Christian theology thread for Christians - Deus homo factus est naturam erante, mundus renovatus est a Christo regnante

[Rendang]

I think the white man is just historically good at separating white-skinned races that give them a supposedly bad reputation, from (decreasingly white) Irish, Jews, West/East Slavs, Spanish, South Slav, Gypsy, and Italian. They all have distinct cultures, and can be argued to not be white because of that.

Unfortunately, African-Americans sadly lack that heritage, deteriorating from decades of detachment, and had to develop a culture around being black. It's why some cherry-pick and galvanize cultural aspects from the all over the African continent, despite many of these states despising each other-past and present; they see race as the biggest contributing factor to success, not the environment.

I don't see an easy solution to this dilemma; while faith contributes to culture strongly, cultural achievements, ones that all humankind can enjoy, whether it'd be monuments, epics, plays, or food, are crucial to a developed culture. Unfortunately, beyond a select few (Louisiana Creole), I do not those universal traditions in African Americans. Barbecue was initially invented by Africans slaves, but it's now a symbol of the South. Blues was once popular in AA communities, but fell out of fashion. There's no legendary reverence to other aspects beyond the slavery and the oppression, and that continues the viscous, infantile cycle.

I do find it funny that you folks like to call natural ingroup preference idolatrous while worshipping the objectively false god of secular humanism.

Preferring your in-group is not idolatry, or at least to an extent. In practice it pretty much always turns into idolatry. Chud the builder is proof enough of this so let’s not pretend it’s not. If you typically hang around white people (nothing wrong with this, and this will be the case if you live in a mostly white area anyway) BUT then you choose to treat non-whites like garbage simply for that reason, you are committing idolatry. Idolatry is not merely worship in a literal sense, it’s putting whatever thing you love more over what God commands.

Oh no, a sinful human is sinning, according to his chosen false identity that comes in patterns. Totally unique to black people. All the other people are the saints with no cultural aggressive patterns and false identities they ruin themselves through.

This is the main thing to note. White people are not this squeaky clean group. We are affected by the fall as much as blacks, Asians, Arabs, Jews, or anyone else. This is directed towards those who practice racial idolatry. If all non-whites disappeared, there would just be other problems that would occur and already do occur. We are not gods. We are as sinful as anyone else and I’m sick and tired of this quite frankly demonic doctrine I have seen many spout today on this site. Keep in mind, this does NOT mean that we don’t deserve a culture, but the way some talk about these other groups while still thinking that’s perfectly Christian is insane.

Anyway, I’m kinda ranting but I’ve gotten profile comments and replied to a lot of people on this issue recently so I’m just frustrated.

Our white nigger friend is flailing at the wind, claiming people ITT things we aren't, or that we as theology nerds don't understand theology or the history of Christianity/Christian + western philosophy? Very bizarre stuff.

This is unironically a product of wokeism that he criticizes: education systems, especially those in favor of leftism, are known to teach children to respond to trigger words. I can't remember what exactly causes it/how it is implemented, but basically it also has something to do with the way children are taught to read these days (making them less literate as well). In the end we have a problem of people who respond to random words like bots, without proper text analysis and abstract idea that the other person is speaking to you as an individual, and not a caricature character. People are failing Turing's test and I'm afraid it's by design.

I'll give it to the Gnostic fella from before, I think he does have the love of God in his heart. He just believes complete nonsense. His rant would make an excellent fantasy novel with the names filed off and replaced.

For all of my meme-ing here, I'm actually worried something might have happened to him, considering he has disappeared abruptly a month ago and never posted anything since. This level of delusion is no joke, reminds me of what my possessed (without PL'ing, I'm 101% sure about that) relative would talk about right before doing something that may end up real bad if left unattended. I'm hoping he got the help he needed, and not just psychiatric but spiritual as well. It sends chills down my spite to imagine what he might have experienced while posting all that stuff.

Blues was once popular in AA communities, but fell out of fashion.

Truly fallen world. Something needs to be done about this.

Spoiler

This is complete off topic at this point but I just couldn't have posted that gif without also posting this.

Gnosticism is a pretty terrifying rabbit hole. You’ll feel so much despair if you ever fall for it. I say that because I have experience with it. Even if it’s a bit funny to get a Schizo post, you also have to feel a bit bad because these people genuinely believe it and that’s disturbing.

I don't mind interacting with interlocuters. It's like exercising your faith + knowledge similar to how you would a muscle group at the gym.

the white race is real, and the irish, slavs, spanish, and italians are all white and have historically been considered white. the jews (the german ones) is more complicated. We can find this in IQ level, haplogroupings and genetic clusters, self identification, etc
this video is a bit older but still remains true
and here is a good book on the topic of race and theology

The other thing is, if you truly want to help the white race flourish, you'd be rather natalist with white women, and you'd feed, shelter, clothe, and take in the whites in need. At most, the only thing these people do is mention it offhand or make a xeet or two about a bad thing happening to a white person, then do nothing.

https://www.brepols.net/series/cfm - if only schizos became Manichaean instead of Gnostic

The religion of Mani (c. 216–c. 276 CE) was a missionary religion par excellence. Manichaean texts have been found in Egypt in Coptic, Greek and Syriac, and in N. Africa in Latin and in sites along the Ancient Silk Road in Middle Persian, Parthian, Sogdian, Bactrian, Tocharian B, Chinese and Uighur (Old Turkish) as well as in substantial citations in a wide range of Arabic writings. The project aims to publish not only genuine Manichaean texts but also principal witnesses of the religion from Islamic and Christian (Patristic) sources and the voluminous writings of Saint Augustine on the religion of which he was a member for nine years will form a substantial part of the series. Each volume of the text-series contains introduction, critical text, translation (in English, French or German), commentary and extensive word indices. The constituent series are defined by language or region. These series will make available hitherto diversely published material for consultation by historians of religion, theologians, ancient and medieval historians and orientalists.

That's too much work. I'd rather LARP as a Crusaderbro and post that Christ is King on an online gossip forum instead of doing anything meaningful to actually help white people.

Idolatry is not merely worship in a literal sense, it’s putting whatever thing you love more over what God commands.

CS Lewis said this about the sin of gluttony in "Screwtape Letters"--we think of it as just making a pig of ourselves-- but he describes it as all the various obsessions over food: how much, how little, what kind, how good, how its served, too hot, too cold, just right?
Are these the right place settings, the best china and serving the courses in order, if not, does that "ruin" the meal?
(you can tell he was British talking like that lol)

He believed this was all just exhibiting "gluttony" in various ways.

You could say "food idolatry" and probably be more exact.

I do note that some people cite them falling out with Christianity due to how they were treated by their religious parents. It makes them disillusioned with how they see God not doing anything to help them or the world.

How should we respond to those who have fallen out with God due to that?

I agree we should deal with this with love. However, I believe it is wise to remember. Some will use this reasoning as a way to berate Christians. It's a case-by-case basis. Some are genuine. They have wounds from previous experiences. But some don't and they will use this reasoning to berate us. It is only the wisdom of God. That we can avoid causing more harm. To those who are genuine. Yet also not a while those who are not genuine to berate us. But this is just my opinion. God bless

I have a question. Does anyone know why the site has Bible verses at the bottom? Is it just a troll or what? I mean don't get me wrong. I like that they're there. I'm just curious on why.

 

[CryptoHermit]

Which book publishers for Christian writing do people recommend. It's crazy how fragmented it all is. You would think the Vatican would have every possible Saint's writings available but I have to keep looking for other publishers, let alone the more mystic writing by Cardinals like Balthasar.

 

[Mystery Spy]

Someone in real life told me that demonic possessions were not a thing in the modern age.

But there's one thing Null, owner of this site that shook me to the core. That trans people behave exactly like how the bible describes demonic possession. Including self mutilation, and using plurals such as "They" like Legion did to refer to themselves.

They even literally, and willingly take the names of demons such as "Lilith".

I know Null is likely not a christian, but it's still a valid point. Perhaps they never went away. They just became more subtle.

Jersh is religious, he quoted Romans 6:23 when Byuu tried to bribe him to take down his thread.

"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist".

Modernists and beyond have focused merely on materialism and hyper rationality, forgetting things that cannot be measured can still exist. I had a similar discussion with a former coworker years back, and he pretty much called it "mental health", but that alone doesn't cover it.
