Christian Discussion Thread XI: Anicetus’ Revenge

[Auristania]

So if Ethiopia does have the Ark Of The Covenant, would the Vatican want it or would Israel want it back?

Being a holy artifact, it should obviously be given to the Vatican.

It should be studied by top men. TOP MEN>

The truth is, it's highly unlikely that we're actually going to make any real change in society as a whole regardless of the method.

If we flip the narrative and say that there's a drug or technology that would make everyone asexual until they're married, what would be the church's stance on this?

The Pope would declare it to be Heresy.
1200 ish,
Pope: Sex is the worstest sin evah, therefore, every time you do it, you must pay a shilling to the priest.

Cathars and Gnostics and Albigensian Heretics: We agree that teh Sex is the worstest sin evah, we are going to stop doing it.

Pope: That's nice, but you still gotta pay shilling to the priest.

Cathars etc: If we don't to the sin, we don't need to pay.

Pope: Heresy! Crusade! Kill them all!

This is a funny joke that would be great for a comedian to deliver but don't misrepresent my faith because you're trying to be funny. There's souls at stake that are going to reject Christ because they're not properly informed.

Both of them would likely want it*, but it should probably just stay where it is so there isn't a fight about it.
*Edit: thinking about it, Israel the state might be indifferent, but the Jews in Israel might want it. Either way, the point still stands.

If it were the real deal, it shouldn't be moved.

The Ethiopians have been doing a good job keeping it so far.

The folklore surrounding the Ark in Ethiopia is that God intended for it to end up there, so moving it might be a really, really bad idea.

I see the British are outsourcing.

Well the Ethiopians consider themselves as Beta Israel (an ancient tribe of Israel) and that their kingship descended from King Solomon, so it perfectly fits the narrative and folklore that God intended it to be kept there.

If they truly did have the Ark it probably wouldn't be moved anywhere. Besides, no-one (except Moses) could see the Ark with their own eyes, because it is the literal representative of God.

Beta Israel huh? Didn't know Ethiopia described themselves like that.

Still waiting for the full version of Israel.

One can look at the exterior of the Ark, but not the interior, unless one is a priest.

Cool. We can finally find out which denomination is the correct one by seeing which priests melt.

Does it count as a twist if it's what most of us were expecting?

I think they either fall over dead, or explode. The melting thing is a Hollywood invention.

If you died tonight, would you know where you’d go? Accept Jesus into your heart tonight, and you will go to heaven!

As a former Baptist I advise you not to wound me so.
