I know you harbor a huge disdain for religion, but no. That's not what the Catholic Church teaches. In fact, not even Protestants teach this. God judges us by the things that we know, not by what we don't know. If you're genuinely seeking your creator with all your heart, and you're living in a way that's close to how he wants us to, your judgement will be fair and just. He doesn't want anyone to burn in Hell just because they were born in different circumstances than Christians.
Now if you DO have biblical knowledge but choose to reject God and live however you want apart from him, that's a completely different problem.
I will never stop shipping them! Not even after what happens in SF6!
Ingrid established that different timelines exist, even within canon events (ie. Evil Ryu in Zero 3). And with how drastically they changed Alex's history with his family, they essentially made SF3 its own separate universe, much like the Rival Schools or Street Fighter EX series. Thus, this "Alex Winger" character is a totally separate person. He's "Alex" in name only.
The ship is only dead in the mainline series. But in SF3 itself, the Alex and Ibuki I know from my youth are still just as believable and sexy together as they ever were. Let the fanart continue!
What are you even talking about? I can't remember a single person who thought it would be a good idea for Alex to marry and bang his cousin. Nobody asked for that.
Plus, I've always been a huge Alex and Ibuki shipper. The only people that would cry if it happened are idiots who don't know enough about these characters to realize how close they are in age.
Why the fuck am I still seeing you on my feed? Not all Muslims do violent things, but when they sit idly by and refuse to condemn the ones raping and murdering non-Muslims, they're part of the problem. Speaking of which, I had asked you specifically to condemn those so-called extremists TWICE now. In the name of Allah. If you had any integrity, this shouldn't be hard for you. But you won't. You won't do it because you're a fucking liar, and your Allah will not allow you to speak or act against the savage acts he's commanded your people to do. You hypocrite. Time to block your ass. And I hope everyone else who sees this does the same.
@Scotia834@funnyusername46 He should be free for people who already bought the game. I had to pay scalper prices to get my hands on the physical version from Limited Run.
You know what, forget it. You can't be that illiterate, you're just being obstinate to try to bait a reaction out of me. If you're going to focus on one sentence and dismiss the meaning behind "imperishable and immortal" in those verses, you're arguing in bad faith. I'm not playing this game with you anymore.
You say you want peace, but what do you have to show for it? For every Muslim who actively commits rape or murder, you have thousands more who make excuses for them.
Do you condemn ISIS and the Taliban? Do you condemn the 9/11 attacks? Do you condemn the killing of Henry Nowak, and other non-Muslims? Do you condemn the rape of young children by Pakistani and Afghan Muslims?
Will you PUBLICLY condemn these crimes in the name of Allah? If you can't do that, we have no reason to believe anything you say.
Are you actually reading those verses? Paul in Corinthians is making a clear distinction between the flesh and blood that is earthly (perishable and mortal) from the divine (imperishable and immortal). We, as we were born, cannot enter the kingdom while we still live in our perishable flesh. It's only through the change that happened with Jesus' body can our transition from the world to the kingdom be made possible.
When Jesus was born, his flesh and blood were perishable and mortal. When he rose from the dead, his flesh and blood became imperishable and immortal before he ascended back into Heaven. His body was remade in the divine substance, which he commanded us to consume through the Eucharist. He wants us to inhabit new bodies, just as he did.
For a sola scriptura supporter, you really don't know your scripture.
The concept of Jesus taking on new flesh after his resurrection is supported by several passages in the New Testament that describe his post-resurrection body as both physical and transformed.
Key scriptural support includes:
Luke 24:39 - When Jesus appears to his disciples, he says: "Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have." This indicates he had a physical, tangible body.
John 20:27 - Jesus tells Thomas: "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe." This shows his wounds were still present in his resurrected body.
Romans 6:4 - Paul writes: "We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." This suggests a transformation in the resurrection.
1 Corinthians 15:42-44 - Paul explains: "So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body."
Philippians 3:21 - Paul states that Christ "will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body."
If Jesus' body was purely spiritual, why were 500 people able to SEE him? His body became what God intends OURS to be at the time his kingdom is established on Earth.
This is why receiving communion through the Holy Eucharist means becoming part of the "body of Christ". We become more like him in this life, and it is fully realized in the next when our bodies completely change as his body had changed.
Why are you still having trouble understanding this? The bread and the wine are not the EARTHLY flesh and blood he was born with. It's the divine flesh and blood that he took on when he rose from the dead, made from the same substance shared between him, the Father and the Holy Spirit. He did NOT command people to eat his dead body. He transmitted the parts of what he would become to the bread and wine in the Last Supper. Which is what the Holy Spirit now does for every Mass when the Eucharist is administered.
The Christian faith is backed by historic and scientific evidence. We have archeological findings that corroborate scripture, such as the remains of Pharaoh's army at the bottom of the Red Sea. We have documents detailing the deaths of Jesus' twelve apostles, who chose to be tortured to death and not deny Jesus coming back from the dead. We have samples of Jesus' blood on the Shroud of Turin, which his body was covered in when they moved him to the tomb. We have tens of thousands of Greek manuscripts that corroborate the eye witness testimony of the gospels.
Islam is a man-made religion established 500 years after the Resurrection. You have no legitimate claim to the truth.
When Jesus gave that command, he meant it literally. We know this for a fact because none of his followers understood what he meant, and when they asked him to explain- because clearly, they all thought he was speaking symbolically too- all he did was repeat himself. He didn't change a word of what he said. They concluded that he was crazy for saying this and abandoned him. Only the twelve stayed.
This does NOT mean they were taught to be cannibals and eat the flesh off his bones. He was not talking about his earthly flesh and blood. He meant the flesh and blood of the divine substance shared between him, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. This is called consubstantiation; the one defining aspect of the trinity. It is THAT substance which makes them three in one God. This is the substance Jesus consumed at the Last Supper with his disciples. And it's the Holy Spirit who continues to distribute this substance to the Hosts and the wine we receive in the Eucharist.
And for further context, on the day of the Resurrection, the disciples felt as though they saw a ghost when they met Jesus. It's not just because he rose from the dead. They knew that there was something different about him, and they didn't understand what it was. What changed was his body. Jesus was no longer in the flesh he was born in, but the divine flesh made from the same substance I just described. Lazarus didn't assume a new body when he was Resurrected, but had his old flesh restored. But Jesus showed us his divine nature when he returned by taking on new flesh. This flesh is what enabled him to be assumed back into Heaven. And this is exactly what he wants to share with us, hence his command to consume his flesh and blood through the Eucharist. Without it, we cannot have eternal life, which he demonstrated to us directly as he was carried away from the Earth.
@NRPeterElliot@ZoomerHistorian@ma1ybe That's exactly the point. "Abortion rights" were never about protecting the mother. They were simply about giving the mother fresh victims.
@Zack_magaig Accountability for what? SHE's the one who needed that, and that's exactly what she got. You don't fucking ram a law enforcement officer with your vehicle.
@MasterMaliq @LeVrai_Rene I want you to publicly condemn the Muslim "extremists" responsible for the deaths of Nigerian Christians. And then, I want you to publicly condemn them for 9/11. Call them out and condemn them in the name of Allah.
