so you admit that your religion is Manichaeism and not Christianity... Good to know
Let us look at his magnum opus, de genesi ad litteram (in reality, the illiterate interpretation, which exemplifies the Papist mindset of soiling everything that is precious and dear to Sweet Jesus).
Basically, Miss Augustina denied that God would be able to express Himself in a clear manner. He started the d egenerative process that led the Catholic Cult to the acceptance of repulsive and Demonic issues as follows: If our Bible-based actions can reach Augustine in the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:15) where he resides, the better! Had Augustine lived during our times (at the End of all times as Jesus will return soon), he probably have not understood that the following verses are accurate and detailed descriptions of dinosaurs. Real things and not pink ponies. Imaginary foolishness began with him and destroyed a Holy Matrimony. It is, indeed, sad.

Augustine of Hippo , also known as
Saint Augustine,
Saint Austin,
Blessed Augustine, and the
Doctor of Grace, was an early
Christian theologian and
philosopher whose writings influenced the development of
Western Christianity and
Western philosophy. He was the
bishop of
Hippo Regius (modern-day
Annaba,
Algeria), located in
Numidia (
Roman province of Africa). He is viewed as one of the most important
Church Fathers in Western Christianity for his writings in the
Patristic Era. Among his most important works are
The City of God and
Confessions.
According to his contemporary,
Jerome, Augustine "established anew the ancient Faith." In his early years, he was heavily influenced by
Manichaeism and afterward by the
neo-Platonism of
Plotinus. After his baptism and conversion to Christianity in 386, Augustine developed his own approach to philosophy and theology, accommodating a variety of methods and perspectives. Believing that the
grace of Christ was indispensable to human freedom, he helped formulate the doctrine of
original sin and made seminal contributions to the development of
just war theory.
When the
Western Roman Empire began to disintegrate, Augustine developed the concept of the Church as a spiritual
City of God, distinct from the material Earthly City. His thoughts profoundly influenced the medieval worldview. The segment of the Church that adhered to the concept of the
Trinity as defined by the
Council of Nicaea and the
Council of Constantinople closely identified with Augustine's
City of God.
In the Catholic Church and the
Anglican Communion, he is a saint, a preeminent
Doctor of the Church, and the patron of the
Augustinians. His memorial is celebrated on 28 August, the day of his death. He is the
patron saint of brewers, printers, theologians, the alleviation of sore eyes, and a number of cities and dioceses. Many
Protestants, especially
Calvinists, consider him to be one of the theological fathers of the
Protestant Reformation due to his teachings on
salvation and
divine grace.
Also I'd rather enjoy my
MULTI-COLOR PONIES than be you getting smite and Ignited by God for disrespecting the man who made Christianity a thing.
enjoy the devil!
