but isnt this true for a lot of (perceived) shitposters?

Shitposting is not a crime.

All of your fedora memes aside, no religious person is right. Every religion is false.

“The constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear.”

"I believe because it is impossible."

--Tertullian

>>6459822
u wot.

>>6459825
I wonder what Tertullian was afraid of.

He was certainly a shit mouth...in that he ate a spoonful of his own shit daily.

Luther was legit. Other reformists were legit as well. The best religious guys are the ones that realize all the shit within their religious system, criticize it, try to change it, bring it back to what matters. What Luther did is in shit today as well, it's an endless cycle, but I'd always be with these guys rather than on the side of the corrupt imbeciles.

>>6459839
Amen.

>>6459799
No, hence shit

Why didn't Martin Luther just become pope and change the way the Catholic Church was run? Instead he shattered the religion into several thousand splinters.

>>6459771
Shitposters are always right in some way, look at /pol/

>>6459852
>become pope
that would be missing the point

>>6459839

lmfao

have fun with a dying religion

His 95 Theses are completely sound, and Lutheranism is fine. Crappy Protestantism mostly came from Calvanism.

Reminder that the Council of Trent addressed all of Luther's complaints and so Protestant Churches no longer have a reason to exist.

Additional reminder that Luther's assertion that everyone should be able to interpret Scripture for themselves leads to people shooting up abortion clinics.

...wat?

>>6459771
He was, but then so was Paul and all the others.

>>6459991
the handing over implies the power to do so
that he believed everyone could do

ie everyone is a roman senator

>>6459991
there are no popes in the bible

>>6460004
>so was Paul
and they killed him for it.

He was right in the sense that religion shouldn't be institutionalized. All the saint/prophet worship misses the point.

>>6460027

>>6460031
You...don't know how metaphors work, do you?

He was wrong about some things but wrong about other things.

Really the Council of Trent fixed everything that Protestants were crying about.

>>6460036
That makes two of us.
>A baby must die before a human can grow.
Equivalent statement. Not a metaphor. Just stupid.

>>6460031
From a conceptual standpoint the seed cease to exist after it's planted and the wheat start growing.

>>6460011
But anon there are three: Peter, Linus, and Clement I.

>>6460045
Seeds and babies are not equivalent. An equivalent statement would be

>a sperm must die before a human can grow

This is true.

>>6460051
PETER AIN'T NO POPE, JESUS DON'T SAY FUCKIN HEY PETER U THE POPE NOW DAWG

>>6460045
the seed is buried as in one can no longer see it, dead, transformed

>>6460063
No, pollen and sperm are equivalent. A seed is an embryonic plant, by definition. So, I guess the best analogy would be
>A fetus must die before a human can grow.
Also not accurate.

Luther never asserted that. Sola scriptura means you can't tack on additions to scripture things that you say are required for SALVATION. It doesn't mean you can't have traditions outside of scripture, and it certainly doesn't mean that you should just intrepret it for yourself. Lutheranism is built, after all, on Luther's interpenetration of scripture, and Lutheranism has priests and bishops.

People who shoot up abortion clinics are not offshoots of Luther's theology, they come from Calvinism or the other English Dissenters

Daily reminder that followers of Constantinism have traded the religion of the Christ for a idol worship disguised by intricate words, aesthetic pleasure, and the false promises they sell.

Pick one. Luther totally opposed anabaptist theology and wrote against it.

>>6460806
>Pick one.
Reread the post. Even the most unlearned Baptists are more accurate practitioners of the Christ's religion than Lutherans, though the latter are closer to the Truth than the Catholic and Orthodox.

>>6460854
No they aren't, because they practice rebaptism, when the Nicene Creed explicitly affirms *one* baptism. Anabaptism is silly, can you imagine Christ getting "rebaptized"?

>>6460908
>the Nicene Creed
There's your problem.

>can you imagine Christ getting "rebaptized"?
Yes, since baptism was a common Jewish practice that an adult person would perform many times. It's quite imaginable that Jesus would have been baptized at least once in his life prior to his baptism by John the Baptist, no doubt after reaching adulthood. Anyway, you're mistaken: Baptists practice believer's baptism, which may or may not be a second baptism. It is because baptism is a cleansing of sin and a renewal of devotion that persons choose to be baptized again, which is reflective of the Jesus seeking baptism before beginning his mission as Christ.

>>6459808
>mark my fucking theses

>>6461019
>There's your problem.
Exactly how do you define "Christian" then?


>baptism was a common Jewish practice
Seems like you're conflating ritual ablution with Christian baptism.

>>6461041
>Exactly how do you define "Christian" then?
I don't, but the Christ is said to have made some clear statements about the practice of those that follow him.

>Seems like you're conflating ritual ablution with Christian baptism.
How can one conflate that which was not divided, except by the tribalistic behavior of Man? The arrogance of "Christians" is that they take the actual works of the Christ and they say it's not "Christian" enough for /them/.

Goddamnit all the political threads got purged but not christposting? No wonder the mods can only do this shit for free
