Haven't seen a Christian general in a while, so why not.
This thread is for the discussion of topics concerning Christianity as a religion, philosophy, and historical phenomenon. Please consider posting your questions concerning God and Christianity here instead of making your own thread, as many of the latter tend to die and clog up the board.
Two points I would first like to make, based on my observations of previous threads.
1.) If Atheists can recognize that large swathes of western philosophy, from Socrates to Kirkegarde, concerned itself with God as a logical axiom, then we can recognize that from your standpoint God is illogical, a completely understandable standpoint.
2.) If Cathodox Christians can accept that the Church at the time of Luther was objectively corrupt and that Luther's split from the Church was at least in good faith, Protestants should be able to accept that a unified institution of the faithful under the successors of the Apostles has allowed our faith and tradition to flourish, and has kept them secure for most of their existence.
"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Mt 18:20
Strawmen and shitposting, which have plagued this topic on 4chan, are masturbatory attempts to project a sense of superiority towards both others and yourself, which, if you had any confidence in your beliefs as they are, you wouldn't need. They warp and dilute the truth and are antithetical to anyone in search of it. I can't prevent any of you from ruining this thread, but I can say with certainty that by the end of the thread you will have changed nobody's opinions.
That being said, I have faith in ya'll, so don't let me or Jesus down.

wondering if a non-fundamentalist can respond to what this anon posted in a thread not too long ago. I don't mind arguing with fundamentalists but a fundamentalist already responded to this earlier and like always they weren't too convincing and were engaging in ad homs. if you're going to argue for a double prophecy please give reasons for why this passage should be interpreted that way, preferably with textual evidence from Isaiah and addressing the linguistic point he makes.
What's wrong with wewuzzing? It doesn't hurt anybody

It's intellectually dishonest and steals other people's history as it's own. The implications are massive and dangerous.
>>
>>2838626
the people for and against wewuzzing are ethnicityfags trying to 1-up the other ethnicity teams.
so naturally they are going to be competitive about it
>>
>>2838626
Depends on the context and purpose. General wewuzing is an attempt to hijack other people's histories to prove yourself superior and push aj agenda.
Shit like Hamilton doesn't bother me. Theater has wewuzed for centuries and often out of necessity. Dramatization of history will never be faithful.
Academic dishonesty however can be damaging to understanding our past.

What stopped blacks, native americans and aboriginals from becoming advanced civilizations, like the europeans and asians were? Instead they stayed as bronze age tier civilizations at best or stone age tribesmen at worst when europeans discovered them

Who knows, there is no simple answer. However Homo Sapiens is 100,000 to 250,000 years old, being even a thousand years ahead in terms of development is largely a blink of the eye.

Russians arent intelligent enough to be nihilistic back then.
When Napoleon invaded they burnt half their fertile land cause they don't give a fuck.
When Hitler invaded they used human wave tactics because they wanted to die.

You are granted one 30 minute time travel to whenever you want
You can do whatever you want within these 30 minutes, then you are teleported back to our current time
What would you do? Who would you talk to? How do you think it would affect our future?

Since when did /his/ turn into /pol/ 2.0? I haven't been on here in a few months and unsurprisingly the first 10 threads are low-key Islam hate threads, some eugenics bait (prob true desu), and communism/socialism debate threads.

I see this complaining about /pol/ on all other boards, and it's becoming really annoying. Whenever someone posts a right wing opinion, people always assume its some kind of /pol/ raid. It's so weird. As if only left wing views are normal and allowed, and anything else is obviously /pol/. Maybe the rest of 4chan isn't as unified as you thought?

All it would take is a lapse of judgement from those in control of the gates.
To give them the benefit of the doubt, the idea of the trojan horse is a well ingrained meme in our collective cultural consciousness.
The idea is an achievement of the human imagination whether it happened or not. If it did happen it is not hard to believe they would never see it coming.
Inclined to think it didn't happen because they second men start pouring out you can set the bitch on fire

Most of wealth is inherited. WWII didn't change THAT much in this manner, so it was natural it would bounce back but also it got heavily propped up by the US in the cold war.
