>>23712 some trivia and historical background: >Saint Valentine (Bishop and Martyr) >Born: c. 226 in Terni, Italia, Roman Empire >Died: c. 269 (aged 42–43) in Rome, Roman Empire >Feast February 14 (Catholic, Anglican and Lutheran Churches), July 6 and July 30 (Eastern Orthodox) >Saint Valentine (Italian: San Valentino; Latin: Valentinus) was a 3rd-century Roman saint, commemorated in Western Christianity on February 14 and in Eastern Orthodoxy on July 6. From the High Middle Ages, his Saints' Day has been associated with a tradition of courtly love. He is also a patron saint of Terni, epilepsy and beekeepers.[2][3] Saint Valentine was a clergyman – either a priest or a bishop – in the Roman Empire who ministered to persecuted Christians.[4] He was martyred and his body buried on the Via Flaminia on February 14, which has been observed as the Feast of Saint Valentine (Saint Valentine's Day) since at least the eighth century. >Saint Valentine of Rome was martyred on February 14 in AD 269. >The Feast of Saint Valentine, also known as Saint Valentine's Day, was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496 to be celebrated on February 14 in honour of the Christian martyr. >Many of the current legends that characterize Saint Valentine were invented in the 14th century in England, notably by Geoffrey Chaucer and his circle, when the feast day of February 14 first became associated with romantic love. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Valentine

>>23627 I found this story while investigating the Psalm issue: >"Concern for doctrinal position and religious implications continued to influence interpretations in the modern critical period. When the famous editor/publisher Daniel Bomberg was preparing a rabbinic Bible for publication [c.1517], he noted that the word in question appeared with a VAV rather than a YOD. It was changed to YOD because otherwise, Bomberg complained, “no Jew would buy copies of his Hebrew Bible.” [Kristin M. Swenson, Psalm 22:17: Circling around the Problem Again, Journal of Biblical Literature 123 (2004): 639] https://www.christian-thinktank.com/ps22cheat.html This makes the issue of determining the authentic text even more critical.

Codex Sassoon Heads to Auction >Sotheby’s has announced the upcoming auction of Codex Sassoon aka The Damascus Pentateuch. They are dubbing it “The Earliest, Most Complete Hebrew Bible” and anticipating that, at $30–50m, it could be “the highest valued manuscript or historical document ever offered at auction.” From their description: >The earliest, most complete copy of the Hebrew Bible is actually a book known as Codex Sassoon, named for its most prominent modern owner: David Solomon Sassoon (1880–1942), a passionate collector of Judaica and Hebraic manuscripts. Dating to the late 9th or early 10th century, Codex Sassoon contains all 24 books of the Hebrew Bible – missing only 12 leaves – and precedes the earliest entirely complete Hebrew Bible, the Leningrad Codex, by nearly a century. https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/sassoon-codex-oldest-most-complete-hebrew-bible

>>23737 Why is it called a Pentateuch if it's a complete Old Testament?

>>23737 finna whip this bad boy out and start quoting from it any time i get in an argument about religion.

>>23738 The original article I found about it seemed to be confused between two manuscripts, Sassoon 507 is the Damascus Pentateuch but the one being auctioned is actually Sassoon 1053. It also seems that someone took photos of it before it was privately bought: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Tanakh-MS-Sassoon-1053 https://archive.org/details/Sassoon_1053_Tanakh

Pray for the unity of christians by the truth which comes only from God, and not unity by the sinful averageness of humanity.

>>22934 >What's the deal with christian infighting Why did Christ rebuke pharisees so much? They set themselves up between God and man and led many to hell with them. >>22942 Meanwhile, Rome has more gold than the Jews.

Any christian wasting time fighting other christians, is being helpful to the enemy of the Lord Christ, and helpful to the enemy of the church established by the Lord Christ on earth, that is, christians attacking other christians are helpful to satan. That said, the church of christ has been attacked since the very start, but evil will not win over it, because evil can't win against God, and God is the protection and foundation by faith and grace of the real church of christ. So be strong in faith in the only true God, who sent his Son Jesus Christ on earth to guide and free humanity from evil, by the power of the Holy Spirit of God. Do God's will, live the gift of life God has granted to humanity out of his goodness, ignore the attacks of evil on the church of the Lord Jesus, since those attacks from the enemy are and will always be worthless and will always fail to ever defeat either of God or his church. God blesses always everyone, may more people listen God and be sanctified by his Word.

The most annoying Atheists are those who left religion because their relatives were douchebags, but instead of at least trying to come back (unless it's heretic), they decide to act smug about it. You also have those who take moments from Old Testament out of context (which would apply to Jews and Muslims) and call God asshole for what he did while in reality God did have reasons. Also, if anyone complains about why God gave us free will, there is a reason why, but we all know that there are free will doesn't mean freedom of consequences.

>>23681 I think the best way to deal with problems by simply ignoring differences between each other and by stopping calling each other degenerates and heretics over something stupid we did. One man wrote somewhere that we should be spiritually connected to Jesus and just materially as I remember. Maybe I remembered it wrong, but he knows what he meant.

>>23419 >If one cannot understand it (*properly*), it is a reasonable inference that one CAN'T ACTUALLY FOLLOW IT. You can follow what the Church teaches about the Bible. Those who reject Matt 16, and reject the Church of Christ that the Lord created are following something else. The Big C Church is the faith left by the Bible the teachings of the True Popes and the traditions of the church before it fell to the Freemasons. You are right, I can't point to a church building or a parish with the "Church", but as protestants are fond of saying, the Church is the people. So the people who follow the faith of Bible and True Popes and Traditions (like penance) are the Church. The Jews believed that God choose them. The Lord says he can make sons of Abraham from rocks if he wants. Christians, on the other hand, choose Christ, and that means accepting all of his word, including Matt 16 and his church

>>23424 >The Big C Church is the faith left by the Bible the teachings of the True Popes and the traditions of the church before it fell to the Freemasons. You are right, I can't point to a church building or a parish with the "Church", but as protestants are fond of saying, the Church is the people.

>1.Do you believe that this /christian/ community is contributing to the advancement of the kingdom of God? Can God use this imageboard to change someone's life? I don't think so. Anonymous, online, disembodied. So many people here still being the same they were before converting but with just some christian flare on it. Still using foul language, still hating on others relentlessly the same way but now with a theological backing. It makes me laugh. If you truly understood the problem of technology and the internet and of the pretty and stylized images within it, you would've left places like these a long time ago.

>>23697 Wise words. I agree with you. It's been a few years since I started attending this mageboard. People here don't have that Christian flare, they live like people of the world, they talk like people of the world. >If you truly understood the problem of technology and the internet and of the pretty and stylized images within it, you would've left places like these a long time ago. And why haven't you left this place yet? Do you think if there were good moderators things would be different?

>1.Do you believe that this /christian/ community is contributing to the advancement of the kingdom of God? Can God use this imageboard to change someone's life? Yes, but it's also mostly a image board for Christians to talk about stuff.

>>23648 found the coping atheist from leftypol glory to god

>>23646 >>23646 nietzsche was more of aphorist than a metaphysician akin to the sophists of old, the whole orientation of existentialism is to bypass dialectic and offer a psychological appeasement to the feeling of existential angst which appeals to the will through aesthetic pastiches rather than the intellect. Existentialism is the self-immolation of philosophy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XShzDpWoi_M&ab_channel=ArtinSalimi of course people will have a knee jerk reaction to marxism, which actually owes its genesis to Christianity and is in fact christianity temporalised, i do not mean as a political ideology but as a mode of analysis, it is a great fiction that marx and engels set out a programme of action to bring about its realisation and so the crimes of self appointed revolutionaries cannot be ascribed to them neither must we accept all that they said. Communism ( I do not mean its vulgar materialist conception) is indeed the ideal of christianity as to poltical and economic orientation and verses can be brought forth in its support we see it prefigured in the book of acts, in cathodoxy monasticism is upheld as the blessed ideal and indeed it came about once the religion became mainstream during the constantinian era, the church could no longer address itself to an elect who served god above all human respectability as a illegitimate and slandered sect, and indeed among protestants it was prefigured in the muntzer rebellion who wished to hold all things in common. Other than christian and religious philosophers of other traditions, the great critics of nietzsche are the marxists who see him as a literary exponent and defender of the bourgeosie who were becoming defaced and in a contradictory position in society losing their raison de'tre due to the dissolution of the of the ancien regime and its stability introducing a dynamism which would later come back to haunt with the fiction of society being founded on pure reason which has no coercion and mutual agreement except with the compliment of revelation now divorced from its static foundation in dogma and finding themselves confronted with a growing proletariat as the bourgeois revolutions slowly reached equilibrium. So finding themselves in a irrational situation where their existence as a class becomes increasingly superfluous they attack the very principle of reason itself, indeed we see this strand of thought brought to an extreme in the post-modernism of late capitalism which lends it service to the elite, not out of their ideological commitment but out of pragmatic considerations in regard to class consciousness when confronting with the cultural logic of postmodernism a man breaks his mind when he peers upon what is unintelligible as a zen monk recites koans whether by word or letter which are phrases which at first glance seemingly intelligible are on examination illogical and meaningless of which the goal is to break down the discursive reasoning of the proselyte and to cease his striving which is the goal of the cultural logic of postmodernism which is to deface the masses and chip away at their being through daily the psyops of which they are exposed foremost in the media of which the elite own almost as rule but seeps into every medium until it becomes the logic of the very ambience we breath until man cannot follow any principle with surety except the love of money which the lord said is the root of all evil. Christ said that we will be tested as fire and our good fruits will be refined like gold in a furnance, satan as he is the god of this world and has influence over its nations which is demonstrated thru his temptation of christ worldly lordship over the nations and pauls counsel that we fight against evil in high places, naturally, satan inverts the lords metallurgic parable desiring to sifts us like wheat and those not found to be built upon a sure foundation of which consists all that is good in the soul of man, satan seeks to obfuscate as indeed the author of confusion his weapon of choice which either overwhelms and results in despair or dulls the intellect and to enslave it to the lower soul of consists the senses and the vegetative aspect of which man shares in common with the beasts, the proliferation of vice makes the masses easier to subdue and the solution all the more unattractive. Herein lies the philistinism of the masses and the glorification of science which does not rise above the senses and whom constitute a priestly caste, man now no longer defers to the magisterium or canon of the scriptures but the scientific consensus and their opinions formed through the astroturfing of mass media and enforced through peer pressure and as a coward finds solace in a brigand rather than honourable combat so too does the feeble mindeed find solace in the common opinion as all higher principle being pull underneath him all is left is the instinct of safety, and the cult of the body and sport of which the fathers where not lacking against their admonishments against the shows of the pagans which instils blood-lust, division and inflames the bestial nature of man. Passion being the sole reason for union between man and women, ones wealth and appearance being the sole marker of status and favour all greater pursuits done for the approval of man or out of subjective taste rather than it being good for its own sake or gods glory and honour. The focus upon science is also encouraged by the elites as it offers greater horizons and proliferation of commodification and the intelligibility of nature appeals to the self preservation of man and technology increases our bind to the system which does not exist for our common good but for the oligarchy, indeed the common good cannot except in appearance until the dissolution of money and private property (not personal property), which is not only the source of of avarice but envy which is often levied by the proponents of the antichrist system and since all vices feed into eachother, so likewise as long as this continues to be a source of vice, it would not be a far fetch to see within money a prefigurement of the beast's mark.

Slave morality and master morality are concepts that have to do with Nietzsche's 'will to power'. The former term just means morality, and the latter really means autotheism. Most of the edgy morons you'll find using the terms online have no idea what these words mean, they're just using slave morality as an insult

>>23646 Nietzsche's slave and master moralities are perceived as such because the former, typically Christianity, must derive its laws, reason, and actions from a greater power. His internalization of these will them be in the context of himself as being owned. Master morality is autotheism, the concept of oneself being the ultimate arbiter of morality and deriving actions from himself as conscious choices to later internalize into his own image. To Nietzsche, a slave follows while a master agrees.

>>18389 Hilarious misinterpretation. I'm new at this and even I know why god "commanded" certain people to be eunuchs. That has to do with with "putting away" a wife (in other words not having sex with her). Which probably means that said husband is either gay, or adulters behind everybodys back.

>>17081 Why are you here exactly? Everyone already knows that your precous talmud says about the Messiah.

>>11599 Ironically, the more the world becomes soulless and empty, the more by contrast the Word of God becomes bright and fulfilling. Humanity can't live without faith in God, so the more the decaying modern culture tries to push people away from God, the more the thirst of God and holyness of the people remains unsatiated. So just study the more positive and constructive parts of the message of God, the gifts and blessings which God gives to humanity, and deliver the good news everywhere and anytime, for anyone waiting for God to reach them.

>>23554 "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ." Colossians 2:16-17 KJV "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace." Galatians 5:1-4 KJV The same reasoning that Paul applied to circumcision could be applied to the weekly sabbath. God's Word urges you to stop seeking to be justified by law-keeping; rather, trust in Jesus Christ. He is our sabbath, not observed by a carnal day, but is observed by having faith in him: "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief." Hebrews 4:9-11 KJV
