I am thinking of becoming a Christian /pol/. The three main Churches I have in mind are the Catholic Church, the Orthodox Churches (Eastern or Oriental, either suffice) or the Lutherans (LCMS or WELS only, ELCA is infested with sjw cucks). What group should I pick? I like all three and am stuck in between who I should join into. What would Jesus want /pol/?

But what does Jesus want?
>>
>>129168399
I the read the Bible. I speed through the New Testament and I am currently reading through the Old Testament for some better understanding. I like Jesus. I like his message. Chrisitanity has strong moral foundations and also strong doctrinal foundations and a fascinating history. It is the cornerstone of the west. I accept Christ as my Lord.

baptist/evangelical usually observe the Bible very closely and have very strong faith in it
don't fall for memes, they push the idea of baptists being incestuous freaks in the media to try to discredit them
if you don't believe me just do some research on your own, check the beliefs of the groups you are interested in and see how they match up with what the bible says

>“Supporting Israel is not a political issue ... it is a bible issue,” pastor John Hagee, the founder and national chairman of Christians United for Israel, said in a speech last year.

>Evangelical Christians make up the biggest pro-Israel bloc in the US. Support for Israel is stronger among American evangelicals than it is even among American Jews. According to a poll conducted by the Pew Research Center, 82 percent of white evangelicals think God gave Israel to the Jewish people. Less than half as many Jewish Americans or Catholic Americans agree.

>And according to a Bloomberg poll, almost 60 percent of evangelicals say the US should support Israel even if its interests diverge with American interests.

Orthodox, Serb/Greek/Russian.

We were the bastion and the last frontier. For almost 400 years the ottomans tried to convert us serbs. It took the last 50 years, to convert a handful. They besieged us, wanted to make our capital as the diamond of Islam in Europe with 400 mosques.

Only 1 remain.

And we as a people are still steadfast. It's a real church, I myself am not a big believer. But I do really find our churches and priests very, very true. OG to their cause. No damn speakers, projectors or other bullshit like in protestant churches.

Jesus doesn't want you to go to church; he wants you to have him in your heart. The gift he gave to us was the ability to speak to God directly, through Jesus, without the need for the (corrupt) church. If you read the bible and understood his purpose, you'd know this. All churches are "false churches." Follow Christ, not the church.

Irenaeus shows the close relationship between the predicted events of Daniel 2 and 7. Rome, the fourth prophetic kingdom, would end in a tenfold partition. The ten divisions of the empire are the "ten horns" of Daniel 7 and the "ten horns" in Revelation 17. A "little horn," which is to supplant three of Rome's ten divisions, is also the still future "eighth" in Revelation. Irenaeus climaxes with the destruction of all kingdoms at the Second Advent, when Christ, the prophesied "stone," cut out of the mountain without hands, smites the image after Rome's division

>Jewish jerusalem is most likely babylon the great.


Truly idiotic. Rome will be destroyed by the rock built with no hands.

And this is what Irenaeus says about the Eucharist

"So then, if the mixed cup and the manufactured bread receive the Word of God and become the Eucharist, that is to say, the Blood and Body of Christ, which fortify and build up the substance of our flesh, how can these people claim that the flesh is incapable of receiving God's gift of eternal life, when it is nourished by Christ's Blood and Body and is His member? As the blessed apostle says in his letter to the Ephesians, 'For we are members of His Body, of His flesh and of His bones' (Eph. 5:30). He is not talking about some kind of 'spiritual' and 'invisible' man, 'for a spirit does not have flesh an bones' (Lk. 24:39). No, he is talking of the organism possessed by a real human being, composed of flesh and nerves and bones. It is this which is nourished by the cup which is His Blood, and is fortified by the bread which is His Body. The stem of the vine takes root in the earth and eventually bears fruit, and 'the grain of wheat falls into the earth' (Jn. 12:24), dissolves, rises again, multiplied by the all-containing Spirit of God, and finally after skilled processing, is put to human use. These two then receive the Word of God and become the Eucharist, which is the Body and Blood of Christ."

-"Five Books on the Unmasking and Refutation of the Falsely

Named Gnosis". Book 5:2, 2-3, circa 180 A.D. "For just as the bread which comes from the earth, having received the invocation of God, is no longer ordinary bread, but the Eucharist, consisting of two realities, earthly and heavenly, so our bodies, having received the Eucharist, are no longer corruptible, because they have the hope of the resurrection."

I attend a WELS church though I consider myself an independent Confessional Lutheran. Read the Book of Concord, or at least the Augsburg Confession, in order to see why we are the closest to the Word.

I also respect the Orthodox guys, but don't fall for Catholicism, especially now that their pope is 100% cucked.

WELS and LCMS are very good options. You will still find some "muh Africa missions" and some contemporary worship faggots but your average small town white church is golden.

The one heresy that even mainline Lutheranism suffers from is Universal Justification, based on shitty readings of Romans. "Even people in hell are forgiven all their sins" because muh "Jesus loves you so much he doesn't even follow his own rules" shit trying to fill church pews with filthy heathens. If you remember that justification is by faith alone, and that unbelievers are not forgiven, you will do fine.

>7For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

This is the last system the one we have now the eight beast is america probably. the 10 kings formed america

> 11And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. 12And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 13These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. 46Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

Catholic. Catholicism was the first Christian religion, starting a few thousand years ago by the Disciples, Catholicism is also big on muslim killing, so it has that going for it too
>>
>I am thinking of becoming a Christian /pol/
>What group should I pick?

That's not how it works... Christianity is a relationship with God, not a mere religion. Christian literally means follower of Christ! All of the early Christians were simply disciples of Jesus, they were later called Christians for the first time in Antioch (as can be read in the Book of Acts).

What you should do, is learn who Jesus is, and he taught, and what he did for you. You do this by reading the Bible, and possibly praying too.

Repent of your sins, believe in him, and be baptized, then receive the holy spirit.

Here, watch this too:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFuJa5n3hAU&list=PL1uFkq_wpOTJhZeCud6eW84CP1OPsEQgv

I hope you give your life to Christ, heaven rejoices every time this happens! :)

"I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent."
(Luke 15:7)

>Matthew 7:22-23: Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

Romans 3
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

There is no queen of heaven. Mary is the mother of god though. Simple logic leads us to that. She is the mother of jesus who is god. To deny mary the title of theotokos means to deny jesus the title of god and implies he was only a man whoch makes you an arian and not a christian.

How would you know if i have the holy spirit in me? Only god knows. Do you claim to be god?

So a gnostic and an arian. There is no end to the basket of heresies that protestantism unleashes

Romans 4
1What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
3For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

Matthew 7
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

(Relating to the Father’s will in Matthew 7:21)
John 6
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Matthew 7:21 is saying that you can't fake having faith. You actually have to believe. Also Matthew 7:22-23 sounds like relying on your works gets you to not enter Heaven.

John 3

14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Here's why using James 2 to prove works based salvation is silly. (video https://youtu.be/C3QCpp2J5M0) James 2 says that we are justified by faith and works. So we need to determine if it's talking about
>justification before God, which is also known as salvation
or
>justification before man, generally for a specific and certain purpose
James doesn't just talk about faith and works giving his own opinions, he uses the example of Abraham and Isaac. Here's the quote
>21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
>22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
>23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
>24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only
So according to him, Abraham was justified when he offered up Isaac. Alright, is that justification before God, or justification before man? Well, look at Genesis 21, where Abraham has Isaac. It says in verse 5
>5 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
So when Abraham offered up Isaac, he was over 100 years old. Why is that relevant? Look at Genesis 12:1-4
>1 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
>2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
>3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

>>129202885
>4 So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
So Abraham (at this time, Abram) was guided by God and worshiped him when he was 75 years old, yet offered up Isaac when he was over 100 years old. So if you believe James is talking about justification before god or salvation, then during those 25 years, he was apparently not justified before God. He was unsaved, and yet he was being guided by God. He wasn't justified at all until that time, and would have gone to hell if he died during those 25 years between leaving his country and having Isaac. That's ridiculous. It makes more sense that he was justified by man. A very specific man in this case, being Isaac. Isaac now believed the faith of his father, and they even offer sacrifice to God together immediately after the event. This also guaranteed that Isaac would pass down the religion of Abraham to his kids. It makes more sense and creates greater continuity with the rest of The Bible if James is talking about justification before man

You can know if you have the Holy Spirit, have you even read the Book of Acts? Be careful what you preach, you will be judged more harshly.

--

While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.”

He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
(Matthew 12:46-50)

4For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Reverlation 21:7
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

We worship a living God who interacts with us all the time, it's as biblical as it gets. Repent my friend.

I ask you heavenly Father to open this person's eyes in Jesus name, that he may know how real and loving you are, that you yearn for a relationship with us, to guide us in every aspect of our lives through the Holy Spirit whom you gave us, called the helper and the comforter. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven, thank you God, Amen.
