things which encourage men to commit the sin of onan are mortally sinful, so it cannot be encouraged for you to view these things, but know in their completion you'd have the total humiliation of the enemies of god. To this ends, you might be elated, for christ is victorious in the manner than he was victorious when he rose from the dead. 

God be with us!

Yes. 

Not only this, Maxine Dietrich, or Andrea Herrington (real name) was a groomer. She used the cult to ensnare teen boys that she would have sex with.

Frieren was fantastic. I was worried at first that it would be another ‘organized religion is bad’ type of show, but I was pleasantly surprised by how respectfully it was handled. The storytelling and worldbuilding were quite engaging.

The way Frieren portrayed demons was great. Ruthless, bloodthirsty, and, above all, deceptive. This goes so far beyond some sort of ‘what if demons were just misunderstood?’. In fact, the demons in Frieren constantly manipulate people into thinking that they are just misunderstood, so they can bring their guards down.

I also quite enjoyed Dungeon Meshi. The story is about an adventurer and his party trekking through a dungeon after being defeated by a dragon, in the hopes that they might recover the adventurer’s little sister, who was eaten by the dragon. After losing to the dragon, they had no resources left, so they have to resort to eating dungeon monsters to stay alive. It starts out light-hearted and a bit silly, but it gets more serious the deeper they get in the dungeon. Though I don’t remember any explicitly religious themes, it does touch on a lot of deep themes (which it often manages to tie back into food), and there’s a great variety of characters who have many interesting interactions.

It’s refreshing to see thoughtful fantasy settings in anime like Dungeon Meshi and Frieren, when there are so many anime these days based around bland isekai tropes.

Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
Like many of you I myself am struggling with pornography addiction and have been trying to beat this illness for the better part of 3 years now. I'm dedicating this thread to all my other brothers in arms out there who are fighting the good fight against the wiles of the devil, Lucifer, and his legion of degeneracy he throws our way.

I'll be using this thread as both a catalogue of my own experiences, so that they may be used by others for their own benefit, and as a place to store, discuss, and share data, tips, and motivation so as to help us addicts overcome our desire so that we may enjoy life as God intended with clarity of mind and spirit.

i need a wife
it's no longer a matter of i want one, i NEED one. paul says that a life of chastity is not meant for everyone, and most men cannot stop themselves from fornicating, and therefore it is best that he find a wife as soon as possible. the problem is i have no idea where to find a worthwhile one. dating apps are useless. all the women at my church are either underage or already married. i truly don't know where to turn at this point.

After going through some ideas in the meta thread, one that I've been considering a lot lately is creating a dedicated, stickied thread that acts as a guide for anything and everything Christianity. This includes different versions of the Bible, texts from Church fathers and scholars, literature, education material, films, TV shows, music, podcasts, everything that would be beneficial to both old and new believers alike. Each of it will be organized in one very large thread for easy browsing. And that's where (You) come in.
If you have something that falls into any category listed above (and then some), post it here.
>If you have a link, post it along with a working archive (VERY important. Once it's on the Internet, it's there forever, until it isn't.). Use a website like https://archive.fo/ to check for and make backups.
>If it's an image, document, or audio/video file, post a link to it and post the file in the thread as well. I will work on getting these archived somewhere like Mega that allows playing them back in the browser. You may download YouTube videos using ytp-dl or through various Invidious instances (https://invidio.us) that allow downloading.

Since this is somewhat the default education thread for this board, I am going to drop this off here. This is the complete 81-lecture course from Wheaton College on The History of Philosophy by Christian philosopher Dr. Arthur F. Holmes. I have not completed the entire course, but it is invaluable, and I find it goes along well if you also read from Frederick Copleston's 9-volume work A History of Philosophy. Provided is a short clip on Hegel and German Idealism.

Some personal tips for evangelizing Jews from my own experience: firstly recognize that the Jews come in a few categories. Jewish atheists are not relevant to this thread, they should be dealt with as any other atheist. Some Jews will view Jesus as a wise rabbi, most who oppose you will view Him as a sorcerer (this should not surprise you as we see much the same division between the unbelieving Jews in the gospels). Some Jews will be more or less informed about their religion and ours, but the ones to watch out for are those (typically orthodox but probably at least conse

Thread for discussing and sharing literature relevant to the Christian faith.

I bought a copy of The Pilgrim's Progress, I read it years ago in high school and I really wanted to go through it again without staring at a PDF, and it makes for good reading before bed. I had no idea there was a part two in the story as well, where after Christian makes it to the Celestial City his wife and children go on their own journey to it as well. Apparently in high school we only ever read part one.

What have you been reading lately?

I finished this a couple weeks ago, volumes 1 and 2 (one of the earlier prints from the 90s with both versions combined into one). It's very good, gives a very detailed overview of Christiainity throughout the ages. Shame that it stops in the early 90s though (my version at least, with the stained glass cover) but still a very good resource.
Currently on another non-religious book from John Taylor Gatto on the issues with modern schooling, then looking into something new and Christian-focused. I might try reading The Silmarillion again but there are so many names and races to keep track of it got really hard to memorize and I quit not even halfway through.

This is a fantastic lecture by John Granger on the Christian symbolism of the Harry Potter series. It discusses Soul Triptychs, Literary Alchemy, and Ring Composition. This talk was given back in 2011 at the Eighth Day Institute. It is a little over an hour to listen to, so if you would rather watch something instead, there is another talk by John Granger that was uploaded to YouTube, so I will add that as well.

Enhanced version
Calling it "literature" might be a bit of a stretch, but I finally sat down and read the Rule of St. Benedict. There's definitely a lot of good advice that can be extracted from it even for a layman, though a lot of it just deals with the practical arrangement of a monastery. I did like how it ended with the message that if you want to learn more about being a good monk you should read the Bible and the lives of the saints.

I ignore it and don't waste my time arguing with someone who has no interest in arguing and just wants to dump strawman and ad-hominem infographs to make me mad. I stopped going on any kind of /pol/ a long time ago and I'm much better off because of it.
>>27285 (OP) 
This is a "last resort" tactic that all opponents of Christianity use, I would even wager Jews use it as well simply because a portion of Christians at least in the United States are dispensationalists and because of that there is this widespread misconception which has been historically debunked that somehow Jews are our "older brothers" so to speak. There is a lot of material out there that debunks these claims solidly, but until it is weaponized into meme form and infographics, it does little to engage in debate, because until you overcome the semantic gaslighting, you won't get anywhere, and are dogpiled from every side. I generally avoid /pol/ Christian threads now, because it is a dogpile, and this fallacious argument will always keep coming up. Here are some videos that might be helpful for making clips and memes. Unfortunately, many still use the term Judaism and Jew interchangeably with Israelite or Hebrew, as is the case in a couple of these videos, even though they still make the distinction from Rabbinic Judaism. However, the videos solidify the case that Christianity is in direct continuity with Israel.

What is Rabbinic Judaism?

Hey anons. After a long while in the desert outside of Christianity and God I've decided to climb my way out and begin reading The Bible and attempting to study theology and spirituality again. One of the art forms that's given me a sense of meaning throughout my life has been film. I've heard of some classic cinema that's Christian themed, but the only director who's discussed the faith has been Ingmar Bergman with Seventh Seal. 

I really enjoy getting personal recommendations from people but I also love the charts people make for  different subjects so I'm curious to see if there are any /christian/ film charts as well. So yeah, any recommendations for stuff to watch while I'm embarking on my spiritual journey would be incredibly appreciated! Thanks for the consideration, guys.
