Why does anyone take this Alexandrian priest cult seriously?

They want Catholics to be afraid of the Bible because if they read it and believe it, they'll stop being Catholic since the Bible contradicts their traditions of man on almost every page.

>>17809236
Unironically based. You chuds will never understand that the entire purpose of the Hebrew Bible was to control the Jews through a law code framed in a narrative, and that Catholic doctrine and traditions, separate from the Bible but contingent on it, is to control the goyim–I mean the gentiles. It's all about social engineering and inclining people towards right action.

I'd rather have many denominations where the truth could still be found, than many gods you pray to like your "Queen of Heaven" and the "Patron Saints" where the truth has been suppressed violently historically and still suppressed today.

There's no salvation in the Roman Catholic Church. Why don't you just read the Bible? Why are you such a scared little bitch? It's almost like you know almost every page of the New Testament rebukes everything your cult teaches.

See, this is why Catholics basically view their church as their god. They even refer to it as the "One Holy..." but the only One Holy is God Almighty. You see, Biblical doctrine and Biblical salvation gives all the glory to God; man's traditions like Roman Catholicism want to steal glory from God for themselves.

>>17809231 (OP)
if you're afraid of the bible that actually means you're under grace and god is drawing you into him. fear of the lord is the beginning of all wisdom or something. some people misinterpret the fear of god as a hatred of christians and lash out at them, which is the incorrect response, you need to do the exact opposite and run straight towards the church if you realize this is happening.

There was even a time in history when people would line up to kiss the pope's big toe.

Revelation 22:8-9
>[8] And I John saw these things, and heard [them]. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
>[9] Then saith he unto me, See [thou do it] not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

Completely disagree. God is not the author of confusion. You're probably not even using God's Word though, but some Catholic/Jesuit-published modern perversion from corrupted manuscripts.

>you need to do the exact opposite and run straight towards the church
I see why you think you need "the church" because you're obviously not saved and not indwelt/sealed with the Spirit of God.

The Bible says we have no need that any should teach us if we're saved.
>I. John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
>St. John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Not nearly to the extent and most protestant religions don't claim only they have the way to salvation, that's what cults like JWs teach.

But not collated or popularly decided on until later. Before then the Shepherd of Hermas and others were circulating alongside what we know today. Not to mention that there were heresies even then that needed to be routed out thanks to an incomplete scripture.

And then you protestants ripped out 7 books you didn't like. Hell, Luther almost ripped out James because it said faith without works is dead.

Protestantism is anti-intellectualism.

1. Only the Pope is infallible and only when speaking ex-cathedra. Not a class.

2. There are tons of catholic biblcial scholars and apologists outside the hierarchy of the church like Scott Hahn.

4. Not true.

7. Oh no, hierarchy! grow up.

8. Oh no, organization! Can't have that, gotta be distributed across a thousand denominations.

>>17809454
>But not collated
Why does this matter?
>popularly decided on
Men do not "decide on" scripture, scripture is those books which God has breathed out and nothing more. But the people of God have recognized scripture since before the coming of the Lord.
>Before then the Shepherd of Hermas and others were circulating alongside what we know today
This is also irrelevant, as if a book being popular and recommended made it the equal of scripture.
>Not to mention that there were heresies even then that needed to be routed out thanks to an incomplete scripture.
The heresies which rose, which were rising before the closure of the canon, did not rise due to incomplete canon. They were not honestly mistaken based on genuine ignorance of divine revelation, they were in active rebellion against the faith God had revealed in Christ.
>And then you protestants ripped out 7 books you didn't like
This is anti-historical fanfiction, as has been said so many times, the status of those books was disputed for millennia (most famously between Augustine and Jerome). In the 16th century a consensus formed amongst the true believers on account of their greater learning and wisdom at that time, and Rome responded by producing a dogmatic list of canon (for the first time ever, I add) which included the apocryphal books. You've turned it on its head, the only reason you are committed to those books is in reaction to the Reformation.

>>17809476
The point was the Shepherd of Hermas was believed to BE scripture. The final books on what were and were not god breathed was decided by Council.

What an absurd way to look at human freewill.

Monasticism arose from the hermit tradition already existing in Judaism at the time. Benedict's rule was entirely novel and makes no reference to eastern anything. And how is it a "CORRUPTION"? You throw that word around but monasticism is a lay practice taken up out fo choice. NO ONE claims that it is divinely commanded or inspired.

>faith without works is dead.
Plus you don't even understand what "faith without works" means probably since you're not even saved, you're not a believer, you believe and trust in your works, not in God. It's either by grace or works, not both to be saved. You want to boast of your many wonderful works.

You're such a fool. You can't even think for yourself, you're just parroting what your priest told you to believe and he's just parroting what his bishop told him to believe since it's an NPC religion for unthinking blind fools.

>>17809485
>The point was the Shepherd of Hermas was believed to BE scripture.
Universally? No. Addition of books to the New Testament was relegated to the home regions of those books and only for a short time. The Shepherd was never accepted outside of the northwestern Mediterranean.
>The final books on what were and were not god breathed was decided by Council.
Which one? Trent? Historically, this is simple mythology, it did not happen aside from the glaring theological issue. If a book is inspired by God, it is so at its writing by definition, for by "inspired" we mean God used the author to deliver His very words to His people. Therefore, those books which are inspired were inspired from the very moment of its writing, and constitutes canon scripture by sole virtue of its inspiration. And any man or group of men which drafts a list of canon which is distinct from the list of books which were inspired by God is merely in error. Nor does the authority of God's word in any way depend on the authority of men (which is sacrilegious unbelief), but it is to be received and believed because it is the word of God.
>What an absurd way to look at human freewill.
Free will? No, slavery to sin.
>Monasticism arose from the hermit tradition already existing in Judaism at the time
Monasticism arose from eastern monasticism which is why it began in the east and shared the same values. There are literally monastic tales like Barlaam and Josaphat which were lifted directly from Buddhism.
>And how is it a "CORRUPTION"?
Because it is a diversion of Christianity away from its divine source. Monkery is contrary to the command of Christ and compromises His gospel and kingdom.

>>17809512

So we have a local council (which did not have jurisdiction over the whole Church), which is questionable if it even produced a list of canon, and which was not cited as some defining authority on the canon in subsequent centuries. And even if it had defined a canon, it would not be the first time such a thing was done.
In other words, your claim did not happen historically. This is an exercise in myth making

You don't need a doctorate to know the New Testament refutes Catholicism on almost every page. You just have to stop drinking the kool aid from the catholic cult punch bowl. You don't even have to be saved to see how much Catholic doctrine deviates from the Bible, you just have to be honest with yourself and actually seek the truth (not seek to defend your cult).

Ok, you're an idiot. Shut your mouth and act like a man, brother. There is an ocean of difference between obeying the biblical command to adorn the gospel and what you described. I expressly told you it was not to be "nice" like the world reckons, but to act like a Christian for Christ's sake. The unbelievers' feelings are worthless and immaterial, it isn't about not hurting their feelings, it's about the fact that by unchristlike harshness you are throwing mud onto the very light you preach, obfuscating the gospel to those who would have ears to hear and giving an excuse to those who would reject it. And if you do preach the truth without compromise and in Christian love, and they reject it, then that is to their greater judgement for they had no mud to cover their eyes with.

Yeah he calls the Canaanite woman a dog, very Roman considering the word Canaan sounds like the Latin word for Canine. Jesus was a blonde haired Roman chad dogging on shemcels lmfao

We're done here. Bye bye.

Preach the truth and you have all the little false prophets and their worldly faggot friends biting at your ankles. They're more offended by you insulting devils and false prophets sending people to hell with the false religion they promote than these devils being and false prophets insulted as Jesus insulted them.

Hilarious how Cat-licks are such massive SJWs when they'd literally go around torturing people to death for not bowing to the papacy, now they're bigger SJWs than the average blue-haired atheist.

>b-but you said my trigger word!
>how dare you insult people who hate the Lord with an insult that was coined to insult people who hate the Lord
If you throw a rock at a pack of dogs, the only one that yelps is the one you hit. Stop hating Christ of the Bible and you won't get offended by that term. Simple as.

Still waiting for the Catholic losers to respond to the dozens of points I made with an actual argument, they can't do it; because Catholicism departed from the faith, they don't contend for the faith.

>>17809630
Extremely reddit-tier post too. Be less of an effeminate faggot, but that's what a Mary-simping cult like Catholicism does, make effeminate men.

Now there is no duty to be married, as if a man has sinned in failing to acquire a wife, but this is the normative and intended lifestyle for everyone, as the Lord said "it is not good for the man to be alone", and "a man shall depart from father and mother and cleave unto his wife, and they shall be two no longer but one flesh".
>1 Corinthians 7
This was explicitly based on the extraordinary circumstances of the church of Corinth (verse 26) and is not normative for the Church. The passage is a refutation of the Corinthians' assertion that it is good that men should not marry, and an encouragement for those who are not to marry that they should take the opportunity to dedicate themselves all the more to the Lord.
>Matthew 19
The sentiment of the Lord in this verse is much the same as Paul's above, but note how He does not mention any who refuse marriage for sake of their own personal righteousness (as if there was something impure about marriage as the monks have it) but for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Note that there is no change in the teaching of marriage in this passage, for if you go and check the law, Moses did not permit them to put away their wives for any reason beside sexual immorality either. The "hardness of your heart" then is the hardness of the heart which acts sexually immorally.

>>17809627
I'm not sure if this is a false flag. It's a disgrace in any event

>>17809712
How can you tell the difference between "personal righteousness" and the kingdom of heaven?

>>17809720
For one thing the kingdom of heaven is more than you.

>uhh sorry, you can only read the Bible under the supervision of a priest, otherwise you might interpret it wrong and accidentally condemn yourself with heresy!

I'm not sure if this is hyperbole or not.

>>17809756
I think the best difference between Catholicism and Orthodoxy is this. The Apostolic Decree was issued by James, Peter, Paul, and the rest of the bishops as a set of starter rules from the Old Testament for converts to follow as they prepared to enter the Church. The Orthodox still follow it, the Catholics do not.

>>17809724
I still don't see how monasticism isn't in service of the kingdom of heaven

>>17809775
That wouldn't be being a super Christian (which isn't a thing in the bible) who's really really righteous and live a more righteous live than all those plebs outside the monastery (which isn't true either), it would be devoting your attention to serving the body of Christ.

>>17809780

I look at this person and I see a dying breed. His ideology is killing his own race. His son may have trooned out. His daughter may have gotten a 4 year degree and now views herself above all men. Maybe this all didn't happen to him, but it happened to men just like him.

BE AFRIAD
BE AFRAID
FEAR
YOU MUST BE AFRAID AND THE ONLY WAY TO NOT BE AFRAID IS TO DO EXACTLY AS I TELL YOU

Romans turned to Christianity because the church offered the hope of something more than the miserable existence they were in, and because it offered civil services as the Roman state or institutions did so less and less. It didn't succeed because of someone screeching you'll burn in hellfire for worshipping a carven idol.

Sounds more like fucking Islam than Christianity to me. Except even Islam gave some benefits and carrot, they just offer the stick and wonder why others aren't self loathing masochists like them

>>17809231 (OP)
>le book
it is literally meant for atheists and about atheists.
>anons capitulating everywhere in the thread about it
the literal doubt and fear is so loud and clear. There is no need to explain this because there is nothing to explain. The Catholic church is simply a witness. The level and degree of incomplete history records will always leave gaps, and, as witness and what IS recorded, still leaves God as the ultimate judge - not petty anons that pout and have 'mah feels' about it, and certainly not their scrupulosity. Only good things come from God, hence leaving your bias as your own judgments hefted back onto yourselves. Always seek judgement, just re-read this thread and your posts and you'll find enough.

>>17809756
funny how the catholics ended up being right

>>17810278
No its always been a fear based death cult

The spread is not organic

Christian Rome literally killed and confiscated your property if you didn't convert from paganism (Jews are allowed to keep their religion though)

Christian Europe will torture you for even more nonsensical shit

The title of the video is "Where Do I Start with the Bible?" and the reason the thumbnail says "Afraid of the Bible? You should be" is that you SHOULD feel intimidated by the power of God and His word, that that feeling is normal, and how that should nonetheless not prevent you from opening the Bible and reading it.
