re: United Methodist Church closing 26 churches in Alabama: declining attendance

Bible scholar to the Roman Catholic priest. Father why do I have to confess to you when Jesus said "I am the way the truth and the light no man can come to the Father except by me."

Priest invoking George Carlin... it's a mystery

Scholar me doing the rosary or saying hail Mary's has no affect on my salvation as Jesus paid the price he restored me when he died for my sins hence the verse "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and though shalt be saved".

Don’t cut yourself on all that edge bro. Glad to see my favorite retarded Presbyterian is still alive and well.

All I did was make a factual statement.

Eta: the term “catholic” means “universal.” Romanism is a cult. The opposite.

Eta2: I’m a Christian. Romanist cult members do not think I am because o don’t follow Papist dogma invented since the true Church Fathers.
As far as additional , secondary labels go, I’m actually about as much an Augustinian as I am a Calvinist.

Amen, Marcion Christianity

Whooaaaa, so edgy bro. Bro literally no one has ever talked about Marcion the heretic and lunatic and his nonsensical claims over, like, the last 2000 years. Please edgelord, drop some of that Krishna knowledge on these uneducated peons and rake bro.

Nicene Political Convention and its perpetual lies to protect pedophiles, numbering in legions of victims

Can't relate, Orthodoxy says Papal infallibility is heresy and stood on that business 1000 years ago. If their priesthood wants to protect the pedophiles that's on them. Your narrow-minded ignorant grouping of all Christians who subscribe to the Council of Nicaea as "protectors of pedophiles" ranks #1 on the most ignorant things I've read on this site, and I read ignorant stuff on here every other scroll down the page. Congratulations athiest edgelord: here's your prize.

You do realize do you not that there were probably dozens of jewish preachers roaming around Palestine claiming Messiahhood

Do you think this is groundbreaking, unknown information? Even the most novice of Bible readers knows that is the case, let alone people with specific education outside of Scripture.

What were their names? How impactful was their following, even still today (since you're putting the known and numerous false prophets of the day on the same level as Jesus Christ and all)? Be specific while you're Googling. Were they crucified by Jews and Roman's, and did they amass 2.4 billion followers, talked about in this thread, did the world's other biggest religion follow in their footsteps and their followers die for a lie like you apparently believe Jesus's did? Who were they?

The Jesus trick came with the fabrication of the 3 days story and the 40 days story, and the 40 years story - all proven to be hooey

Quite a trick they pulled on those hooey lovers, ain't it bro? Nobody, not any of the 2.5 billion stupid Christians, nor 2000 years of humanity, has the intellect of FriendofBaruch, do they bro? Hit them with that KNOWLEDGE bro.

The answer clearly is not located in the vatican - though they have a great art and jewelry collection - dont know how much is being sent to their victims - always with victims

Well the first part is partially true, bless your heart, but you at least your fiery hate for Catholics and Christians as a whole has brought you to some truth, at least.

jesus wouldn’t recognize today’s church because he didn’t come to start a religion.


In fact, he said “Come all…”

Actually Christianity is on the uptick and no longer in decline - the new atheist movement is a failure and gen z is flocking to church.

So the poster that said the trend will continue is clueless

United Methodist Church closing 26 churches in Alabama: declining attendance

Hopefully their former attendees have sought out different churches instead of just outright walking away from Christianity altogether. The methodists, from my limited knowledge, seem to have really gone off the rails in the woke wagon.

As an aside, I don't understand how the Episcopal church is even still going at all.

well, you are the one sounding off about the gospels..

.. which are 100% sourced from Marcion and the original gospel of Christ..

Say it's not at the certainty of proving you don't have a clue

All four of the Nicene canon gospels - sourced or further transferred from Marcions Evangelikon and Apostilikon all from 30 to150 years a priori to the Nicene bastardizations by Nicene criminals who understood the need to squelch their lies - and the need for declaring heresy - 150 years after Marcion died

...almost entirely because of the words of their writers, ALSO up to a century prior, they hired to hide THEIR bastardizations, the LIES that would mislead the entirety of people that would become known as catholics.

a highly influenced band of criminals with millions of victims

edgy bro bitch

Maybe Sola Scriptura isn’t all it’s cracked up to be?

The Protestant branch is like the bud lite of Christianity. It doesn’t fill you up, it tastes like shite, and it’s kind of gay.

Didn't you hear? Jesus Christ did NOT say HE would build his Church, He said Martin Luther, John Calvin, Et al. would. Get with the program brother.

You cannot even validate your own doctrines with your own bible, much less know what scripture says instead of the traditions of men.

You know nothing about the Catholic Church. So don’t try to pretend you’re some kind of authority on what we believe
