Don’t tell them you are Christian. Such will now be understood as heresy. They shall know ye are Christians through your very being. Jesus said, “But thou when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy doore, pray to thy father which is in secret, and thy father which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.” (Matt. 6:6) Verily I say unto you, the same principle shall be applied to all parts of faith. Too blatant it is to tout faith publicly. It is obscene to flout God in empty words. God is only properly respected when he rests at the foundation of our being, em’nating thru the nervous system. It is here when God is properly understood that mention of his name becomes false. This is because necessity for invocation of his name implies a discontinuity between God & oneself, it implies one is not: “Be yee therefore perfect, euen as your father, which is in heauen, is perfect.” (Matt. 5:48) This must completely be done.

& at the same time, one should never assert one has attained perfection. Such would be deep blasphemy. One only holds perfection a possibility. As for one’s attainment of said perfection, such a judgment is reserved only for the conscience of God. God understood as the judgment of history. How one is regarded after one’s death in the collective imagination of humanity. One’s standing there approximates the judgement of God.

It is an approximation of his judgment because that verdict will only be settled completely when the Kingdom of God has arrived & we live with God. For now we are subject to a purgation period, an apocalypse that is history. This process ends when history ends & that end is the descent of God in the fulness of times only possible when man with the assistance of God has fully wrestled the wheat from the chaff. When humanity is then at its most polar is when all the materials are finally ready for transmutation. This ultimate alchemical act will be done & the very definition of God, Man, World, indeed all definitions, will be completely transvaluated into their true forms, into a complete rational oneness.

So don’t tell them you are Christian. From now on proselytize thru your mere existence. Let pure grace emanate from God thru you into the world, liquefying the benighted mists.

Post verses.

25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

>After the battle [of Mount Tabor], Napoleon slept at the convent in nearby Nazareth, where he was shown the supposed bedchamber of the Virgin Mary. When the prior also pointed out a broken black marble pillar and told his staff, ‘in the gravest manner possible’, that it had been split by the Angel Gabriel when he ‘came to announce to the Virgin her glorious and holy destination’, some of the officers burst out laughing, but as one of them recorded, ‘General Bonaparte, looking severely at us, made us resume our gravity.’

The RSV, NRSV and "NRSVue" are done by the National Council of Churches which is part of the World Council of Churches. It has been confirmed that during the early 80s the president was a KGB agent from the Russian "Orthodox™" "Church". There are other Russian "Orthodox™" that have been or are suspected KGB. There is no telling who else of such types were/are involved in the NCC/WCC.

The Catholics let a Russian "Orthodox™" KGB agent provide input into Vatican II. He died right in front of the Pope who prayed over him, then that Pope died not long after (John Paul I if I recall properly).

None of these institutions should be trusted. Stay vigilant against antiChrist.

No. I do not believe that Christ was the son of G-d, or that he was G-d. I do not believe in the trinity, and I don't believe that all Christians do either. I do not believe in individual salvation, or in original sin. I do not believe the Messiah will be the son of G-d, he will be the son of man, and will be blessed by the Lord and the Angels from birth. I do not believe that the Messiah will be the son of a virgin, I believe the Messiah will be the son of a barren woman made fruitful by the blessings of the Lord.

Honestly it was the experience of the Mass. I started re-attending daily Mass in college because I lived very close to a church which had daily Mass, Adoration, and Confession. Experiencing the liturgy was more influential than any book.

I understand now why people used to want to live in walking distance of their parish church. The church really can become the center of your life: daily Mass, bells for the Angelus, Friday Benediction, Saturday Adoration, small group discussions, weekly Rosary meetings. Every Christian should make it a priority to live very close to a church which is active.

I'm not a JP fan totally myself and I don't think he is a Christian, but he's done wonders for promoting Biblical interpretation in the public consciousness of young people. I agree he is a grifter at times but doesn't invalidate the good stuff he's done.

What that book argues is that JP's lectures on the bible are a precursor to young people engaging in actual biblical exegesis.

The Son of Man did not come to save the righteous, but sinners.
There is a difference between unchosen homosexual orientation and actively pursued homosexual actions.
Same way as pedophelia or necrophilia - some people are born with those desires, they can't control it. That's their cross to bear. They are under the same obligation not to act on them

Same with you: you are born, evidently, with the desire to malign, slander, and attack. That's part of your (and my) sinful nature. Doesn't mean you have to act on those natural disorders desires, of course.

Only the active choice can be a sin.

"Seraphim Rose" is not unique in his acknowledge, as has been Church teaching for 2000 years, that homosexual actions, not desires, are sinful.

Where he is unique (and batshit insane) is thinking that UFO demons have taken over the Catholic Church and the pope is a UFO demon antichrist (not joking about that btw).

Some people are obviously born gay. Look at gay voice, gay face, gay gestures - it's related to testosterone exposure in the womb. It is not their choice, it is their cross to bear.

The KJV, NKJV, and the RSV (preferably the Oxford Annotated as it has all the Orthodox books on top of the deuterocanonical ones) are all acceptable; the NRSV is condemned. The Douay-Rheims isn't preferred, but it's also not discouraged, as the Vulgate is a pre-schism source and the DR is just a translation of that source. The EOB NT is also fine as it's an English translation of the Patriarchal Text of 1904, which is the official Greek Orthodox NT text.

Some were convinced by what he said, but others would not believe. 25 They disagreed among themselves and began to leave after Paul had made this final statement: “The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your ancestors when he said through Isaiah the prophet:

26
“‘Go to this people and say,
“You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.”
27
For this people’s heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’
Acts 29

realistically, what are you gonna do about jews? genocide them? cry all day about them? The Christian is not of this world. Who cares who the president is, who cares if there's jews ruling media or whatever, is that a surprise to you that the world is corrupted? is it a surprise to you that Christendom is fundamentally an anti-christian idea? The Jews can convert or not, that's God's will, not mine.

Read Julian of Norwich. Jesus says that all shall be well. Until then, might as welcome those around us with Christian charity.

thats not how logic works.

the burden of proof falls on the person making the positive assertion. so when someone (person a) says "the bible is the written word of god" and someone (person b) retorts "saying prove it". its literally the job of person a to provide proof of their claim. which none has been produced for said point as far as we know.

now if person a says "well you can't prove that the bible ISNT the written word of god". this become an issue of evidence of absence vs absence of evidence. in this case person a is favored because reasons

Well first of all let's put the "welcome the stranger" verses in context.
>Ex. 22:20-21 Whoever sacrifices to any god, other than the Lord alone, shall be devoted to destruction. You shall not wrong a sojourner or oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
>Lev. 18:26 But you shall keep my statutes and my rules and do none of these abominations, either the native or the stranger who sojourns among you ...
>Lev. 20:1-2 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Say to the people of Israel, Any one of the people of Israel or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones."
Is that sufficient to resolve the issue? Moving on the homosexuality, you cannot compromise the truth. And you are not loving someone by affirming and facilitating their self-destruction. Those who are in sin must be called to repentance, and if they will not repent they are to be excommunicated in the hope that he will realize his error.
>1 Cor. 5:1, 4-5 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father's wife. ... When you are assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.

I think you're confused. I'm saying the events of the first four books of the new testament are historical in nature. If you can't find any positive evidence that contradicts it, then you can either accept that it's historical fact or you decide to believe it never happened even though evidence suggests the contrary. So if you have no reason to believe it didn't happen, then you would acknowledge the divinity of Christ and accept everything he said as true regardless of what you personally want to believe.

Orthodox Saint Maximus the Hut Burner. He lived on Mt. Athos as a monk and would build a hut, live in it for a while, then burn it down and build a new hut somewhere else. Eventually someone talked to him and found out that he was not mentally ill but was just acting like it to hide how holy he was. So they told him to stop burning huts down and he went to live in a cave and was seen flying at one point.

Yes, this would be pretty clear on its own, but what about people who tell you that they are totally, absolutely driven by faith and have the best intentions? Possibly the one true anachronism about Christian teaching, something I can also see in the Bible itself, is that everyone is just so sincere and straightforward. Even the Pharisees in their own way, do not act very intelligently in their subterfuge. Things are so infinitely more complex today because the art of lying has progressed immensely and Christian thought is not equipped to deal with the craftiness of hostile agents.

Yes but how does it then follow that you should identify yourself by your temptation? If you put Christ before you and abandon sexual immorality then there should be no reason to identify as gay, it would be like me identifying as a masturbator for my past sins.

Of course we are called to repentance, and should recognize our own sinful natures for what they are in confession to our Father, but certainly there isn't any case to declare such things in a public forum?

Why should past sins (and thus temptations) dictate any of our relations or comings and goings? That's what you imply when you claim the church should accept gay identity. A man who is prone to murder does not introduce himself to others as a murderer, and a man who is prone to steal does not address himself as a thief. These are titles to be known and judged by our Lord Jesus Christ, not by our neighbors.

>people can be born pedophilic or necrophilic
You misunderstand the nature of sexual immorality; pedophilia and necrophilia are gross, abhorrent distortions of nature, no one is born with such tastes, rather they are led into them by incremental depravity (which is made all too convenient and accessible today thanks to pornography). It is impossible for someone to have a necrophilic nature without them having acted on their sexual desires prior, and such in an abominable manner. You can say that someone may be born with the inclination for lust, and thus sexual immorality, but to concede that pedophilia and necrophilia are simply different flavors of sin reveals a severe misunderstanding of morality and of the human condition.

Look at that fucking idiot, holds nothing but a couple notions about a couple pieces of scripture in his head and thinks he can lead a church. One of my friends some sort of idiot protestant said he was baptized by his father and I laughed out loud. Not baptized at all then.

These are "fine" up to a point and one can even perfectly well get the most essential essentials from them. I advise "graduating" to the King James Bible ASAP for the most full form of Scripture, however. There are occasional differences in word translations that hold great profundities. The "flawed" word translations in it here and there are negligible ("unicorn" for one horned beasts like rhinoceros is not doctrinally critical like the serpent in Eden *not* being a beast of the field). There are other issues with the NIV/ESV/etc. but they are still sound for by far the most part. It's far better to read what you have immediate access to or can readily understand than to not be reading it at all.

>One of my friends some sort of idiot protestant said he was baptized by his father and I laughed out loud. Not baptized at all then.

CCC 1256 The ordinary ministers of Baptism are the bishop and priest and, in the Latin Church, also the deacon. In case of necessity, any person, even someone not baptized, can baptize, if he has the required intention. the intention required is to will to do what the Church does when she baptizes, and to apply the Trinitarian baptismal formula. the Church finds the reason for this possibility in the universal saving will of God and the necessity of Baptism for salvation.

CCC 818 "However, one cannot charge with the sin of the separation those who at present are born into these communities [that resulted from such separation] and in them are brought up in the faith of Christ, and the Catholic Church accepts them with respect and affection as brothers .... All who have been justified by faith in Baptism are incorporated into Christ; they therefore have a right to be called Christians, and with good reason are accepted as brothers in the Lord by the children of the Catholic Church."

CCC 819 "Furthermore, many elements of sanctification and of truth" are found outside the visible confines of the Catholic Church: "the written Word of God; the life of grace; faith, hope, and charity, with the other interior gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as visible elements." Christ's Spirit uses these Churches and ecclesial communities as means of salvation, whose power derives from the fullness of grace and truth that Christ has entrusted to the Catholic Church. All these blessings come from Christ and lead to him, and are in themselves calls to "Catholic unity."

Here's a thorough evaluation of it by the way
http://www.bible-researcher.com/esv.html
>As modern versions go, the ESV should be counted as one of the best for use in teaching ministry. It is more literal than the NIV, and so it is largely free of the problems that come with the use of so-called “dynamic equivalence” versions; but it is not so severely literal that ordinary readers will struggle to understand it. Its English recalls the classic diction of the KJV, and so it has some literary power (this is not unimportant in a Bible version). Its handling of the Old Testament is agreeable to conservative principles of interpretation. As a revision of the RSV, it is much better than the NRSV in several ways. However, there are some weaknesses in it. We have noticed the bad influence of the NIV in several places.

Created things follow their natural laws (eg gravity, Newton's laws). In our everyday life these appear to be fixed and things behave very predictably, hence it is surprising when we hear that a man long ago walked on water. But being created, there is not only natural law, but a will behind the law. Via this will any miracle is possible, such as in the case of Jesus walking on water and calming the storm. Being God who created them according to His own will, he can manipulate them, whether for himself or others (eg the parting of the Red Sea, turning a staff into a snake)

sorry that it offends your pearl clutching, grandma-level sensibilities but science (and divinely ordained physical reality) says you're wrong.
Identifying as "gay" or "pedo" or whatever is different - if I have passing thoughts about murder, does that make me a murderer? of course not.
I agree that "gay identity" is a modern distortion, but that reality is some people have gay desires consistently. so long as they don't act on it, they're welcome in the Church, as with all the other sinners.

to answer both of you, affirmative universalism (aka we KNOW that all people will be saved) is a heresy. HOPING that all people will be saved is not a heresy.

btw - other non heresies that point towards non-affirmative universalism: conditional annihilation, descent into hell = gates unlocked theory, christian metempsychosis, "age of ages" translation of "eternal" theory, and post-time christus victor theory.

I wish study Bibles would note when there is wide disagreement. The ESV also has a whole section on why the Apocrypha isn't Canon but it musters all the evidence for their rejection and includes no counter evidence and appears to being straight up dishonest on scholarly opinion about the Jews having a closed Canon by the time of Christ.

Now I feel like I can't trust any of it. I guess study Bibles need to be taken as "this is what this sect says."

I really want the Ancient Faith study Bible, which is all notes from Church Fathers, but apparently that is also highly selective, just not covering quotes that disagree with Church doctrine instead of explaining why they thought X and why the editors don't. Super frustrating.

It is very explicit in ALL people being ressurected for judgement in Rev 20.

>11 Then I saw a great white throne(AJ) and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence,(AK) and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small,(AL) standing before the throne, and books were opened.(AM) Another book was opened, which is the book of life.(AN) The dead were judged(AO) according to what they had done(AP) as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades(AQ) gave up the dead(AR) that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done.(AS) 14 Then death(AT) and Hades(AU) were thrown into the lake of fire.(AV) The lake of fire is the second death.(AW) 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life(AX) was thrown into the lake of fire.

>Every person
>The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them

This is also a controversial passage because people are judged by their works. And indeed, it takes a pretty convoluted reading to come up with "the other books are the works books, the Book of Life is based on faith alone."

Jesus himself mentions varying degrees of punishment and reward in the Gospels based on deeds, so this shouldn't be surprising.

Some of the interpretations get wonky though. Like, works are used to judge extra benefits in Heaven, so God cares about them, but then human action is irrelevant to God on other matters? It's contradictory, but it makes sense that it is because "saved by faith alone" is different from Paul's justification by faith, and proceeds from deductive logic about an omnipotent God.

This passage is probably part of what made the early Reformation want to kick Revelations out of the Bible (James too). Then the peasants began doing proto-comminism and justifying the end of serfdom, and they reversed on removing parts of the Bible since then people can justify anything.

And? All Bible commentary is biased in one way or the other, even the Oxford. I have found great information in the study Bible that no other commentary provided, and none of it was about interconfessional contention.
I think it's plain stupid to dismiss solid work of Bible scholars because of its confessional bias. I also read the writings of Catholic Saints, whom I do not revere as Saints myself, because they often have valuable or inspiring things to say.
