@MercifulMessage God is One, manifesting as creator, creation and the connection between the two. If anything, it is a pantheist concept (it isn't) rather than polytheist.
@MercifulMessage The Trinity is a way to describe the oneness of God, the unity of the creator and his creation. God has three manifestations representing "that which is not seen", "that which is seen" and "that which connects the two". Like water God has three possible states.
@ColleenBeyer12@McBrideLawNYC@David_wthebeard In this particular case Luther aligned himself with one existing strand of early Christian thought. Apparently even Jerome had doubts about the books. After all they are "deutero"canonical as in "secondary" (they came later and didn't quite hold the same status as the rest).
@_Kentomas_@McBrideLawNYC@David_wthebeard Then why did he throw out books considered part of Scripture by same early Christians and codified in St. Jerome's Vulgate Latin translation?
@McBrideLawNYC@David_wthebeard Yea, except the Catholicism of the 5th Century has nothing to do with modern Catholicism. Luther was Catholic, trying to go back to the roots of early Christianity.
LOL. You are a clown. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
St. Patrick was a 5th century Catholic bishop.
In his Letter to the Soldiers of Coroticus, he describes administering the sacraments to those who were later martyred:
“The baptized and confirmed are murdered… newly baptized, anointed with chrism, still in white garments…”
@PikeKenis@Mistrbrojangles@CoreyJMahler Christ's message is NOT "hate the Jews and avenge me". Neither is it "it's okay to reject me" but here's the thing: people who eg. carry the label "Jewish" can know and accept Christ (even without formally converting). Conversely, the label "Christian" does not guarantee much.
@_Kentomas_@PikeKenis@Mistrbrojangles This life is the closest Christians ever get to Hell, and the closest men like you ever get to Paradise. I wash my hands of you.
@CoreyJMahler It doesn't say anything about Jews being enemies of all mankind nor about a requirement to confess such a thing. Paul equates "the Jews who killed Jesus" with other hostile nonbelievers, that's it.
@BowesChay Why do the cars have Russian license plates? Russians handing out candy to Russian kids in Russia... (it's still a rare sighting, that's for sure).
Meet the Europeans NATO will send to "Face Russia in the Arctic?"
