@ericmetaxas You probably haven’t read Galatians, Hebrews or Jeremiah 31:32: “not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the LORD.

Has Tucker read Psalm 105, written 1,000 years BC, that says God "remembers his covenant forever... for a thousand generations... which he confirmed... to ISRAEL as an everlasting covenant, saying 'TO YOU I WILL GIVE THE LAND OF CANAAN'."?? This is as basic as it gets, folks...

@ericmetaxas That’s what happens when you put reformed people in charge with an eschatology that matters

Will you thank God with me that we have leaders in our government who are NOT ASHAMED of their Christian faith? It is an astonishing and glorious moment in our history. Thank you, Jesus.

@PresbyInn @EvenWokerPresby RPCNA reference 🫡

What should President Trump do to defend and promote the true religion, while we still have the momentum?

@PresbyInn You give me RPCNA vibes

@sola_chad Have you changed recently from dispi to covenantal? I’ve seen a slight change in your posts compared to 1-2 months ago

Christ is King 👑

From my understanding the object of the worship is the problem with the current debate not that some group offers acceptable kind of worship. The “who God is” is the major split. You can offer the unacceptable kind of worship to the “right” God as well as offer the acceptable (from their POV) to the wrong God. Am I missing something?

I think it requires further clarification, because the term "worship" is being used in a univocal sense and thus causes confusion. The reason people are objecting to it is because there is a prima facie difference in the content of belief/profession of faith between Christian and Muslim, and the manner of worship differs sharply between Christian and Muslim, so using the term univocally creates confusion. If the term means "each group gives honor and praise to God", there should be no objection. If the term means "each group gives *acceptable* honor and praise to God", all the alarms should go off. Thus, it seems fitting that we should be speaking of worship in an analagous sense, since worship is not precisely the same if we separate the phrases "Christians worship God" and "Muslims worship God". As Presbyterians, and following the example of Calvin and Zwingli, we make much of distinctions between true and false worship, spiritual and carnal worship, acceptable worship and unacceptable worship. So I think Presbyterians are right to clarify that worship is the act of those who are in Christ by the Covenant of Grace (either substantially or by its administration) that God has prescribed and that he does not accept false worship. The Catholics are right to stress that "who God is" is known to both and thus they are without excuse and must offer Him the praise and honor due to Him, and thus each worship God as they must. However, one offers acceptable, spiritual worship. The other offers false, unacceptable worship.

I think you can make a much stronger case for "Muslims and Christians have the same concept of what God is" than "Muslims and Christians WORSHIP the same God" Cuz regarding the divine essence, you can argue that both religions have a similar concept of WHAT it is. But the 5th ecumenical council is clear that worship is directed at PERSONS not natures

@PresbyInn Keep the posts about the Presbyterian revolt coming!

"When Cornwallis was driven back to ultimate retreat and surrender at Yorktown, all of the colonels of the Colonial Army but one were Presbyterian elders. It is estimated that more than one half of all the soldiers and officers of the American Army during the Revolution were Presbyterian." Paul Carlson, Our Presbyterian Heritage, p. 16

@WesleyLHuff @Flagrant2Army @andrewschulz Well done Patrick!

When I was on the @Flagrant2Army @andrewschulz asked me to articulate the doctrine of the Trinity. Here’s how I attempted to do that in less than 5min.

@JustinPetersMin Theotokos is perfectly valid from Protestant POV

Do Catholics worship Mary? I report, you decide 👇

@DrFrankTurek Your strawman of reformed theology, can’t talk like that when you don’t understand basic principles of soteriology

What led your friend/loved one away from Christianity?

@pkayokay @eugenistoc @jetbrains Ewwww

@eugenistoc @CodeAndCarve @jetbrains Neovim

Big fan of @jetbrains but they need to do something about this.

@eugenistoc @jetbrains Switch to windows 😂

@jetbrains For context, I have a maxed out MacBook Pro

@eugenistoc @joshlofthus That’s G3 right?

@joshlofthus These conferences are really getting out of hand. Where is all the money going to? The venue? Speaker fees? Spending this much on a Christian conference is insane to me.

A lot of y’all acting like $300 is reasonable. The registration, plus room and board, plus a plane ticket, I’d be into this thing for over a month’s rent. 👀

@Cernovich Thank you 50’s!

Your 30's are your MIDDLE AGE. You are not young. You are not a kid. Your whole life is not ahead of you. Half of it is over and the second half moves even more rapidly, with each decade (relativity). Get it together because you are running out of time.

@megbasham @jonharris1989 Watch the first 10 min of Joe Rogan Dave and Douglas. Circular argumentative, appeal to authority for thy but not for me. Intellectually dishonest

@jonharris1989 Oh no I love him! Why?

@SpencerHakimian You gave your wife’s job away to that lady. Bad analogy-bad response

I have a 100% trade deficit with the lady that irons my suits. She offers something way more efficiently and at a much better price than I can do myself. And in exchange, I spend the time I would otherwise be wasting on pressing my suits offering financial services at 1,000x the hourly GDP rate as I paid her to afford me this time. Am I getting ripped off by her? Should I start steaming my own suits instead of offering financial services? Would that make me better off? Would I be richer because of it?

@Pastor_Gabe So that is to say, we should oppose it in public and in private? Or just because we can’t do it in private we shouldn’t do it in public?

@BenZeisloft As a U.S state representative why is she citing what Israel does regarding abortion, this is America. What an inconsistent piece of work she is

For example…

Just because certain false religions have allowances for abortion does not mean those views should be countenanced in our laws. The one true and living Triune God of the Bible has revealed his hatred for child sacrifice. No other opinion matters in the slightest.

@gavinortlund Not sure why you say healed when the description in revelation and other books is Kainos( new in quality or renewed)

Just finished reading Revelation. What a book. I remember one preacher summarizing its message with the simple words "God wins." That seems right to me. Even when we cannot understand the details, the effect of this book is shape our vision of the future, and that vision is filled with hope and purpose. A phrase that stood out to me is "the healing of the nations" (Revelation 22:2). Like so much else in those final chapters, it implies that heaven is not floating in the clouds. It is this world, resurrected and purged of evil and organized around the glory of God. Just as in 21:24 the "the kings of the earth will bring their glory into (the new Jerusalem)," which entails that culture will endure in heaven. I find it helps us anticipate heaven more when have this biblical vision: one day God is going to redeem this world. It won't be discarded, but healed.
