Redpill me on true christianity

My family was newer religious, newer cared much myself, but I think Im having an existential crisis and some things that Jesus said are appealing, where do I start?
People tell me protestants are best because catholic church is corrupt and I agree, a lot of corruption here linked to the church. How do I become protestant anyway?

The concept of Chosen people:
So what are the Chosen people? Originally it were the descendent of Abraham>Isaac>Jacob by blood. With Christ however everyone who believes in and follows him is heir to the promise of given to Abraham.
However the meaning of "chosen" I believe is widely misrepresented. For example the "Chosen people cant do wrong, everything they do is the will of God and totally ok and anyone opposing them will be cursed" is just some pilpul probably coming from the Talmud. Chosen means chosen to spread the word of God across the world. Chosen to display the glory of God through your own deeds and letting them know your father through you. Chosen to lead as a good example.
>9There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, first for the Jew, then for the Greek; 10but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, first for the Jew, then for the Greek. 11For God does not show favoritism.
Meant to be that good example we are the first to be rewarded, so that other people see the mercy and generousity of God, but we are also the first to be punished when doing wrong, so the others see what misbehavior leads to and because it would be Hypocritical to tolerate with your own people what they do while punishing other

Also you need to consider that modern Kikes are not the Israelites/Judeans of the bible which were whites

Read the bible, pray for understanding and guidence, and do your best to find out the meaning through personal research. Dont let some churches dictate the meaning. I can drop some stuff on christianity, and if there are any question i will try to answer it

But where do I co on Sunday for mass? You say I just stay in basement and read bible?

Meet with priests and ministers of various sects, ask them questions about faith, go to services, see what makes the most sense to you

well, churches i see rather as a place to meet with likeminded people, where you can discuss and share already found knowledge of the scripture, maybe get help if you have trouble understanding it or the situation you are in. Maybe even organize and create something together to help people.
But to find like minded people you first must know what your mind is like, finding out what the bible tells you and then decide for a denomination that is closest

Im afraid I will be wrong. I made many mistakes in my reasoning before in life. If I pick the wrong one it will be hell.
Can I just get the truth and follow it?

>Redpill me on true christianity
what do you wanna know about Catholicism, then?

We are meant to love everyone unconditionally. But if your child is about to harm himself, dont you stop it and discipline it?
>10Our fathers disciplined us for a short time as they thought best, but God disciplines us for our good, so that we may share in His holiness. 11No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields a peaceful harvest of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
For the same reason the pacifistic and passive version of Christianity that commonly taught everyhwere is contrary to all that is preached. All throughout the OT God punished the evil and discplined them, Jesus chased out the money changers from the Temple and in the end will destroy all evil.
You need to view the sermon on the mount from Gods perspective. We constantly sin against him, insult and anger him, if he wouldnt turn the other cheek we would be long gone.
>23Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Lord GOD. Wouldn’t I prefer that he turn from his ways and live?
If I constantly take revenge in the name of justice the family/friends will avange him for which your people will avenge yourself back and will continue to do so until eternity.
The only way to break this cycle is to make a sacrifice of yourself and forgive, forsake your rightful claim for the sake of starting an improvement. Eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind.
We should never act out of anger or hatred, but that does not mean to completely forsake punishment.
>But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
We can only forgive and turn the other cheek if we are the ones who are transgressed, only then we can forsake the punishment for the sake of mercy. If someone is about to murder another, you are in no position to forgive the murder and as such are required to take action

What bible should I start with? A friend told me if I dont read hebrew I will newer get the original points of the bible.

Protestantism seems "more fair" or whatever on the surface. In reality it's just a populist fork. The muh poor people is just being used as a tool to get power.

Why does everyone tell me Catholicism is the worst then?

>muh poor people is just being used as a tool to get power.
How so? I thought that Catholics were money grabbers, shit, maybe Orthodox? But thats what Serbs do I cant do that here, people will beat me.

personally i trust the greek septuagint more than the masoretic text which most bibles are based upon. From the common ones in english I came to like the Berean Study Bible, its a good mix off poetic and clear easily understandable text.

>Christianity comes from Judaism
Its actually the other way around.
Back in the day there was no Judaism, just the faith of Abraham and later the Israelites. At the time Jesus came there were 3 main sects, The Essenes (The only ones native to Judeah), the Sadduccess and the Pharisee (both being not native to Judeah).
The Pharisee are the Edomites (descendent of Amalek which the Israelites were told to genocide and which descent from the Canaanites which worshipped Moloch and such) which previously were forced to convert. However they really liked their old customs which were unlawful and thus they created the Oral Law. You know how in Court a Jew will use semantics, grey areas, loopholes and other pilpul to argue they didnt break a law which they never followed completly ignoring the intent behind the law? The Oral Law of the Pharisee is a guideline on how to do that with the OT Law.
This is the group of people pretty much all quarrels Jesus had was with and they were constantly rebuked for this by him, God himself, for being hypocrites, a brood of Vipers, even the children of the devil. Even their name describes them seperating themselves from the original
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharisees
>"Pharisee" is derived from Ancient Greek Pharisaios (Φαρισαῖος),[8] from Aramaic Pərīšā (Hebrew: פְּרִישָׁא), plural Pərīšayyā (Hebrew: פְּרִישַׁיָּא), meaning "set apart, separated"
So by all means the Pharisee splitted themselves off from the original faith which became known and was continued through Christianity and thus by all practical means was Pre-Christ-Christianity.

This Oral Law of the Pharisee then after a few 100 years got written down in the (Babylonian) Talmud starting what is now known as Judaism. So its not that Christianity is based on Judaism, but that Judaism is a collection of blasphemies and herasies of Christianity.

Thanks user, will look at these right away!

>Berean Study Bible
Whats that, first time I hear about it. btw are there some versions I should stay away from?

How does that make that affirmation true? It's not logical.

As we say in Spain: "If all your friends tell you to jump out the window, will you do so?"

>mostholyfamilymonastery.com
Sede, right?

kikes are not israelites nor semites but the Edomites that lived in judeah
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edom
>The Edomites first established a kingdom ("Edom") in the southern area
of modern Jordan and later migrated into southern parts of the Kingdom of Judah ("Idumea", or modern southern Israel/Negev)
Eventually they were forced to convert
>They were again subdued by John Hyrcanus (c. 125 BC), who forcibly converted them, among others, to Judaism

And around that same time the Pharisee that follow the oral law come around
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharisees
>The Pharisees preserved the Pharisaical oral law in the form of the Talmud
like we have today the kikes follow the Tal Mud and which was repeatedly rebuked by Jesus, telling them they are children of Satan.

Now Edomites are the descendents of Essau, the brother of Jacob/Israel who decided to wage war his brother and his people.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edom
>The Hebrew word Edom means "red", and is derived from the name of its founder Esau

Now to do this Essau joined Amalek
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amalek
>According to the Bible, Amalek was the son of Eliphaz (himself the son of Esau, ancestor of the Edomites)

Which thus, together with Essau became the Edomites (plus a couple other things mixed in likely).
The Amalek are known as Israels nemesis and who fits the whites nemesis better than the kikes? The Amalek are a canaanite tribe. Canaan is the son of Ham who was one of the three sons of Noah (Abraham coming from Shem, S(h)emites). Now the Hamites are traditionally black and indeed canaans curse hints to him becoming a slave like the blacks did. Furthermore i believe the biblical first black (can go into this) was Cain, who himself was the son of Eve and the serpent. This is the line of kikes, those that say they are jews, but are liars instead. The Synagogue of Satan and they came through the Hamitic line, thus are basically white skinned niggers

Hell yeah itss Germanabro, my favorite poster.

ok fair enough, im sorry, just confused. So you say that Catholic is only way to go, what about Protestant and Orthodox then, they go to hell? Shit man, if you make a wrong choice its really terminal. Im afraid for my soul

from Flavius Josephus
documentacatholicaomnia.eu/03d/0037-0103,_Flavius_Josephus,_De_Bello_Judaico,_EN.pdf
>2. For there are three philosophical sects among the Jews. The followers of the first of which are the Pharisees; of the second, the Sadducees; and the third sect, which pretends to a severer discipline, are called Essens. These last are Jews by birth, and seem to have a greater affection for one another than the other sects have.

so the closest relation the kikes have to the israelites is through Esau who mixed himself into the canaanites

Esau originally had the birthright to take over the tribe as a first born. However after a day of work on the field he went inside and asked his brother for something to drink or eat, for which Jacob demanded Esaus birthright. Esau agreed, and thus got what he wanted and Jacob got the birthright from Esau. However after this Esau wanted it back, Jacob didnt want to return it, and thus Esau parted from his family, joined a canaanite tribe that became known as Amalek (the Israelites nemesis) to wage war on Jacob/Israel. These eventually (likely with a couple others mixed into) became the Edomites which are todays Kikes. And to this day they still demand the birthright back from Israel (The white man). Their hate of whites is actually envy, they want what we have. Thats why they undergo plastic surgery to appear more european, take on germanic last names and yiddish is even just some fake german. They try to genocide whites so that they can take their position of chosen people they believe they inherited from Esau, without anyone else being left to rightfully claim that position.

Other than the kikes however Esau made up with Jacob/Israel again eventually, but (((they))) refuse to follow the lead to this day.

forgot to add, that in the end all versions generally spread the correct message from what i saw if you read it with an honest mind. Some just make it easier to apply pilpul

When you start a new fork/religion you get a lot of power you otherwise wouldn't have had. Martin Luther for example used it as an excuse to marry with a nun and one of his main bishops had many wives.
It's exactly like in politics - you act like you care about the worker class and organize a communist revolution, but the real intent is just to use it to get power.

Will I go to hell if I pick wrong form of Christianity though?

It's just Jewish tricks anyway you look at it. Anyone who says otherwise is a kike or a bluepilled best goy. Use your brain.

If you go down the path of believing in the 'Holy Spirit' and that Jesus died for your sins, you've already lost.

Focus on what Jesus taught, and ignore all the magic and mysticism that Paul and the gospel writers made up later.

Jesus taught selfless action, not selfish emotion. He believed that heaven and hell are earthly states of mind and that selfless action is how God manifests himself on earth. Eternal life is your legacy for your family and nation. He did not ever claim to be god other than in the sense that we are all god-like if we just act like it.

All the other magical jew shit will make you a Christian, but not a follower of Jesus and his teachings.

Bitcoin Cash, so you are saying Luther is like Roger Ver! I hate Roger Ver...

Read the gospels (first four books of the new testament).
Then start back at the beginning.

Protestantism is inherently flawed because they literally changed the fundemental beliefs of salvation. Protestants believe that by faith alone you are saved but catholics believe that fath and action guided by faith. Translation: it's not gold enough to just believe you have to act like it too. And protestants deny the divinity of Mary (Catholics don't worship her as they do God but rather ee understand that by God's grace she has been made holy and we pray to her to pray to God for us), they have thousands of denominations that don't agree and most of them historically started for political reasons (best example english protestantism started because their king hated listening to the pope)

In modern times almost every denomination of christianity is political and corrupt in a way, even protestants are loke this with their televangelisation and charging money to atend mass. Funfact the KKK started as a sect of protestantism.

So if all denominations are corrupt and different you might be thinkinh why would you ever become christian. Simple, because you know the message of Christ to be truth. You dislike the behaviour of mankind, not the divine truth of Christ.

"I am a catholoc nit because it's the church I like most. I'd be a protestant if I followed what I like most, but I am a catholic because theirs is the church that is right"

This is the fastest way to atheism.

Paul and Gospels are bad? wtf Im so confused now
read the gospels...but...wait..
Catholics bad, check, but this guy said they are not

>reading what Jesus did is the way to atheism
Uh. Okay bud.

pic related

all you have to do is believe that Jesus Christ is God, that is the word and the truth. Meaning you must realize your own errors and believe/realize Gods teachings and morality are true and correct.
you dont need to understand really the reasons for these, nor do you need to uphold them perfectly, but realizing that his teachings are good even if they preach against something that you like yourself. And realizing his gospel to be the truth subsequently means you at least try to not transgrass his law as you dont want evil to spread.
So I believe as long as you try your best and genuinly admit your faults you will be all right.

>Translation: it's not gold enough to just believe you have to act like it too.
Ok that makes sense...but they did not like that church was charging gold for forgiveness of sins, right, that action seems like its something a true believer would not do, maybe their resent was justified?
>I am a catholic because theirs is the church that is right
But they did make some major oupsies that were wrong, what about borgia popes

>what about Protestant and Orthodox then, they go to hell?
Yes. Maybe it worked for people who never heard of Catholicism, and followed Jesus throught the local religious tradition (i.e. Orthodoxy in Serbia or Russia; Anglicanism for UK...). But if you have to choose, I'd still suggest Catholicism.

>Im afraid for my soul
You shouldn't join Catholicism just out of mere fear. God is like a father (we call him "father", hehe).

There is a difference between a father who is respected by his family bc they fear him ("oh., no. I did sth wrong. He will kick me") or bc hey love him ("Oh no, I did sth wrong. Please, forgive me").

look at the orthodox church

>all you have to do is believe that Jesus Christ is God
Thats it? I just have faith and I am saved...but what about actions like Croat guy said?
>it's not gold enough to just believe you have to act like it too

What about the thief on the cross with Jebus who accepted him as his lord even though he didn't have a whole lot of good things to do but was still saved while the thief that rejected him went to to hell

>You shouldn't join Catholicism just out of mere fear
Love is there, now the fear is that I will make a wrong choice out of ignorance and that choice will cost me.

well he did say he accepts him, that is sort of action, no? he did not just believe and stayed quiet..i dont know man, everything makes sense Im even more confused.

Why? They should be the worst, serbs do that.

I understand, then. Well, keep investigating, my friend. The fact that you seek Jesus is a very good start. Be loyal to him.

even in the three year ministry of Christ while He was on this Earth there were those who were spreading false gospels of Jesus
the pope is a heretic, even many catholics do not like the current pope but still call themselves catholics because "thats what they were raised in"

God doesnt want religion, he wants your faith in His Son and what He did for you and I on the cross

do not look at denominations look at Jesus Christ

Acts 16:30-33 King James Version (KJV)
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

Do you think that non catholics will go to hell though?

>please take the time to watch this video and get saved my friend
youtu.be/CLTAqJavYZU

Wait, but this guy is brown!

>but what about actions like Croat guy said?
as i said, proper faith makes you realize what God told you to do is good and right, and subsequently you will try to do these things because they are good and right, and not for any blessing or salvation, but simply because its the right thing to do. Proper faith results in the works.

>he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
So, Jesus brought Lazarus back from the dead to show the Glory of God. Many jews became believers, but some ratted him out to the Pharisees, who were more interested in preserving their nation than in believing in God. They then proceeded to plot his death. They loved their land and nation more than God.

As I wrote (), it's more complicated than "Catholic good, non-Catholic bad"). More like, Catholic good, non-Catholic, depends.

But leave that aside. I am talking about people who are born in places where they don't know Catholicism. You are Croatian, so that is not your case, am I right? So, becoming a non-Catholic would be a mistake for you, in my opinion.

Why we need Jesus Christ:

When a Christian says you are going to hell unless you believe its not meant to be demeaning or insulting, nor is it meant to portray themselves as better or even as Saints. In fact its quite the opposite. Its a display of compassion that they care for what happens to you. It is meant to tell you that we ALL are sinners, no matter how small, and no matter how small the sin is it is grounds for damnation.
>23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

In fact God wouldnt even need a reason to send us into oblivion if he desires to, we are his regardless and he can do as he pleases
>19One of you will say to me, “Then why does God still find fault? For who can resist His will?” 20But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to Him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?”g 21Does not the potter have the right to make from the same lump of clay one vessel for special occasions and another for common use?
>22What if God, intending to show His wrath and make His power known, bore with great patience the vessels of His wrath, prepared for destruction? 23What if He did this to make the riches of His glory known to the vessels of His mercy, whom He prepared in advance for glory
However it is because he loves us, despite our faults and errors, our blasphemies and aggression against him, that our existence can still be justified, through Gods love and mercy. Without this EVERY Christian would be just as damned. This is the great difference between believers and non believers, as we realized our faults and admit them and try to overcome them instead of masking them as "natural" or "normal" and endulge ourselves into it further. All God desires is that we recognize and choose the truth, that is Jesus Christ, over the lie no matter how comforting the lie is. Choose good over evil by choosing to follow Christ and accept his salvation

>7So He said to them again, “Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8All who came before Me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture. 10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.
>11I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. 12The hired hand is not the shepherd, and the sheep are not his own. When he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf pounces on them and scatters the flock. 13The man runs away because he is a hired servant and is unconcerned for the sheep.
>14I am the good shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me, 15just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep. 16I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them in as well, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd.
Do you recognize the voice of Jesus, that is the truth in his teachings,? Do you feel called by those and chose to follow them? Then you are on the right path and very likely one of his sheep.

So "why do good at all if the deeds dont do anything" you may ask. Because we love God and are thankful for everything he did, and as such we want to do what pleases him out of gratitude and our love for him. Also because we are meant to love everyone, even our enemies, unconditionally, and thus want everyone and everything to be well, because you love them, and what God told us is good is good for everyone and everything that we love.
>19Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body
If you love God you worship and praise him. And its the temple in which the worship and the sacrifices are done. So this body is the temple in which and through which we should worship our Father, not because we must, Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice after which no other is required anymore, but because we want. And these sacrifices are our energy, our time, even ourselves, by using these to do what God wants us to do, to do good, because we love him.

>21Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!
You see here they basically tried to get their way into heaven through their good deeds instead of just doing them because they are the right thing to do.

>"What about borgia popes"
This is in fact a hate forthe behaviour of chrostians instead of the gosple, the interpretation of the gosple has jot changed even if most chrostians misbehave, if it did it would be a new denomination.
You in fact are acting like a christian is supposed to, I too hate the behaviour of bad christians pretending to be peious.

You don't hate the church or it's teachings, you hate the coruption and evil actions of man. Follow the teachings of Christ, and use the church to answer theological questions you don't understand. At the end of the day it's more important you behave like Christ taught, not what political sect you bellong to. I recommend catholicism because it's the denomination that understands the gosple best. Even using money to build up the church was mentioned by Christ (the event when perfume was poured on Him)

Youll never get a proper answer because all forms of christianity are trash and jewed from the start.

Im confused, they all give me great answers. I would not say trash, problem is they all make sense.

Matthew-Revelation
Ezekiel-Malachi
(Don't bother with Lamentations first time reading)
Genesis-Exodus
Joshua-1 Kings (maybe 2 kings just read through the stuff with David on your first read through)
Job-Ecclesiastes
Finish with Isaiah-Jeremiah

2nd read through you can pick up wherever you want or read from start to finish.

Does it even matter if I am catholic, orthodox or protestant in the end?

Reminder that we can trace the rise of the western world directly to the obediance of The Law of God and see it crumbling not even a decade after we started completly ignoring it.

They all make sense because they all preach the truth of Christ. Denomination only means how you will answer theological questions

Example: are saints holy?
Prots: no it's idol worship
Orthodox and catholic: yes, ther are regular people made holy by the grace of God and we worship what God did for them

What matters only is of you were true to the teachings of Christ

So you are not a fan of ethnic sentiment we share on this board and concern for European peoples birth rates?

Just follow the teachings mate.

It's ok to be confused.

When this thread is deleted, take what you have learnt and revise everything. Pray about it.

Going to different churches can be useful. But don't you just seek a comfortable place. Do they make sense in that church when they talk? If they don't do good things sometimes (bc every church is made of men, who are sinners), why is that? Is it bc of their religion, or bc they are simply being bad?

What if I think Jesus was a man who had really good understanding of reality but people could not get on his level of understanding and it confused them?

Amen

Ethnic sentiment is a meme that has never stood the test of time.
A Nation is anointed by God, not by seed.

to believe in God is to believe in the word and teachings. They all have a slightly different word/interpretation they follow so you could argue they follow different gods. However as I said I believe it in the end is important that you choose goodness over evil, your spirit over your flesh, and try your best to act accordingly, symbolized by taking Christ as God. I believe if you do this then God will forgive small errors you make regarding the understanding if the effort and faith behind is was genuine.

In the 90s it mattered here, if you were catholic or orthodox it could be life or death issue, also there war wars between protestants and catholics, right? It makes me think that its not just so casual when people gave their lives for it...
I want the truth, all of it, theological and belief. I want the right way, right bible, right church.
