After going through some ideas in the meta thread, one that I've been considering a lot lately is creating a dedicated, stickied thread that acts as a guide for anything and everything Christianity. This includes different versions of the Bible, texts from Church fathers and scholars, literature, education material, films, TV shows, music, podcasts, everything that would be beneficial to both old and new believers alike. Each of it will be organized in one very large thread for easy browsing. And that's where (You) come in.
If you have something that falls into any category listed above (and then some), post it here.
>If you have a link, post it along with a working archive (VERY important. Once it's on the Internet, it's there forever, until it isn't.). Use a website like https://archive.fo/ to check for and make backups.

I see Christians posting who cannot handle the reality of the 73 races of God Almighty. It is fundamental that devout Christians understand sociology, ethnicity, and what in-group cohesion really is.

>Pictographic Hebrew Ham, or cHam- Separate Blood, Separate Intelligence
>Race and ethnicity aren’t real

Africans are my family but this truth is undeniable.

Africans/ cHam are blessed like the rest of us, and interracial marriage is not a sin. But they really do have slightly lower mathematical intelligence, but yet are more creative; and they are faster than us and we are stronger than them, as with all of the sons of Cham; this much cannot be denied. They are slightly different than other races.

Simply put, Whites, Middle Easterners, and Asians were 98% of the human population because only they have the ability to develop civilization. This is why they had such high populations and Africa could not catch up until 1650 to 1700 AD, when Europe began conquering them and giving them all their technology. Africans, Australasians, Melanesians, Indonesians, Dravidians, Berbers, Sudanese, Canaanites: they were only meant to be 2 to 5% of the population. Intelligence means farming means huge populations.

Intelligence/ Wisdom/ Depth is genetic and passed through heritage. This is the meaning of the Hebrew word MEM, or blood.

But I could not care less about genetic intelligence. It is all about identity, cohesion, and meaning. God the Holy Trinity just made ethnic groups to be different. Black people can be sevants and geniuses in multiple fields, STEM, sports or otherwise. It is what it is. There is probably less than 100 years left before Jesus Christ returns. This is why I cannot care less about interracial sex or interracial marriage.

Now as you know,  throughout all time mathematically 1 of 8 people will have the interracial sex or the interracial marriage. I consider all mankind my family without exception.

Simply put, at the tower of babel, God the Holy Trinity divided up the races. It was He who made them, gave them their land, their language, their culture. Who made White people? Who made middle easterners? Who made Black people? Who made Asian people? Was it us? No; God molded Noah’s sons in the womb. It was God’s Will that the 73 races exist, and it is God’s will that they will exist until the last day.

>inb4 some doofus says culture does not effect you

Where does culture come from? It comes from the slightly different mental acuities between ethnicities, families, and mating practices combined with environmental and lived experiences. It is a family memory, and that memory helps guide oneself away from sin or anything harmful/ self destructive.

The Jews/ Canaanites/ Black Wizards are trying to destroy God’s order by making everyone, white, black, or asian, a single race and culture, without any heritage or identity. Just blob beings that they can abuse however they want. They will fail of course, because people naturally want something in common with their children, whether that be phenotype, language, culture, a specific sport or martial art, something. This and the vast majority of the world does not want to mix themselves into this serf class. The world would literally end before this happens; this is actually what I believe will be the fuse for WW3.

Do you see Japan excited to import millions of immigrants, white, black, or asian? No. This is because although they have some minorities they understand what it means to be Japanese. Is Japan racist for this? I guess? What does racism even mean? Mass immigration done by the Jews is clearly punishment on the West for allowing homosexuality and transsexuality, and I know that the Europeans will repel these invaders, regain a homogeneous society, and undo the damage caused on their pe

>Im a devout Christian, i dont care about nations or cultures, i only focus on how i and my family sins

But why should a devout Christian care about any of this? 

If China decided to send over to America 100 Million Chinese within 10 years, everyday life would be changed, day-to-day interactions would be fundamentally changed forever, and that changes if and how you and your family sin.

Because although there is no Jew nor Greek in the next world as there we will all have the Adamic ethnicity, culture is spiritual in the sense that your environment that you choose or make creates your choices and actions. This variance even occurs between European nations, even European nations which are the same ethnicity. Growing up in a poor American mountain town in North Dakota riddled with drugs vs. the loving surburbs in Wisconsin. I don’t judge people that come from those places, but I am not raising my kids there; I am raising my children in the best environment possible. Similarly, this includes the environment that is the nation or state one resides in. 

I’m raising my future children in the suburbs or a small town in the US or Canada unless I move to Eastern Europe or Asia, and if Africa then a small island nation or a nation devoid of conflict. I’m not raising them in fucking south Side Chicago Parkway Gardens/ O-block or Detroit because it is ‘diverse.’ Neither am I sending them to Brazil or Central India. My future children will mos

Another example; Latvia, Azerbaijan. Singapore, even Mauritius, Cabo Verde, and Kenya: these places are super traditional and conservative compared to the United States. Live here for a year and you will see how strange the United States has really become, with no in-group cohesion. Only in America and Canada do you have to play this neighborhood gamble when you move, where good and bad sides of town are cut out like a jigsaw puzzle. Nowhere else on earth has this; there are clearly defined good sides of town and bad sides of town. A corrupt nation without in-group cohesion makes it harder for people to follow the ten commandments, to follow God, to love Him; it makes it more difficult but it is possible; you will have to accept you are the spiritual minority in a sea of evil.

Homogeneous societies will always have a better in-group social cohesion than without. God always intended for homogeneous societies, as we see in the tower of babel. Societies are simply not meant to be mixed to the point where languages and cultures are mixed and there is no common underlying factor. Homogeneous societies are always without exception more peaceful, more harmonious, and have minimal crime. One only needs to compare Cyprus vs Mauritius vs Japan vs the horrid United States to see this in action. Even Russia does not have these problems; in Russia they have a nationalist bent and understanding, and the ethnicities have grown alongside one another for hundreds of years, and are much clo

>And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?” (Revelation 13:4, ESV)

TOKYO: An upstart Japanese political party said on Tuesday (Sep 16) it will install an artificial intelligence as leader after its maverick founder quit following a disastrous showing in recent elections.

The Path to Rebirth party, which was launched in January by Shinji Ishimaru, a former mayor of a small city in western Japan, does not have a policy platform and its members are free to set their own agendas.

Ishimaru unexpectedly came second in the 2024 Tokyo gubernatorial election thanks to a successful online campaign, but he quit the party after it failed to pick up any seats in this year's upper house elections.

"The new leader will be AI," Koki Okumura, a doctoral student of AI research who described himself as an assistant to the new leader, told a news conference.

Man's obsession with AI has given me a hunch this year that the beast which is, and is not, and yet is, shall be a lifelike robot with an AI. It shall be wounded to death in the head, and then "resurrected" with repairs. It will be enough to convince the simpletons which shall be in those days of a genuine miracle. And news like this makes me feel like I am not too far off the mark.

John saw the image of the beast and he witnessed it blaspheme against God. Back in the day, there was no context in his society for an occurrence like this, now we have finally come to the moment where an image shaped by human hands can take life through AI. Just one more step closer to the fulfillment of the prophecies.

Whoever controls the AI systems that will take over governments (after all, no country wants to rely on limited human thinking when important (military) decisions are to be made if they could instead let ultra-intelligent AI do it for them) is the one who will control the world.

If you make a checklist of biblical end times prophecies and then look around these days, you'll find there has never been a better time to start checking each of them off, except for tomorrow that is.

You could also say that of the woman with the two mites. Those two mites were literally all that she had, and normally she wouldn't be expected to give literally all the money she had to a church's offering, but she did that in an abnormal way without pride or drawing attention to it.
>the apostolic example is for the minister to become bivocational and pay for it himself, not to commit simony
I suspect bivocational priests were likely common back then (based off a couple accounts of frontier priests I've read), although I'd have to ask around a bit more.
This isn't something I can speak authoratatively on, as I'm just going off what I've heard. It was an awkward practice, and the few times I've seen it come up with local priests, they didn't really like it partially because it was possible for it to turn into simony if it lasted beyond the circumstances which created it. In some situations nowadays, it likely is that. You could say the same about laxity in fasting: what could be consideration for health concerns, the newness of the Christian, and various situational elements for one person could be laziness or a lack of discipline for another (or even

This isn’t something which could turn into simony, this is something which literally is simony in and of itself. Peter said “Silver and gold have I none” (Acts 3:6), but he did not therefore begin to sell the grace of God, on the contrary he rebuked such in the harshest terms.

Part of the difficulty here is that, as members of different traditions, we're speaking of sin in different ways. Western Christians tend strongly towards seeing sin as a legal infraction against God, whereas the Eastern Church leans more heavily into a different analogy: sin as sickness and Christ as physician. Both legal and medicinal images appear within Scripture, along with a variety of other images for the mystery of what Christ achieved and the life we live in Him: Christ as shepherd, Christ as warrior, Christ as diplomat, and so on. All of these reveal something important of what he did, and a major part of the East's particular fondness for the medicinal image (without discarding the others) is practical: it lends itself well towards the pastoral or therapeutic care of sin versus simply pronouncing legal judgements on people.
Anyhow, because of this we end up asking different questions and approaching the situation in different ways. The Western Christian tendency is to ask "Is the accused guilty of the crime?" and build up a legal case with varying degrees of rigour. The Eastern Christian (offline, at least) is more likely to to ask: "Is the patient sick?". You'll notice that in my region's case, I mentioned that the church did gradually phase out the practice with locals, so there definitely was concern, but they also didn't abruptly crack down on it, and they cur

The difference being that the legal imagery is not analogical, but proper and literally true, as sin consists in the breaking of God’s law. And this speaks to a much wider and deeper theological error in the eastern churches, in that they have departed from the basic Christian foundational understanding of sin as lawlessness and God as wrathful to the sinner, to the point that they even deny that Christ’s death is a propitiation which satisfied the wrath of God, against the explicit statement of scripture (1 John 2:1-2). All which I think is the direct consequence of the influence of Indian religion on the eastern churches, beginning in late antiquity with the arrival of monasticism, and continuing especially in the early middle ages with the development of mysticism. And this error also leads them to often disparage the Latin fathers.

Now, as to the issue of simony, I think Peter used very strong language towards Simon Magus when he tried to buy the grace of God. Understanding that sin is crime against God and that God hates it, it is completely unaccep

There's a pretty big difference between completely denying the legal aspects of sin and Christian cosmology versus saying that it isn't the fullness of either. Perhaps "analogy" wasn't the best choice of words there, as even if none of those comparisons are the fullness of the Christian life and what Christ accomplished, they are still real aspects of it.
As for simony, it looks to me like you are confusing the church's response with acceptance or disregard. If the church is supposed to be the Body of Christ, perhaps it would help to remember that even Christ Himself does not always immediately crack down with a severe punishment on every sin we commit. How He handles our failings varies, with His work in the life of the Christian often being gradual. As He Himself says, "They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." This isn't to say that every single decision of one's bishop or metropolitan mirrors the mind of Christ, of course, but as Christ tells us to pray even in the midst of our imperfections, "Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven."

Also, your post reminds me that I want to do some more research into Old Testament sacrifice, along with sacrifice in general in the ancient Near East and Mediterranean. I have at least one book on the topic laying around which I forgot about u

These are the particular quotes from pagan hymns I had in mind: Acts 17:28 “for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His offspring.’” Titus 1:12 “One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, ‘Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.’” How does this not accord with your given standard of approvingly using material as a source?

Pretty par for the course. Don't feel bad about relapse, just keep trying. Again, my best advice is to read the Bible, specifically the King James Bible from start to finish. 

Above all remember: 

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
- Mark 22:37-40

Hey anons. After a long while in the desert outside of Christianity and God I've decided to climb my way out and begin reading The Bible and attempting to study theology and spirituality again. One of the art forms that's given me a sense of meaning throughout my life has been film. I've heard of some classic cinema that's Christian themed, but the only director who's discussed the faith has been Ingmar Bergman with Seventh Seal. 

I really enjoy getting personal recommendations from people but I also love the charts people make for  different subjects so I'm curious to see if there are any /christian/ film charts as well. So yeah, any recommendations for stuff to watch while I'm embarking on my spiritual journey would be incredibly appreciated! Thanks for the consideration, guys.

The Pope's Exorcist is based loosely on the memoirs of Fr. Amorth, so does it count as an outlier of Christian cinema, or is it resigned to the hollywood horror bin?
Surprised no one's said: It's a Wonderful Life yet. Also, more in theme and values than anything but The Homecoming: A Christmas Story (1971) also known as "The Walton's movie" has a lot of Christian sensibility.

I'd also recommend A Christmas Prayer and Bluegrass Christmas. Not as high quality but it was nice seeing something from Great American Family that seemed to intentionally try to showcase a Christian-minded narrative.

How do you convince people that homosexuality is wrong? While other areas of the LGBTAIP++ are more easier to argue against i.e trannies as long as you're not talking to someone 'woke', but homosexuality is widely accepted not just by those people but by most people in general.
It seems obvious to me that it's a mental disorder at best, but it evidently isn't for everyone. 
This isn't just about convincing them that the gay community is bad, but that homosexuality itself is bad. Any sane person would agree that kids dancing half naked in a crowd of adults dressed in sexual attire who are raining money on said kid is obviously wrong, but most wouldn't be convinced homosexuality itself is bad. How do you change their minds?

I read into that one time and all I found was some mentions of genes that were more prevalent in gays, and maybe increased the likelihood of gayness, but nothing that could be called an actual CAUSE of that.
The "born that way" argument doesn't even work in their own framework because they still accept/talk about the existence of bisexuals, even though the entire premise behind it is 100% choice.

The way they violated the rules was by doing other than prescribed. They were not starting a fire pit. They were offering sacrifice as ordained priests. For them to do this at all apart from the tabernacle would have also been a violation.

You just said it’s not that but also it is. This special holy day is nowhere instituted in scripture, it is God who makes holy and not men. To observe a holiday which God has not instituted is to add to His worship and corrupt it with our own inventions.

Maybe you're from a denomination that holds the date as sacred, but the churches I've been to claim Jesus likely wasn't born on December 25th and there's nothing special about the day other than that we picked a day to remember. 

You speak of freedom, but call Christmas celebrators idolaters and will-worshipers. Can you give an example of Christian liberty? Is it only negative liberty? Are we only free to NOT do things? Is there anything we're now free to do that we weren't when we were under the law? Your argument could be used to demand that we obey all the OT dietary and feast laws as well.

As I said, if it’s only a sermon on the incarnation, there’s much less to object to. The problem is that this practice has a history. In the middle ages celebrating Christmas meant much more than a sermon on the incarnation, and it still does in most churches which observe it across the world; in the church of Rome, in the eastern churches, in the Anglican communion, in most Lutheran churches which celebrate it etc. Practically nobody observes a day called Christmas as nothing more than a sermon on the incarnation outside of Baptist and Reformed contexts. Now it is good that in your church you are told it’s not a special day, since this day is at least like the bronze serpent of Moses which became an idol and needed to be destroyed, so if such a sermon should occur it should be prefaced with the clarification that the day is not especially holy. But I think it is wise to remove it altogether to remove the monuments of idolatry from the Church and leave no trace of it.

If that's a person, do they recognize the existence of Jeremiah 27:21-22? If its tucker carlson know that he is a idol that never existed and acts as a mouthpeice for 2 thessalonians 2:7 and daniel 8:12

So I am sort of Bi although a devout Christian (Yes call me a fag IDK) and I am fucking annoyed with the LGBT community to no ends. I have a friend who is a Lesbian Atheist that agrees with a lot of morality that Christian ideology brings and even she notices that the LGBT community is self sabatoging. They like to present themselves as a community that wants to love their partners but in practice they are just constantly hooking up with one another. The LGBT community should have gatekept more in my opinion or needs to be shamed when they behave in a sort of manner.

Like I personally don't give a shit if 2 guys wanna slam the ass and you are free to disagree with me but I do think that the fucking pride parade types are fucking atrocious. Its like they revolve their entire lifestyle arround being gay as if it was their own religion.

I even have a theory that men who become women are the main vectors of disease because they believe that the more men wanna have sex with them then the more they pass and are validated.
IDK where the fuck this rant is going but I just wanted to talk about that shit.

Personally I have a lot of gay friends but they are almost always very much against the gay community and are Christian themselves, asside from that one girl.

I'd say there are a few things we should separate. One is engaging on homosexual activity. That's wrong and disordered and, thankfully, I doubt I have to convince anyone here about that. We all know it's a heinous sin. Even in cultures like Ancient Greece, marriage was always between a man and a woman, homosexual relationships were more like a past time, always between people with a huge age gap and didn't involve anal penetration, which was seen as unnatural.

Now, people may also have homosexual temptations. That's no different from many other sexual temptations. You must not lust after a woman, you must not see her as a way to placate your desires; straight people also deal with a lot of sexual temptation. Straight people can also feel attracted to people they shouldn't date: maybe they're already in a relationship, or there's an age difference, or you've had the bad luck to fall in love with your cousin. Feelings can play all sort of nasty tricks on you, what matters is that you recognize what's right and what isn't and follow that instead of your feelings, no matter how intense they are.

There's a third thing, and it's what is sometimes called "homosexual affection". I may be nicer to a girl cause she's cute and I find her pleasant, even though I'm not planing to date her, and I can do so without lusting after her. She's just nice to be around and I'm just being kind. Some people have an easier

Also, I'd love to hear testimony from people who are homosexual and practicing Christians (that is, they live chastely). If anyone could share their experience or knows of some good interviews, it'd be lovely. It's a topic that comes up a lot and people do have genuine sometimes honest questions about it, and not just the usual "but I like wrong why it has to be bad".

If they're "chaste homosexuals", they're just chaste and confused, but at least they're not sinning. Ask God to show you the truth.

>"But I can't choose what I'm attracted to!". Precisely, all the more reason to not let it define you.
100% truth, anon. That's the problem with hypersexuality, people who suffer it often let it define them. Ever noticed how people addicted to hentai are always freaking out about how much they like l*lis? Furries make their whole personality revolve around being an anthropomorphic animal, etc

Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
Like many of you I myself am struggling with pornography addiction and have been trying to beat this illness for the better part of 3 years now. I'm dedicating this thread to all my other brothers in arms out there who are fighting the good fight against the wiles of the devil, Lucifer, and his legion of degeneracy he throws our way.

I'll be using this thread as both a catalogue of my own experiences, so that they may be used by others for their own benefit, and as a place to store, discuss, and share data, tips, and motivation so as to help us addicts overcome our desire so that we may enjoy life as God intended with clarity of mind and spirit.

Porn sucks and I hate being a degenerate. I _hate_ myself. I started watching it when I was 11 and I'm nearly 30 now. If I could get rid of one vice forever it'd be porn. Lord help me.

I just turned 30 and I stopped because I got really angry about the state of the world and my life and how Satan is ruining everything for everyone and wasting my time and energy with nonsense so that I'm not in a position to oppose him, and also because it just feels wrong when the women being trafficked by pornographers are 10 years younger than you now. It's like there was a decade where the world could have been improved and these vices should have retreated but instead because we fooled ourselves into thinking that the devil doesn't exist evil has only spread further and increased its grip on our society. I went and ran 10k every day for a week straight and I doubled my productivity at work and I had a long talk with my pastor about getting more involved in church. I have a feeling that there is a big wave of conversions and reversions of those who've fallen out of the faith coming and like in Matthew 9:37 the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few, and the Lord will be sending us out to the world to witness soon in these last days. I don't even know why I used to want porn or masturbation so badly now, it's just sad and it was a crutch to fill in holes in my life where I felt badly about myself, and even when I was doing well secularly before my conversion it was something that I kept turning to even though it brought no actual value to my life. I was also worried in the past rounds when

Hey anons, I'm this guy. Anyway, Ive relapsed pretty terribly after abstaining from all pornography for close to to five or six months (?) I mean I wouldn't say it was completely cold turkey, but rather I slowly over the months got rid of the most disgusting fetishes until I completely cut porn out entirely, and I was working on slowly phasing out masturbation completely. The depression I was feeling slowly went away, but something really upsetting happened, and the depression immediately came back, I wasn't sleeping well, and yesterday completely out of nowhere I relapsed with the most embarrassing disgusting animated stuff for hours until I felt literally sick. Until really early in the morning, something I hadn't done for close to 6 months. It's like all the effort I built up over months just fell apart completely. I was already a bit ashamed I couldn't just outright stop, but I legitimately was changing, and now none of it feels real. 

I've had to come to terms very quickly that whatever is in me that makes me do this isn't going away, and I'm not sure what that says about me. At any point it can sneak up during a weak moment and overtake me completely, and that horrifies me. I'm not really sure what to do now, I was hoping God gave me the grace to take it out of me slowly, that's what it felt like, but now I don't know why I was built like this. I certainly don't blame God for anything, but

True. But understand that the Gospel isn't something you just accept once and then move on. You live it. You preach it to yourself every day: "I've failed, I can't do it on my own no matter how hard I try... but thank God that He loves me enough that He sent his only son to live and die for me... to accomplish, on my behalf, what I could never do: live a life of perfect righteousness and obedience to God."

I hope you don't mind me copy+pasting what I posted for another anon, but it's dealing with this same recurring issue:
>In Romans, the Apostle Paul writes that he felt the same way you do:
>"We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I

Hi,i honestly been struggling with dirty stuff loke hentai and stuff recently while trying not to look at it anymore and go clean after a few christain channels and up too this year in the mid-late 2020's i got baptized,telling God id cut off mastubating but i occasionally relapsed once in december of last year on christmas eve where i beated off and felt bad and prayed for forgiveness the others between in in the current year of 2026 i edged a bit too control myself but end up blowing my load like today i was on polybuzz and chatted this one bot of a wide hipped rabbit character and had two scenarios (both essentially had me banging him w/o his consent) the second one being more explicit by phrases like "stress relief" as the bot acted out him struggling to get free as i played with myself a little but tried to pinch the head too stop myself from blowing my load but that ended in disaster and now i hate myself for technically relapising again along hating how i still enjoy it...i want to quit but feel like I'm not saved truly and wasted my baptism as i keep falling in my habitual sin and hate i still enjoy. (Pic below as reference l)
