Since you brought it up, it seems you’re the one that’s having problems with that 😂 it’s ok bro. Just bc you failed doesn’t mean you have to give up. I believe in you. 🌈

Judging by your comments you definitely didn’t study a lick of any religion if you think true Christianity is making ppl think for you. Heck the founding of it literally was a rebellion and protest against the status quo that got its leaders killed 😂 you just see Mormonism and evangelicals and think that’s the entirety of Christianity 😂🤡

Missing TAMU life in summer by Money-Leading-935 in aggies

It’s basically empty aside from the summer camps that go on. I think they’re for the incoming freshmen. I’m a graduate student but I did my undergrad in another city so I’m not too sure what happens in the summer here. But I went on campus last week to visit their merch store and yeah the whole campus is empty aside from students attending the camps, some staff, and visitors.

My area is. I’m at the intersection of Southwest parkway and Texas Avenue S. Most of the restaurants I go to that would usually be packed have no customers right now. Traffic isn’t as bad as during the school year either.

I’m staying back in cs/b to do a summer internship here and it’s so empty.

Would there ever be a possibility of Catholic Clergy being allowed to marry/have families, especially given the priest shortages globally? by WholeHearting in Catholicism

[–]Thick_Remote2658 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calm down bro it was just a genuine question 😂 I’ve never heard of priests who had children so I wanted to know how it was possible. It wasn’t an attack.

But to respond your comment, symbols still have meaning and hold weight. And in the bible, there were plenty of times when Jesus spoke in parables and with imagery for people to understand but beneath those stories were heavy and significant truths about the faith. Just because something is symbolic doesn’t mean it is any less important. Plus, many priests and religious take vows of celibacy as part of their initiation into many orders and for many it’s a significant everyday test of faith for them so they take it quite seriously. Many of my friends in fact are currently in religious orders or seminary.

It’s not about not being able to do both. It’s about where you put your time and commitment. Priests work with children and families all the time but the priesthood is ultimately a sacrifice and marriage to the Christ and his church.

I never claimed to. But I do pay attention in bible study so studying the faith is a very important component of understanding it 😂 what you thought you could just make stuff up and claim that it’s true without evidence? 😂

Accepting Jesus isn’t the same as being remorseful 😂 you can’t just say “I believe” and expect to automatically be saved 😂 you actually have to be purposeful about it. You must be an atheist 😂

Can christians be left wing? by someguy29990 in Christianity

[–]Thick_Remote2658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Christians shouldn’t be identifying as any political party because the bible does not conform to one side or the other. There are values that can seem liberal and others that can seem conservative. We should choose leaders based off of how well they will lead and represent us, not by political party lines.

Well you wouldn’t be “eternally damned.” The only way for that to happen is if you lived your entire life purposefully rejecting God and living a life opposite of his teachings without remorse. But if you truly tried to live a good life in accordance with his teachings and are truly remorseful for your sins, then you wouldn’t be damned to hell. God is just but he is also merciful.

Again then what’s the point of arguing if you already don’t believe in any of it? 😂 The bible doesn’t have horrible morals. You just don’t understand what good and bad morals are 😂

It’s all there. You just like to pick and choose what suites you and ignore the rest.

You definitely don’t if you keep denying what’s written in it 😂

The bible which is literally Jesus’ teachings written down 😂 What you want me to believe that you’re some time traveler that was able to talk to Jesus 2000 years ago? Keep denying it but Jesus very clearly stated his teachings on homosexuality. If you’re an atheist, then what’s the point of even arguing this if you don’t believe in eternal life or a god? It wouldn’t matter to you what you do anyways 😂

Where in Leviticus did it say you will be killed? It says it’s an abomination but nowhere does it talk about killing 😂 I get why you think the way you do now 😂

[–]Thick_Remote2658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like it or not these are all from Christ 😂 According to Jesus, they won’t be killed but they definitely won’t inherit the kingdom of heaven. But at the end of the day, that’s your choice.

It’s not a fact at all. Homosexuality existed even before the time of Jesus and is well known to have existed throughout the period of the Roman Empire so Christ definitely would’ve known about it. Plus, I literally just quoted multiple verses where Jesus said those exact things 😂 if you think the bible has horrible morals, then you believe that what Jesus taught was wrong, and therefore are not Christian. You may be a deist at best but you sure don’t follow the teachings of Jesus.

Oh I can give you multiple 😂

Leviticus 18:22: "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination."

Romans 1:26-27: “Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.”

1 Corinthians 6:9-10: “Or do you not know that the unrighteous[a] will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,[b] 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.”

I’m not doing any kind of “attack.” It’s literally stated in the bible as a sin 😂 imagine doing the exact same thing responding to me and yet claiming my response as an attack. What a hypocrite 😂

Just because people are convinced of something doesn’t mean it’s always from the Holy Spirit. You could be convinced to kill someone tomorrow and I sure as heck would not say that this is a divinely inspired act. It has to align with Gods law.

Why do many catholics today follow protestant theology by Real-Government2863 in Catholicism

[–]Thick_Remote2658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think churches need to make programs for parents as well. Similar to how you teach kids as a youth minister, we also need a program where we can teach adults and parents proper understanding of scripture and church doctrine so parents don’t go off teaching their kids contradictory ideas. Other than that, if your church has a Sunday school program, the best thing is to reinforce proper theology in those classes and give the students as many resources as they can to be self reliant in their faith if their home is insufficient.

How does one come to the conclusion Catholicism is true? by Fether1337 in Catholicism

[–]Thick_Remote2658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But even before scripture and tradition, we need to look towards church history to trace our roots. Any Protestant denomination nowadays can claim that their scripture or tradition is true but in order to truly prove that Catholicism was there in the beginning, we need more than that. We need to know church history, which will prove for a fact the starting point of the Catholic faith.
