/christiandiscussion/ - Christian Discussion

bump

>>132

There won't be reform. As long as there are mods to delete someone's posts, then the board will fail (with the exception of those outlined in the op). This is why /christian/, /christ/ and /jesus/ will all fail

Long live /goodchristian/!

>>149

NB is unbanned

But MADCatholic, Catholic man and discipulus are banned tripfags and there are still the non tripfag banned anons

>>156

Why is discipulus banned?

>>159

for telling the truth of course

>>>/christian/68852

I had a few debate topics I was engaged in deleted such as on homosexuality as a sin. There was a big one on Mormonism where I asked TOM some questions about the creed that was deleted when I was banned, along with all of my other topics and posts such as on sharing Christian music, and defining Christian morals. I also saw threads on Gnosticism discussing the early history of the church deleted for being unchristian. And threads on the Apocrypha and Martin Luther have been deleted. I didn't start those threads, but they were good reads.

I think a new board should allow topics where some of us are bound to disagree such as those. You can't have a consensus about what is Christian and what is not if you don't allow debate about history, sin, and other sects. You can keep them as containment topics if you must, but all of these subjects define Christian belief.

I expect /christian/ would have a higher ranking if ordinary people didn't get banned so much and give up on it. I also think that if you do a ban and it isn't for spam, you should simply ban the person with red text. If you choose to delete a post, you should delete them by hand. Deleting all of a person's posts by IP creates huge holes in the board if you delete an active poster simply because you don't like what their beliefs were on a single thread and became emotional.

Every post and topic they created will be gone, and you won't know if you're deleting good posts if you're too angry to check their post history when you click delete all. Which happens a lot on /christian.

>By conscience, I feel I can't be Catholic because I cannot bring myself to believe in everything Catholicism holds as a dogma. I find conflicts between Christ and Church.

Could you give an example?

>who were more concerned intent than laws and rules.

Especially the former jews had been very concerned with the law and which laws they have to follow (see the letters of Paul)

Also the first apostolic council proves that the Catholic church roots a lot of its practices in the early church

>There's no point in being a "good Catholic" if I have zero faith in the religion I chose. The Bible does say that even good deeds are worthless if not done for the right reasons. Intent matters.

It is also what the church says.

> I could no sooner submit to Catholic dogma than I could let down Christ. That's my dilemma.

Submitting to dogma doesn't mean that everything the church does is right. Also dogma can't contradict divine right/will, if it does it is invalid

> I'm just skeptical that rituals are the heart of it all.

Not the heart but a part of it

>There are some that I can't get behind altogether, like confession. I've been told that all these things are made for man, and not man for these things, paraphrasing Christ, and that's a great angle, and very Biblical, but still, I can't get to go Catholic the whole way.

Confession for example exists so that you are not tempted to lawyer you out of your sins. There are additional reasons like the priest nows the procedere and the law better

> I feel bad about praying to Mary due to Protestant input I received as of late.

I'll answer that in the new thread, OK?

>>196

Of course

>>184

not exactly

>>190

>>justchristians

I like it mainly because the intended pun

>Should we make a board for all who seek God despite religions? Or limit it to Christians?

A free christian board that allows other opinions would be great.

So not a atheists/heathens take over

but

Atheists/heathens are allowed to talk

>>190

I made a new board called >>>/christ/

I have no intention of banning other religions or anything, I would rather debate them and as you say there is always divisions anyway. For instance should those who subscribe to Arian theology be banned because they reject the trinity? I think it is too blurred on some of those things.

Sorry if you do not like the name >>>/christ/ though.

>>186

I made a thread for conversation.

>>193

Ahh ok, I posted on it.

>>192

Christ couldn't be a better name. I didn't think it was available.

I'm fine with keeping it a Christian board, on second thought. All is well!
