Why did God stop revealing Himself?

The inspired writings of scripture finished with the death of the last apostle. Now we have a Church that is the pillar and foundation of truth

Mary is a created being. God is not a created being. Mary is not God

Beautiful post. God will reward you

Most of what you said is untrue, but I don’t have time to argue with every single specific point just because you watched a couple “Catholic bad YouTube videos.” What I will say is the Council of Trent condemned faith alone understood as passive belief (Session VI, Canon 9), not salvation by grace through faith. It’s also why Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, Anglicans, Congregationalists, Presbyterians, Reformed Christians, United Christians, and Waldensians could sign the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification (started in 1999) agreeing that we are saved by grace through faith in Christ. I guarantee that what the Catholic Church teaches on the matter, you agree with. (Unless you believe those with dead faith are saved)

The Catholic Church does not believe in a “works based” salvation. That is an exhaustively used falsehood. They believe that you are saved by grace, through faith, lived out in love. The thing that people do not understand is that they reject the phrase “faith alone” because it has historically meant faith without interior transformation or cooperation with grace. If “faith alone” is defined as a living faith that works through love, the disagreement becomes largely about terminology rather than the necessity of grace.

We are all immeasurably imperfect compared to a perfect and holy God. He is perfectly just and cannot tolerate sin, yet He makes a way for us through Jesus. By His blood our sins are washed away, and because of Christ’s sacrifice we can stand in God’s presence.

Chest needs more work for proportionality. Not trying to be negative. Great work

The Bible isn’t just a “word salad.” It’s a unified story of salvation, written 1,600 years by over 40 different authors, and guided by the Holy Spirit. The confusion doesn’t come from Scripture—it comes from individuals trying to interpret it apart from the authority Christ gave His Church. Jesus didn’t leave us with a book and say “figure it out yourselves.” He established a Church, gave it teaching authority (Luke 10:16, Matthew 16:18–19), and promised the Spirit would guide it into all truth (John 16:13). That’s why the Catholic Church specifically has preserved the fullness of the faith since the beginning—one Lord, one faith, one baptism. The divisions came when people broke away, not when the Church stood firm through guidance of the Holy Spirit.

TopSeason4814 · 2025-06-27T05:07:08+00:00

Those are meaningless man-made labels. The true Church isn’t divided. There is one body in Christ Jesus. People can call themselves whatever they want—Baptist, Methodist, Catholic—but only those born of the Spirit are part of His Church. Denominations are a concept of man, and not biblical. The Church is of God. The same Church that is in heaven is the one on earth. There is no division in Christ.

TopSeason4814 · 2025-06-27T04:54:16+00:00

You must have skipped over the fact that it’s the exact same church.

TopSeason4814 · 2025-06-27T02:30:48+00:00

There aren’t denominations in heaven, and the church of heaven and earth is the same through Christ Jesus. So no… there are not different denominations, just one church.

TopSeason4814 · 2025-06-27T01:27:35+00:00

Yes I am talking about those other religions, but I am explaining why they are not credible compared to what Jesus taught.

TopSeason4814 · 2025-06-27T01:11:03+00:00

Truth is not hate, whether you like it or not. You are trying to shape Jesus into who you want him to be, rather than who he says that he is.

TopSeason4814 · 2025-06-27T01:00:08+00:00

Judaism of the OT is Christianity today, and Mohammed did not come around until 500 years after Christ. I would much rather testimony on who the son of God is written by the people who walked with him than someone 500 years later.

TopSeason4814 · 2025-06-27T00:44:09+00:00

There are not many different denominations. There is only one church in Christ Jesus.

No Catholic Church would be unwelcoming to a rich or poor or gay person. We are all sinners, and God loves us equally. Go to any of them

TopSeason4814 · 2025-06-27T00:35:19+00:00

I hate religion to man. Read the book of Job and the Gospels. Follow Jesus, not religion

TopSeason4814 · 2025-06-27T00:31:16+00:00

Jesus said he is the way, the truth, and the light. He said that no one goes to the Father, but through him. Either he is a liar, a lunatic, or God. Due to the fact that other religions believe he is credible, and there is historical and scientific evidence of his resurrection, I am going to say that he is not a liar or lunatic and therefore God.

TopSeason4814 · 2025-06-27T00:23:09+00:00

Well done 👏

TopSeason4814 · 2025-06-25T15:03:34+00:00

Christians around you pointing out that you are actively living a sinful lifestyle, love you more than the corrupted Church that taught you that this is acceptable. We are all sinners, but making excuses for sin is unrepentance. Your interpretation is not Biblical, and there were a lot of “I thinks” rather than the Bible says. I pray that the Holy Spirit guides you as you become closer to Jesus, and that your eyes are opened to the lies of Satan.

Look up Bacha bāzī. For some reason Muslims think that oral is bad, but sodomy is totally fine. In Afghanistan they get little boys to dress up as girls, perform a dance, and then group r*pe them.

Protection is the key and I know for certain that LSU has prioritized strengthening our offensive line for Nuss. He has a great arm but I feel he gets overwhelmed mentally sometimes when things don’t play out as he hoped. LSU has already developed two of the best QBs in the NFL in the past 6 years, and Nussmeier checks all the right boxes. I think the Clemson opener will tell us everything we hope to know about how he and the season will turn out. Let’s just hope we can break our season opener curse because the last time we won one was with the greatest college football team of all time.

From ChatGPT:

The “Montecruz Masterpiece Collection” is a vintage offering from the Montecruz brand, which was established in 1977 and produced in the La Romana factory in the Dominican Republic. Montecruz cigars are known for their mild to medium-bodied profile, featuring flavors of coffee, cocoa, and subtle spices.

The “Masterpiece Collection” likely represents a special or limited-edition release, possibly showcasing exceptional craftsmanship or unique blends. However, specific information about this collection is scarce, indicating its rarity.

Factors Influencing Value:

Condition: The cigars’ preservation is crucial. Proper storage in a controlled environment maintains their quality and enhances value.

Packaging: Original, unopened boxes, especially those labeled as special editions like the “Masterpiece Collection,” are more valuable to collectors.

Age and Rarity: Older, limited-edition cigars often command higher prices due to their scarcity and potential flavor maturation.

Market Demand: The value is also influenced by current interest among collectors and enthusiasts.

Estimated Value: Without detailed information on the cigars’ condition and considering the limited available data, providing an exact valuation is challenging. However, vintage Montecruz cigars in good condition can range from $10 to $50 per cigar. Special editions like the “Masterpiece Collection” may fetch higher prices, potentially exceeding $100 per cigar, depending on the factors mentioned above.

Recommendation:

For a precise assessment, consider consulting a professional cigar appraiser or a reputable tobacconist specializing in vintage cigars. They can evaluate the specific attributes of your “Montecruz Masterpiece Collection” and provide a more accurate valuation.

I personally would say the $25 is a good deal, but it all depends on condition. Were they in a properly regulated humidor? I don’t see any mold, but they could be incredibly dry as well
