>>17789748>I’ve started calling them the “Church of /pol/“ because that’s the only place you’ll find “Christians” that believe what they do.Most Orthodox Christians, some Protestants and many Catholics believe what I do. Your entire argument is essentially:
>from my anecdotal experience, all Christians believe in dispensationalism Then when I say many don't, and I present you with what The Fathers of the Church wrote, you'll write it off, say it's "schizo babble" because you don't know anything about the subject, and don't wish to know. Interacting with you beyond that point is pointless, as you are incapable of having a good faith discussion. You're like many /pol/acks I've spoken with on the subject.
>On numerous occasions, I’ve requested that they record themselves espousing their true beliefs in person in their local church on Sunday (any church) and see how long they’d make it before they get kicked out. Not one of them has taken me up on the offer.Yes, let me just roll up to the non-denominational megachurch in a strip mall that passes out Cranberry Grape Juice for "communion" and try and talk about Apostolic Succession, or that The Church is Israel, that we don't have any obligation to the state created by the British Empire in 1948. You're right, it wouldn't go well. It's not the own you think it is, anyone who knows anything about Christianity would know that.
>They also don’t think the practical reality of how Christianity actually operates in the world (with their 4 billion adherents) actually matters.It does matter, and it's a problem. Again, many peoples problem is with the corruption of The Church, not The Church itself.
