Maybe you didn't see my edit in post 781. If you haven't already you should check her out. Now where TF is my Pepsi!?
You sure you're the Monkey Man and not the Elephant Man (for those who don't know Elephants have great memory (pretty weird I'd even have to explain but people will "people" (by "people" I mean be idiots)))?
Speaking of which, I found yet another one, the Vape-or-Smoke thread.I try to keep on top of things.
I accidentally deleted a video of my wife telling her grandmother she was pregnant for the first time, can you help me with that? I’ve been paying for it for years!Speaking of which, I found yet another one, the Vape-or-Smoke thread.
That's gotta be the last necessary fix, surely?
That’s not what we were talking about
I have.Now I see it's not just this thread, but pretty-much all your posts.
That's 200 deletions. Never seen this before.
Typical of the protestant chart/graph making obsession. There is a lot of blanket statement making in that, and also some incorrect assumptions. Your average "bible believing" church has no liturgy, no holy communion, no altar. In all the bible wisdom they claim to possess there are chasms in their own theology. "Bible believing church" is mostly code for "we draw from incorrect protestant interpretations as well as making other stuff up ourselves."
The chart is way to broad to really have detailed accuracy and if what you are saying here is true then baptizing your daughter orthodox is somewhat contradictory unless your wife or family demanded it. Why not just do it yourself as a "spirit filled believer"? Don't take this offensively but religiously it seems like you exist in a world of inner personal conflict and christian heresies. You're seeking, but protestantism is a useless circle of endless theological speculations and factional disagreements. Like a maze with no end.
That chart is correct and to the point. The "denomination" has more to do with organisational stuff and commentaries on the sacred texts. The faith is the same and it is individual.
Fair enough (Because the bible is a contradictory maze), but the interpretations and practices of the catholic and orthodox churches are based on tradition and arguably contradict the bible at times. So why do you believe the orthodox church is the "True" church and isn't it the same game as the protestant in-fighting?
Lol, orthodoxy is as exclusive and as demanding from the individual as it comes in terms of the christian faith, which is what drew me to it so what are you talking about?
It's pre-denominational. It's founders were the apostles, not Joel Osteen or John Hagee. They were all but one butchered for the message they brought. None of them lived lavish, glamorous lifestyles. I take it on faith that the body of orthodox believers have preserved it throughout the past 2000 years.
Without getting bogged down with specifics, I'll just point out that we would not have the eastern/western churches and million denominations if not for biblical disagreement. You think the orthodox church has it right, they think the opposite.
