Yeah. This is standard orthodox teaching, but you can’t get to everyone. It’s sad. I will have more grief if a sodomite is beaten to death than a faithful Christian, purely because I have full confidence that the Christian is with god, but with the sodomite idk
For Christianity, I think it’s not about religions changing. I think it’s about everyone getting the choice of following a religion or not. I don’t think people should be forced to follow any religion, I just think they should be properly informed. I don’t think people should be made compromise on their religious values in the pursuit of “inclusivity” so long as their values aren’t physically harming anyone.
moments like these i wish there was a dislike button
that's what I'm known for
Fair enough.
Late, but even Iran was pretty nice and on the way to be a Turkey-esque secular nation back in the 1970s before the extremists took over (of course the monarchy had its own issues, but they were certainly not the Islamic hardliners of today)
Relatively yes. Of course you had the bazaaris and the ulema, especially the part based in Qom, still excerting major influence on the populace. But of course in no way the same amount as the current clergy leadership does.

I mean if we go along these lines then I would believe that you aren’t going to heaven as Catholicism is the only correct interpretation of the Bible. We are the church built upon the rock. But I think that it’s okay to become more inclusive, that’s why I think you’ll make it. The whole point of Christ is to be loving. To be kind. To be helpful. We should be inclusive of all peoples and at the end of the day I truly believe that all will find heaven. Personally I don’t even believe in hell. God is all loving and hell is not a part of the Bible
I ran out of popcorn yesterday :((
There is a certain Norwegian on the server who mostlikely would disagree with you here.

Hezbollah and the removal/murder of Christian communities; forcing their exile into the West. Like Iranians, many Lebonese fled the now Islamic dominant government.
Hamas being an terrorist organisation support by the previously mentioned Iranian extremist government - they're a terrorist organisation that uses religion and, well, terror in order to rule over a territory. They're not exactly a shining example of beholders of an enlightened version of the Islamic faith.
Yes. While I do agree with the fact that Hezbollah was obviously inspired by the Iranian revolution and by vilayat-e-faqih ideology, as well as funded from the start by the Iranian regime, the basis for the movement is very much tied with the religious situation in Lebanon and with the geopolitics surrounding the Lebanese civil war, especially because of the Israeli invasion of South Lebanon. Especially as the south is primarily shi'ite and they have had a history of relative under-representation (debatable but heard this a lot) compared to the maronite and sunni communities.
Additionally and I should have pointed this out earlier, my main point was also to do with the notion that the whole of Lebanon was corrupted by Iran. As the maronites and sunnis still wield a lot of power, my view is more that the Iranian regime has managed to make the shi'ite population more extreme. Which you could argue has made the whole power structure more radicalized.
Hell even parts (although afaik minor) of the sunni population there even welcomed ISIS.
Whole country is a mess sadly.
Wrong. Jesus said whoever confessed their faith in Jesus with their lips and had the Holy Spirit in their hearts would inherit the kingdom of heaven. Also the bible does refer to hell, but not as “hell” usually more like “the lake of burning sulfur” or something. The bible references hell in Matthew 8:12, 2 Thessalonians 1:9, Revelation 14:11, John 3:18, Luke 12:4-5, the list goes on.
I already know this statement could start a war, so imma not…
Seg be doing good work out there
