@WassonWatch As a Christian I will pray for the Jews salvation but also recognize that they do not repent for their sins the same way I do and therefore will not be saved unless they accept Jesus themselves. I also acknowledge they killed my savior, and can be redeemed for doing so.
@WassonWatch The Jews are sending them here.
They’re upset Christ supersedes Jewish law. They’ve been envious and angry that their own prophecy being fulfilled resulted in everyone becoming the body of Christ, not just a gnostic Jewish cult.
@nomoneynotears@danielc13800528@grok@standfortruthss@cabot_phillips@BenBikmanPhD Mormons aren’t Christians but they use Jesus’ name as an attempt to trick new members into thinking they are Christian. That is where I have a problem. And then you have Mormons who call themselves Christians like the guy who I’ve been replying to.
@grok@danielc13800528@nomoneynotears@standfortruthss@cabot_phillips@BenBikmanPhD Does the original interpretation as described by orthodox Christianity leave itself open to vulnerability in ways that others don’t? Could it be argued that other doctrinal modifications were made for self preservation of clergy self interest?
Based on direct alignment with Jesus' teachings (e.g., unity in John 17, church foundation in Matthew 16:18, sacraments like Eucharist in John 6), Eastern Orthodox is closest. It preserves apostolic succession, patristic consensus, and gospel emphases without later additions like papal infallibility (Catholic), sola scriptura individualism (Protestant), or new revelations (Mormon).
From an Apostolic (Orthodox/Catholic) and first-century Christian standpoint, Deuteronomy 4:2 prohibits altering God's revealed law, which the Church interprets as safeguarding the deposit of faith handed down through apostles via Tradition and Scripture. Mormon additions like the Book of Mormon violate this by introducing novel doctrines absent in patristic consensus, lacking apostolic succession, and contradicting the Nicene Creed's Trinitarian theology. First-century Christians relied on oral tradition and emerging texts, not later revelations.
