Yes? Perhaps Ms. Lelya has learned how to write convoluted (from her perspective) and frankly contradictory things as evidence. But the argument with her at the end, first with Ganymede, who simply doesn't understand the meaning of Christianity.
Quote:
"But... this is what we see in scripture, i.e., the internal logic and interconnections of this religion, as outlined by the Apostle Paul, John the Theologian, and others. But what about in practice? Where in scripture, i.e., in the sources of early Christianity, is there mention of saints? Of the Mother of God? Of the Trinity? If the Apostle Paul speaks of "saints," it is exclusively about those living Christians who have dedicated themselves to serving God in the name of Jesus. Nowhere in the New Testament will you find justification for the current prayers to saints, to the Mother of God, and to the Trinity, and even to Jesus as an incarnate hypostasis of God."
I'm saying the same thing! This is also what Protestantism says. Remember the commandment: "You shall not make idols or images?" And in the end, they made icons and don't care about anything else. But I'm not judging, I'm just stating a fact. In the Bible, dear Lelya, the Mother of God is not mentioned, only as the Virgin Mary, and simply as a pure woman, period. And you cannot pray to a person, and Mary was and is a person. Ganymede, you're saying Christianity for the hundredth time, using your knowledge of Orthodoxy. I've been in both, so I'll repeat, all of this is absent in Protestantism, where the only law is the Bible. There are no elaborate robes, hundreds of rituals, icons, and so on. I'm judging based on the fundamentals, and you're talking about what was acquired by one of the streams. Don't even try to prove that the atheistic theory is even a gram more proven than the theory of creationists. I've read the Talmud and books, arguments of physicists on forums (it's a difficult thing, but such global ideas...), so I can confidently say that there is no proof of evolution. (In science, as long as there is at least one factor (scientific) that atheists have not been able to refute, they have no right to consider their theory proven. Let them use their colossal knowledge and create a dog-bird. I will immediately become an atheist.) So, there's no point in arguing, but rather, we should consider the issues in parallel (as I try to do). From the point of view of both versions. And let's end these silly squabbles. Christianity did not come from paganism; otherwise, you don't know what's written in the Bible well enough.
It's generally pointless to argue with Lelya; she tries to prove something based on her simplistic worldview.
(The topic about UFOs, where she says that there are many gods) - this is already, dear, paganism, not Christianity. Either one, or paganism. First, say how many, and then we'll talk.
