Based Christianity for Beginners

[Guriko]

I wouldn’t call myself a born again Christian as I’ve been baptized Catholic as a child, have always believed in the existence of God and Jesus Christ but I’ll have to confess that only since recently, as in the last few years, have I thoroughly read the Bible for the first time and started following Christian doctrines with a more serious and earnest attitude, as they deserve.

Only to have a constant feeling that my knowledge of Christianity itself seems to be lacking… Questions are popping up for which I have no answer so I seek them out only to have others show themselves. It’s maddening. I feel like my knowledge of Christian culture, history, tradition itself is subpar at best and don’t really know where to start to slowly piece everything together into a cohesive whole. Maybe (probably) attaining ‘perfect’ knowledge isn’t really possible and lifelong learning should (will) be the key but I’m also at a loss on where to start.

And specifically where to start learning about ‘Based’ Christianity as in ‘Red Pill’ Christianity as my local pastors are all far too Blue Pilled and Cucked in order to be taken seriously. They all preach the sanctity of women and migrants foremost without giving proper thought to Family with God in its center guided by a good hearted man filled with the Spirit of Jesus.

Maybe others are also seeking similar things such as I am which is why I’ve decided to make this thread. Recently Roosh talked about a Christian news-site called Tru News in his podcast which I’ve started to follow, besides that I’m reading E. Michael Jones and am listening to some priests on Youtube some of the guys mentioned on the forum.

Basically I’d like to ask for recommendations on books, documentaries, interviews, podcasts etc. where I could read about the history of Christianity, it’s traditions and why they are important, how to follow Christian doctrine within this day and age from a Red Pill perspective… everything is welcome. God bless!

E Michael Jones at culturewars.com has all sorts of books, podcasts, and articles to get you started. He also has a few interviews with Roosh. That’s as a good as any place to get started. Libido dominandi is a great book to begin with.

 

[St_Johnson]

Absorb the wisdom by listening to Dr EM Jones, Owen Benjamin, Roosh ,Vox Day and Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson podcasts

Most Christian faiths are subverted at best and demonic at worst. Yes. MOST. If anyone on this site hasn't read the bible - there's a good chance you will be misled by blasphemous denominations.​

 

[Athanasius]

Stephen Anderson isn't the best for a number of reasons theologically, although to his credit he isn't afraid to attack unpopular things directly. He's kind of an Ishmael (Gen 16:12).

It's a myth that protestant evangelicalism is fully cucked, although elements of it certainly are, especially at the leadership level. White evangelicals are easily the strongest conservative voting base and where most of the Christian fervor lies in the US. They give the most to charity per capita among Christians. Trump won the white catholic vote 60-37 but won white evangelicals 81-16. This is why the media is constantly hand-wringing about them.

This is going to rankle some here, but I don't think the Protestant reformers like John Calvin have been equaled when you combine their devotion, scriptural knowledge, and courage. They were steeped in the early church fathers as well. If you want something more "today," CrossPolitic is doing some good stuff w/their various podcasts while being theologically solid.

 

[MichaelWitcoff]

Anything by Father Josiah Trenham is worth reading, watching, and listening to. You have to be very careful who you follow on this journey, because heretics like Stephen Anderson can draw people in with their charisma long before you realize how twisted their beliefs actually are. I’ve seen a guy get sucked into Anderson’s horrible little world because he totally lacked discernment, only to later embrace Orthodoxy and be so ashamed of his Andersonite past that he won’t even talk about that period of his life. Anderson’s documentary “Marching To Zion” is well done and important, but I’d still avoid him completely except for that. And before someone says Anderson is just “based” and “a strong Christian man,” go watch Vatican Catholic’s YouTube video breaking down his beliefs and ministry. The guy is an unhinged lunatic who occasionally says correct things, and it’s unfortunate that those things happen to be things the rest of Christianity has generally stopped saying - hence how and why people are drawn to him in the first place.

Stick with priests who have genuine Apostolic succession, who spend all their time in the Scriptures and the Fathers, passing on what they’ve received with no innovations or additions of their own. That’s the only way you’ll receive what Christ and the Apostles taught in the proper context, without errors.

The Saints and Fathers wrote many times more books than you’ll ever realistically get through, even the small fraction of it that’s been translated to English, but St. Vladimir’s Seminary Press has done an excellent job making what’s available organized and translated properly. Their Patristics series is great and will keep you busy for a long time.

And I second the recommendation for E. Michael Jones as well, specifically on political and cultural topics, because his views on that are largely spot-on even if he and the Orthodox have theological and ecclesiastical disagreements.

Just for the record for all the haters who prefer to read books about the Bible instead of the actual Bible itself that film Being Baptist I posted wasn't by Anderson. They do know each other though. It's not like he's the first and only Christian in history to be preaching what he does.

Speaking of Anderson though instead of making vague attacks on a man without backing anything up how's about let people hear what he has to say and make up there own minds. Gotta give credit where credits due. The man's done more to fight for and spread the Gospel than any of us probably ever have or will. Definately more than them monastery youtubers with their 2 hour PowerPoint presentations and like 3 Bible verses lol. So much for spending all their time in the scriptures.

 

[The Resilient]

The Book of Psalms, The stories of King Davids mighty men including one of his generals that slayed so many men that his sword literally, i mean LITERALLY fused to his hand because of all the fighting he had done in such an extended time frame.
Look at the badassery of how God used the prophet Nathan had more balls to confront the most supreme ruler of Israel and tell him he was a hypocritical scumbag to tell him face to face that he was a murderer and a lascivious adulterer through a parable.


start anywhre in the Old Testament. Don't forget the new testament either... Jesus beat the tar outta the (((Pharisees & Sadduccees))) in his temple for being money grubbing douchebags And didn't sin in the process. For sinning , would have invalidated the promise Jesus gave to mankind to save their souls from gehenna.


Ecclesiastes,...Lord, it's one of the most relatable books in modern time to me, and...that's a sad fact that I relate so much to ecclesiastes. It's a tide of the times, i think...But read Ecclesiastes brother. Can't go wrong there.

Is Anderson preaching the Gospel when he says that homosexuals should kill themselves? Or that it’s OK to live in sin as long as you’re “saved?” Or that repentance is “heresy?”

And how many doors have you knocked Witcoff to go and spread the Gospel? Probably none. We've been down this road before. Ain't doing it again, it goes nowhere with your vague emotional counterpoints. You obviously haven't actually listened to his sermons. Or if you have you have selected hearing. If you did actually listen you would have your own answers especially about "living in sin". And no need to mockingly use the word saved in quotes when it's a Biblical word. So I aint gonna waste my time. I'm just beating a dead horse here. OP wanted some based preaching, so I provided. He can decide.

About struggling with and continuing to sin even after accepting the Gospel. Unless your like Jesse Lee Peterson or something who claims to be sinless not one of us can continue without sinning in some or way another. Only two ways to go to heaven. You rely on yourself and your works or you get Born again and accept there's nothing you can do of your own will. 99% percent of Christians trust in themselves in some form or another to get to heaven. Sounds like a wide gate I read about...

I like Pastor Steven Anderson on YouTube. He’s based AF on all the issues. Some Catholics and Orthodox people will have issues with his theology, but to that I say, who cares? There are always going to be these theological debates and he gets the main ideas right. I’m reading a good book called ‘reflections’ that explains a lot of basic Christianity by a Catholic, Leo Clifford (I am not Catholic, but it is a good book). Also reading of the Holy Bible cover to cover. Read the Word of God for yourself. The Bible is the truth.

 

[MichaelWitcoff]

So he doesn’t teach that once you’re “saved,” it’s OK to become a fornicator, adulterer, or murderer and still be just fine with God? If you didn’t want to go down this road again, you should have picked a different route. As long as you’re on here encouraging seekers to turn towards “pastor” Anderson, I’ll be right here telling the truth about him to keep them safe from a wolf. There’s nothing “based” about telling people enslaved to sin they should just commit suicide instead of repenting. The fact that his encouragement to do so contradicts his other point about how sin is OK if you’re “saved” is secondary, since it’s not like he even attempts to be coherent in the first place.

Why don't people just read the bible directily ...Why do they have to hear a transliteration from another fallen man? Why not the divine inspiration that God breathed the word into these apostles to writ the word of christ ?

I suggested some awesome passages that you can go look at yourself. ya know...form your own opinions about. :s

 

[MichaelWitcoff]

I agree with you Pit Bull. I’m not finding any verses about how murder is OK once you’re “saved.” I’m not a huge fan of Vatican Catholic either, but they’re spot-on about his ministry and that’s very clear from the video I linked.

This is all giving me deja vu, since Anderson had cast his spell on the aforementioned last guy I tried to steer in the right direction as well. I look forward to the day Spectrum Walker joins that guy on the right side of this discussion, and will pray that a similar illumination occurs.

 

[bobmjilica]

Also, don’t get too involved in these theological debates. I’ll admit that I’m a beginner in all this, and that these theological debates are meant for scholars and priests. Read the Bible. Secondarily, read the early church fathers, and listen to sermons on YouTube, but the Bible is unparalleled. I’ll admit that I strongly disagree with people who believe that certain rites and allegiances to certain denominations are more important than the word in the Bible and what Jesus Christ taught.

FYI Calvin might well have been a crypto-talmudist according to some historians, his original family name was probably Jean Cohen.

 

[Nacho]

That pastor Anderson is a real nut job. If you like bad theology and joyless religion, then have at it hoss. Also reading the bible by yourself has led to about 30,000 different denominations. No one really had the privilege of picking up and reading the bible until the invention of the printing press. Evangelicals love these tacky talking points because they live in a bubble of modern convenience. They don't understand what a starting point is and how we have arrived to where we are in regards to the faith and church history.

 

[Bolly]

Find one sermon Michael where Anderson is telling people they can go do all these asinine things your saying and get away with it. Link to a whole sermon. Not some one minute clip taken out of context by a Catholic or other hater. You can't and you know it. Did you do everything your dad wanted you to do when you were a kid? Probably not. What happened if you rebelled against your dad? Get punished? Chastised? You got punished but he was still your father and he always will be.What makes God any different. In 1st Corinthians it's mentioned that God killed something like 20,000 fornicators to make an example out of them.Try having that on your mind while you're down in South America trying to party. Lol.

I got no hard feelings towards you man. I just think you have a personal grudge against the guy because he says some pretty intense things and let your emotions cloud your thought. No way any reasonable man who isn't theologically blinded by tribalism and loyalty for a denomination can walk away without at least a modicum of respect for having learned something new about the Bible.

@pitbull I say the same thing about the Bible. That's why I recommend Bible pastors like Anderson, or Jimenez etc etc who know the Bible inside and out and believe it truly is the word of God and don't make excuses for it or compromise.But look at the Bible study threads. They're as quiet as a sack of dead puppies floating down the river. Guys prefer outside sources to teach them about the Bible instead of actually reading the Bible. Guys like Witcoffs who have all the answers apparently. I guess its way more cool to just shout Logos Rising than put in the effort to actually understand the basis for what you believe in and put some actual thought and study into it.

That's enough internet for me today.

 

[MichaelWitcoff]

“Find one sermon where he says that, except the one you posted.”

Does not that speak for itself? Anyone is free to watch the video and hear exactly what “pastor” Anderson has to say. I won’t be listening, though. All this partying in South America has taken a real toll on my hearing.
