Show in the Bible where this matters.

Show in Jesus's teachings where the opposite is not taught.

Do Christians even know what Christianity is these days, or is it up to everyone else now to teach them the ways of Christ?

[-] CosmicTurtle@lemmy.world 42 points 7 months ago

Christians like the one that OP posted don't practice Christianity.

They practice "you believe what I tell you/I believe what I've been told to believe"

You could read Jesus' teachings to them, verbatim, and they'd think it was an Obama campaign speech.

Blessed are those who pull themselves up by the bootstraps.

Yes they do practice Christianity and I'm tired of Christians constantly shirking responsibility by suggesting that Christians can't be bad people, or that problematic Christians aren't a part of their group. Even Jesus said you all suck.

[-] Jaysyn@kbin.social 11 points 7 months ago

No, they don't.

[-] Red_October@lemmy.world 56 points 7 months ago

Does that mean non-Christian mothers should be allowed to get abortions, and only the Churchers should be forbidden?

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago

Heeeeey, compromise. I’m for it!

Unfortunately I already know their answer.

“We want to have the opportunity to bring those babies to the light. We can’t save their souls from eternal hellfire if they never have a chance to be born and know Christ.”

And then my reply would be…

“But like, doesn’t that default send them to heaven and make the job easier? I mean, if you actually want to save their souls maybe you should be for abortion as it is a guarantee.”

I don’t know what they’d say next, but I’m sure they wouldn’t budge.

[-] Seleni@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

They believe that you don’t go to heaven unless you’re baptized, so those aborted babies are going to hell with all the other unborn.

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Ehhh, some of them believe that. Most of the Christians I grew up around (Pentecostal) believed that babies just go on to heaven.

Oooh baby baby it’s a wild world.

[-] VirtualOdour@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

Yeah they all said they went to purgatory at one point, I can't remember how long for but the idea was they burn until they suffered like Jesus and can go to heaven

Competently healthy and sane belief system.

[-] aniki@lemm.ee 50 points 7 months ago

Imagine the absolutely batshit retarded nonsense that kicks around in the heads of these boring, soulless fucking morons. This is the stuff that gets past whatever social filter the pond scum parents endowed on their precious little shitstains.

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 24 points 7 months ago

They say most people present their best selves on social media. He must be a real piece of shit, in person.

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 42 points 7 months ago

It's crazy that no matter who you are, where you're born, or what religion you're born into.... You're always born into the one true religion.

What a blessing that is.

[-] Jorgelino@lemmy.ml 42 points 7 months ago

"This is real, and it really matters"

Lmaoo, that sounds so childish.

[-] Wirrvogel@feddit.de 32 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14

This pastor: "No, only my children, not these others."

There are days I wish all that religious stuff would be real so I could be sure he goes to hell and on his way Jesus slaps him in his face. Once for every evil tweet, no twice at least.

[-] jkrtn@lemmy.ml 6 points 7 months ago

Unfortunately, if the "treat everyone with respect and dignity" Jesus were real there would still be no hell to go to.

[-] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 26 points 7 months ago

This is because my children are part of a religion which was created roughly 2000 years ago, 4000 years after its adherents believe this planet was created. Therefore, when the ancestors I believe I had before the creation of Christianity got to Heaven, God just went "psyche, too early dick head" and condemned them to purgatory for no good fucking reason.

[-] VirtualOdour@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 months ago

God didn't give the ten commandments until the jews had left Egypt, that's over s thousand years where you could covet your neighbour's ass as much as you like.

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Didn’t you know that Jesus went to hell and saved some of them? Like, “bruh, I’m sorry you had to deal with this shit. We good then? Ok, follow me.”

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

ah yes the book of Rambo

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 25 points 7 months ago

Wow this guy is a Christian pastor with 46k followers on X. I was gonna say it's not even worth responding to but kinda is if he's an actual faith leader.

He should do some research into what the Apostle Paul thought about converting non-Christians. Or heck, contemplate a famous example of a Jew who was holy from conception. That guy later got crucified but he was probably not lesser-than due to the circumstances of his birth.

[-] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 19 points 7 months ago

I think part of the problem is that the Bible is mostly a book of analogy, and analogies require historical and social context to be meaningful.

The vast majority of Christians barely know their home country's history, let alone the history of the Levant from 2k years ago.

So when they hear a story about the good Samaritan, they don't understand the context. To them it just means good people go to heaven. In reality Samaritans were thought to be heretical by the Jews, who often destroyed their temples.

So they miss the underlying point, that even if you are from a heretical evil cult, you are more likely to go to heaven if you are good in practice when compared to a man of the cloth who does not practice what they preach.

Ur mom is not biblical…

She do be a blessing though!

I’m sorry. I’m just an idiot and I honestly can’t help myself.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 7 months ago

Oh shit. That explains why God's plan is so messed up. He lost the plot when Methuselah beat the shit out of him and demanded to be blessed.

[-] Fester@lemm.ee 19 points 7 months ago

Literally the opposite of what the fucking Bible says but ok Brian.

[-] Jaysyn@kbin.social 18 points 7 months ago

Twitter is for christofascists.

[-] naught@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

And normies! I can't get some friends off it 😔

[-] undercrust@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 months ago

Might want to take a closer look at why they want to be there. Sitting at a table for 10 with 9 christofacists and all that...

[-] Smallwater@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago

That just sounds like racism with extra steps

[-] undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago

I have holes too, sucker.

This just feels evil to me. How can people have such vile certainty.

[-] Granite@kbin.social 9 points 7 months ago

I wonder how he feels about other religions saying that about his.

[-] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 7 months ago

Well Brian, Mama’s wrong again.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 6 points 7 months ago

Tell me you’ve never read the Bible without telling me you’ve never read the Bible.

[-] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

This guy is a pastor... ! Delusional but still a guy people listen to

[-] Cyberflunk@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

If he died in a bed fire, which I hope he does, that's an act of his god, right?

[-] Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Wonder when we’ll get around to classifying religion as a mental illness?

[-] DarkenLM@kbin.social 6 points 7 months ago

Given how things are moving, probably on St Never's day.
