saint Fermin. It’s the same people taking part in those rituals everyone shares.
English
@LizzieMarbach I’m Hispanic. These celebrations are known to be hedonistic erotomania. Just plain Sodom and Gomorrah level of depravity. There’s absolutely insane afterparties. This is a known fact across the Hispanic world, the more Catholic the name of a festivity, the crazier the parties.
English
This is completely foreign to biblical Christianity.
Protestia@Protestia

@valerie_reads Actually it’s not even a trend. Data clearly says otherwise. It’s pure hype on twitter.
English
As a person who became a Catholic one click before it was cool, I would like to say to anyone considering becoming a Catholic: don’t be put off because now it’s a trend.
Ignore everything and come.

Women negotiating deals, take this advice from @shondarhimes: Never enter a negotiation you’re not willing to walk away from. Knowing your worth and your boundaries is where real leverage begins. 🤍
English
@Maximosian @BlubFunnies @BeSaintly Catholics are completely blind to their own faults. It’s actually hilarious. “We elevate the local culture” what are they even talking about??? Lmao
English
@BlubFunnies @BeSaintly Up until recently you guys were adamant about doing the liturgy in latin rather than common tongue. Within Japan half of Catholics are foreign nationals and Protestants and Evangelicals have you beat out in actual number of Japanese

海外のカトリック信徒もこのような認識で先祖を敬う事をよしとしています。やはり日本のプロテスタントの一部の聖書原理主義の聖書理解がおかしいと言わざる得ません。 x.com/i/status/20385…

@poperespecter1 @ryanburge Cope harder. Just about every tweet of yours is cope.
English
a) "ever used" doesn't mean they are currently as likely. A lot of Catholics fall away for a while or are converts that would answer yes to that question without it meaning they are currently using.
b) Catholics, Southern Baptists, and Orthodox all have about 25-30% church attendance rates. This makes data that does not account for attendance very suspect. If someone doesn't care enough to show up (a mortal sin in the Catholic Church) why would you expect them to obey the social teachings of the church?
English
Catholics are just as likely to use birth control as the general population.
DRAGO@dragodimitrov
I think attachment to contraception is the #1 thing holding Protestants back from becoming Catholic.

Koreans are the gayest chinese. Like spaniards are the gayest mexicans.

@poperespecter1 Fun police? The fun being burning people alive. What a massive retard.
English
In a lot of ways, the protestant reformation was just dour people being fun police.
