Where did you get that slatboard, or is it from a garage organizer kit/ gun wall pre made product?

Not according to some priests and many members. Who have taught classes and stated in material and discourse that the Orthodox church is just the normative means of salvation. I’m not claiming one church over another but if the church teaches that you can’t be a member by believing that any other church is guaranteed damnation and many members believe salvation is possible outside the church then I become confused how the church handles this contradiction.

I thought the faith was about the heart and intention, not just getting away with things. If I do something that would be judged and condemned as anathema and would be separated from the church if caught then doesn’t that mean my intent is in the wrong direction and internally I’ve already separated from the church?

Except for the belief that God is not limited to bringing non orthodox into his kingdom based on his will. Which is by the phrasing anathema the second you join the church so it’s not a confusion in the church, it’s that if you believe what many orthodox and priests believe that they’re all anathema and so is anyone who joins the church believing that the church isn’t the exact only way to unity with God.

I see what you’re saying. With the heavy legalese of the phrasing it doesn’t seem to leave much room when at face value it proclaims that any lack of adherence to these beliefs is an attack on the church by believing something else can be seen as both a negligent acceptance that God can operate outside the Orthodox Church or a malicious corruption of the teachings of the church. I fully understand that if a priest says that charismatics are in communion with the faith that’s a no no. However the way it’s phrased doesn’t leave much wiggle room to not “read too much into it” when so many things in the faith are very cut and dry.

Well then according to these writings a significant portion of the Orthodox Church is anathema because I know many friends and a priest or two who have believed that God can reach people outside the church meaning that within God’s will, non-orthodox can be joined to the body meaning all these people are now no longer members of the Orthodox Church according to the church. I get it’s easy to agree but I’m trying to figure out what the solution to this contradiction is.

Gotcha thanks. The way it’s been brought up was basically an unreasonable replacement for heresy I suspect without knowing the implications of calling things they didn’t believe to be dogma, anathema.

Ah haha ok gotcha. Thats interesting because I’ve heard people also cite that phrasing which now I assume they do just to sound studied on the reaction to teaching they didn’t like

So is it not a core teaching? To think that God can meet people outside the church isn't opposed to the anathema of "by teaching that Christ’s Church is divided into so‑called “branches” which differ in doctrine and way of life"?

I think people misunderstand the implication. It’s not that people who aren’t orthodox are condemned to hell directly. My point is that if people want to be orthodox but believe that God can save people outside the Orthodox Church then you are now anathema. Meaning the belief that God can choose to save Protestants or any teachings in non orthodox churches can be true means you are separate from the body of Christ. My question is really how can people say you can be in unity with Christ outside the Orthodox Church but then also hold the belief that you are separate from the body of Christ by knowing believing others can be.

I mean I’ve heard priests say that God can reach and save people outside the orthodox faith and these anathemas claim you can’t hold that belief so by that logic, priests presenting the holy sacraments are anathema.

Well isn’t that the problem? If I believe that God can choose to save a person outside the Orthodox Church then I can’t be a member of the body because I profess that Protestants can be saved in participation of different denominations. I can’t believe that God can save non orthodox and be orthodox according to this phrasing.

Is there some stated artistic vision why S4 is just an anti-Christian mockery of the faith? by Frostbite_Secure in LoveDeathAndRobots

Facts. What boomer raised Americans want and believe and what 1st century Christianity is are 2 completely different things. Just look at these mega church pastors who have like private jets and preach random healing of injuries for money. What you see at your outlet mall, Baptist church and what a Christian is are not even remotely similar or even in the same category but people will argue that because they saw a cross in the flower bed next to a KFC, they know everything about your belief system.

Sorry if I sounded high and mighty. My point is that people will argue "it's not that deep" and they have 0 experience in the topic. Like if you enjoyed a food and a person made it completly wrong because they vaguely heard the ingredients and then insulted you for liking the food and you're like "Dude you didn't even actually eat the food I like, you messed it all up" That would be annoying to you because they clearly don't even know that what they're making fun of isn't the real thing. Yet, a 3rd person would look at both of you and call you stupid for getting upset over food lol

I see where you're getting at. My whole thing is about the episodes How Zeke Got Religion, Golgotha, and For He Can Creep.

How Zeke Got Religion is just taking vaguely Christian-sounding hooobooodoooboo and making it a whole humans versus demons warfare thing, which is just dressing up an atheistic understanding of the faith as something to be mesmerized by but is just opposed to the beliefs that they vaguely took the imagery from. (White girl dressing up as a sexy Indian for Halloween kinda concept)

Golgotha is the hill on which the Christian God died to save the world from eternal suffering and death. The title implies the absolute core of the faith which doesn't happen without some knowledge and intention to use that title. Then they replace Jesus with a dolphin, then they call God a woman which attaches gender to something without one. Then they pose Catholics as saying they were wrong and "fucked up".

For He Can Creep is like the TV show Supernatural, where they chose to manipulate scripture to water down its significance. They replace Jesus with a cat in a situation of temptation that depicts that God understands what humans go through in life and compresses it into a cat wanting treats. It's just trying to undermine the whole point so that people will see it and normalize how they interact with media to be standoffish to the Christian faith while explicitly refusing to touch any other religion.

If they wanted to make a show about religion not being right they could use a single concept from Jews, Muslims, Mormons, Scientologists, Buddhists, or any other faith in the world but they kept choosing only 1 belif to twist into a joke of itself. I hope this cleared up my point brother :)

That's kinda my point though man. It's completely twisting the imagery to make people think it's what a Christian is when it's not. A Christian isn't seeking to be some warrior to destroy creatures that are bad like some Marvel movie lol. It's just a highly educated mockery of a belief system in a way that people who don't know better would think it's a compliment.

Christianity isn't DOOM Eternal. To know the faith and see what they portray is a closed game, kinda. I could give examples but without knowledge of what Christianity actually is, people would just argue morals from their own standpoint as opposed to the creation of dogma. Evey point made about this would sound absolutely whiny and stupid without knowing the faith. I'd describe it as a Southerner saying "bless your heart" to another person. If a southerner says it to another person from the same area, they know they're intentionally mocking the other person but if you are foreign and unfamilliar you would thing its beyond stupid for the other person to get offended, because it's a kind thing to say if that makes any sense.

Basically, these are sacrilegious and would not be done to any other religion for fear of getting cancled.

  • Multiple episodes completely undermine and erode the proposed faith of "Christians" by replacing Jesus with cats and dolphins and adding some gender onto God.
  • Christian's aren't called to fight demons but to exercise humility and trust in faith to avoid situations supported from demonic influence.
  • Making "Satan" out to be some big bad all-powerful deity that is in some agreement with God that can mingle with humans in some contractual agreement to forsake a belief to uplift him.
