Matthew 22
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. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 'On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.'

Galatians 5
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.'

the music thread is gone so I'm posting these by themselves instead. At my assembly today it was reminded that ALL the law is fulfilled and HANGS on the commandment of love. How much do we make sure we're right with the law and doing the right thing and we ignore the actual focus of God and his will from the beginning his commandment. Death experiences have told us of the great love when in the light of God. Many of us have known moments when we have been put in front of God's love and how much we want to live in it forever and how much we will live in it forever.

>nobody posts Bach
I will give you lads a crash course to get into baroque, which is some of the best Christian music.

Generally you need to understand the forms utilized in order to have any beyond surface-level appreciation, luckily I can at least spoonfeed you four common forms you can sink your teeth into quite easily and can get you into listening Baroque music like Bach, Vivaldi and Handel

#1 Ritornello
This one is commonly found in Baroque concertos and is quite simple to follow: A melody is introduced in the beginning of the movement that keeps getting repeated, in-between each repetition you have the solo instruments playing a solo over the chord progression of the melody.
Examples:
https://youtu.be/lQLjP7x3Dug
https://youtu.be/ybwSoY5BuwY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfH3Gfkgzm8
https://youtu.be/yHSstJusbWI

2# Binary Form
The simplest one of the period, this has two sections: An A-section that repeats once, and then a B-section that repeats once (Note that the performer might also choose to not repeat the sections sometimes). That is it. It is quite simple but quite effective. You will be hearing this one a lot when listening to Baroque music. Most often found in suites (sometimes called Partitas), where all movements besides the prelude will be some type of binary form piece.

>That would mean that for a long time (anywhere up-to 1600 years), Christians didn't have a copy of the NT without error
Wouldn't be anything new under the sun. After all, having the Christ and the prophets, yet erronously following after only what they wanted to hear out of the original Bible, a.k.a. the Living Word of God, a.k.a. Christ Jesus, is what most of ancient Israel does throughout most of the Old Testament.

<Rabbinic Jews are not part of Israel
Your statement is a contradiction if it made any sense at all. Israel is defined in Genesis 32:28 as
>And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
So a descendent of Jacob is an Israelite, a son of Israel. Now read Genesis 14:13
>And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.
So Abraham and his sons, such as Isaac and Jacob, are hebrews. All the sons of Jacob, Israelites, are hebrews. Israelites therefore are Jews due to Jeremiah 34:9
>That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother.
Jew is used synonymously with Hebrew in this context. The only situation I can even dream up to justify your idiocy is someone who was a descendant of Ishmael but not a descendant of Isaac after the split between the people of God and the rest of the world with Jacob e.g Galatians 4:22-28. They would be a Hebrew but not a Israelite neccessarily. Atleast

If you are not convinced by the word of God in Hebrews 11 that Abel and Noah and Abraham are saved. How do you justify writing thus?

If you were serious in your conversation you would be saying "follow the faith in Jesus Christ." Further more "Judaism" is not a word in the word of God it is a word the kikels, specifically the IDF, invented to confuse people. I am not sure what you are talking about when you say "Judaism" could you clarify what you are talking about? Preferably with Biblical sources

You are putting words in my mouth in again. Following the faith is following Christ, the head of the Church, Israel. I have said that multiple times. Maybe this might benefit you.

Curious fella here
IMO the bible seems to be pretty clear about it's position about Idolatry:

"You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.  You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me"
Exodus 20:4-5

"You saw no form of any kind the day the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire. Therefore watch yourselves very carefully, so that you do not become corrupt and make for yourselves an idol, an image of any shape, whether formed like a man or a woman, or like any animal on earth or any bird that flies in the air, or like any creature that moves along the ground or any fish in the waters below. And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars—all the heavenly array—do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the Lord your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven. But as for you, the Lord took you and brought you out of the iron-smelting furnace, out of Egypt, to be the people of his inheritance, as you now are."
"Deuteronomy 4:15-20"

If the bible is clear about its position on idolatry, why do some Christians (Catholics) venerate Mary? From what I've heard from a few Catholic friends, it's different from idolatry as the act of veneration is only to be applied to holy objects/in

I think the Scripture makes it rather clear when it is read within its context. What were the Israelites doing at the time of these passages? They were turning to the pagan idols, the fallen angels, or they were attempting to create a false god in which to worship. Scripture is not against images or art because we know what was described within the Holy of Holies and upon the Ark of Covenant. The issue is the inversion of worship. Whereas God creates man in His image, the pagans create their gods in man's image. They carve up and make an idol in which they think that their god will reside as if trapped and answer their bidding, not unlike the tales of the genie in the bottle. The God of the Israelites was the complete opposite. He chose where His dwelling place would be and would not attempt to be contained, and much wrath would come if one did so. An example is the capture of the Ark and the misery that followed it from city to city.

Worship as patterned upon Heaven is always given to God alone. Veneration is simply a deep respect or reverence for holy things. Mary, as seen through Catholic and Orthodox lenses, is the Theotokos, the Mother of God. Something even Luther had no problem with. We give a great amount of veneration to her because she is the new Ark of the Covenant, the new Eve. The only groups of Christians who do not believe in the veneration of holy persons or o

Being far more carnally specific then the above poster. Look at the catholic's leaders head peices/hats. Notice how it looks like a fish with its mouth open. Now go read Judges 16:23, 1 Samuel 5:1-7, and the wikipedia page on dagon. Now go look at pictures of the vatican. Ask yourself why there is so many images of random things unrelated to the Bible in the vatican and start looking into the meaning behind the images. Now go a step further and look at every depiction of Jesus ever and compare it to Revelation 1:12-18

Let me surmise it simply; maybe at one point the universalists were actually a sect of Christianity, maybe they weren't. But nowadays their leaders are clearly dagon worshippers with imagery of babylonian talmudic origin mixed in. Also its a terrible idea to seperate Christians from another by labels e.g 1 Corinthians 3:1-5
>AND I, brethern, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

Pretty much, when you think about it. Since the historicity of Christ, the early church, and the events of the OT grow stronger each day with modern archaeology, most atheists are left with attempting to attack the base of the Jenga blocks to topple the tower. But doing so is futile since they can't disprove what we already know happened.
>>26837
I say no because you have the really common (and autistic) argument that "believing in God used to be reasonable, but now we have Science(tm)" which is difficult to decipher as to what that's even supposed to mean, let alone connect it to something so specific.

"The Blessed Evangelist John lived at Ephesus down to an extreme old age, and, at length, when he was with difficulty carried to the Church, and was not able to exhort the congregation at length, he was used simply to say at each meeting, My little children, love one another. At last the disciples and brethren were weary with hearing these words continually, and asked him, Master, wherefore ever sayest thou this only? Whereto he replied to them, worthy of John: It is the commandment of the Lord, and if this only be done, it is enough."

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 will work on getting these archived somewhere like Mega that allows playing them back in the browser.

>remove religion
>promote degeneracy
This is the part I can't stomach. How many will not be lost to the current state of things and their triumphant brokenness. I feel it in my heart that I have to be open to the possibility that righteous people exist at God's pleasure, everywhere and nowhere, in every niche of the socio-political landscape but for the most egregiously demonic. Test, with patience and loving kindness, because Jesus said so. I pray that our civility stands on His spiritual reality, and not on any secular reason. This is how the people of the God prepare to look at worldly things without becoming worldly themselves. Amen.

Consider this, please. Both candidates are 777% what Schlomohomo wants. Both ostensively give a living demon like Netanyahu whatever he wants, among a laundry list of scandals. It may be the case that no institutional politicians would ever even become présidentiable without ((( their ))) blessing. I don't know what we should be doing about this, honestly. A Christian party? Aren't there too many already? Not in the US, but does that even matter?

Just as the video in this anon's reply says, no matter what happens with this election or any elections thereafter, Jesus will win. The Word of God will be fulfilled. Of course, I am also aware that the outcome of the election will also have immediate and long-term effects on our current society, outcomes that have the potential to bring some amount of pain and suffering. Even so, I'm thankful for this chance for people to learn/be reminded of this valuable lesson: "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23 NKJV)."
People rely a lot on elected officials and leaders. Oftentimes, many will put these leaders on a pedestal, see them as untouchable, infallible. But of course, every single one of them is human, guilty of sin like everyone else. As the election process continues, and political candidates/leaders continue to make mistakes, I pray that people will turn their gaze upward to see the One who is truly infallible: our loving Father. 
Of course, if there is some way for the election to become more reasonable and less tumultuous, I would be very thankful.
