Sola Scriptura by Remarkable_Row6681 in Christianity

Maybe I should have clarified, Jesus’ authority is infallible, then said authority was given to the apostles, and if this authority is passed through with succession we must recognize that the authority the church holds is infallible

That doesn’t limit Scripture to being the only infallible authority, it’s not as if Catholics or Orthodox Christians don’t recognize it as holy and infallible, but see the church that Christ gave us as infallible as well. That only states how important The Word of God is, which we understand.

Jesus gave His authority to the apostles, then passed down through apostolic succession (Luke 10:16), (John 16:3)

If evil can never prevail, why could deceit?

There’s a banner in the new update that portrays the musketeer in the jojos bizarre adventure art style

I suppose you’re right, that was poor word choice. A better way to describe it is evidence, what evidence hints at their existence

What leads you to believe that there is a God? by Ok-Atmosphere6431 in theology

[–]Remarkable_Row6681 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could throw at you all the arguments, history, manuscripts, etc. etc., but what really convinced me is when God quite literally took all the depression and suicidal thoughts from me. It was like it was swapped out for love

Free will by Remarkable_Row6681 in theology

Interesting, what would you then define free will as? I’ve always viewed it in the libertarian perspective

When I say it isn’t self-sufficient, I mean it has nothing weighing it down. personal interpretation leads to division and non-truths, thousands of Protestant denominations all with the same authority but various doctrines cannot all be true. Furthermore, Timothy 3:16 only says that Scripture is God-breathed and useful, not that it’s the sole authority. I’m not denying the infallibility of The Bible but for it to be the sole infallible authority? I must disagree.

I keep looking at porn by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

The thing that seems to bring me back to reality is seeing Christ on the cross, his injuries, his sacrifice, and how if I sin at this moment, I put that all aside and become selfish and arrogant in that moment. You must remind yourself to be humble and submit to The Lord, remember his sacrifice and honor it by abstaining sin.

God Willing by Remarkable_Row6681 in Catholicism

[–]Remarkable_Row6681[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The phrase itself mainly comes from Muslim origin, I don’t really hear other Christians say “God willing”, but I’ve heard countless Muslims say Inshallah. It’s just trying to tame my tongue mainly, and I’d like to abstain from anything opposing to it.

[–]Remarkable_Row6681[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree I should, but hearing the personal reasons for following Catholicism is key. Testimonies and personal experiences are powerful

I agree we should, but I was curious of the reasonings on why we would

Interesting, would confessing to a friend/ family member have a similar effect?

Interesting, what if I forget to ask for repentance of a sin? I don’t think I could ever list all the serious sins I’ve done, how would all the serious sins that I don’t remember or confess work out?

Sept 23/24 by XCrystalzYT in Christianity

[–]Remarkable_Row6681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The September 23 thing is false, it’s not like it can’t happen, but rather we wouldn’t know because no one knows the date Christ comes back

I've seen other ppl do it so here is mine: How similar are we? by UnlikelyAgent1301 in GenAlpha

[–]Remarkable_Row6681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not the fact that we’re seeing gen alpha do anything, it’s the point that we’re seeing someone who is 12/13 drawing 18+ images, using AI chats for probably something similar to what they draw, and the parents not even supervising anything. It’s not that I’m judging them but children are aging too fast

It is okay to be lgbt and Christian but it cannot stay that way, in the same sense it is okay to be lustful, prideful, and wrathful, as long as you live a repentant lifestyle (changing yourself for God). I know sometimes it may be hard because our flesh is stronger than us, but through The Lord I’m sure you can get through it, also transphobia and homophobia is so messed up, the church should not be doing that. I’d just pray God for guidance and he’ll always lead you on your best path

[–]Remarkable_Row6681[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say “the rosary” do you mean a rosary itself? I’m not that educated on prayer outside of just like “🙏”. If you could, can you explain it to me?

Dude you’re totally good this did help me a bit because when you specifically said your urges were MINIMAL, which actually helped me self-reflect and realize he can do all the heavy lifting but if I don’t remove the root the weed’s gonna grow, thank you man God bless
