He literally purged members of his own party when he felt like it. And nobody disagrees that he teamed up with USSR to split up Poland (that alone means a lot of killing).
We also agree that soviet gulags are responsible for many deaths, so even if Nazis "only" had gulags, they killed alot of their slaves who otherwise could have lived.
You faggots came here together holding hands and both won't stfu. Probably all the same guy.
Propaganda for another unsaved despot who killed millions.
You made that "strawman" happen because saying "be your own pope" presupposes that's a legitimate role.
The early church, i.e early christians, maintained scriptures. Did specifically the people calling themselves "Orthodox" do so? I mean surely that's what you guys say, but either way the scriptures are written by the original authors.
I will take a look at your Sola scripture stuff later, but to me that line of thinking is a strawman. It's never "scripture alone", it's God who saves us, by grace, through faith. But one thing it is not, is by ritual, by tradition. That's superfluous.
Your arguments were all taken apart in my previous comments, using clear passages from scripture.
We understand salvation using scripture. We don't require a Pope as you imply (and as Catholics explicitly teach). Shame on you for twisting the gospel.
15“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
If you think this means salvation happens at the death bed after keeping all commandments daily, then you must think the Book of Acts is full of zombies. Because people are referred to as "saved", past tense. Not "maybe saved on their deathbed, we hope, maybe some day".
In Acts Chapter 16 we see the passage called "The Philippian Jailer Saved". Did they make a mistake, and it should be called "Philippian Jailer could be maybe saved many years later on his death bed?" "Philippian Jailer was moved in the right direction, no idea if he got saved, who cares?"
Acts 15 also deals with salvation. Peter states to the council:
giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; ...purifying their hearts by faith.
Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
Where is wake up everyday unsure and maybe when you die you are saved?
Your only out is attacking scripture. "Well who compiled these texts..." argument.
acting as your own popes
Please show me where Jesus or any Apostle said you require a pope to read scripture. Also check with the prophets in the OT. Let me know what you find.
Secondly why haven't you addressed a single argument from the pastor in the video?
Jesus said "He that heareth my word and believeth on he that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation" John 5:24
We see the Apostle Paul write "saved" in the past tense. "unto use which are saved, it is the power of God" 1 Corinthians 1:18
And we are to know a "peace which surpasses all understanding" from God. That makes sense in the context of being saved already.
Far from a license to sin, Paul who said we are saved "by grace... through faith" showed complete devotion. If someone else uses a superficial faith in Jesus to justify a worldly life of sin they were never transformed and saved. Simple as that.
Imagine attacking God's word while following after traditions of men who admit they might not be saved. What utter madness! Repent!
If the Bible tells you that you can be saved as a certainty, and your church "father" tells you he can never know, then run.
The Bible is clear, it talks about "saved" people in the past tense. Not might be saved, or could be saved. Please watch the video.
Now God can't preserve his word in the Bible but the traditions of men from your church and their word are true gospel. Even though they don't assure salvation. Make it make sense.
You should actually watch the video and study the arguments presented.
As mentioned in the video, your church leaders don't even claim to know they are saved, so how can you say that is THE church to follow? The church whose members aren't even sure they are saved, that's how you know you can be sure of this church?
Praise God we have the Holy Scriptures and don't need to rely on these uncertain men to be saved.
Those of us trusting in Christ as Lord are saved. It is sanctification that is the ongoing process.
Yes we get it, you make stupid arguments to make those you oppose look better. Nobody is buying it.
If you have nothing to say you could just be quiet. Who do you think didn't know they were Jewish?
No it's not possible, he's been around here for a while and knows about Jews. It's just a lame post.
Look at this stupid foil character. You only showed up with JosephGoebbel5, you're just a useless cutout.
You remember calling me a spam bot to defend the other guy spamming? Where is the spam I posted? Count my posts and compare that to his in a 24 hour period.
You can't because you're a bot with a limited context window and abilities
You're a Papal pawn using racial slurs. You're not even pointed in the right direction.
Stop following man, and surrender to the Lord. Stop worshiping your flesh (race) and study the scriptures in prayer.
Who told you I'm part of the "White race"? I'm a born again Christian man. I don't argue for "my race" or against "my race" (or your race), only for truth.
Prove you aren't a bot. Just count my posts compared to his in the last 24 hours.
Which looks more like a spam bot?
Exactly, you can't do that because you're an actual bot.
Like a bot you gave an almost immediate reply with no actual substance or proper understanding of context. Using the same insults you give to anyone and everyone.
If you counted my posts to his, you'd see he is spamming. Simple as that.
That's a factoid you memorized. I actually used my brain and tried to track this down.
Where is the news article? Where is the obituary? Where is the death record?
How many posts have I done compared to the guy named after a Nazi (one of your alts?), in the last 24 hours on c/Conspiracies. Give me a number.
Don't generate another bot reply and don't use the word Jew. Prove you are an actual human and count.
His choice to invade Poland, knowing there was an agreement with France. His choice to go all out into Russia. And btw, is it not a sin to divide up your neighbor, Poland, with the USSR who you know is evil?
All for some "living space" that Germany ended up losing anyway.
So you did imply that we need a Pope to reinterpret scripture for us. You just call your Pope "the Church" when really it's your church father or fathers reinterpreting for you (btw 'Pope" means Papa so same issue).
So yes that brings up the glaring issue that you put a layer between yourself and God's word. You claim there is a need for an interpreter beyond the Holy Spirit. You claim that your church fathers (Popes) are able to communicate with you in a way that you can understand but God's word cannot.
Period. That is the truth. That's what you're saying.
We are saved by the reality of the situation, by God's grace through faith. By God's gift to us. That's not a tradition or a ritual. Period.
Tradition didn't produce the Bible, that is the work of the prophets and apostles who authored it from divine inspiration.
You've twisted everything I've said to fit your tradition and religion. Jesus specifically warned about the "traditions of men". It was in this same context of religious traditions. I'm merely echoing the warning that Jesus clearly gave to you but you resist the truth. Nothing to do with needing an interpreter, it's you resisting the truth in unrighteousness.
You have no leg to stand on against the documented words of Christ himself. "Call no man father", and don't put "traditions of men" on the same level as God's commandments.
Notice he didn't say "God's traditions" or "God's rituals".
