Off-Topic / Are Polish Christians here? [141]

Are Polish Christians who share all 10 testaments and don't forget that human life starts since conception?
Please appear here in this topic.

Hey, i am new here but I can say I am one of them.

There are very few Christians who adhere to what the Bible says.
If you were to follow everything, there would be no priests and church hierarchy.

Apologetics is not one of my most loved things, but idea that Church hierarchy is non biblical was in no one mind until the Reformation, so I guess it is a quite new idea. However, today most of Protestant Churches have also their hierarchy with bishops and so on. It can be discussed if they have the apostolic succession* but they claim it.

Every religion needs some sort of organisation.
Churches at their best, do much for communities.

I can agree.

(In opinion of historical Christianity- like Orthodoxy, Catholicism and Oriental Orthodoxy- they do not.)

The NT is written on Greek, so one word has one meaning, not like english, the word Love can be one of 5

It is not true. List of polish or English translation of many of Greek words can fill few pages in dictionary. Get the first Greek-Polish dictionary you find as we have some and check. New Testament word for love is also agape and it is not the same as philo. And what about aeon? Is it period of time, eternity or just hundred years? Other example: in NT you will find few times occuring word "ethnoi". Are their "nations" or rather the "heathens" and what about Jesus congreging "ethnoi" for the final judgement?

I'm sorry and don't want to set Sunday school here but I was extremely curious of your sayings about word meaning in Greek.

Agapao is "to love" or literally "i love", love as a substantive is agape. But only New Testament and later Christian texts deal with this. Classical literature has eros and few other but agape or agapao is strictly biblical. Does anybody know if it appears in LXX?

Ye, we have even persons more serious than hordes of "baptizati catholici" (baptized Catholics) ;) joke, joke!

There are 39 brethren assemblies in Poland and around 28 groups meeting in homes. For cultural comparison, there are 871 assemblies in Romania - which was never a Catholic cntrolled country.

You got right. Romania, or former Vallachia and Moldavia was during all it's history- as you would like to say- Orthodox controlled country. Does it make a difference for you?

Ok.

I'd like to ask if you see any differences in spreading this version of Protestantism in Catholic and Orthodox ruled countries? I guess you consider both Churches being on a similar level of validity. If I am right, what caused fastest spread of this denomination in Romania in your opinion?
