This is why I believe in Jesus

Which episode?

Because the Bible doesn’t mention water Baptism as being a strict requirement for salvation. Such as the thief on the cross. Catholics also hold other unbiblical beliefs such as purgatory, indulgences, masses for the dead, papal infallibility, etc

Another employee, you say? 🦒

Within our lifetimes, God reveals Himself to us. It’s the following of the Holy Spirit which leads us to Jesus. However, it’s next to impossible these days for the vast majority of the world’s population to not hear about Jesus. God knows everyone’s hearts. I think this video explains it well. However, basically everyone who has access to the comment I made and this forum has access to the Gospel. It is very much a free offering. It’s also worth realising that missionary work is also important, and there’s a reason why I want people to have another chance to hear about Jesus

Difference is luxury houses cost money, Jesus does not

Good thing the Catholics are wrong, then

Dream on

We’re not going to die from climate change. Screw up the environment? Sure. But humans have the capability to literally live in space, on the moon, and soon enough, mars.

Apparently it actually can, which is why news reports are careful about it and it shouldn’t happen in TV soaps or fictional dramas often

They’re mostly toffs. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a conservative movement to make climate change protesters look bad

I think they’ve scaled back on it

For the sake of semantics, the Church of England was created in 597, what Henry VIII did was excommunicate the Bishop of Rome / Pope over a divorce, thus joining the Reformation movement, albeit not for good reason.

I think it depends on the Anglican denomination. The Church of Ireland still likes to keep itself distinct from Roman Catholicism in many ways, but this is getting ahead of the conversation.

Give an answer to how interpreting the Bible as part literal and part figurative is different from how a Baptist would.

So how’s that different from protestantism, except from a church existing to tell you which is which?

Is this hyperbole or literally true?

Me when I make things up

Part 1, Section 1, Chapter 2, Article 3 Paragraph 107 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches

The inspired books teach the truth. “Since therefore all that the inspired authors or sacred writers affirm should be regarded as affirmed by the Holy Spirit, we must acknowledge that the books of Scripture firmly, faithfully, and without error teach that truth which God, for the sake of our salvation, wished to see confided to the Sacred Scriptures.”

And 116 further reinforces there is a literal interpretation of scripture that exists. If someone thinks the Bible is simply allegorical then they aren’t a Catholic at all, nevermind Christian

The offer is for everyone, people choose whether or not to take Him up on it

If God only accepts certain people, then why did He die for everybody?

You forgot the bit where it was actually satan who ruined his life 😒

I like the optical ones as it works with wet hands
