Do Catholics and Orthodox have a different teaching regarding profanity? The seem to be a lot more relaxed about it compared to Protestants. I grew in a non-denominational(which is basically Baptist lite) community and even saying something as benign as "ass" was seen as a borderline sin. I've noticed, however, that Apostolics tend to swear and make vulgar jokes much more frequently than Protestants. Even the priest at this Catholic parish I visited last Sunday made a joke about a the breasts of a woman he knew growing up when telling the congregation to dress modestly. I wasn't offended truth be told, I make worse jokes than that all the time, but it was surprising to hear a priest say something like that. Do you guys have a different teaching regarding this sort of thing?
Do Catholics and Orthodox have a different teaching regarding profanity...
Orthodox here, I do my best to not swear and keep my speech clean as possible.
I can assure you that the vulgarity issue isn't just with us, I've come across some Protestants with filthy mouths.
Vulgarity is a minor sin for both Catholics and Orthodox. We try to avoid it best we can but sadly here on Zig Forums people tend to swear a lot which makes me swear.
orthodox baptist here. that means i believe the bible. and the bible says
but youre obviously not going to obtain sinless. perfection but you obviously know its wrong otherwise you wouldnt ask about it. it doesnt matter which denomination said one way or the other.
Except the parts when it says baptism is necessary for the remission of sins, right?
baptism of the Holy Ghost?
John 1
and if baptism is required for salvation, why did Jesus get baptized? and why does the account with phillip and the ethiopian eunuch declare that what stopped the eunuch from getting baptized was necessary? here, ill quote the catholic church’s english bible.
I mean it's wrong, but unless it's directed to someone else ain't a sin (or a very light one)
The baptism of John is different from the baptism of Christ retard. The baptism of John is a preparation for the Sacrament, a sacramental.
Acts 19:1-5
And it came to pass, while Apollo was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper coasts, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples. And he said to them: Have you received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? But they said to him: We have not so much as heard whether there be a Holy Ghost. And he said: In what then were you baptized? Who said: In John's baptism. Then Paul said: John baptized the people with the baptism of penance saying: That they should believe in him, who was to come after him, that is to say, in Jesus. Having heard these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
how is water the name Lord Jesus other than figuratively such as in 1 John 5:7-8? It's faith, dude. baptize means to immerse. someone who believes and doesn't get baptized can still get saved, hence the thief on the cross. And the nature of Hebrews 11 is such that "by faith when x did so and so works" that they were justified then. And seeing as how the scripture cannot be broken, did everyone before John the Baptist not get saved? Or are you some offshoot of some random dispensationalist sect?
Are you baiting or are you being serious?
People before Christ didn't need baptism because Christ wasn't incarnate yet.
Secondly the Catholic Church believes in the baptism by blood and baptism of desire. The first applies to people who were killed in the name of Christ but weren't baptised, their love for God and wish to be baptised in Christ, that is to be part of his flock saves them. The second applies to people that have the desire to be baptised but they can't be for various reasons.
Thus the Good Thief is saved since he really wanted to be with Christ. It was a perfect Contrition.
That's why unbaptised babies can't go to heaven since they can't desire the baptism and God.
But babies who were massacred in the name of Christ like those that Herod killed are in heaven.
I recommend you to look into the Catholic believe of the Baptism before affirming your point with memes.
