I mean heck take Mt. 28:16-20. Last I checked it wasn't "Go and make disciples of your own nation" Well not all of the bible is the real bible. Over the centuries, certain parts were corrupted by a secret order of globalists who infiltrated groups translating and printing biblical documents, so over time, globalist propaganda seeped into the bible itself and is now accepted by indoctrinated Christians who don't know the difference between real bible passages and globalist fake news bible passages. Only vlado and others in his orthodox Christian circle can differentiate. In the real bible, everything that vlado says is reinforced. Everything he disagrees with is fake bible news propaganda made by globalists. Isn't that right, vlado? --- Place-holder sig because new phone and old sigs not saved :/ ... Copied to Clipboard!

All abrahamic religion is inherently globalist, with huge importance on spreading the word and saving as much of the world as possible
Hence of course, crusades, missionaries, and Christianity's role in colonialism. As well as some religious laws that guided who's allowed to marry who, generally promoting religious men to marry other affiliated women so that their children would have to under the man's religion, essentially getting Religions generally want a huge population above all as that's what gives them power and influence.

I have bad news for you. The New Testament is even harsher on globalist pseudo-values. Tom Bombadil posted... No? I'm saying that love (for God and fellow man) and faith (in Christ) are core tenets of Christianity. IIRC originally I called them globalist sarcastically because I don't see how they are compatible with might makes right, or nationalism. There's no political ideology love and faith are more compatible with than nationalist. Faith in God, love for your family and people, leading to a stable, safe, prosperous society. That is nationalism in a nutshell. Watch Trump's famous speech in Poland. Tom Bombadil posted... A) America is not a particularly Christian country, and arguably has never been WRONG! Read even just the Declaration of Independence. How do you call yourself a Christian (or an American) if you hold such obviously false positions? Tom Bombadil posted... B) And how d'you propose he's gonna do that when he has shown no signs of caring about them beyond a lip service level? If there is a will, there are thousands of ways. Whether there's really a will is questionable, you're right about that. But there's also a deep state that obstructs Trump so much that every single inch is gained after struggle. He must clean it up if anything is to be done. Tom Bombadil posted... From the same religion and culture. You must help your people first. You help yourself and your family first. As part of people X, you help your compatriots first, foreigners after. As a Christian, you obviously prioritise Christians over atheists and other religions. There is nothing more natural than this. Tom Bombadil posted... What's the difference, then? The difference is massive. I'm arguing from a pragmatic position, you and especially these misguided "liberals" attacking me are arguing from a position of unachievable (not to mention unpractical) idealism. I ACKNOWLEDGE the situation as it is in objective reality, and I point out how things should be in the desired future. You mix up the two things. In a perfect world, "might makes right" would not need to be true, but in the world we live in, it is. Look at any war in history and what the winners do to the losers. "Winners write history" is fact. The winner will always present himself as the "good guy" and "morally right." Any study of history that is beyond painfully superficial will reveal that that's never really the case, and that wars are fought for any reason but morality or "good" and "evil." You must remember. Humans will be the same no matter how much technology changes. No amount of brainwashing can change that. Communists already tried. It didn't work. Now, the cultural branch of marxism are trying. It's not working. Other anti-human factions will surely try, too. It won't work. We must operate with the knowledge of how humans are, and work from there to advance mankind. NOT try to change humans. KanzarisKelshen posted... @Tom_Bombadil just wanted to say thanks for debating Vlado from a religious angle.

Vladdy plz respond 2 162 Why, though. That's straight-up trolling. Jakyl25 posted... Vlado posted... ? That's not a property of the "globalist era" (1991-2015). Lots of people didn't like to kill the "savages" at the time, either. At the end, only the actions actually matter, not the opinions and sympathy. And those in power take the decisions for the actions. That's one thing you truly fail to grasp. WHAT HAPPENED matters. Not WHY, not WHAT YOU FEEL about it, not WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED otherwise. Judge by actions, not words, not feelings and opinions. That's one thing where our political standpoints fundamentally differ. It must be very clear that this here is not just some argument where people try to outsmart each other, this here is two sides coming from diametrically opposed political viewpoints. You represent the old globalist order with US at the top that died circa 2015, I represent the emerging multipolar world of numerous strong nations maintaining balance in the world by maintaining the power balance between themselves. USA has today become a joke, a shadow of its former self, thanks to globalism. Trump reduced to begging China to buy US farm produce... The country has never been so divided politically, and it's because people in the red states see what's truly happening, while the likes of you are sedated or even want to see their country crumble. You must understand, no matter which side prevails, the conflict in the US is about the future of the US alone now. The world is already out of globalism's reach. CIA assets getting crushed by the Syrian army shows it as clearly as any other big event unfolding around us in the last few years. When's the last time globalism achieved a significant military or even electoral victory? Even Macron's win in France was only possible because the puppetmasters presented him as a "new" face, forming a "new" party. Other than that, losses or at least decline everywhere. Wins or at least increase in the results of nationalists everywhere. And that's despite google, facebook and fully globalist-controlled old media having all but an iron grip on information among the average people in "the west." You can only do so much with an ideology that rejects objective reality. People look around and see that what google, facebook and the media tell them is a lie. YOU CANNOT STOP IT. --- Blitzball fan?

Please explain how those verses defend globalist "values." you seem to define "globalism" as "giving a flying crap about people who aren't like me" and Jesus seems to be in favor of that Vlado posted... And is that all you have to say about this? yep Vlado posted... The point is most certainly not that you should love those who seek to destroy you (and let them destroy you). It's a joke if you interpret it that way - read what you quoted! The point is simply that you can be a better person if you can extend your love even towards the ones who are misguided. Christ does not tell us to be suicidal. yep I too remember when Jesus was on the cross and went "Father screw these guys for they know not what they do" Vlado posted... Sin grows and grows, you sit by idly and tell me to love the sinner and let them do what they want. these are two different things and only one of them I am pushing for --- Look at all those chickens There's a hunger in the land, there's a reckoning still to be reckoned ...

Tom Bombadil posted... yep I too remember when Jesus was on the cross and went "Father screw these guys for they know not what they do" I repeat: The point is most certainly not that you should love those who seek to destroy you (and let them destroy you). It's a joke if you interpret it that way - read what you quoted! The point is simply that you can be a better person if you can extend your love even towards the ones who are misguided. Christ does not tell us to be suicidal. Nor to prioritise outsiders over our own. That's madness! Maybe you were thought otherwise at Protestant school, in which case, sad. You were taught wrong. Tom Bombadil posted... these are two different things and only one of them I am pushing for So how are you working to convince the populace to stay away from degeneracy? Tom Bombadil posted... bonus question: How do you define "Christian values"? That's an easy one. Read the New Testament, particularly what Christ says. It seems you fell for the "hopelessly passive pacifist Jesus" meme, even though the New Testament directly rejects it. Christ whips the merchants out of the temple, He says He's bringing us not peace, but a sword. He knows conflict is inevitable, and that there will be people who will reject Him, and that those people will come after Him and the ones who accept Him. Clearly, Christ does not reject violence entirely. When it's necessary, He employs it. You've fallen victim to exaggerating certain verses and conveniently ignoring others. Use your own head! Love, faith, knowledge, belief in something greater than yourself (God), rejecting degeneracy, striving your whole life towards God. In other words, never falling into complacency, always striving to be a better person. Life is a constant struggle, and that is how it has to be. You will reach Heaven if you do not falter in that struggle. It is not a sin to protect your people. Peace___Frog posted... Lol my fanfic from earlier got deleted. Poor snowflake with hurt feelings I have never marked a post in my 14 years on gamefaqs. Stop projecting - if I cared what you thought about me, I wouldn't be posting these topics for years. --- Blitzball fan? Try Captain Tsubasa II (in English) for NES!

No, I don't. Prioritising your own people does not mean you do not care about anyone else. I agree I guess, but I feel like it's an easy trap to be so consumed with "prioritising your own people" that you never get around to the "care about anyone else" part. Based on your posts here and elsewhere, it seems to be a trap you've fallen into, along with a decent chunk of the church. Vlado posted... I repeat: well if you're not gonna add anything I guess i don't have to either I will add more examples of "love your enemies" tho: -Paul was seeking to eradicate Christianity before God brought him over to become one of the greatest apostles -That time that Paul could've escaped prison really easily but instead stayed and converted the jailer -Telling Peter to put away his sword when he tried to cut Jesus out of the arrest, then healing the wound he inflicted on the bad guy Vlado posted... You've fallen victim to exaggerating certain verses and conveniently ignoring others. Use your own head! Maybe, although you're putting words in my mouth. Never called Jesus a pacifist, but there are certainly also examples of Him showing kindness or love or at least mercy to His enemies, and having His followers do the same. More than the one time with the Temple, although it certainly evens out if you look at all the war and stuff in the OT. Vlado posted... Love, faith, knowledge, belief in something greater than yourself (God), rejecting degeneracy, striving your whole life towards God. In other words, never falling into complacency, always striving to be a better person. Life is a constant struggle, and that is how it has to be. You will reach Heaven if you do not falter in that struggle. Only thing I disagree with here kinda sorta is that you reach Heaven by accepting Christ's gift of salvation, not by works. You're gonna falter in the struggle. You're human. Also I don't see much love in your posts, with the exception of how welcoming you are to non-b8ers. Vlado posted... So how are you working to convince the populace to stay away from degeneracy? By treating the root problem of separation from Christ. Even if you can somehow reduce degeneracy (I'm assuming your "degeneracy" is interchangable with my "sin") by screaming on social media, you still have a buncha people out there that need salvation, and will still need salvation no matter what particular sin you talk them out of. I'd rather see a "degenerate" who has come to Christ and is trying than somebody who is still unsaved but hey they're doing what we want them to do with their genitals On top of that, I think it's probably more effective to try to display a good example of Christ to the unbeliever than to tell them all the reasons they suck. I will admit that I am probably not as active evangelically as I should be, but it's my approach to at least try to plant some seeds and nurture relationships that could bear fruit later. There's a pretty big (and more frequently accurate than I'd like) stereotype of (American) Christianity as racist and homophobic and arrogant and generally hateful. If I can present an alternative narrative to the rest of the world, I think they'll be more likely to come around later, and if not, at least I've made the world a bit better. Maybe I'm too soft, but I'd rather err on the side of being too soft than too hard. there are also plenty of people screaming about lgbt and abortion so that's an angle that's already covered whether it needs to be or not --- Look at all those chickens There's a hunger in the land, there's a reckoning still to be reckoned ...

bonus question: What's the difference between Orthodoxy and Protestantism? My entire exposure to it has been A) you, and B) an old manager telling everybody we were weird because we celebrated Easter on the wrong day, so I don't actually know where you're coming from theologically.

Can we please stop feeding vlado hits. Hes in all likelihood getting paid for this or his family/loved ones/who knows arent getting murdered for this. He likely has other online personas on larger sites and this is probably what he needs to do to continue to be allowed to make some of his more normal topics he makes on this board. Im trying to feed his family --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DRlKR5nU8AA_v_C?format=jpg&name=large ... Copied to Clipboard!
