The HRCC needs to reform itself and rid the Vatican of the Marxist Pope.

If Constantine, who founded the Catholic Church
Constantine didn't found any church. He simply stopped the mass persecution of Catholics by making Christianity legal. It wouldn't even become the official religion of Rome for another 70ish years, and under a completely different emperor.
ETA: I see you live in Bogalusa. There is nothing more ignorant than a Washington Parish Baptist pastor when it comes to church history and scripture, so I forgive you for actually believing this about Constantine and the church.

Far less common than Protestants converting to Catholicism. When I was a Protestant, we might have a Catholic join our church every few years. My Catholic church in the same town welcomes about a dozen new converts every Easter vigil.

Did not.

The Church merely recognized and received what God provided.
The church had no canon at all, and no gospel of an earthly Jesus at all, before Markion of Sinope published the very first Christian Bible and laid out his canon. It was Markion who collected the letters of Paul. It was Markion who had perhaps the very first earthly gospel of Jesus in his possession - an early form of “Luke” without a nativity story.
The church stole Markion’s works - his collection of Paul’s epistles called Apostolikon and the gospel of the Lord called Evangelikon. And as a response to the most popular form of Christianity at the time - one which denied Yahweh was in any way related to Jesus and that Jesus had come to rescue the world from Yahweh - the Roman church inserted the then-current Jewish Bible in front of Markion’s Bible (not having sense to know the then-current Jewish Bible was not the body of scripture to the earliest Christian’s a couple hundred years before them) and excommunicated Markion.
Later on as fan fiction went into overdrive, and some 70 gospels were floating in circulation, Irenaeus of Lyon picked out the four gospels he liked the most. He took those gospels and rationalized who must’ve wrote those anonymously-written manuscripts. And voila - that’s how we got “Mark” “Matthew” “Luke” and “John”. How did Irenaeus justify having four gospels as opposed to the Evangelikon? Why, because there are 4 winds, of course! All of Markion’s original bibles were burned.
The fact that we have over 70 Christian gospels attempting to portray 70 different versions of Jesus proves that for that movement writing fan fiction was a normal occurrence.
In the church’s haste to be anti-Markion, in adopting the then-current Jewish Bible, they failed to adopt actual Christian scriptures like what we call today 1 Enoch, Jubilees, book of Noah, Words of Moses, apocryphon of Moses, apocryphon of David, the book of Giants, the Aramaic Apocalypse “the son of God text”, testament of Levi, testament of Joseph, apocryphon of Malachi, and Melchizedek scroll. All those I mentioned were found in the Dead Sea scrolls and date to around 150-50BCE.
Side note: these Dead Sea Scrolls group of Essene Jews were oddly concerned with the sun of righteousness with healing in her wings (Asherah) and oddly concerned with the coming of Melchizedek to replace the corrupt priests in Jerusalem and perching in a new Jewish Kingdom of God on earth.
You know what? Jesus is said to be God’s new high priest on the order of Melchizedek. Probably just a coincidence.

Guy, y’all branched off then started televangelism. The entire point to branch off wasn’t yalls faith, it was wanting yalls leaders to be able to get some arse and make some money. Be real.
Branch off religions of the Catholic Church simply didn’t want to have to put that work in. They wanted to say they are saved and go about their day. Laughable.
Hilarious to me any Christian sect can talk smack when there are thousands upon thousands of churches under the same Christian umbrella that are all out for profit and split up churches over the most irrelevant positions
Laughable. No backbone

Every time I see threads like these it makes me so sad. Especially in the world we live in.
We alone have no hope. Evil is completely united, just as Jesus said. But we are so completely fractured, we, as the church will never come together without divine intervention.
Leave the denominations at the door. Follow the words of Christ, brothers.
Mark 3:25
If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
Thank you.
With everything going on in the world Christians of all denominations would do well to focus on what we all have in common rather than whatever doctrine divides us.

So if God doesn’t exist then how would you explain the universe starting from nothing ?
Atheists don’t believe the universe started from nothing. The best models show that all the matter and energy in the universe already existed prior to cosmic expansion.
It is Christians who typically believe the universe started from nothing, and that their god spoke it into existence. In fact their scripture - both the accounts of Genesis 1 and 2 - state that the earth was already existing when “God” began to manipulate it and give it form and bring order out of chaos. Genesis 1, a copy of the Babylonian creation myth, has the earth formless and void when Elohim began to form it. Genesis 1:1 is a temporal clause that describes the condition the earth was in when Elohim began to shape it (NOT creation ex nihilo). The earth is covered in waters of chaos, and Elohim defeated the water dragon of chaos Tiahmat and split its corpse to create the firmament and put half the water above the firmament and half below the firmament. The Hebrew word for “sea” is Tehom - a cognate of the Babylonian Tiahmat. Canaanites also called this water dragon Liatanu or Leviathan.
Genesis 2 is an older creation story of Canaanite origin in which the world started out not covered in water but as a barren wasteland of a desert.
In both stories, before Elohim or Yahweh Elohim got involved, the earth already existed.
Who created the earth then? And who created God? If everything that exists has a cause, and God exists, what caused him to exist? Be prepared whatever excuse you use as to why nothing caused God to exist - that he always existed - be prepared for the atheist to use your own argument to explain matter.

So basically when you get back to the creation of all things I would argue it takes just as much faith to believe in all matter in the universe being created from nothing through some natural process as it does to believe it was created by an omnipotent being.
I really J Petersons take on these oldest stories in that they obviously took thousands of years to develop and then are so fundamentally important to our human existence that we still tell them today. There has to be some reason for that.

Who do you think is behind these churches? The Catholics are. Your pope is a shithead who thinks gay marriage and straight blasphemy is ok. Gtfo with this crap. Go pray to mary. Maybe she can intercede on your behalf. Wait she can't, only Jesus can. Repent and believe or go to hell.

Stop it. Analyzing verifiable facts and evidence using the scientific method is not faith. It’s the opposite. And it’s a stupid worn out apologetic argument.
quote:

Stop it. No one is making the argument that all matter was created or that it came from nothing. No one that is except for Christians. Atheists do not make this argument. You obviously were too lazy to read my post to which you replied, because I explained matter and energy already existing at the time of cosmic expansion “big bang”.
It doesn’t take faith to be an atheist. It quite literally takes the opposite of faith.
