I cannot fathom being apathetic to history

[Andy Pierce]

What do you make of people who are apathetic to history? They literally do not care if they have a shred of evidence for any number of conspiracy theories.

I can at least imagine being a flat Earther since that's based on lines of reasoning and attempts to explain evidence. I cannot imagine denying the existence of math. A lot of people deny 0.99999… = 1

I cannot fathom not caring about what happened in the past.

I care enough about history to know the guy in the video here has two historical errors in the first 48 seconds.

it happens, sadly.

He has a few dozen followers. His followers are proud of this video and brag about believing it. I cannot imagine.

I would express my opinion about that guy but I'm sure it would violate a whole bunch of forum rules.

Literal pride in being uneducated. Cursed Protestant Nonsense on Twitter: ""The early church was BAPTIST! Constantine created the Catholic Church!" "Ignatius of Antioch? Clement of Rome? Who are they?" https://t.co/cxxAP7LJiy" / Twitter

Lol. The video guy says Catholic and Orthodox have different bibles. Rome has the Sinaiticus and Vaticanus while Orthodox use the "correct" Textus Receptus. The closes ancient manuscript which is based on our Orthodox Bible is the Codex Alexandrinus.
And whether the Sinaiticus, Vaticanus or Alexandrinus they are all koine Greek originals from Alexandria.

 

[SamanthaAnastasia]

Oh. That guy. That guy.

I literally can’t even.

Lord have mercy on him.

 

[GreekOrthodox]

The comments on the first video are funny as heck.

Oh... In hopping around I found this video of a Lutheran pastor explaining the difference between the Lutheran view of the Real Presence and Catholic transubstantiation. He very briefly goes into the Orthodox view around the 1:40 mark.

He openly mocks a variety of different cultures
They call him the hate-pastor because his sermons are hate filled. Not a fire and brimstone pastor like some baptist pastors…an actual hate-pastor.
He has called for the death penalty of homosexuals. He is a pastor of Faithful Word Baptist Church which has been labeled by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an anti-gay hate group.

While homosexuality and all sexual immorality is a sin, advocating the death penalty for it is not really the best way to go about “winning souls” (as he puts it).

I just kinda feel bad for him.

Lord have mercy.

good for him

 

[Not David]

Why are we talking about Steven Anderson? He is just your regular heretical leader.

 

[SamanthaAnastasia]

good for him

Sorry, I was just answering your question of who he was. Sorry.

 

[ArmyMatt]

Sorry, I was just answering your question of who he was. Sorry.

haha, sorry, you're good. that was all I could think to say because of how bad it is.

Lord have mercy on him.

I've never heard of him before. Steven Anderson is his name. But I know a lot about what he preaches. I used to believe everything he's saying. There's an idea among some protestants that go variously by Baptists, Independent Baptist, Non-denominational, Bible Baptist, and several other names. Just so everyone knows, they follow a type of Alexander Hislop/James Milton Carroll version of Christian history that has it that some loose group of people throughout history have held to the teachings of the apostles since the foundation of Christianity, but have remained outside of the Church. I could go on and on about their beliefs.

What brought me to my senses was hitting the stone wall of simple arithmetic. If you follow their logic to its natural conclusion, that being "everybody else is wrong and I'm right", it leads eventually to the idea that you yourself are the only one going to heaven. And yes, I'm serious. The one question they cannot answer is "if this group has existed throughout history, how did you meet them"? There is no answer to that question because they never met that group of people because that group of people does not exist.

What's funny is in Greece there is a tiny sect of neopagans who teach the pagan version of this. That they are descendant of a secret underground Hellenic pagan catacomb sect that managed to survive christianization and remain hidden. Meanwhile most still have christian first AND last names. Greek custom still practises is your first name is the passed down name of your grandparents!
