For context, I disagree with the Catholic church and I am not Catholic myself. But up until recently, I simply considered it a matter of difference, similar to a church who firmly believes that water baptism is needed for salvation, as opposed to another who simply see it as an outward expression of your conversion and faith. But with the pope's recent changes to fundamental church doctrine lately, I have to ask: Why and How can you still follow a church that is betraying the teachings of Jesus Christ himself? I understand one of the cornerstones of Catholic faith is faith in the church, so much as doctrine spoken by the pope is considered on par with scripture itself. But how can you continue to condone the actions of a MAN (Yes, the pope is human at the end of the day) who speaks "law" which directly contradicts Christ's teachings? Does this not bother you or cause a moment's pause to think "Maybe this isn't the correct church?"

I respectfully disagree. I think jews use religion as a weapon against White people for their own aggrandizement. They have the Catholic Church sponsoring the invasion of all White countries in the name of Jesus. I'm sure you've seen their JIDF memes claiming: Jesus was an immigrant... Jesus would welcome all refugees... Jesus loved diversity, equity and inclusion. Long before Christianity swept Europe, White societies from Ireland to India were civilized, safe, peaceful and prosperous. The jew has turned that altruism and empathy inherent in White people against them. The eradication of the White race is their goal. That's what makes them and everything they say, including the books written by them in the Bible, subject to doubt.

You're equating a church to the worship of Our Lord. They're not the same. In fact, Jesus himself calls out jews by calling them the synagogue of satan. In fact, he also warns us that in the final days, MANY false prophets and teachers will arise, and it's out job as a Christian to adhere to his message and his message alone.

Also Jesus did NOT welcome refugees. That is a myth. He did eventually expand the gospel to the gentiles, but his original message was for the jew only. In addition, in his story of the good Samaritan, no where in that story did he say to bring the injured man back to the Samaritans homeland for treatment. He brought him to the nearest inn, paid for a few days of rest and treatment, and went on his way.

Faith is belief without proof. I have Faith in... call it The Divine, because of the supernatural nature of the proof I've been blessed with given on occasion.

I don't have faith in the stories told by jews 2,000 years ago. I don't know how anyone can. Even if you believe the Gospel, of the 12 Apostles that actually Walked and Talked with Jesus, 3 of THEM didn't have enough faith to accept He was the Son of God. (Peter/Thomas/Judas)

I used to have a poster on my wall like Agent Mulder from the X-files, only it was a Crucifix instead of a UFO. The words were the same.

Faith is belief without proof.

The entire crux of the Christian faith is the empty tomb. Without the empty tomb, nothing else is legit. During the course of gospels, the writers take careful pains to give specific towns and cities, specific people (in as much as they could in some cases), and specific situations. These writings were done within the lifetime of people who could have discounted these claims. Mark and Matthew in particular, the two books which scholars think were the first two written, were written for specific audiences so that they could go out and verify what was being said. The fact that the only detractors of these accounts were the same jews who murdered Jesus should tell you what you need to know about it.

Even if you believe the Gospel, of the 12 Apostles that actually Walked and Talked with Jesus, 3 of THEM didn't have enough faith to accept He was the Son of God. (Peter/Thomas/Judas)

Judas killed himself because he realized he murdered the Son of God and could not handle the guilt of his actions.

Peter didn't doubt Jesus, he was a coward. There's a difference. He saw Jesus literally transfigure himself. He KNEW who Jesus is. He was just afraid, at the time, of going to the cross with his Lord.

Thomas is the only one who you could argue who had doubts prior to the resurrection. But after he touched the wounds, he himself also attested to Jesus being Lord.

John 20 24-29

24 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus[a]), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

I don't have faith in the stories told by jews 2,000 years ago.

Scribed down by jews. But if you don't have faith, I can't argue with you either way on the subject except to say that most of the OT has a lot of archeological evidence to back up the claims.
