Christian Q n A thread

[Aladin]

In a sense yes because god had an overall reason a purpose that humans will grow into our faith not just be magically spawned with it.

As I said Eve is a prototype for what all humans will become life during the eschaton but that’s about it.

So yes god can do anything he wants even what you said but god works in mysterious ways and he only did so with Mary for salvific purpose as an example the same with when Jesus did the transfiguration to the apostles and showed himself in all his glory along with Moses and Elijah to the apostles.

You see everything god does has a deeper reason and purpose that’s why you ought not ever question his divine will he’s so wise it’s crazy glory to god in the highest @iblamexyz

Why is asking questions bad? Does God want us to be ignorant?

Hebrews 11:1 and 1 Peter 3:15 says we must be able to give explanations for why we belive and that god loves those who search for truth. So no not at alll what was saying


However what I was getting at is that we mustn’t act like WE know better than god (hubris) and that we could do things “better” or that he’s “wrong”. As I said God had a plan and Mary is an example an prototype if you will of HOW ALL HUMANS will be during the Eschaton that’s why we call her the new “Eve” the new “Ark” for through her we are born anew as a new being in our Lord Jesus Christ as Christians now freed from death and captivity from the enemy.

This is recapitulation, Jesus and Mary both corrected what went wrong with Adam and Eve which ruined our species. Nothing more nothing less and yes this is also who we use phrases such as “Mary is the salvation of the human race” on surface this sounds idolatrous but once you understand we are referring to her role within the salvation. Plan of God as the one that CONCEEDED her human will and body for God to use her flesh as his vessel to walk amount us then you begin to see her miraculous role.

Perhaps but don’t you want to believe in exactly what the apostles believed in and taught? You say your Christian and I don’t doubt your faith but I doubt your doctrine your discipline, your ideas of the religion.

Orthodoxy is the original church the church that Jesus left with the apostles the one in acts 15. The Orthodox Church is the church that Ignatus and Polycarp followed (Disciples of Apostle John)

Why wouldn’t you want to follow what they believed in? Why follow nonsense that appeared by a random adulterous Roman Catholic Monk (Martin Luther) 500 years ago?

It's easier for me to just be protestant like the rest of my city .I don't even know if there is a orthodox church where I live and if im not like most protestants I think im still fine if you know what I mean

I get what you mean brother. I personally arent that fucked with it my family are all protties as well but when it comes to the truth I advise not to skimp out on it tbh. I mean once again it’s fine having faith but as I said this is about the FULLNESS off that faith in our Lord Jesus Christ but ultimately it’s all your choice and yes the likelihood of going to heaven his higher if your in the fullness of truth than if your Protestant due to many of them having things that contradict our faith for example evangelicals don’t have Eucharist (blood and flesh of Christ) when we can say in the Bible John. 6 makes it very clear that it is truly his body you eat. Or Pentecostals dancing and jumping around like monkeys in church something that Jesus never allowed or worshipped like as worship was all done Liturgically and not with a rock concert band.

As I said I don’t doubt these people’s faith but god has destroyed people for less just look up what he did to Nehab and Abengu (Levi’s sons) in Leviticus 9-11 for offering profane sacrifice to God. How is what Protestants do any different?

But yeah man just google Eastern Orthodox churches in your location if there’s one in your vicinity go there once give it a try that’s what I did as I said my families all Protestant like you. But as I said we are all on our journey may god aid you on yours

So it’s better for some humans to end up in hell than for all to be saved?

 

[PrinceLuenLeoncur]

It’s better for all humans to have the choice to follow gods divine will and be with him forever and for some to choose to not follow his based on their own personal desires which god will say “May YOUR will be done” then they will be damned by their own choice which is what hell is anyways. Hell isn’t a place god sends you, hell is the state of existence you chose to be in based on how you chose to love God
