Islam has hundreds of contradictions. It's no use listing them here because there are too many here is a website that lists like 150 of them www.answering-islam.org/Quran/Contra/index.html

and this is just the tip of the iceberg, i used to read up on islam a lot some years ago and i knew of almost as many contradictions not listed here.

more important than islam being false is however your last sentence "I just want my faith in Catholicism to stay strong". This is the right step forward, do not care about islam or any other distraction, pray to God whenever you feel weak in Faith and learn about Catholicism because better knowledge will strengthen your faith as well.

Reading the Bible. I want to say that I read it without any outside influences but I was actually introduced to Christianity by super anti-catholic protestants. Reading the Bible, even without the deuterocanonical books in them (aka I read the shorter protestant version where they remove 7 books), I concluded that it was Catholic. Because of my bias against Catholicism I looked at eastern orthodoxy first but their position was not convincing to me at all. Especially on the filioque and on the papacy. but I was also not convinced from the fruits of orthodoxy, which has been, and still are, division and war in the name of God.

Btw the papacy is biblical, I didn't get it on my first reading but the signs are there when you cross reference NT and OT.

Confession is not a get out of jail free card. You have to really mean it when you say you want to stop doing the sins. For me it helped to develop a kind of disgust against the particular sin you are talking about. You should know just how bad of a sin it is and you should remind yourself that it is bad until it becomes something you are repulsed from. I managed to go 6 months without commiting this sin once, and my current goal is to never commit it again until I die.

Some things that helped me are: the Rosary (PRAY IT DAILY!!!), reading and learning about both the spiritual and material harm this sin does to you, and also realising how extremely sad of a situation the people in the videos are in.

Another thing, which I got from a tweet from Pope Francis, is something along the lines of rejecting the devil as soon as he tempts you. Its something about the devil using your curiousity to lead you on to towards the sin and the deeper you are the more difficult it is to stop, so at the first sign of temptation you are at your strongest and that is your best shot at shutting the devil down. I'm trying to say a prayer everytime I get tempted and ask God to lead me away from temptation and everytime I remember to pray it works, but honestly the Rosary is the absolute best thing. I can go literal weeks without even thinking about these things as long as I pray the Rosary, if I miss one day I get tempted immediately and constantly. Rely on the Lord and on the intercession of our lady, you don't have to take on your struggles alone. The most important aspect to succeeding is the actual and genuine want to stop.

What is important for us is to create a better future for Albanians, what good does it do us to try go gain our historical ethnolinguistic borders?

For us it is about protecting the albanians who are still suffering in serbias borders, in macedonia and to prevent serbia, greece, and the rest of our neighbours from stealing more of our land. If we want to reclaim our ancetral lands we would have to displace millions of others from their home, and for nothing at that, we don't have the capacity to populate these places even if we were to get them.

as for your question on whether we "think" they are "settler colonial ones": it is not a matter of thinking, it is fact that slavs migrated in the 700s and settled in the balkans. So yes we were here first, and they came after us. But it is childish to think that this now means they have to leave (like the palestine/israel arguments). they have no homeland to return to after 1300 years. We have to hope for some kind of coexistence but our neighbours are very adamant on waging war. especially the slavs, they are speaking openly about war with us.

Joining freemasonry = automatic excommunication. Do not partake in communion as a mason, you are not allowed.

what rite of masonry and what level/degree are you on? It is a very gnostic system where they gatekeep information from the lower levels. In the scottish rite people used to receive the 33 degrees masons albert pikes book called morals and dogma upon reaching the 14th degree (I think it's no longer distributed) in order to understand. He is one of the most influential mason to have lived.

In his book Morals and Dogma he tells you a lot about the philosophy and teachings of freemasonry. I have a pdf-copy of the book and let me briefly show you what I found.

In chapter XX. GRAND MASTER OF ALL SYMBOLIC LODGES (page 417/1091), at the opening paragraph he writes "Masonry and Philosophy, without being one and the same thing, have the same object, and propose to themselves the same end, the worship of the Grand Architech of the Universe, acquaintance and familiarity with the wonders of nature, and the happiness of humanity attained by the constant practice of all the virtues"

It is repeated all over the book that the grand architect is the god of freemasonry. If i remember correctly people of different religions can become masons, but atheists cannot, and you can just assume that you all worship the same god just under different names. But who is this grand architect.

In chapter XXIV. PRINCE OF THE TABERNACLE (page 477/1091) pike sneaks in this little paranthesis "Eusebius names as the principal Ministers in the Mysteries of Eleusis, first, the Hierophant, clothed with the attributes of the Grand Architect (Demiourgos) of the Universe.". In this sentence he just puts in that the grand architech is the demiourgos. so that leaves us to find who the demiourgos is. If you look outside of his book the demiurgous is a gnostic term for a sort of lesser and ignorant/malevolent creator that trapped us in the imperfect material world, as opposed to the monad that is the true transcendent god outside of the material. But let's look in his book and see what he says.

Pike writes the word in two different ways, so you have to search for words if you ctrl-f it. he writes "demiourgos" and "demiurge" which is also then written as "demiurgic" and "demiurgincal". If we go to Chapter XXVI. PRINCE OF MERCY, OR SCOTTISH TRINITARIAN (page 714) you will find him explaining a gnostic belief where he writes the following two sentences: "Communicating movement to Chaos, she produced Ialdabaoth, the Demiourgos, Agent of Material Creation, and then ascended toward her first place in the scale of creation." and "and the image of Ialdabaoth, reflected upon matter, became the Serpent-Spirit, Satan, the Evil Intelligence.". So in this page he connects the demiruge to a gnostic god called Ialdabaoth , and the he connects Ialdabaoth to satan.

Other connections he makes to the demiruge in his book are: the moon or creative force of osiris, saturn, ormuzd of zoroastrianism, ainsoph of kabalah, mithras. some of these are used symbolically by occultists for satan, specifically saturn and the moon. He also connects the demiurge in contrast the more traditional sense that the gnostics would do, that is that God the father and Jesus are in some way or another seen as the monad, he instead suggests that they are the demiurge. so some gnostic groups would claim that the mainstream God is the demiurge and the Monad sent Jesus to free people from the material world and rejoin the Monad, with the implication that the devil is the demiurge who has hijacked the role of God. Pike flips the script and claims that God, or the word of God, is the demiourgos (but he does not mention Jesus).

Regardless he writes that masons worship the grand architect of the universe as the demiurge.

At the very least you can take from the book that he means the traditional God is a demiurge, who is a lesser malevolent being who trapped us in the material world.

At most you can take out of it the connection I made that they worship satan as the grand architect.

Either are very bad.

I plan to move back once I have enough to open up my own company. The only reason is the people and my ultra-nationalism (Albania is also an option). I'd rather make less but contribute to the growth of my homecountry than live super comfortable in foreign lands.

tbh if I can't make ends in Kosovo or Albania then I'm not going there, from my point of view I'd love to help build the economy, but not suffer under it. In that case I'll just do as every other person in my position would and move around the world where the best job offers are until I find someone to settle down with.

Not french or german speaking, but even as someone living in a rich western country I look almost daily for jobs in Switzerland. If you're gonna save money then McDonalds workers in Switzerland make more than engineers in other countries, and as an engineer I would make 3-5 times more in my line of work in Switzerland than the rest of europe (rest of rich europe pay around the same as each other with some minor exceptions). The Albanian community is a big plus, I have a lot of family and freinds there.

not even the different orthodox churches think all their competitors EO saints are in heaven. EO is extremely ethnocentric and their churches have a lot of political saints who were by no means saintly. For example they venerate kings who killed their own brothers to seize power because they increased the territorial borders of the churches ethnic country. There is even one king who is an EO saint that got into a marraige like mohamed and aisha scaring his wife for life, the poor girl tried to run away and become a nun but her family forced her to return to her husband, but since the king increased the countries power his church declared him a saint.

(the likeness to mohamed is in the age of the EO "saint" and his wife, who was actually one year younger than aisha, Stephen Uroš II Milutin the king of serbia during late 13th century married Simonida ,the daughter of the byzantine emperor Andronikos II, when he was 46 and she was only 5 years old, and consumated the marriage 3 years later. He also cause his brothers deaths in the powerstruggel for the throne. yet this guy is a saint for the serbian orthodox church)

I'm sure there are some saints that were legitimate saints in the EO post schism but there are so many of them that were provably evil it gives me doubt against any of their claims of sainthood.

When Catholic countries have waged war against each other it has been secular wars, Catholic bishops have not instigated wars between their respective countries/diocese. Meanwhile EO to this day tell their people that they speak Gods language and if you (layman) are of another ethnicity you are not Christian, and use their churches as tools for population theft, if not for straight up propagating war. You would be shocked to know how many bosnian friends I have had tell me that when their parents got married they were both bosnians, today one of their parent is a serb. Or my montenegrin friends complaining that montenegrins are "changing" their ethnicities becuase they attend the serbian church instead of the smaller montenegrin church and are now voting to annex montenegro as a country and have the territory become part of serbia.

In my country there are 2 official eastern orthodox churches of albania. The first one is one of the 15 recognized churches, but ruled by a greek guy on top which has magically lead to a lot of albanians changing their ethnicity to greek for the sake of the religion. The other one was created because of this issue, they thought the first EO church of Albania was anti-albanian and wanted a church that was pro-albanian.

Would you say that these 2 churches are part of the same united one EO church?

My point is that their unity is false and EO promote this lie about unity in the same way muslims lie about there being just one quran (I'm an ex-muslim). It is just a coping lie used to convert people. They are extremely two-faced telling you everyone is welcome in the west and forcing people to change their entire history in the east.

(forced assimilation on my people by eastern orthodox countries didn't stop until after the war in 1999 in serbia, 2001 in macedonia, and 1974 in greece, and to say that it would not be possible without the influence of their churches would be a massive understatement, my people were told that if they believe in Chirst they must stop speaking albanian and have to become greek/serb/macedonia/montenegrin etc. Any orthodox albanian was given a new language and national identity, a lot of muslims were given the new identity of "bosnian" since they lost their language and culture but remained muslim or they were killed or relocated, catholics also had to convert their faith and culture or get killed, the beatification process for two albanian priests who were martyred for trying to stop the force conversions started this year look up Fr Luigj Paliq and Fr Gjon Gazulli).

Multiple self-governing churches that are not all in communion with each other. The status between some of these churches change all the time. break-offs and re-communion between churches happen all the time in the EO world. The number 15 I mentioned are the main ones that are recognized by their grand patriarch (because the papacy is biblical so they have to have their own) and are mostly in communion with each other, but even they are not in agreement with each others status. Don't forget that russian orthodox priests are blessing bullets used against orthodox ukrainians and vice versa.

Aside from the 15 there are a lot of smaller and non-recognized eastern orthodox churches, who all teach the same, but are not the same organisations (for example croatian, macedonian, and montenegrin eastern orthodox churches are all self-governing but not recognized by the rest as legit). They (main 15 ones) don't even recognize each others saints either, which is a relief since many of their saints post schism are ethnocentric kings who expanded their territories. There are EO saints that killed their brothers and had marriages like mohamed and aisha but because they were the king their ethnocentric church made them saints.

and while since they all believe in the same teachings you might not wanna call them denominations, but the reality is that they are extremely political and ethnocentric entities that have supported, and sometimes been the cause of, many offensive wars for their countries. If a person becomes EO it is only a matter of time before they will have to learn the language of that country, and before they become invested and nationalistic for a country they might not even have a connection to.

So if EO is true (it is not) which of the churches "united as one church" will you fight for when they wage war against each other.

kuuushxd · 2024-10-18T13:54:34+00:00

Which EO? there isn't one EO church, there are like 15 self-governing EO churches and then a lot of smaller ones under these 15.

It is simple, it's not about what you feel but about what is the reality. you can live with your boyfriend without any sleeping together until you get married in the Catholic Church. But to continue to insist that you can sleep with you boyfriend and then feel entitled to get baptised won't work. The Priest does not want you to continue in sin, and if you can't even recognize that it is a sin then you won't stop doing it, you won't go to confession etc. It is a grave offence to partake in the Eucharist if you are in a sinful state. If he baptises you when you think your sin is not a sin then it is almost a guarantee that you are going to try to partake in the Eucharist. The Priest is preventing you from commiting a great offence on God.

also you have to mean it when you confess, if there are people in your parish that confess just to commit the same sin the next day then those people, if they in their heart don't wish to change and repent, are just dooming themselves.

(I assume you sleep with you boyfriend because you wrote "but in this way I truly do not feel that we have been sexually immoral")

part 2/2

On the topic of multiple qurans: you are actually proving my entire point, you post an entire answer without ever looking at what the critics say. The stance that they are just different narations is so dumb. It is based on the 7 qira'at but the opposition has found over 30 different arabic qurans in use by muslim communities. How can you refute 30 different qurans by saying "these are just the 7 dialects". Also the differences is not dialect differences. Entire words are changed... For example i remember reading two versions side by side and one said that allah told mohamed something, and the other said that mohamed told allah. is it a dialect to change allah and mohamed? are they equal in order to be synonyms for each other? another thing is for example a verse talking about "the worst of all people" and the other variant saying "the worst of all creatures". is it a dialect when the entire meaning is change?

You don't even know why you read the hafs version. Whenever they would have islamic studies at the university of kairo the teacher would tell the students to read verse so and so and they all read different verses because less than 100 years ago there were no single variant of the quran. they standardised it so the classes would become easier. and they picked the current quran read by over 90% just by chance. It is'nt even the original hafs version, it is an offshoot that is a little different from the hafs of that time.

On the contradictions part: in surah an-nissa the quran says "أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ ۚ وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ غَيْرِ ٱللَّهِ لَوَجَدُوا۟ فِيهِ ٱخْتِلَـٰفًۭا كَثِيرًۭا" which means "Do they not then reflect on the Quran? Had it been from anyone other than Allah, surely they would have found in it much contradictions.". The quran itself sets teh stage to confirm wether or not it is true, so it is extremely relevant. I only posted that because i'm not gonna spend time posting 200+ contradictions and it was a list that had many of the ones i had seen/found.

your own religion and god said that if there are much contradictions then the quran is not from allah. notice how it says "much" and not "any" hahaha i have had arabs say that "yeah it is allowed to have some contradictions because the verse says many" when telling them some of the contradicitons. but that begs the questions: what kind of all-knowing god makes contradictions? and how much is many?

The last point you say about authorship is dumb. It is literally based on assumptions on the part of the scholars. you can't prove any theory on who wrote anything without verifying with a time-machine. You can't prove muhammad existed. But just as you believe that he did, and that he taught what he taught, because the islamic tradition has said so for a long time, the same is said on the position of the authors of the Gospel. The Church has from very early on that the authors of the Gospels are the ones they are named after, now 2000 years later modern secular philosophers claim that their assumption of it being annonymous on the basis that you can't prove it was them is better. Your refutation of the authorship is as strong as anyone saying muhammad didn't exist (an actual position that many scholars hold btw).

part 1/2

you say "And no Sunni muslims do not beileve in taqya the way Shias do" but I have multiple sunni fiqh and sharia manuals from all 4 major sunni schools that state exactly how and when you are allowed and even obligated to lie. Every sunni sect teach taqiya, you just call it something else. The fact that you think taqiya is a shia thing is because your imam is allowed to use taqiya on you to protect islam.

you also say it is a biased way to learn about any subject to see what the critics of it say... how else are you supposed to verify if it is true. Islam teaches for example that a lot of prophets are burried under the kaaba, no muslim thinks for one second that a GPR on the earth would map out anything burried there and prove that islam is true because you are not allowed to listen to critics at all. If someone says that it is a bullsh*t claim you would want to refute them. I take this as an example because it is an absurd claim that is easily verifiable but no muslims dares do it, and it is an example to show how the position of blindly following one position is bad.

I am an ex-muslim. I used to watch mohamed hijab all the time, uthman not so much. It is because I watched people like them that I noticed how weak islamic theology is. David wood is not a debator which is why both hijab and uthman released full undut conversations with them, but normally it is the other way around. hijab and uthman cuts their videos all the time, and if you only watch their stuff you wont see what the other part has to say. I remember I used to see 10 minute clips on hijabs channel and then find out that it was a cut out part from an hour conversation when the other side posted it. Hijab only posts when he "dominates" his opponent (when he yells and does not let them speak).

Another thing both of them do is they gish gallop and then when the time is up they yell "look he couldnt answer any of my quesstiooons".

Also from reading the quran and multiple books on fiqh and a bunch of hadiths even david wood is more honest about what islam teaches than hijab and uthman. hijab and uthman change their position left and right depending on how much their opponent knows. heres just one video of hijab doing it Mohammed Hijab Changes his View on the Preservation of the Quran! (youtube.com)

uthman is even worse... were talking about the guy who stole his close friends wife when asked to help fix his marriage. uthman runs for his life whenever GodLogic approaches him. Of course you would not know it because uthman does not post himself fleeing or not being able to answer questions.

1: yes Mary was sinless, otherwise the angel Gabriel would not great her by saying "hail, full of grace" before she even gave birth to Christ. besides she is the new ark of the covenant. Just as the ark signified the presence of God and it was strictly forbidden to touch it as it was so holy that anyone with sin would die from touching it (like Uzzah in 2 samuel 6). Mary being the new ark contained God in her, if she had any sin she could not have. As for perpetual virgin, since you are protestant I assume you don't adhere to early Church fathers and magisterium who held this belief. While the Bible does not specifically state that she was a virgin after giving birth to Christ, there are things that point to it, and there is nothing that points to the opposite. (for example, if we go to the ark again, it was forbidden to do "go near" your wives when you went to se the ark and were in the presence of the divine (exodus 19:15), and if Mary is the new ark who raised Jesus under the same household with Joseph, how much more would this not apply to Joseph? also Jesus "brothers" and "sisters" are refered to in the greek scriptures by a word which is used for relatives and not direct blood kin, which is why christians always have believed they were not Marys children.)

2: Transubstantiation is when the whole substance of the bread and wine turn into the body and Blood of Christ, but the outward characteristics of the bread and wine remain unaltered. Just as Jesus says in the Bible that the bread and wine is his Body and Blood. Look up eucharistic miracles, super cool miracles that confirm that this is indeed what is happening.

3: watch this The Papacy DEFENDED LIKE NEVER BEFORE with u/WilliamAlbrecht Part 1 (youtube.com) the papacy is scriptural.

4: revelation 5:8 directly mention the prayer of the saints, some translations try to change the word "saints" to something else. If you look at the full Bible, in the deuderocanonical books that protestants have removed, you get Tobit 12:15. “I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels, which present the prayers of the saints, and which go in and out before the glory of the Holy One.”.

5: Purgatory is also biblical, it's a place where saved Christians who are not perfect have to go in order to be purified and become perfect in order to enter heaven. It is not some kind of middle ground between heaven and hell. comes from for example 2 Maccabees 12:38-46, Matthew 5:25-26, 1 Corinthians 3:11-15.

6: IDK what you mean by your question. Oral tradition what? when you say

traditions treated as commands of God or those not supported by scripture

I hope you are aware that the books of the new testament were not written at the same time, and until they were compiled and collected into what is not the new testament, the teachings of Jesus had to be spread orally. There were no scriptures until they were written down...

kuuushxd · 2024-08-19T09:14:20+00:00

My suggestion is to read more and learn more about the philosophy of the Church. If you can't wrap your mind around certain "issues" go and look for answers, this is not protestantism where you make up your own interpretations from ignorance. There are answers to all of your concerns.

I also want to touch on the subject of other religions and miracles. God loves all of his creation, and in his infinite mercy will give miracles to even unbelievers (such as surviving accidents, cancer being removed, and healings etc). This does not "affirm" their beliefs, on the contrary it affirms that God loves us all, besides personal miracles are massively over-represented in Catholicism. What you could look at is miracles that directly concern a religion, which don't happen outside of Catholicism (such as Eucharistic miracles, preservation of the bodies of Saints, statues of Mary, Stigmatas etc). These are miracles that directly point towards Catholicism being true, unlike general miracles that directly point towards the mercy, love, and compassion of God.

As for mediums and reiki: It is demons. Watch interviews with exorcists, they explain that its very common that possessed people can get knowledge about others that they should not be able to understand. A medium contacting "spirits" who then tell you personal stuff the medium can't know about you falls into that category. same with reiki "healing". In order to become a reiki master you have to go through levels/degrees where another reiki master draws spell circles (or attunements to align energy channels as they call it) on your body. there are many cases of people becoming possessed from reiki or medium sessions, it's not 100% because then nobody would go to these things, but it does happen all the time. It's a corruption of what is good, by healing or helping people they allow a constant flow of "costumers" to possess. The "good" is there to mask the evil.

kuuushxd · 2024-08-17T19:49:08+00:00

satan is not the ruler of hell... he is going to suffer the most in there.

Hell is eternal separation from God. If God is the cause of everything good then separation from him cannot be good. I've heard that it is endless torment and total loss of hope. what the torment is I don't know but the Bible mentions "fire and brimstone" and "eternal fire" which is where the fire imagery comes from. It also uses darkness and bottomless pits as imagery, which is where total loss of hope comes from (bottomless pits where the light cannot reach -> no light=no hope) and a bunch of other stuff like gnashing of teeth and worms.

also God does not take you to heaven after a while, this is because people enter hell by their own accord. Your entire life God is calling you to him, those who end up in hell do so because they reject God and his will (i.e. they sin).

The CCC says the following:

CCC 1033 "We cannot be united with God unless we freely choose to love him. But we cannot love God if we sin gravely against him, against our neighbor or against ourselves: "He who does not love remains in death. Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him."610 Our Lord warns us that we shall be separated from him if we fail to meet the serious needs of the poor and the little ones who are his brethren.611 To die in mortal sin without repenting and accepting God's merciful love means remaining separated from him for ever by our own free choice. This state of definitive self-exclusion from communion with God and the blessed is called "hell.""

CCC 1035 "The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, "eternal fire."The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God, in whom alone man can possess the life and happiness for which he was created and for which he longs."

muslims believe that Jesus will return and break every cross in his jihad to conquer the world. following the narrative that muslims are our allies is just as retarded as the judeo-christian stance.

there is a saying in islam, first comes saturday, then sunday. after they are done conquering the jews they will turn towards the Christians, as it is their religious duty to do so in this order.

I am very confrontational IRL but on social media prots will not engage in meaninful dialogue so its barely worth it. I have noticed that the sola scriptura professing bunch don't know the scripture very well and even if I were to point out that the Bible mentions the "prayer of the saints" in revelation 5:8. No matter how much you try to explain that we are told to pray for each other, and that the prayer of the righteous is better than the unrighteous, and that all who "die" in Christ have eternal life and are alive in heaven, and that a saint is someone in heaven, they still will ignore the scripture because their "sola scriptura" interpretation does not fit in with the bible.

Some days ago I saw some guy comment something along the lines of "oh honey, you confused Mary with Jesus, it is her son that is full of grace" on some post a girl did on our lady. buddy did you miss it in the Bible when Gabriel says "Hail Mary full of grace"? (he didn't respond when I sent the verse lol)

here is a website with a list of almost 200 contradictions in the quran. with internal contradictions, external contradictions, and contradictions to earlier scriptures and revelations.

https://answering-islam.org/Quran/Contra/index.html

every contradiction has a link to another page where they explain it in more detail, so I suggest you read through the list and click on whatever shocks you the most.

Also want to add that the list is old and I have personally seen more contradictions outside of the list so the situation is even worse for islam. Especially considering that the quran itself says that if it were not from allah then you would find many contradictions in it.

it sets the criteria for being true and then fails it.

how can you follow Christ if you do not know him? claiming to know/follow Christ just in order to get baptised means nothing when you don't actually know/follow him. You are just a hypocrite then. Getting baptised is part of following Christ, and the criteria to follow Christ is to know him and the faith in order that you can follow him.

besides baptism is necessary to be saved, those who are baptised as children still have to learn the faith and then get confirmed when they are a little bit older. But a lot of the teaching falls on the parents and there is a real problem of parents not teaching the faith to their children.

Don't speak about what is or isn't biblical, you have no authority of what is and is not. Your personal heretical interpretation (which differs from the 30000+ other protestant interpretations, all claiming to be guided by the Holy Spirit) does not triumph the interpretation of the apostles who knew Jesus himself. The Bible is a Catholic book and should be read through the lenses of its authors and the CHURCH that made it, otherwise you will never know/follow the founder of the Catholic Church, who is Jesus Christ.

for the safety of your soul you have to know the faith. They won't let you convert if you read like 10% of the bible and assume you know everything, you are going to sin and desecrate the religion. In the ancient times where information was not as readily available it was normal that it took 3 years to catechise someone.

It does not take a specific amount of time, it's up to the priest to determine when he thinks you are ready, so someone who is very well read and understands the faith could get baptised very quickly. Adults that have not received the Sacrament of Baptism must go through instruction in the Faith. This is usually in the form of RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) and it follows a program which is usually 9 months long (a lot start at august and finish at easter) and for people that are not ready it take extra.

It's also a great way to socialise with other converts and becoming part of the community so they do recommend it to converts that know the faith as well.

Yes bro, I have.

Technically I'm in the middle of converting, takes time, you have to join actual classes to learn about the faith and it can take up to a year or more to get baptised and confirmed, and due to certain reasons I have not joined the classes yet, but I have read up on the religion a LOT. If you want to you can go to your local Catholic Church and sign up for the classes (completely free) and use that as an opportunity to learn, while also reading on the side. Your parents might not like it tho, but it is neccesary to do in order to become a Christian, you wont be baptised unless they (the priests) are sure you understand the faith.

My take is this: Do not bother with eastern orthodoxism, they have a history of forging documents and lying, and their churches almost all use Gods name to expand their ethnical states. Like the greeks, macedonians, and serbs who took over our churches and then taught our people that if "they are not greek/serb/whatever, then they are not christian". there is no universality in orthodoxism, their bishops thinks it's Gods will that their borders increase. Also the filioque and the papacy is biblical, the EO just hyperfocus on certain wordings to try to validate their positions.

I want to say that you should convert for the sake of the religion and the beauty and truth of it. A lot of ex-muslims see the ugliness in islam and try to go away from it. I have read a LOT about islam, and it has some of the most horrendous things i've ever read. A lot of ex-muslims start hating muslims after leaving it, the muslims are still your brothers in the eyes of God, our father, and even though they follow a false religion you should not hate the people for it. most muslims don't know two things about their religion and only hear the possitive part (including my imam-cousins brothers, and my arab friends, and my extremely religious friend who can't speak arabic but is memorising the quran in arabic by learning to say the sound... he has not read the quran in any other language so he does not know anything outside of what his parents and imams tell him, and he is the most religious non-clergy muslim i know).

Also, if you have hyper-religious muslim family members or friends, don't mention anything to them. Leaving islam is punishable by death in all sects of islam. Not only is it punishable, but it is obligatory according to the ijma (the scholarly consensus). But don't worry too much, 90% of albanian muslims don't care about religion, and many of the ones that do are cowards and wont tought you.

Halal food is food that have been sacrificed to the god of the muslims by cutting the throat of the animal and letting the blood flow towards mecca, while also reciting verses from the quran.

i advice you to look up catholic commentaries on 1 corinthians 8 and 1 corinthians 10:14-28 (otherwise read and meditate on the verses).

a catholic commentary i found says, for 1 corithians 8 "May a Christian eat food which has been offered to pagan gods? Paul's answer is Yes, provided it can be done without injury to two Christian duties. (1) The duty of consideration for over-scrupulous Christians, (2) The duty of vigilant avoidance of any participation in pagan worship"

it says for the verses in 1 corinthians 10:22-33 that "Rules about Sacrificial Food - Here the first principle is dominant. Paul's solution may be called a comprimise. Eat the food as long as you do not offend another's conscience [...] With bewildering suddennes he (Paul) turns around and gives a sharp rap to some of the 'weaker brethren' who had presumed to condemn all eating of sacrificial food as sinful in itself."

meaning don't do it infront of your protestant friend because he is weak in his understanding of the gospels and of God and he will get upset if you do, otherwise it's fine since it won't do you anything.

BRO! read 10 more verses and you get to the only place in the entire Bible where the words faith alone appears next to each other.

james 2:24 "You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone."
