@PetGorilla @BillArnoldTeach I’m not sure when such a thing has happened. There are people who have tried corrupting the texts through mistranslations to accomplish worldly objectives like the Mormons have.

@BillArnoldTeach I don't remember the apostles burning people alive for wanting to read scripture in their native language.

The Catholic Church is the only Church that remained faithful to the Apostles. That is why it still stands.

@PresbyInn Loser.

Protestant friends: in your zeal to establish liturgical rhythms, don't overcorrect and defend Good Friday like it's a Holy Day of Obligation that Protestants need to celebrate. It's not even a Holy Day of Obligation for Catholics. Just fasting/abstinence.

@ShawnOnMission @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC This isn’t about my beliefs. Start from square one

@OrthodoxGabriel @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC I can explain it perfectly but I’m just wondering how far I need to go back. So let’s go to the very start. Do you believe there is a God?

You cannot have God for your Father who has not the Church for his Mother. Outside the Church there is no salvation. St. Cyprian of Carthage (251 AD)

@ShawnOnMission @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC You understand that this is a non sequitur and not related to what I have asked you at all

@OrthodoxGabriel @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC Do you believe there is a God?

Good I don’t stand with anti-Christ losers!

@ShawnOnMission @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC You said Mary isn’t the mother of God because Jesus never called her mother. However you also said God is the Holy Trinity though this term is never used in the Bible. Take a step further back you can’t explain the canon of scripture! How do you know the books you have are right

@ShawnOnMission @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC I don’t believe you understand the critique of your position. For the sake of argument let’s say I’m totally wrong and have no clue where to start. What’s I’m saying is your worldview is incoherent. Here are some instances:

@ShawnOnMission @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC Have you always been a retard? Likely. What I am arguing is that you have no grounding for any of your positions or views. If you have no grounding your worldview is inconsistent

@OrthodoxGabriel @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC Ok. So you don’t believe God is perfect. Sorry I thought I was debating with a Christian. But that’s ok. It just means we’re going to need to back up a whole bunch of steps. So let’s start from the beginning. Do you believe there is a God? Do you believe in the Holy Trinity?

@ShawnOnMission @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC My friend you haven’t established any way to make statements like this. Where do we go to identify if God is perfect or not? You haven’t provided any reason for one to believe this statement.

@OrthodoxGabriel @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC Is God perfect? Yes or no.

@ShawnOnMission @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC Where do I go to see that? Do you not see this circular argument you are bringing? Why would a perfect God need to rely on unperfect illogical reasoning? Or would you just have an unperfect knowledge?

@OrthodoxGabriel @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC You do not believe God is perfect?

@ShawnOnMission @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC You have done this test personally? Before you have access to Scripture how do you know any of these 5 statements. How do I know they are true?

@OrthodoxGabriel @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC Great question. Just put the books through this test: 1. God is perfect, therefore: 2. God doesn’t make mistakes & 3. God doesn’t contradict himself 4. God is same as yesterday, today, forever 5. God authored Bible with his 40+ scribes Only 66 books pass this test.

@ShawnOnMission @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC Jesus gave the world His Church, you are not a member of His Church. What I’m asking you is simple if I have you a book how do you determine if it is part of Scripture or not? I’m saying you have no way of doing this.

@OrthodoxGabriel @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC Ah so you claim Gods Bible is your Bible. You take all His glory away. I wish you the best trying to explain that one to Him on judgement day.

@ShawnOnMission @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC How can you verify the authenticity of any of those books, how do you know there are no others. Do you know the history of the Bible and the challenges with establishing the canon?

@Michael26433267 @OrthodoxGabriel @McBrideLawNYC Nope. God is the author with 40+ scribes. Jews are the keepers of the Torah & the Tanakh aka Old Testament, and the 66 books were guided by the Holy Spirit. The church no more gave us the Bible than the printers who printed it. Here’s my questions again x.com/shawnonmission…

@ShawnOnMission @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC I follow the Tradition of Christ’s Church as St. Paul instructs us to do (2 Thessalonians 2:15). However you have no claim to any of the Scriptures. You cannot defend your canon. So you do not have the Bible

@OrthodoxGabriel @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC No problem. I'd love to. Right after you get rid of all your manmade traditions that contradict the Word of God.

Made me chuckle!

@ShawnOnMission @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC I have not said that, you merely have changed the conversation multiple times without answering the question. Do you not understand the question?

@OrthodoxGabriel @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC Are you saying you are not a child of God and God is not your Father? It's ok if you aren't. There are many non-believers in the world. But I'd like to introduce you to Christ.

@ShawnOnMission @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC Was these Jesus merely a man?

@Michael26433267 @OrthodoxGabriel @McBrideLawNYC She bore Jesus in the flesh. So you are saying God the Father is not your Father? And you are not an adopted child of God? Can I share with you a story about a man named Jesus?

@Michael26433267 @ShawnOnMission @McBrideLawNYC I hope for all to join Christ’s Holy Orthodox Church. Just his behavior is super weird and strange. Makes me feel uncomfortable, do you feel that too?

@OrthodoxGabriel @ShawnOnMission @McBrideLawNYC I believe so. But I pray he will one day join Christs on holy Orthodox Church

@concernedAIguy @LonghornJoker How would you define an intellectual task?

@OrthodoxGabriel @LonghornJoker Just imagine a computer that can do any intellectual task better than humans!

For those who care: I defended my doctoral prospectus over Lent, so I am now a doctoral candidate. Moving on.
