Weird flex but okay
Gagium
Okay. That's where your reasoning to follow Christ is flawed. You seem to be "preparing" because some signs in the Bible; half of which are non-unique, the other half aren't happening say he's coming. What would you do if you personally didn't see those supposed signs. The logic leans towardsa Sin of Omission in that you're only preparing because you think he's coming soon.
Why not just live prepared all the time, knowing that the Second Coming or your death is coming while not trying to predict it?

People have been saying the Second Coming will be soon for centuries. There's no reason to believe that now is any different.
Gagium
A lot. Considering no one else does that...
This.
Liberated American Provinces, Gagium, Dragonwings
It's not, really. I think you all overly use the word cringe, for example, it's lost it's meaning :/
The term "soon" can be taken many ways, and "soon" could be millions of years, if you're looking at Earth's history.
Gagium
Yes, but people claiming that the Second Coming is near tend to mean within lifetimes.
Gagium, Dragons Of Power
Yeah, lifetimes, but probably not ours.
What's the point in destroying or fighting some random girl on the internet about her religious believes? I mean, seriously, what do you all have to gain?
Gagium
They will say, "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation." For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
2 Peter 3:4-7 ESV
Gagium, Dragons Of Power
Oops. I meant "their lifetime."
Debates always happen. There's nothing wrong with countering someone's ideas. This is a political simulation game after all.
Gagium, Dragons Of Power
Wait, an argument about religion regards religious beliefs? 🤔
Liberated American Provinces, Viridus, Dragons Of Power, Polish Prussian Commonwealth, Paleoconservative Citizens
-.-
Gagium, Paleoconservative Citizens
Eh, this time hes too accurate on the cringe part...No offense to anyone..
Liberated American Provinces, Viridus, Dragons Of Power, Paleoconservative Citizens
Yeah? :/
Gagium, Paleoconservative Citizens
I mean, I understand both of their POVs on that.
To me, it's not cringe.
Paleoconservative Citizens
You seem surprised by the fact
Viridus, Dragons Of Power, Paleoconservative Citizens
I'm not.
Gagium, Paleoconservative Citizens
Bruh, stop white knighting. She literally said . . .
Viridus, Gagium, Dragons Of Power
I'm just saying...but alright.
Liberated American Provinces, Gagium
A Medieval RP would be awesome guys :/
Furbish Islands, New Waldensia, Viridus, Gagium, Paleoconservative Citizens
If I said the same thing to Gagium for example, you wouldn't have said anything about it :)
Viridus, Gagium, Dragons Of Power
Guys, just grab some more popcorn and hope theyre not done with tonights show..
[spoiler]Youre right tho[/spoiler]
Liberated American Provinces, Viridus, Dragons Of Power
Actually no, I would say something, because I find the point on arguing about religion pointless, all it does is leave people questioning things, and left confused on their view on religion. But okee, say what you believe.
Liberated American Provinces, Gagium
True, and thats all the RMBs been about for the past several days!
EDIT: But the point of a successful argument is to get the other person to question their beliefs
Liberated American Provinces, New Waldensia, Viridus, Dragons Of Power, Paleoconservative Citizens
Yeah, so let's not ruin things for some people.
Gagium, Paleoconservative Citizens
Yes, but theirs a point and limit. I wouldn't want to ruin someone's religious views on dumb questions I could've:
A) Looked up.
B) Ask a religious leader in my area or read a holy book.
3) Ask a religious friend.
Post by Furbish Islands suppressed by a moderator.
Yeah, we all do.
Gagium
That's literally the point of debating something. You aren't going to get any new perspectives if you just sit in your echo chamber and think all your beliefs are absolute truth. Plus no has even pulled out the "God isn't real" card yet :P
Viridus, Gagium, Dragons Of Power
But what if I dont want to? I dont really care for religion. I understand the important and impact but I personally dont care for it.
Liberated American Provinces, Gagium, Dragons Of Power
Gagium, Dragons Of Power
Oh snap we're getting close
Viridus, Gagium, The Legion Of Mankind, Dragons Of Power
Malidda is a medieval nation I created recently
Viridus, Gagium, Dragons Of Power
Well thats the thing.... I dont know if God is real. Religion could just be an old story to explain the unknown! Ill find out when Ill die lmao
Liberated American Provinces, Viridus, Gagium, Dragons Of Power
True, but for me personally, THIS topic of debate leaves me confused, and spiritually lost. I came from a Catholic Family, and am dating a Christian, but I didn't grow up going to church, reading the bible. The only time I really got exposed was from what my parents said, and the summer camps I went to.
Now, as I got older, and hanged out with a bunch of friends, who most are atheist, have said things about the bible on how God isn't real, or it's just a story, etc. I didn't believe it at first, and kinda started questioning things that didn't make sense to me. Now, I go to church with my girlfriend, and try to believe. Even tho, it's hard for me after those experiences, and it leaves me confused, lost, and kinda sad at times. I don't want to say "I don't believe in God", but I also don't want to say "I believe in God", because I'm lost.
SOOOOOOOOO, that's why I don't like "debating" about it, because I don't want the same to happen to other people, cause it sucks.
Liberated American Provinces, Gagium, The Legion Of Mankind
Lol that's how I feel
Gagium, The Legion Of Mankind, Dragons Of Power
Yay!
Liberated American Provinces, Gagium, Dragons Of Power
borkay
Liberated American Provinces, Viridus, Gagium, The Legion Of Mankind, Dragons Of Power
Gooooooooood feel the power of the dark side.
Liberated American Provinces, Viridus, Gagium, Eldrado, Dragons Of Power
It is.
Gagium, Eldrado, Dragons Of Power
idk at this point, but the one time I went to a Catholic church was far better than my time at any prot church

Hello papa
Liberated American Provinces, Gagium, Eldrado, Dragons Of Power
That's fair. It is difficult to question assumptions you've always had. Although, I find it to be a worthwhile experience in the end.
Gagium, The Legion Of Mankind, Dragons Of Power
Jawhol
Gagium, Dragons Of Power
Yeah, I'm just lost, like probably a lot of people here. Gag and I actually talked about this a bit recently, and I would like some help. Cause I REALLY want to believe, and I don't want to hurt my family or girlfriend by saying I don't believe, cause to them, they won't see me when I die, or after they die.
Gagium, Polish Prussian Commonwealth
Thank you, and I agree.

BATMAN 1989 IS A BAD BATMAN MOVIE
Liberated American Provinces, Gagium, Dragons Of Power
Wait..... are they hardcore believers?
Gagium, Dragons Of Power
Yes, but not like a Calvinist or a crazy religious person.
Gagium
Facts. Only good Batman is Christopher Nolan Batman.
Gagium, The Legion Of Mankind, Dragons Of Power
SHHHHH WE HAVE Calvinists in here.
Liberated American Provinces, Viridus, Gagium, Dragons Of Power
Yes! They are definitely my top 10 favorite movies
Liberated American Provinces, Gagium, Dragons Of Power
Oops
There's nothing wrong with being a Calvinist, but don't be stubborn on your opinion or be a jerk to everyone who disagrees. Cough cough Frachen!!
[spoiler]Joke, but seriously Delta, be more nice :/[/spoiler]

...
Be wary what thou sayest
Gagium, Dragons Of Power, Paleoconservative Citizens
Same. After Star Wars, they are probably my favorite movies.

I have a job! Are you proud? ITS MY FIRST ONE!!!!!
Whats your thoughts on the newer ones?
Liberated American Provinces, Gagium, Eldrado, Dragons Of Power
????!!??
Liberated American Provinces, Eldrado, Dragons Of Power
I could not be prouder... *tear*

I don't hate them, but I don't love them. The Force Awakens was pretty well done even though it copied A New Hope too much. As for the The Last Jedi, I think Rian Johnson tried to change too many things, but it's not as bad as a lot of people say. I'm glad Abrams is directing the last one though. If it turns out good, I think I will be satisfied with the sequel trilogy overall.
Gagium, Eldrado, Dragons Of Power
I'm just sad they made Hans Solo a douchebag dad who left Leia and his son (Ben/Kylo), then promptly shows up and dies. I'm also sad that if Luke died (he may or may not have died) he didn't get a chance to like shoot lightning out of "...his ears..." (Mark Hammil quote). It just seemed like they took the characters we loved, killed them, tried to make them less important, or try to replace them with characters that are just not as good (in my opinion).
Liberated American Provinces, Viridus, Gagium, Dragons Of Power
That's true, but it's not entirely out of Han's personality. I imagine they killed him off because Harrison Ford didn't want to play Han anymore.

I think people can choose for themselves.... and not be brainwashed and/ or forced to be religious.

Religion doesn't have to be bad word, per se. The Bible speaks of "true religion".
Also, in case you hadn't figured it out yet, San Carlos Islands is Catholic, Gagium and Viridus are Lutheran, and I'm Baptist. Libervalley is Methodist.

Me and you both, except I want to say I believe in God, but I don't know how to trust in Jesus completely
Gagium, Dragons Of Power
For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:18 ESV
The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 2:14 ESV
I cannot understand how Jesus' death paid for my sins..
Am I perishing?
Gagium, Dragons Of Power, North Masonville

Post by North Masonville suppressed by a moderator.
I know... But the fact that I cannot understand how makes me question why, and that makes me question if I'm saved or not, and I feel like I am slowly falling away from God, and it scares the hell out of me, I cannot find peace, my soul is in constant pain, I long for the days when I was on fire for God, when I could believe everything without doubt, but now, for some reason, I feel like I am falling away, and I don't want to.
Gagium, Dragons Of Power, North Masonville
Okay, so basically God looked into the future and was like lmfao yall suck what the hell is this anime god damn you all, and Jesus was like wait father no! I hereby die so you dont have to kill them!, and then God was like wait jesus what, fine I wont damn the weebs if they follow me

I'm serious.
Gagium
I feel like you and your friend are trying to make the FCN a religious support forum..
Liberated American Provinces, Paleoconservative Citizens
Yes, then you should seek serious help instead of take your issues here..No offense of course

Post by North Masonville suppressed by a moderator.
I'm not trying to, it's just that I am scared that God has abandoned me and will let me perish, and that thought alone constantly tortures me, Why can't I have trust? Why is no one answering my questions? Why must I continue throughout my entire life suffering?
Gagium, North Masonville

Eh, I mean thats sort-of what happens when youre following a Christianity variant that tells you youre f*cked if youre not already chosen...Im not sure Id trust a church that told me that if I did all these things then I might or might not be chosen or whatever.
Viridus
It's not that thought alone that makes me doubt, it's the question of "How can Jesus's death pay for my sins? How can this be that he died on a cross so I don't go to hell?"
Gagium
Eh, if Im correct, the whole Jesus died so all your sins are payed for thing is a figment of modern Christianity and culture with the intent of making people largely feel good about themselves.. I mean, sure, Jesus died for us, but that doesnt mean we can go out, do whatever, feel good about ourselves, and then go to heaven. Yknow?
