That's because they are here living under OUR rule. We're afraid of living under theirs because we have real time examples of what that looks like in the middle east. Easy enough?

@gonefishin1948 Orthodox Christian here: My priest harps on not reading any other books unless you've at least read the New Testament once all the way through and thoroughly studied it. Protestants just like to say things.

Catholics and Orthodox: How many of you have a Bible in your home that you read?

Wrong, wrong, and wrong again. The "Jews" that had the first scriptures were rejected by Jesus. The Old Testament was given to us by the Apostles and was called the Septuagint. The Jews OF THEIR DAY rejected the Septuagint. This is where Rabbinic Judaism comes from. The "Jews" that came before Jesus were the first Christians. Jewish by ethnicity not by religion. They were, in every sense of the term, Christ-followers, littl Christ's, Christians. Not Rabbinic Jews of the modern day Nation State of Israel. Why are y'all SO misinformed on these things?

They scientifically tested these and said it came back as human flesh... Just because you're a protestant doesn't mean you have to lie or be confidently ignorant. Don't do that.

This is patently false. It couldn't be more dishonest and ignorant of Christian history. Yes all of the letters were *circulating* by the end of the first century which is what pretty much every historian, secular or Christian accepts. But *circulating* ≠ *accepted* About half of the New Testament was in dispute among the first century Christians and the canon was settled in the late 4th century by namely two events: 1: The formalized canon list d by St. Athanasius in 367 AD followed by 2: The consensus of The council of Hippo followed by the council of Carthage (so really three events if you separate the two councils) It was at this point, and this point ONLY that the 27 "book" New Testament was officially accepted universally by the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church You can't just say falsehoods with the utmost confidence and all of a sudden it makes it true. PLEASE start doing your history before trying to be an internet apologist! Half of you are totally ignorant and it genuinely makes you look bad which embarrasses you alongside those associated with you!

"Hey guys! I can anachronistically view the church Fathers as saying something that agrees with my new doctrines 1500 years later because Da WordS iS dA SaMe, even if what they meant is something totally foreign to my protestant doctrines!" 😄👍

@JondTrill @Rjackson0929 @Truth_matters20 The cultural adoption of calling people "gay" is just a modern way to say you're lame and goofy. Has nothing to do with actually being homosexual. Just another stupid cope from JohnMac.

@jamespsherm @Rjackson0929 @Truth_matters20 Go drink some Holy Water shots and try not to attack any gay people, peace be with you and I play dominoes

The Roman Catholic "Church" did not give us the Bible. God did. If it was up to Catholics, laymen would be banned from owning a Bible.

@JondTrill @Rjackson0929 @Truth_matters20 JohnMac uneducated and easily rage baited. Later!

@jamespsherm @Rjackson0929 @Truth_matters20 Now I know you’re homophobic, who goes around calling people gay? What are you 10? So juvenile and just immature, you’re pathetic at best

@JondTrill @Rjackson0929 @Truth_matters20 Now you're just making things up. Gay and schizophrenic. As expected

@jamespsherm @Rjackson0929 @Truth_matters20 By your logic I’ll call you homophobic because you jump to conclusions faster than an illiterate person can read

@MrCasey62 Do they not actually read his writings and then just start confidently saying things they haven't studied? Yes, the answer is yes.

Lizzie is absolutely desperate that St. Augustine NOT be Catholic. 🤣

No man, that's not why he was persecuted. I'm personally not even saying it was a justified execution, but it certainly wasn't because of this revisionist history, imaginary notion that he was doing the honest noble work of the laymen and "making the Bible available to all!" I'm not going to restate what actually happened but it's in this thread if you actually care to read. And by the way, those chained up bibles were open for anyone to read if they could. No one was ever prevent d from reading the word of God. Most people just objectively couldn't read it. You do know, as a historically literate person, that many people back then couldn't even read or write.. Right? It was the exact same in the time of the apostles when them and their disciples taught and led the early liturgies in the earliest days of the church too, but you don't seem to have an issue with this! Why so?

@jamespsherm @Rjackson0929 @Truth_matters20 Yeah that filthy heretic had the audacity to transcribe the Bible in to English so the common man could have one and study it, hanging and burning was too light a sentence for this demon, Catholics are so much fun to make fun of because their lies lead to more lies & fairy tales

@JondTrill @Rjackson0929 @Truth_matters20 Now you're just acting gay. Prime example of why I said you shouldn't be taken seriously.

@jamespsherm @Rjackson0929 @Truth_matters20 Nope, you’re the one soaking in that incense from the magical ball swinging and the chanting, I play dominoes better than you, I play dominoes better than you

Acting as if an explanation discredits the claim is in direct opposition to reason. The explanation of the claim IS the qualifier that makes the claim credible. You thought you have the upper hand and it's all because genuinely had no idea how proper reason or argumentation works. Absolutely ridiculous sophistry.

It's when you have two conflicting ideals. That's you. The only way you can work them out is to spin a verbal ball of yarn. I never accused anyone of anything, but your main character syndrome compelled you to respond to me as if it was about you. I look forward to your next thought piece on the matter.

I did answer it. You just didn't read what I said and think responding with memes justifies your cognitive dissonance.

Ummm... No. That's not cognitive Dissonance. Cognitive Dissonance is continuing to believe something and advocate for it even when you've been given evidence to the contrary. Which is exactly what you did here in this thread. Pretty gay cope you got there tho. Pretty retarded and gay. This notion that everything has to be answered in a definite "yes or no or you lose" is the biggest cancer to intellectualism in history. Saying "wall of text!! Urga Durga burga!!" Is like scoffing at a mathematician for explaining to you how 2+2=4 You can't just ask "does it equal 4 yes or no!? If you start explaining why then you lose!" You're genuinely stupid dawg.

@KingMic92357513 For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF

Orthodoxy is a Maximalist Religion with standards. Not a Lowest Common Denominatior, Minimalist religion. Convert. Love Christ. And do as He asked/told/commanded us to do. "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind," "You shall love your neighbor as yourself,"

@JondTrill @Rjackson0929 @Truth_matters20 It's okay you're starting to realize what's happening. It's taking a minute but the longer you stay here in the fire the more you start to see the ash of your bad arguments floating toward the sky.

@jamespsherm @Rjackson0929 @Truth_matters20 Truth hurts doesn’t it, now go sprinkle yourself with Holy water and say some Hail Marys and ask a priest for forgiveness of lying

@JondTrill @Rjackson0929 @Truth_matters20 Yeah I read them, they're still just tweets tho. That's not a source. You're just displaying that you're ill informed on scholarly work. Anyone that calls that a "source" genuinely shouldn't be taken seriously. Look it up. 👍

@jamespsherm @Rjackson0929 @Truth_matters20 Those aren’t my words you moron those are from multiple history sources when googled, not like Catholics who only present some heretical nonsense produced by the church or some Catholic in his basis creating a meme

I find myself defending Catholics from ignoramus Protestants more than anyone else. I'm an Orthodox Christian, but holy willful ignorance! The absolute confident lies and ignorant claims slammed against Catholics because Protestants are so emotionally riled up by the things they *THINK* or have *been told* the Catholic church believes is genuinely frustrating.
