Hello there. I’m a nobody, just frequent visitor. I hope this message reaches many because I’m posting this in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ.
I’ve undergone a profound spiritual reawakening since early February, I’ll spare you the details, but what’s important is that it’s taken me to these truths which I implore you to consider over the coming days:
-
God loves all of us… Yes. All of us. Even the very souls we profess to hate. Instead of hoping for their damnation, pray for their conversion to God, for even the most wicked in history have repented in their last hour, and been saved. The Lord desires salvation, let us pray for the salvation of all souls, good and bad, and pray for God’s justice, instead, for He is fully capable of judging accordingly. Forgiveness is a virtue.
-
Repentance is a colon cleanse of the soul (teehee). Do not do as I did, and become lost in repentance—feelings of guilt and anxiety can manifest after we’ve taken an honest inventory of our shortcomings. But bringing those transgressions to the Lord allows us to encounter His mercy, and then move on to become better and better people. This can begin a lifelong routine of repentance, the fruits of which become more and more clear over time.
-
I’ve now tried to begin emptying my will, and asking God for His will to be done through me. I’m still a very imperfect human, having to remind myself of this constantly. But this has ironically given me MORE freedom than it has “burdened me with the need to obey a higher authority.” I now gladly serve the Lord, so that those I speak to know that I do so in His love.
There are significant, Biblical dates (I know according to western calendars, dates change over time, etc.) approaching in the coming weeks. This will not by any means be the end, but this will begin the mass awakening we have all been praying for. I’m so fucking excited for all of us, excuse my language. I well up with tears of joy thinking of the moment we here, in particular, are about to experience. Pray for this moment, and meditate on it with the Lord, and thank Him for what will soon transpire. We have endured quite a bit mentally, emotionally, spiritually, maybe even physically for some of you patriots (as Christ did.) Pray for the death and resurrection of public consciousness soon to come, and may God have mercy on all of us.
Love your friends and family, and make peace wherever possible. Thanks be to God! They will see God’s peace manifesting within you. Pray for the well-being of your ancestors and friends who’ve gone before you, as they bless you in observance from Heaven. Say hello and introduce yourself to your guardian angel, if you haven’t done so already, and thank them for their continued protection. Allow the Holy Spirit to stir within you as you meditate on these truths.
04/10/2022 - Palm Sunday In Luke 19:41 as Jesus approaches Jerusalem, he looks at the city and weeps over it, foretelling his coming Passion and the suffering that awaits the city in the events of the destruction of the Second Temple.
04/15/2022 - Good Friday/Passover John 19:26-27, “When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, ‘Woman, here is your son,’ and to the disciple, ‘Here is your mother.’ From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.” Learning more about the Mother of God, the mother of Jesus, brings so much spiritual healing. Learn the Hail Mary and/or pray the Rosary.
04/17/2022 - Easter Matthew 28 18-21, “Jesus came up and spoke to them. He said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, make disciples of all nations; baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to observe all the commands I gave you. And look, I am with you always; yes, to the end of time.’”
04/20/2022 - 4:20pm many unknowingly participate in an arcane ritual that worships time and matter. If you partake in ganja smoking, consider denying yourself the urge at that very minute to observe the blessings of God, instead, who has made it possible for you to even appreciate this natural, healing plant placed here on Earth. Or even better, fast from smoking on this day. Let us not allow evil to hijack that which was placed here on Earth to be a gift for us. And let us remain vigilant and steadfast in having the discipline to utilize this blessing wisely and to our benefit, rather than creating a habit in which we lose possession of ourselves. It may be a necessary remedy for many in the near future, to help cope with the dark realities that they’ll have little time to process.
04/24/2022 - Orthodox Easter (See above 04/17/2022; Orthodox celebrated worldwide, also, including Russia.)
That’s all I have. Again, I am nobody. I only post this at the urging of the Holy Spirit. Perhaps someone out there will find meaning or comfort in this message. God bless, and see you in the other side.
Peace out.
Never say you are a nobody. We are all Gods children and each of us play a part no matter how big or small.
You beat me to it.
No ANON on these boards should EVER ... NOT EVER think you are 'Nobody'. That's bullshit. We are here ... You included OP, because we were chosen. I don't believe that ... I know if for a fact.
Yes, We are blessed (though a lot of the time if feels like a curse) because we have been chosen. What we do with that is on each of us individually.
AGAIN .... Every one here was picked by God ... or you wouldn't be here.
If I may add? Even the downvoters.
Was just going to post this. 💗
It does feel like a curse at times, yet I wouldn't have it any other way.
God bless you fren, a lot of us have been brought closer to God through all of this. I for one need a lot of prayer thorough the day, the victory will be Christs.
This will be an interesting year for certain as the calender has significant dates coming up. Have a look at these
The berishit prophecy https://youtu.be/0E75SsdZ238
The fig tree prophecy https://youtu.be/uTcolD_P89g
Daniels 1290 & 1335 days https://youtu.be/MaRR6rPy9HM

Have a blessed Easter ✝️
Great post, great comment. Thanks for this!
Wow thank you, I am enjoying these videos, especially the rapture 2022 calendar playlist! Makes me think about Q's 5:5 references as being Revelations 5:5. It's going to be biblical, indeed!
Yh they are good, it'll be great if we're raptured away before the DS can do any of there great reset plans.
There is no pre-Tribulation Rapture, but I do believe some will be called home before it really kicks off.
Hey if you’re right I’ll gladly stand by your side fighting the evil during the tribulation and if I’m right, I’ll explain it to you on the way up 😉
Beautiful post friend. God bless u. Keep shining that light
Lovely. Thank you for posting and reminding me of just how exciting it all is. Dates noted.
Thank you for this.
That was beautiful Fren.
Thank you for this...👌🙏 I Just have one question regarding this...
Do you think that some of these "people" would still repent for their evil crimes knowing that they are spending their last moments on this Earth...Or...Just to receive a "lighter sentence"
I only ask this as I have seen many people "repent", and "apologise" ONLY once they have been Caught and are looking for "mercy"...
If the conversion is not genuine...it won't help them.
Somewhat related: I know for a fact that many wait to be baptized until on their deathbed. According to those I spoke to, it ensures that they are the most "pure" before their journey in death. Pros and cons abound, but it is something people do!
But to your comment: God has some words to say regarding the "lukewarm" among us. Better for those "caught and looking for mercy" to commit one way or another than remain ambivalent, although only God can truly know another's intentions...
Regardless, The Prodigal Son is a great message for many that it's never too late.
The problem with deathbed conversions and baptisms is that we don't really know when we are each going to die. Death may come so quick (from accidents or shootings) that there is no time for baptisms or last rites. It's best to get good with God as early as possible and stay good with Him until your last breath.
And the thief on the cross next to Christ.
There is one example of this in the Newer Covenant, and it was pretty clear he was impacted by the death of an innocent man along side him. He even asks Jesus to remember him when Jesus came into His kingdom.
The same God that has the power to save you from damnation has the power to transform your heart and in doing so knows your hearts. Repentance and faith in Christ alone is your ticket to heaven. Not works. Think about the thief on the cross next to Jesus, a sinner through and through until the end… Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, [a]“If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”
40 But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong.” 42 Then he said [b]to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”
43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” Luke 23:39-43. If people only knew how easy and wonderful it is to know Jesus. He does all the work. We just submit, follow, learn, and become all the happier in doing so. Thank you Jesus.
I believe that as people are close to dying, they often start to see there is another life and do have abrupt conversions.
God bless you, this is a very encouraging post!
HE IS RISEN! (I normally hate shouting, and all caps. But this is one exception)
God bless you, fren!!!
If you are a believer then you too are a son of God.
That means you ARE SOMEBODY.
Those who have confessed with their mouths the Lord Jesus and have believed in their hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead are Gods children. Many think all humans are yet we know IF we want salvation and Sonship of God we must accept the invitation. If not. Sorry, you are not God's child. You are however someone God loved enough to sacrifice His only begotten Son for. So please accept the invitation from the God of Light and love.
Dominus vobiscum.
(Shout out for all the old timers out there).
et cum spiritu tuo...
Well done, old-timer fren!
God bless you!
Your are not a nobody this is what they wanted you to believe. You are an Angel!
Mat 13:37 He answered and said to them: "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. Mat 13:38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. Mat 13:39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. Mat 13:40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. Mat 13:41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, Mat 13:42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Mat 13:43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
We are the good seed, as Jesus explains.
for a second, I thought I posted this^;)
I do that quite a bit. think it's such an important parable; to learn about the wheat and the tares/what's really going on with the two types of people in this world.
You are not a "nobody." Anonymous, maybe, but you realize that God wants to save all His children, even the ones who tempt us to hate and anger, and that includes you, you are Somebody.
Not children are all saved. Not all humans are his children. To be God's child you must be born again of holy spirit.
God bless you! Happy Easter!
I don't know about anyone else but this post made my day!!!
High effort, high post OP. Dog bless you.
Who the fuck is dog?
I like where your heads at, mon.
If you are a believer then you too are a son of God.
That means you ARE SOMEBODY.
Those who have confessed with their mouths the Lord Jesus and have believed in their hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead are Gods children.

Nope.
Thank you so much for posting this, Patriot. I really needed this today. ((((Hugs)))
I too have had a quickening in my spirit over the fast several months. I know it's from my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He has given me the gift of discernment that I can't explain. The Plan is as real to me as my salvation, and I KNOW God is right smack in the middle of it, leading the way. I have asked God many times to take this gift from me if the Plan is not of Him. I can't let it go. I know God is going to do miraculous things! I believe millions will come to Christ through this.
I feel very alone at times, because my friends and family "just don't see it happening." Their words, not mine. My husband admits he's never seen me so passionate about anything, but still says "I guess time will tell." It's ok. He's a good Christian man and is a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. But I don't think he's been given the gift.
For those of us who have it, prepare! We are called to do a wonderful mission! We will be the light to people when the SHTF. People will be scared and wanting answers. We have been called to provide comfort and answers. What a blessing!
Stand fast, Patriots! God is going to use each and every one of us in a glorious way! 😀😀😀
You fucking rock, dude. ❤️👏🏼
Peace be with you fren.☺️❤️🙏🏻
You. Are. NOT. "Nobody." full stop
I used to have a poster hanging in my classroom that said "God doesn't make junk". Thank you for taking the time to post this. I am in agreement with you.
I'm with it except those that fucked with the children. It was better that they tied a millstone around their neck & jumped into the deepest darkest of oceans. I hope they burn in hell eternally getting raped by demons. Fuck them.
Awesome post. And good to read just before sleep!
So….did the storm happen yet?
Be truthful with Jesus. Be truthful with yourself. With EVERYTHING. I like where you're coming from over all. Vengeance is for Jesus to carry out. We are commanded to love unconditionally as He which is why I get extremely irate towards those on here who preach un-American nonsense about controlling people's lives. We are not now nor will any mere man shape us into some theocracy based on any mere man's interpretation. If that is the Will of Christ, He will establish it when He returns. Until then we are to love. STOP TRYING TO CONTROL PEOPLE. Would you allow someone to pass legislation banning your religion, essentially banning your lifestyle? Then why are some of you trying to do it to others?
We don't perform good works to save ourselves, which is impossible. We perform good works because we love God and because His Holy Spirit lives within us.
With that being said, a simple belief in God does not qualify us for the free gift of salvation. We should not assume our belief gives us a free license to sin.
James 2:19
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
AND
Philippians 2:12
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Clearly, there's more to obtaining the free gift of salvation than mere lip service, or why would both James and Paul speak about trembling?
Paul breaks it down in Romans 3.
Romans 3:19-31
19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Our faith does not void the law or our obligations to follow the law.
Rather, true believers write the laws on their hearts and establish the law.
John makes it clear if God dwells within us, we will do what we can with the abundance of the gifts God has given us to help others.
I know there are some of us here who are one to three paychecks away from homelessness ourselves, yet would still give something up if it meant we could help somebody else in even greater need. We don't do that because we think it will save us. Rather, we do these things because we are saved.
1 John 3:17-24
17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
here you go trying to put a burden on people
It's not me who's putting a burden on anybody.
Matthew 11:28-30
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
romans 10 10 we believe uno righteousness confess unto salvation. it is either faith, new testament or works.
Did I ever say works save us? We've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God and nothing we can do in our own power can change that.
But swinging back to the light burden the Master mentioned-
Matthew 22:36-40
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
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.
Is the command to love God and love your neighbor as yourself too much of a burden for you?
Who is your master?
Matthew 6:24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
do not confuse treasures in heaven with salvation. do not think you will put your burdens on me.
Again, those aren't my burdens. The Master says his yoke is easy and his burden is light.
i have been set free and i promise you you weont be the one to bring me into your legalism. show me where adam had any more rules when walking and talking with god than do not eat the fruit. read that verse you quoted again above 21.
The apostle Peter has a message for you.
2 Peter 3:14-16
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
Take care when reading Paul's epistles. While they contain the truth, not everyone understands what Paul's actually saying. Peter advises us to do our due diligence and heed the teachings of our Master.
You tell me to skip up to verse 21 and I'm telling you don't ignore Romans 3:31.
Don't confuse the fact works do not grant salvation with the fruits of salvation, which naturally occur when the Holy Spirit is working inside of you.
This truth is found throughout the scriptures and isn't legalism, by any means.
What does John have to say about the commandments? Does it confirm what the Master said?
1 John 2:3-4
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 3:22-24
22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
1 John 5:2-3
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
why i certainly do approach my daddy with confidence, you want to know why? because i was set free from self righteousness, self effort, go throw your fear around to someone else please. i am perfect in his eyes.
1 Kings 8:61
Let your heart therefore be perfect with the Lord our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
Job 9:20
If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
There is a need to respond.
Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
You need to read what Yashua said in Matthew 7. The way is narrow, friend.
Not everyone who says, "Lord, Lord" shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. It's only the people who do the will of the Father who enter.
Everyone who hears the words of Yashua and doesn't do what he commands builds their faith on a foundation of sand.
Matthew 7:13-29
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
John has a message for anybody who claims the law is a burden, which includes you.
1 John 2:4
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
I'm not arguing. I've shaken the dust off my feet.
True that. We are not saved by works.
We are saved by THE perfect work of Jesus Christ who always did the Father's will. He was clear on who his father is.
We will never walk perfect, we.will always need forgiveness. Walk humbly is all. And never back down on truth.
Amen!
Jesus was crucified on a Wednesday not on Friday. Friday was the beginning of the Sabbath which came after the High Sabbath that week for Passover. No matter how you look at it, Jesus spent 72 hours in the grave. Do the math starting on Sunday morning and you will see that He was in the tomb on Friday.
Sorry that's not what the Bible teaches. God loves His creation in general and only loves the elect.
Romans 9:13 So it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
Salvation is entirely up to God. He choses who to save. "My sheep hear and obey my voice" Did Pharaoh have free will when God hardened his heart? Nope.
We are dead in our sins just like Lazarus in the tomb when Jesus called him out just like He calls us out of sin and breaths new life into us.
If this wasn't true praying for someone to be saved would have no effect if they have free will to do so.
"No one seeks after God, no not one"
Heil Mary???
That is catholic idol worship.
The great awakening IS the resurrection spoken of by the prophets.
Its a 'catching up' of the spirit. The resurrection from spiritual death. Its not zombie apocalypse.
Its the 'unveiling' of the truth. Aka the REVELATION or REVEALING.
Its the 'every eye shall see' moment.
Paul spoke extensively about 'staying awake' and not 'falling asleep'.
Daniel said in the end the WISE will SHINE LIKE THE STARS.
We are to be beacons of light. Light houses watching over a turbulent sea and to guide others who are awakening.
What is with all of the Catholic hate? Please Take a minute to remember we are all Christians.... after all the word Catholic means universal....please take a minute to consider the BELIEFS that are shared. Our profession of faith....I BELIEVE IN GOD THE FATHER ALMIGHTY CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, AND IN JESUS CHRIST, HIS ONLY SON, OUR LORD, WHO WAS CONCEIVED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY SUFFERED UNDER PONTIUS PILATE WAS CRUCIFIED, DIED, AND WAS BURIED; HE DESCENDED INTO HELL; ON THE THIRD DAY HE ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD; HE ASCENDED, INTO HEAVEN AND IS SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD THE FATHER ALMIGHTY; FROM THERE HE WILL COME TO JUDGE THE LIVING AND THE DEAD. I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting . AMEN Sorry for the all caps. I get a little worked up when Christians attack each other instead of coming together at Easter to remember what was sacrificed for all of us and for anyone who accepts Jesus. I get very frustrated with the strongly held and usually misinformed idea that there is any form of idol worship. We worship God!
Thank you and Happy Easter.
Thank you to the OP for this wonderful post.
It's because they believe lies about the Catholic Church. The "Mary worship" and "saint worship" and "idol worship" stuff is the same lies I've heard for decades, they can't think of anything new and get hung up about the same crap that has been explained to them ad nauseum for centuries. They will never get it because their hatred is so large.
Even Martin Luther had respect for Mary and recognized her as the Mother of God. Somehow modern protestants can't even do that.
Thank you. I find it interesting how we can seem to take a topic and dig into the information as deeply as possible and come to a measured conclusion. Religious beliefs and practices don't seem to get the same chance. I just hope that someday someone will read what we say and stop to reasses where the deeply held prejudice comes from...maybe some lies and personal agendas? Politics has frequently been a factor. Still good vs evil in this world.
You're welcome. This site is sadly ripe with Catholic and Orthodox hatred. It is what it is, and I've given up trying to convince any of these people. They will meet Jesus one day and have to explain why they hated His own mother. Jesus isn't going to take that lightly.
Agree.
The Catholic church was synonymous with political power for centuries, especially when our nation was founded. Protestantism and our nation grew from the resistance to the controlling arms of political dictatorship which included the Catholic church at that time. Even while defending Catholic believers, it is hard not to acknowledge embedded corruption within the Catholic hierarchy today. All these things combined give protestants profound reservations about the Catholic church as an institution. But I know protestants that give to Franciscan soup kitchens and monasteries, and are grateful for Catholic solidarity to overturn abortion mandates in healthcare plans. We have lots of common ground, despite the fanatic ideologues that have loud voices.
No sect is immune from ideologues who loudly attack others. But most modern protestants have prayers of Saint Francis and others in their hymnals, and reminders of Mary and other saints threaded throughout their worship services. Quietly, patiently we work together across the parking lots, fields and streets that divide us. Peace.
We are all Christians?
I beg to differ.
And mary worship is.. not good.
How are we not Christian?.... The Church was the earliest formalized way for followers of Jesus to learn what He taught while he was here on Earth. We believe he was the promised Messiah. The Christ.
Mary is not worshiped. She is important and respected in some very special ways. God chose her to bring his son into the world in his human form.
There are a broad array of religious views here.
Yes. All denominations of Christianity are based in the same starting point. I think it really doesn't help if Christians can't get along during the celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord. The most holy celebration of the year.

Is open to all people. No matter what they believe.
