Middle East Running Iranian threat news and discussion thread

[Zachowon]

I feel like saints are blasphemous, and that perhaps the Islamic world within Iran hates ALL Christians not just one section or another

How are you saying saints are blasphemy? Also aren’t you a pagan? Why are you “defending the honor” of Protestants?

What are you talking about? No jehovas witnesses are not considered Christian by Orthodox by Catholics, by Lutheran, by reformed; by baptists.

I'm talking about the literal definition of Christian which is a Follower of Christ. Obviously Catholics would not agree but they are biased here and don't get to determine who is and isn't.

People don’t differentiate between Pauline Christianity and non Paul. The non Paul non trinitarians are not Christian.

Actually yes they do, I didn't invent the term Pauline christianity Pauline Christianity - Wikipedia

You can’t just use the definition of “a follower of Christ” because that leads to crazy stuff like Mormons. If we call Mormons Christians why not Muslims?

Yes I can, since that is the literal definition from a time before there was even a truly organized movement. That is what christian means in its first uses.

Hey I guess Iran is a Christian theocracy now since Muslims follow Jesus.

Cringe bad faith take, Muslims specifically do not follow Jesus but consider him one of many prophets

Actually no God put authorities over man one of those is the church. Another one is the government a Christian in America must obey the US government as long as the government is not ordering you to do a sin.

Nope this is Pauline Christianity

Because one can speak foe a religion they once followed. And being pagan doesn't mean I can't defend any religion from another.

Because saints seem to be seen in high regard and, while not the holy trinity, held to a standard above every man. Iconography of those not the lord.

See, this is what I like.

So if Protestants have shared characteristics and you group them together.

Why are you not grouping orthodox together when they have even more shared characteristics?

Either option you use, there ends up being more Protestants anyway, or just more Anglicans specifically.

And here we see a perfect reason why the Middile East will never have peace, even under complete Christian rule from Kyber Pass to the Bosphorus and Suez: Christian inter/intra-denominational conflicts will just be the new/old reason people will keep fighting.

Christian denominations rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Yep, just like how Europe will never manage to find peace due to the schismatic nature of Christianity.

 

[LordsFire]

No, that would be 'human nature,' not 'the schismatic nature of Christianity.'

 

[Poe]

I was being facetious, Europe has definitely gotten past fighting over religion with one another.

The Balkans are Europe, and I seem to remember so serious ethnic tension there with relation to religion and sectarian violence.

Oh, and the Irish Catholic vs Protestant issues are still around, as evidenced by Northern Ireland's continued existence.

If these were the only problems the middle east had it would be a huge step up
