There is much evidence that young adults – and young men in particular – have been returning to church.
Most interesting of all is that these young people seem to be craving authenticity and tradition – or ‘full-fat faith’, as many are calling it.
In the Church of England, one of the primary modes of full-fat faith is the old Prayer Book, and although this trend is certainly being manifested in other traditions too, it is to the Prayer Book and the language of the English Renaissance that many of the young are returning.

@_tfTGS @ThoughtfulSaint Literal god in this case being a man imbued with a different physical nature than another man. There is nothing inherently special about it, its just a stage of human development. You only attach meaning and significance to it but like us your god is subject to his nature.

@KyleIgnatius @ThoughtfulSaint Why do you think that Jesus Christ is just like Ultraman?
What's up with your invention of a weak god?
Jesus Christ is a literal God who was for a period of time "still a guy" in his mortality.
English
I know but
… God is “no thing”
This is another way of saying god does not exist

@ThoughtfulSaint God is not a thing in Classical Theism🤦♂️

@GuyInco15542744 @Mormonger Who murdered the Apostles? Christians? Peter also had 20 years to appoint a successor for James. How much more time did he need?
English
@KyleIgnatius @Mormonger You all murdered them too quickly
English
Why would Jesus hate His own church?
Aaron (Disciple)@DiscipleFidei
Jesus loves Mormons, but he hates Mormonism.
English
@_tfTGS @ThoughtfulSaint Spurity being what? Just a material substance attached to the Mormon God that gives him power. He's still a guy at the end of the day. Like Ultraman.
English
No. Only God the Father, His son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are members of the Godhead, with whom we worship the Father as instructed by Jesus Christ to worship
A "guy" ignores the the combination of a spirit and body that Jesus Christ himself had anf he only does what the Father does
English
@LizzieMarbach Don't buy it. Handsome men get more attention. Beautiful women get more attention.
English
The way women and men rate attractiveness is not the same.
That is why a fairly “unattractive” man can still attract many women if he carries himself well and is smart, funny, or smooth.
But it is rarely the case in the reverse.

@MadRender @fireobserver32 @DeeWaynee94 Free food. Free medical in some countries. Some basic privledges like reading. That's heaven for some people and I kill a guy I don't like whats the harm to me? I get what I want even if convicted. Maybe being killed is worth the price. What does it matter?
English
@KyleIgnatius @fireobserver32 @DeeWaynee94 Uh, you absolutely do not get cared for in prison. Anyway, yeah, you definitely can run counter to society - there are quite a few that do. Are you insinuating that religion stops that from happening? Religion has less consequences than the secular law. All you gotta do is
English
Basic human decency predates Christianity by thousands of years.
Humans had empathy, reciprocity, taboos on murder and care for each other long before the church turned up and tried to claim copyright over morality.
The Wreckers datalogs@WreckersDatas
Is what an illiterate would say. What you today call "basic human decency" was acquired because of Christianity
English
@fireobserver32 @DeeWaynee94 Good being what exactly? What you another animal says it is? Good benefits you somehow therefore you defend it but if I can surpass said limits you have why do I need to be good? Especially if I can get away with it? I don't.
Good doesn't exist. What exists are animals.
English
@KyleIgnatius @DeeWaynee94 Well than you are nihilistic in the negative sense. Nietzsche wrote a whole philosophy on what is good without god.
English
@lightenlam @DeeWaynee94 Weak being what here? If I take advantage of others weaknesses am I not stronger than them by nature? What do you mean by weakness? Is there moral value attached to this that means anything? Why care about the weak? What makes them valuable if it doesnt benefit me?
English
@KyleIgnatius @DeeWaynee94 "But I don't care about others."
so you'll be evil if not for Christianity? then you're just a weak person
English
@MadRender @fireobserver32 @DeeWaynee94 Or they give me life in prison where im.fed and care for. Or I break the 'rules' just so much as to get ahead but not get in trouble. If I can get away with an 'evil' action and it makes my life materially more comfortable what do I care? Who cares if other animals are suffering
English
@MadRender @fireobserver32 @DeeWaynee94 Eh if I can get around the arbitrary rules of the animal called man for my own benefit why shouldn't I?
English
@KyleIgnatius @fireobserver32 @DeeWaynee94 Well, if you want a materialist's idea in it hammurabi's code spells it out plainly. You go for an eye, expect your own eye in return but setting that aside all humans have flourished because of communal endeavor and we evolved to view that as a desirable trait. The mean wolves
English
@fireobserver32 @DeeWaynee94 What is good? What is decent? If I get ahead without those things what does it matter?
English
@KyleIgnatius @DeeWaynee94 Because it is decent and good . One need not god to guide virtue and care for human life.
I mean if you want to reduce people to retarded straw man arguments because you are insecure you should reexamine your faith.
English
@DeadBug15 That is unironically correct. So Mormons you were never part of the club.
English
I’ve been reliably informed that the only definition of a Christian is someone who believes in the Trinity as outlined in the Nicean Creed…
The Gay Republican 🇺🇲✝️@GayRepublicSwag
The ultimate irony is that Ben Shapiro is a better Christian than Tucker Carlson… and he’s not even a Christian!
English
@Law_Of_Chastity In the LDS view things Jesus abandoned the church to it's fate. This despite the presence of faithful Christians whom LDS quote as evidence of their doctrine (Athanasius). It is not demonstrable that the LDS God loves his faithful or is faithful to them.
English
Jesus loves Credalists. But he hates the creeds.
Aaron (Disciple)@DiscipleFidei
Jesus loves Mormons, but he hates Mormonism.
English
@TrevorSheatz Let's say the loved one of a victim of murder meets the repentant murderer of their son. Are you saying the murderer has a right to say to the victim's family that they must not bring up the past or hold it against them in anyway?
English
Your past doesn't define you when you're in Christ.
You're a new creation and the old things have passed away (2 Cor. 5:17). Hallelujah!

@marklevinshow Arm them to do what? Be killed by an established regime where all the military is in thr IRGC? Are you just a fucking moron?
English
ARM THE IRANIAN PEOPLE IMMEDIATELY!
I've been calling for this for weeks on radio. One thing we can do, which Reagan did in Afghanistan, Angola, and Nicaragua, is ARM THE PEOPLE in Iran so they are no longer butchered by these monsters without the ability to fight back! They will rise up as a real fighting force, but they need weapons! And it must be done IMMEDIATELY, especially if we are talking about ending our military operation in a few weeks!

It is logically possible for the prophets to speak false information
These men are reliable, not infallible
It is up to us to seek confirmation from God
All Roads Digital@AllRoadsDigital
Genuine question for Latter-day Saint friends: With General Conference coming up I hear many people say "come and listen to living prophets" But, how wrong or how erroneous can their speeches be? What are the safeguards and limits of prophetic reliability?
English
@marklevinshow When the USA killed those Iranian school girls how much did you rub your hands together?
