Ex-Bellarmite // having fun (kinda) // hoping to make it make sense
Joined March 2025
I'm once again begging Catholics not to use the most obtuse and fallacious reasoning. 1. Purgatory doesn't cleanse one of Original Sin. 2. People who live a pious life, and don't have temporal sins to pay, have no need to go to purgatory (despite having the stain of OS).
So you die a sinner. And in heaven, youβre without sin. That means there must be some process between death and heaven to cleanse the sin?.

Good freakin' night, this is a terrible "update".

Friendly reminder that the Confession of Dositheus teaches that Hereditary Sin (i.e. Original Sin) makes one subject to eternal judgment. Don't let @KingMic92357513 fool you as to the truth about Orthodox teaching.
If the conclusion of this book comes to the Latin definition which comes out to be Original Guilt, this book is already a failure and needs to be rejected.

I firmly believe in the Perpetual Virginity of Kaleb of Atlanta.

Except it's quite obvious Jude thinks Enoch is Canon.
@cory_casual Jude references Enoch even more explicitly. Doesnβt make it canon.

Knowing @TheProtestantP, this was obviously a joke.

Except Calvinism isn't compatible with the Bible.
This is how I know Calvinism is trueβIt actually provides answers for these tough questions where alternative theologies donβt. Iβd hate to think that we live in a world where God πππ'π in absolute control.

"I just listen to the Church Fathers, bro!". Ok, so you're a Donatist (Irenaeus), Subordinationist (Justin and Theophilus), 66-book canonist (Athanasius and Jerome) who believes Abortion is only a venial sin (Augustine)?.

Maybe if you read Bellarmine you'd realize that he gets this idea from Gregory of Nyssa, who thinks Volcanoes are a sign that hell is beneath us.
Ok, you may still be unconvinced of purgatory and the corporality of its fire. But have you heard Bellarmine's volcano argument yet? π

The fact that this is a debated subject shows how arbitrary the dogma of the assumption really is.
Did Mary die an earthly death AND THEN assume into heaven? . OR . Did God allow Mary to skip death and assume straight into heaven?.

Jehovah's Witnesses have a more plausible hermeneutic to Scripture than Presbyterians and Reformed Baptists.

If you can't give a rational defense of your beliefs, don't threaten people with the notion of Eternal hellfire. To do so lacks all virtue.

Marcion moment?.
The most anti-semitic book I've ever read is the OT. In it, the Jews are presented as such faithless, incompetent, and immoral failures that they have to be repeatedly genocided by foreigner rules to bring them back into line. It's almost like they weren't the actual author. .

While Craig is very smart, he's also incredibly biased (he lacks a lot of self awareness).
Looks like @Craig_Truglia is casting aspersions on the Zeitoun apparitions. If the apparitions are true, that would fundamentally undo the Eastern Chalcedonian claim to be the One True Church. After all, why would the Theotokos show favor to a "heretical"/"schismatic" church?

Here me out: Penal Substitutionary Atonement has never been the Gospel (nor can it ever be).

The mystery of Scripture is that we share in Christ's glory. We become adopted sons. Adopted sons share in equal glory with natural sons. In other words, God gives us the glory that he gave Jesus.
