>>23121 And there you go again, accusing me of lies and ad homs, while you ad hom yourself. Either answer my question, or I'm going to assume that your de facto answer is number 3 and ignore you for the troll that you are. Final chance.

>>23122 You did lie about me. You answer every argument I made by lying about me. You said I had autism. Lie. You said I was a professional Troll. LIE You said I'm looking for ways CAtholism can be debunked. LIE. And you made you lies about what I said look like clipped quotes. And you're lying in this post. Why should I answer your questions when you're just going to make MORE personal attacks and lie about what I said? There. You've done it. You got my goat by lying about me viciously. You have no spirit of God in you. You've won.

I have become convinced that in many protestant religions, the sin of false witness is allowed especially against Catholics. Done with this. Christ isn't in some people, only hate. and they hope to bring you down to their level. Demons are in them. I've never had the Bishop's blow. There is no obligation for me to try and save the wicked from their demons.

>>23125 >>23126 Disappointing but not surprising. As that old saying goes: "When people show you who they really are the first time, believe them." Time and again you've shown me who you really are; whether you start threads like this under a false pretext, or you engage in slimy and slippery mental gymnastics, twisting of words, arguing in bad faith or projection. Especially projection. Everything you said in these two posts describe your tactics to a T, and you project them on to me. On the bright side, in my discussions with you, by your behavior and tactics, as well as your arguments and espoused beliefs, I have become all the more convicted and convinced that Roman Catholicism is a false and demonic religion of Satan; not merely just misguided brothers and sisters in Christ. A religion so infected with doctrines of demons, that adherents like you are literally willing to defend it even as it damns them to Hell by made up sins beyond their control. Think about it: you're literally willing to go to Hell for a "church" that flagrantly falsely holds you accountable for the sins of your wife and daughter, that you can't even control. You're clearly either a professional troll, or someone with severe mental issues, as these are the only two explanations that explain your obsessive, monotonous and infuriating behavior. The same posts, the same arguments, the same phrases, the same pics, the same twisting and mental gymnastics and lies over and over again. Well, I'm done. I'm tired of beating my heart against some madman's wall. When I say I'll pray for you, I mean it from the bottom of my heart, because it is a colossal waste of my time to try and reason with you anymore.

>>23131 Prove I have autism. prove I am a professional troll. Explain how it was not false witness to provide quotes that I did NOT say. OR confess you bore false witness and stop pretending to be the victim.

Who is the jannie that deleted my posts?

>>20134 Freemasons are very interesting to me personally. I've spent alot of my freetime lately reading up on them and what not and i feel confident in saying they arent the boogeyman many people think of. I dont like using the word "good guys" because its not really an accurate description of humanity but if anybody comes close enough to that definition it would have to be them. Not only have many freemasons and supposed freemasons fought against bad things and many have even been hated by "bad" people but also the beliefs promoted by the Lodge are virtuous in nature. The fact belief in God/god is mandatory, their belief in charity, truth, and love all make them seem pretty legit to me. I'm not a freemason, although my grandfather and some (deceased) relatives are/were but i wont lie, the more i look into them and the older i get the more i feel drawn toward their organization and find myself agreeing with their, and their members throughout histories, views.

>>21336 >Not only have many freemasons and supposed freemasons fought against bad things and many have even been hated by "bad" people but also the beliefs promoted by the Lodge are virtuous in nature. The fact belief in God/god is mandatory, their belief in charity, truth, and love all make them seem pretty legit to me. That's just a surface level interpretation, they're not actual deists they worship lucifer, they just hide the God they worship for the uninitiated.

>>21337 thats what everybody says, and yet

>>21338 lol

>>21111 >To what end are you looking to consider magnitude in sin when all sin takes you away from God's satisfaction Where is this in scripture? Not in the old testament, where some sins have a penalty of Death and others require penance in the form of a sacrifice.

>>18822 Anonymous has no authority. I believe in the authority of the Father, the Son and the holy spirit.

>>20662 Do you believe that your parents were given authority over you by God?

>>18808 Christ said they were the synagogue of Satan because they turned the judaism into a money worshipping hole, after Rome destroyed their Temple their satan worship stopped. So the synagogue of Satan switched with the Islam, they worship the Devil and as such they're the ones we should evangelize while jews live and die in their sin

>>20655 >>20668 Please ignore this individual. They are a notorious troll on this board who try to steer every thread into a Protestant vs. Catholic slap fight.

>>23167 What do you make of the commandment "Honor thy father and mother"? What about Malachi 1:6 6 The son honoureth the father, and the servant his master: if then I be a father, where is my honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the Lord of hosts. Honor seems to mean "obey" as well as not be critical of them. if you feel an anon posted something in error, it is the Christian way to correct them.

>>22803 Regarding Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, his "service" in the Hitler Youth, and his handling of the abuse crisis (copied from https://www.reddit.com/r/Catholicism/comments/1000jd1/regarding_pope_emeritus_benedict_xvi_his_service/ ) When he was 14, Benedict XVI (then Joseph Ratzinger; popes, upon election, normally take a papal name in honor of a predecessor or another figure who has inspired their life) was conscripted into the Hitler Youth. This was mandatory at the time in Germany; all youth were conscripted into the Hitler Youth, he had no decision in the matter. Young Joseph Ratzinger's family were ardent anti-Nazis, and he refused to attend Hitler Youth meetings. The Simon Wiesenthal Center congratulated Benedict XVI on being elected pope, and acknowledged the same in their message to him, which would seem hardly appropriate if Benedict XVI had some sort of Nazi sympathy or past. Plainly, those who continue to slander Benedict XVI as a Nazi are either utterly ignorant, or simply blindly hateful. As pope, Benedict XVI reigned during one of the most difficult periods in the Church's history. Many reports of sexual abuse by members of the clergy was coming to light for the first time in the decades since it had happened (the vast majority of abuse occurred between the 50s and 70s--a period during which sexual libertinism was sweeping most of the West--but not reported publicly until the 90s and early 00s). As part of the prior pontificate, then-Cardinal Ratzinger was responsible for the release of new procedures for handling clerical abuse cases, and as pope, Benedict XVI removed not only hundreds of priests, but likely hundreds of bishops as part of his response to allegations of abuse. In Germany, there have been reports by media outlets that Benedict XVI failed to take action against an abusive priest while he was bishop there, but the reporting on the story has been misleading at best, maliciously biased at worst. As Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI addressed the topic directly, himself just this year. https://www.wiesenthal.com/about/news/statement-by-simon-wiesenthal.html https://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/motu_proprio/documents/hf_jp-ii_motu-proprio_20020110_sacramentorum-sanctitatis-tutela.html https://apnews.com/article/242c784432fb49e682d50c00998380e1 http://chiesa.espresso.repubblica.it/articolo/1350268bdc4.html?eng=y https://canonlawmadeeasy.com/2022/02/10/did-benedict-xvi-cover-up-clerical-sexual-abuse/ https://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/en/bollettino/pubblico/2022/02/08/220208b.html

>>22804 (continuation) If you want to read a short article on myths about the clergy sexual abuse scandal in the Catholic Church by a non-Catholic source, you can do so here. Additional sources which may re-frame the hindsight bias of "but why didn't they take action then, that we know is appropriate now?" may be found in the scientific literature surrounding how paraphilias were understood and treated in the era most of the abuse occurred, such as this brief history on behavioral approaches to sex offenders or brief overview of theory and treatment (e.g., "Mohr, Turner, and Jerry (1964), on the other hand, in their study of child molesters concluded that these offenders were typically "harmless fondlers,"; but their database was simply the reports of the offenders. Unfortunately, Mohr et al.’s study gained widespread publicity and appeared to convince some people in the justice system in Canada that child molestation, in all but exceptional cases, did not harm the victims so extensively that a prison sentence was warranted.") If you want to read the Church in the United States' report on sexual abuse, you can do so here. Suffice to say, Reddit can be a place where some users find community, but others feel it is appropriate to spew vile hatred out of either malicious or innocent ignorance (as has happened before on /r/Catholicism regarding other issues surrounding the Church). Many parts of Reddit are today showing their "true colors," so to speak, in continuing to slander one of the world's foremost theologians and a man who contributed greatly to the Church's reform and revitalization in many parts of the world. Let's pray for our departed and beloved Pope Emeritus, and for all of those who would slander him, that they may grow closer to the Lord our God, the source of all Truth. https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/do-the-right-thing/201003/six-myths-about-clergy-sexual-abuse-in-the-catholic-church https://link.springer.com/article/10.1023/A:1022325231175 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11920-018-0920-0 https://www.usccb.org/sites/default/files/issues-and-action/child-and-youth-protection/upload/The-Causes-and-Context-of-Sexual-Abuse-of-Minors-by-Catholic-Priests-in-the-United-States-1950-2010.pdf https://www.reddit.com/r/Catholicism/comments/o7yu1m/megathread_residential_schools_in_canada_and/

>>22607 >I'm attentive to her needs My friend, that is the problem. You are pleasure-oriented for your wife. She sounds egoistical, mentally damaged and she has not attraction towards you. Denying her body to you is a grave sin and constitutes marriage-fraud. She has no reason to deny her body just because she does not feel like it. An incel has it better than you right now. Women are fundamentally servile to and want to please men all the time. If you gave too many occasions for her to feel the opposite it is natural she will despise you and deny sex. The time of reperation will be long and you need to realize you are too soft with your wife.

>>22607 >she doesn't have a libido, and the sexual act itself is unpleasant and somewhat painful same old history, sorry brother but she does have a libido, but you arent attractived to her anymore

>>22607 rekindle the love. you know what i mean.

Matthew 22:37-39 ''37 Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind. 38 This is the greatest and the first commandment. 39 And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.'' Romans 13:9 9 For Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness: Thou shalt not covet: and if there be any other commandment, it is comprised in this word, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Clearly, God and Church teaches us, in scripture since the Law of Moses, that it is a mortal sin to harm someone else. If you love God you keep the first three commandments, and if you believe in the Lord you keep the 7 to not harm your neighbor. It's why I have an issue and reject the false gospel of Aquinas; he changes this teaching and made a mortal sin out of the slightest temptation. You can mortally sin, according to Aquinas, with nothing more than an impure thought. You are damned to hell, according to Aquinas, for sins that harms no one. Aquinas said that thoughts of sex are a sin against your own body and thus a sin against the Church, and thus you are damned. This is not what Pope Saint Pius X taught in his catechism, and if a Pope says, then no "saint" or church father can change it. You have to go by the teachings of the True Popes™. And the law of Moses says that Masturbation - the spilling of your seed, is not a mortal sin. You didn't get stoned for it. You did your penance and were unclean until evening i.e. the rest of the day. It doesn't break the bond you have with God as adultery might.

>>16268 Yeah I'm right here B) Seriously, though, absolutely. I think most men (especially those who aren't extremely online) are like that underneath, but there's a lot of pressure on people who want to be "normal" to (for example) support prostitution or pornography as acceptable even if they don't partake in it themselves. Obviously there are also a lot of coomers who genuinely do like those things. If you're looking for one specifically though, they probably hang around churches.

>>22790 >Do you have an orthodox church nearby? No, but many Russians who brought eastern-Baptism with them. I thought of visiting them from time to time. Know some nice people there. >>22778 >Was it a bake sale to help the poor? I think so, but I doubt a Church is the optimal ground to sale things. After all it should be considered to be holy, right? I think it is one more step towards desecration of sacred places. >>22791 That's nice to know, but as I said I worry of the desecration of the Church as a holy building and that would end in people losing their faith obviously.

>>22774 A church isn't a temple the only temple for Christians is the resurrection body of Jesus Christ. There are no references to a dedicated church building in the New Testament. Ekklesia which is translated as church in English meant a gathering or assembly in ancient Greek. A church is a body of believers. God isn't limited to the confines of houses made by human hands all creation was made for His glory.

>>22823 How dare they desecrate the oh so holy office building!

>>22831 Hallelujah! Pray be to our most merciful and holy God!

>>22791 this was satire i wrote it this post will be deleted

>>22707 Roman Catholicism: "You are doomed to Eternal Damnation unless your wife and daughter repent for their unbelief." Holy Scripture: Deuteronomy 24:16 “Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall children be put to death for their fathers; a person shall be put to death for his own sin." Ezekiel 18:20 "The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself."

"considered just walking away" Well you can't do that. It is sinful for a Christian to end a marriage unless the woman is an unbeliever and leaves or if she commits adultery then you can divorce her keeping in mind that we commit adultery against God all the time but he doesn't divorce us as long as we repent. Women are raised alongside men for 18+ years. There is according to society no such thing as gender roles. Women are totally destroyed by time they are of age. They are trained to be men, they are trained by every facet of life to be independent and if anything that men/husbands are dumb and stupid and should be mocked and have equal or in some cases less authority. At what point in all the worthless years spent in government indoctrination centres do women learn to be housewives, they used to have them but in most all cases they've removed such courses and options. Cooking and sewing and cleaning and baby-care and interior design is oppressive. Submitting and serving is gay, it's slavery, slay queen and strong independent woman who don't need no man are not memes they are the reality we live in. Likewise the reason Paul gives marriage advice is because clearly marriages weren't always what they should be even in his time. Submitting to your husband is not easy but does solve all issues assuming the husband is submitting to the Lord. Jesus is in the Father's hand, you're in Jesus' hand and your wife is in your hand. You need to dig in and say "this is how things ought to be and I have the Bible to support me." Even an unbelieving woman overtime will submit to this yes I have seen it. Know this and make it clear: Everything is your fault. If your wife is disobedient it is your fault. And make sure she knows it is your fault. Anything wrong with your wife is your fault. If your dog bites someone I don't blame the dog I blame the owner. You took this dog in you raised it and you don't have a leash for it because he doesn't like leashes well now he has bitten me what do you expect. You're not a Calvinist are you? Therefore you believe every person can obtain salvation and by extension I would say everyone can be a great Christian and any two people on this planet can get married and make it work perfectly. It's not about finding the "right person" that's modern "dating" "relationship advice" nonsense. You purchase your wife just as Jesus purchases us at a cost. You should expect much work to do when you purchase your wife along with the rewards. It's very frustrating that women don't submit. To get over this frustration first of all acknowledge we don't fully submit to God, your wife has been and continues to be brainwashed by a satanic society at every corner and also it is your fault if you haven't fixed her. Treat your wife as you want the Lord to treat you. I want the lord to be blunt and to chasten me. If you're in a relationship where "punishing your wife" is not even on the table then how can you say you're even married? If God can't punish me and if I get offended at the very idea then I have no relationship with him at all. And wives must submit to their husbands as unto the Lord in all things. But instead what we get are weak PUSSY (yes I said it) husbands who literally allow their wives to insult them in public constantly and indeed that's exactly what a wife will do when she has no authority over her, she'll bark like a dog all day and again: your fault. Does she belong to you or not? With all these things, if you believe in Biblical marriage you need to be telling your wife that constantly. There is no "oh I hope it happens." This is about a devotion to God. If you have a poor marraige you're going to have to answer for it on judgement day, it would be better for you to push biblical marraige and for her to leave you than for you to live a non-biblical marraige. In either case you cannot leave, so make it clear what you want and don't give her attention otherwise, give her love as is commanded but if she is fully going to reject true marraige then basically give her the hint that it's either that or nothing more from you. In a two way relationship someone needs to have veto power. If both the wife and husband have equal authority then you're going to fight and eventually pretty much every time it'll break apart eventually. It's logical someone has top authority and the Bible says you have all the authority but also have commandments and duties to fulfil to your wife since you also belong to her. Explain to your wife why she has to submit, why she can't "jokingly" insult you why she should encourage you and that God created woman to be the helper to man. Women are not independent. Submission is what every true christian husband complains about. And often women make it clear their issue is their husband isn't dominate to them though thanks to society are embarrassed to even consider it as that. There are some practical things you can do and things you can say, make sure you are always taking the lead and giving your wife love and for the love of the Lord husbands stop treating your wife as equal in marraige if you don't want that. Treat her almost like a child, she can't solve her issues, you have to do everything, you're taller than her for a reason: because you need to talk down to her as well as be the bigger man the better man and accept responsibility for all of her. I guarantee you can make your feminist wife wear a bonnet in public. Make sure you are in submission to God first (or else how do you expect her to submit to you) and blameless and loving and not bitter to her. Jesus says you can't cancel the marraige which means he's going to fix it if you let him. Be very Christ-like around her, so important.

>>22758 Well, my sin was not raising my children to be Catholic. But I wasn't raised catholic myself. By the time of my first communion, I had already tried to get my 13 year old daughter to go to catechism with me but ... well, Mom got to her first and convinced her that the Catholic Church hated her and that she was a lesbian. And this new father is a sede, and says the father who gave me communion is a fraud and I have to start all over. But he's so deep in the errors of Aquinas and puts Mary above Jesus the Christ... I'm not going to confess every thought of temptation and claim I'm repentant of them; they're temptations, NOT SINS. A sin is where you act to harm someone. I'm... giving up. The promised Church doesn't exist.

>>22760 >I'm... giving up. The promised Church doesn't exist. There's wheat and tares in every congregation. What do you think that parable was about? You probably won't find a congregation with 100% saved attendees. And with how many denominations are out there, do they all agree on every tiny point of doctrine? Does that mean they're not Christians? Did Peter and Paul ever have a disagreement on minor matters? There are millions around the world who worship Christ and trust in him alone for their salvation. Concluding "there is no ecclesia" is failing to see the forest for the trees. Change your definition of "church", instead of calling Christ a liar.

>>22760 You are only responsible for for your own sin, period. You are not responsible for what your wife and daughter do. Either Holy Scripture, the infallible Word of God, is correct, or the false traditions and Pharisaical legalisms of men are. Which is it?

>>22498 Pagan Japanese idols are part of the world that doesn't recognize Jesus Christ as the Son of God the Father. Shinto is false. Buddhism is false.

>>22476 >Is this hell? I used to wonder this but now my conviction is this: Satan opposed God so was ejected from heaven and cast down into the world. The followers of satan were ejected and cast down with him. We were his followers. Following satan is the original sin. We were deceived by him into craving forbidden knowledge and thereby attempting to set him above God. Satan rules this world and uses it to attack those who refuse to bow before him. Satan needs to keep his followers in check as they are his power against God. God wants all to come back to Him. He gave us this life both as a trial and as a chance of redemption. Satan accuses all our sins before God as 'proof' that he is winning yet he lies and distorts the truth of our sin, he is the father of lies. When Jesus came he experienced what man experiences and so exposed the lies of satan, therefore Jesus can intercede for us in mercy and truth. God is patient and will not destroy the world until His purpose is fulfilled. That purpose is to find every soul who repents of original sin and seeks redemption through Jesus Christ.

>>22633 Immaculately based

>>22635 As the Eastern Church says, if the Mother of Jesus Christ was Immaculate, then Christ was not true man and the sacrifice of the Lamb of God was not a proper sacrifice to save us. Mary worship didn't start as an accepted heresy until the late 19th century.

I watched one too many police videos on YouTube. One too many being the cop who arrested the Nurse who refused to break the law, and the wicked cops that stood up for his assault and battery and then fooled the people by firing and quietly rehiring him. People are wicked. It is true that no one deserves heaven but this will try the souls of all who are faithful. pray for the people of Salt Lake to turn from their evil ways.

>>22728 God will destroy you.

>>22728 >one twisted verse The words of the Lord in the divinely inspired Bible are not "Twisted". We may not understand, but they Lord did not deceive us. Nor did I "twist" it. It was a cut and paste from Bible Gateway.

>>22730 >>22730 >God will destroy you Very few go to heaven. >>22732 >You dismiss God, His laws and commandments, and His Word. All you do is posturing and clever word games and attack people who stand for God. I am sickened by you. The sick need God to minister to them. Yes, many people have fallen to the AntiChrist's twisting of the word of God. This board is an opportunity to do that. I want to point out every word of the Gospel is true, even if we don't understand it. But denying the plain words of Jesus Christ is of the AntiChrist. I hope to find someone who will give a clue to me where the promised Church is, as things look pretty grim. >>22738 >bots fuck off Because of the Overboard, I suspect, we get this. That's how bad it really is.
