Edit: this is about apolistic succession
For those who don’t get the reference, I think this is referring to the Mark of Cain teaching in Mormonism. This resulted in black members of the church being seen as lesser or inferior by many white members. The church officially abandoned it as an official teaching in 1978. But the stigma for black members still persists to some degree unofficially, with some white church members still believing it today.
No, it’s referring to apolistic succession
Black members of the church didn’t exist before 1978. If you had any African ancestry at all they wouldn’t even teach you, you couldn’t join at all, it was part of the missionary lessons, they asked you if you had any African heritage.
I still think It’s weird how christians worship a Jew.
And an edible zombie one at that.
Who’s wasted 24/7.
Lich. He meets the criteria way better.
I came here to say basically the same thing.
Have people forgotten, that Jesus is considered the King of the Jews? 🤔
A rando born in a barn and who was wanted dead by his people is the king of them?
Says who.
He’s not. He’s a Roman, his father’s a centurion in the Jerusalem garrison, and his name is Naughtius Maximus.

I’m not religious BTW.
So it’s by Christians, who the fuck are they to decide who someone else’s king is.
Might want to look into how Christianity came to be. It wasn’t a separate religion early on
He was not considered the king of Jews by the Jews though (except mockingly). I should think they would have a say in the matter.
I dunno, I never met the fella 🤷♂️
It really just boils down to people arguing over which is better Judaism or Judaism Special Edition.
I guess that’s straight from the priest’s dick.
Nothing straight about this DLC
How can a person be a follower of himself?
A lot of people don’t follow their own advice or beliefs. It’d actually be super cool to find someone who does.

Real Christians understand there is no 1 true religion. Jesus said follow him, not xyz church.
What makes one a true christian?
Well, according to the person you replied to Christians doesn’t exist, so it is a moot questions.
Charitable works, a life of pacifism, poverty and asceticism spent caring for the needy and an on going good-faith attempt to make good on mistakes that deviate from that.
Where does buying a second jet to ensure there’s no downtime in spreading the word of the lord fit into that list?
It doesn’t.

Which “Christians”?
"Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?”
He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?” He said, “A Christian.” I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me, too! What franchise?” He said, “Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?” He said, “Northern Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?”
He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.” I said, “Me, too!”
Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.” I said, “Die, heretic!” And I pushed him over."
