@Basedtzarist Neither should be saying that in church

know the ortho-foid rules: if you're not the chad, you might as well pack it up

@polisnotokay I do that every time I leave talmberg lol

i’m crying i had no idea you could just hop into the moat and straight up flee from talmberg with the guards pursuing you

@frodopossum @iwolf6645 I didn't mean for that last line to sound like that. I just wanted to make a throwaway joke about annoying christians on twitter

@WillJ592 @iwolf6645 to be clear, you're the one who presumably thinks i'm going to burn in hell for eternity for not believing what you do. i demonstrated by my question that it is absurd to think that being convinced of something is a choice. but i'm definitely a jerk - and you reflect god's light!

marcus aurelius already got this one covered for your dumbass, don't worry

@frodopossum I didn't mean to sound like that. Christians believe that things like existence and the beauty of nature point to the existence of God. That doesn't mean that it's obvious

@WillJ592 i don't know what "reality bears witness to him" means. it seems like you're just saying "it's obvious, and if you say it's not obvious then you're lying" which is like. ACTUALLY really condescending.

@iwolf6645 @frodopossum I see what you mean, and I gave an answer. I like answering genuine questions but when the person is being a jerk it's hard to imagine that my response will matter to them lol Also I'm not on twitter to write apologetics. I can reflect God's light in less insufferable ways

@WillJ592 @frodopossum Do you feel bad that you understand what he's asking and dont have an answer? You would rather tell a joke and let him be dawned to hell for eternity than actually think about the issue with your relgion?

@frodopossum God is the source of reality and reality bears witness to him. It is by our own sin that we do not know God. We are responsible for our choices. 2/2

@frodopossum tbf the condescension def obscures the question. But if you want the Christian perspective, "his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made" (Rom 1:20). 1/

@ErnestoMateoc @terminallyOL I’m not sure what that means, but you still haven’t explained how what I said wasn’t Catholic dogma as well

@WillJ592 @terminallyOL You can basically be baptised and then go with what Marcus aurelius said

@Altanese @FF7FanComic @QueenBoethiah @terminallyOL Anybody who truly believes the Gospel will have an outpouring of love that compels them to do good. If they aren’t doing anything good, if they keep living in sin, then they evidently don’t know God

@FF7FanComic @WillJ592 @QueenBoethiah @terminallyOL Cause they want to feel like they're good people without actually doing anything good, or even do evil and just say 'but I asked Jesus to forgive me'. My dad is a worthless, thieving drunk who has betrayed everyone who ever cared about him but keeps 'coming to God' each time

@Isaac1571073125 @AntoniusOhii @JoshuaM18042009 I said message not goal. From Pope Urban II: “All who die by the way, whether by land or by sea, or in battle against the pagans, shall have immediate remission of sins. This I grant them through the power of God with which I am invested” like no that’s not how it works

@WillJ592 @AntoniusOhii @JoshuaM18042009 1. No one is justifying sin, 2. It was a few bad apples, 3. The underlying goal was to reclaim Christian land from Muslim imperialism.

It is sickeningly apparent that many Christians really do believe in nothing but vain displays of power, and worship the sword rather than the Cross.

@ErnestoMateoc @terminallyOL Infused righteousness doesn’t contradict what I said. It still relies on God’s grace

@WillJ592 @terminallyOL Infusio vs imputatio

@Mosghos @AlcatorSK @stopthatgirl7 @SerraAetheria @peachieringz @terminallyOL That’s reductive. Nothing is good ‘just because’ God says so. God relates morality to us, but the source of morality comes from things like humanity’s inherent dignity

@AlcatorSK @stopthatgirl7 @SerraAetheria @WillJ592 @peachieringz @terminallyOL No, it’s not out of a desire to go to heaven. Only God knows who the elect are, & you can’t achieve salvation through works, only God’s grace. We should do good works only because God desires it, & for no other reason. The only ethical consideration is what God desires

@ErnestoMateoc @terminallyOL Which part isn’t Catholic? Look at CCC 2010 and 1996

@WillJ592 @terminallyOL Nope

@Isaac1571073125 @AntoniusOhii @JoshuaM18042009 I misspoke. I meant that you can’t justify sin for the greater good. And it wasn’t just a few bad apples. The underlying message to crusaders was that any crimes were essentially permissible on the crusade

@WillJ592 @AntoniusOhii @JoshuaM18042009 A lot of crusaders were good people. There were some bad apples, but then again that’s applicable with all resistance groups. And yes, there is also such a thing as fighting for the greater good.

@willchildofGod @AntoniusOhii @OKS068485689518 Jerusalem had been under Muslim rule for over 450 years

@AntoniusOhii @OKS068485689518 The crusades were started because Muslims wouldn’t stop invading Christian land

@Isaac1571073125 @AntoniusOhii @JoshuaM18042009 There’s no such thing as a greater good. All sin is siding with Satan against God. And telling crusaders that they could sin freely and be forgiven by fighting was wrong

@AntoniusOhii @JoshuaM18042009 Do you not agree that the first crusade was a noble mission? Yes, there were instances of sin during the crusade, but the overall goal was good (reclaiming land from Muslim invasion).

@frodopossum Ohh I misread ur comment and was making a joke about the leprechaun actually being there. Also why are you keeping him locked in your closet? Doesn’t seem nice

@WillJ592 i don't need to, i can feel his presence. the question is whether YOU believe he's there. if you can willingly change your beliefs about what is real, prove it. CHOOSE to believe i have a leprechaun in my linen closet right... now. ... okay now stop. how'd that work for ya?

@ErnestoMateoc @terminallyOL No it isn’t. Catholics believe this too

@WillJ592 @terminallyOL That's for protestants

@chasecharb @terminallyOL I was referring to a specific use of the word (eg Romans 4:5; 5:17) which means perfection

@WillJ592 @terminallyOL You say "righteous" but you mean perfect. Of course everyone sins but that doesnt make them unrighteous. It just makes them imperfect. Christianity demands perfection

@QueenBoethiah @terminallyOL Or our relative goodness doesn’t cancel out the evil we do, and thus nobody can claim to live according to the virtues

@WillJ592 @terminallyOL By Aurelius’ conditions then, Christianity’s god is unjust, and thusly shouldn’t be worshipped in the first place.
