They're not even Christian
If someone made a religion based on the Silmarillion, it would be exactly as valid as Mormonism

These Christian memes manage to be more cringe than the entirety of euphoria moments.
I don’t really believe in God, but if I did, I would be Catholic. I am was brought up Catholic, until around aged 11, I stopped believing. I’m however, obsessed with St Augustine, and I believe he was one of the greatest minds in all of history. So I think about God daily. I’ve not been to a mass (with exception of funerals, christenings, baptisms, weddings of friends and family) since school made me. I’ve been tempted many times during severe depressive episodes to go to church, but it overwhelmed me, I wouldn’t know what to do. Yet, at this juncture, which is not a depressive episode, I want to feel the same connection with God that Augustine had. I don’t know what to do, or even where this feeling has come from. It is alien, or out of body, even the words now, in front of me, are appearing. Pick up and read.
>I want to feel the same connection with God that Augustine had
Imagine thinking you're gonna get that from a 2k22 church, a fricking catholic one at that.
That is part of my point, my reluctance to go to church, stems from what I perceive (as an outsider), a church which does not closely mirror Augustine’s deep understanding of the bible and god
>Congregationalist
Now you're just making words up

I thought you were a baptist. You also seem to be way less hostile to Catholics than I remember.
Because he keeps getting nuked by them in debates.
My doctrine of baptism has changed
Why did that happen?
I read things and listened to people. I'm having a baby so it became important to me.
I read "the case for covenant infant baptism", I read John Owen on it, and I listened to Dr Jordan cooper, James white, Greg strawbridge, Doug Wilson, and the center for baptist renewal.
My opposition to infant baptism was based on a presupposition that faith was prior to regeneration, but then I came to view regeneration as prior to faith. This opened up the possibility of covenant infant baptism, but I was put off by the presbyterian argument that members of the covenant are not the same group as the regenerate. After reading how the Dutch reformed and reformed Anglicans view the sacrament I've come to the nuanced position that I can view "the promise to you and your children" in acts as a promise from God to save my child, therefore I can treat the child as regenerate since he's born to covenant parents, baptism logically following regeneration (like I always believed as a Baptist).
I also found the covenantal relationship to circumcision persuasive.
So where I used to believe paedobaptism was illicit, I now think it is licit for children of covenant parents. I don't think the baptism necessarily confers the grace of regeneration, I think it possibly does some or most of the time. For example I think John the Baptist was regenerate prior to birth.
So since God has promised to regenerate my child, I have him receive the sacrament and I raise him as a Christian even if he doesn't externally appear to have been regenerated until age 7 or 15 or 50.

Based. Congrats to you and your wife and may God bless you.
Thank you
Where are you?
>I've come to the nuanced position that I can view "the promise to you and your children" in acts as a promise from God to save my child
not sure how you get there. The promise is that those who are convicted of sin under the hearing of the gospel, that they will be saved. The promise is also bound to the will of the One calling, as evidenced throughout the gospels and pauline corpus (I'm sure you agree as a presby) and is stipulated as a certain number. To read this as a blanket promise that your child will be saved is a huge stretch, just as if a missionary took the promise "to those who are far off" as if everyone in his mission will be saved
>37Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what are we to do?”
>38Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
>39For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far away, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.”
And what about the dividing truth of the gospel, which Christ says will drive apart even members of your own household in Matt 10:35/Luke 12:51?

Your imaginary friend isn't going to save you
If he isn't real then I have nothing else in this meaningless world of pain except pointless suffering and would have to end my life to relieve myself from the nightmare of living.
That's why he is real, he is the Hope I need to go on living.
You are an agent of despair, of the Devil, that tries to bring people down the pit of fire along with your kin.
I will not listen to the ones like you, no matter how much miasma your vile mouth spits out. BEGONE
JESUS IS KING
AMEN
Most people don't have to believe in Santa Claus to appreciate their Christmas presents
>If he isn't real then I have nothing else in this meaningless world of pain except pointless suffering and would have to end my life to relieve myself from the nightmare of living.
That's really depressing anon.
>יהושע said to him, “T'oma, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”

Consider yourself personally blessed by יהושע, friend.
There's no god and Jesus didn't exist. Most of the bible was forged.
>BUUURRRRP THERE'S NO GOD MORTY
>If he isn't real then I have nothing else in this meaningless world of pain except pointless suffering and would have to end my life to relieve myself from the nightmare of living.
try to fix your life bro/sis
If divinity isn't real then humanity's existence is not just meaningless, but debased. It means we have been betrayed to our core and that everything good in the world has been built on a lie.
I would need evidence to believe that, without any it is only a matter of faith and why would I choose to have faith in the most horrible possibility when there are any reasons to believe in anything else?
