@WesleyLHuff @Seth_Troutt Pelagius actually didn’t hold to most of the teachings attributed to him. He sadly become the boogyman of church history. Dr. Ali Bonner’s book “The Myth of Pelagianism” quite decisively demonstrates this as such. It’s a good read.

@Seth_Troutt Not to mention that Pelagius would have had no problem confessing both. Orthodoxy is no less than encompassed in the creeds but also much more.

This is insufferable. Why did the Nicene creed need to be written if the church already had the Apostles Creed? Which Nicene Creed? 325 or 381? Why? What about the Council of Ephesus? What about the Athanasian Creed? The Chalcedonian Creed? When new heresies are invented, new lines that clarify orthodoxy must be drawn in response.

@MikeWingerii You don’t really care for music, do you?

There was no secret chord that David played that pleased the Lord.

@DrFrankTurek Pretty hellish from what I’ve read.

What will Hell be like according to the Bible?

@Philip_Goff I would direct you to the church fathers on this topic, specifically in @ErickYbarra3 ‘s forthcoming book "He Took Our Punishment: Discovering Penal Substitution in the Church Fathers" - March 29.

@DrFrankTurek To live it wisely and well — and all that is entailed therein.

What is the meaning of life?

@sola_chad In other words, once a man is born, it is too late to either save or damn him.

God predestined His elect to salvation before the foundation of the world.

@everymovieplug The OA

Name a cancelled TV show that deserves another season.

@farmingandJesus Acts 17:28 …for “‘In him we live and move and have our being’; as even some of your own poets have said, “‘For we are indeed his offspring.’ I suppose if a father has a duty of care and love for his offspring, then yes.

Does God love everyone? Use scripture

@JoshuaBarzon Number 2 because it most closely resembles a Boba Fett helmet.

Opinions needed! 👋 Which logo design do you like best? I am designing this for a church that has a very iconic bridge and river in their city that I am incorporating into the logo design. Which shape of the design and font do you like best? Feel free to mix and match!

@worldviewdesign I suppose it’s the same way you know that you are in pain: you have direct experience of it. Without it, there’s no experience of any kind. Sam Harris stated, “Consciousness is the one thing in the universe that can’t be an illusion.” So how do we know? By immediate experience.

How do you know you are (ever) conscious? Looking for non-questioning begging reasons.

@DrFrankTurek Minecraft.

What's the #1 thing that children need and care about more than anything else?

Your denomination (specific organization, not just general tradition) is the second most important thing about you other than loyalty to Christ overall And this used to be common sense in Christianity.

@TheCinesthetic His Dark Materials

What’s an HBO series (that’s not The Wire, The Sopranos or GOT) that y’all would recommend?

If you claim to support human rights yet can’t bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you’ve revealed yourself. You don’t give a damn about people being oppressed and brutalised so long as it’s being done by the enemies of your enemies.

@Holden_Culotta @grok what episode of jre is that?

“My employers will f**king fry me if I speak out about this.” “I am capable of building and designing an aircraft that can go 210 times the speed of light.” Jay Anderson just told Joe Rogan that a Lockheed Skunk Works engineer admitted to reverse-engineering UFOs. Three large flying saucers called “alien reproduction vehicles” were allegedly revealed at a private air show in 1988. But the terrifying part is this: They were classified as “instantaneous nuclear payload delivery systems.” Anderson: “Mark McCandlish, military illustrator, had a friend called Brad Sorensen.” “Brad Sorensen was a government guy, aerospace engineer, Lockheed Martin—quite an extensive portfolio.” “Brad Sorensen goes to his buddy one day, Mark McCandlish, and he says, I was shown something and I want you to … create the illustration.” “Brad Sorensen says that … he was invited to a private air show at Lockheed Martin by … a good friend of his in the military.” “They bring him into a hanger in Lockheed Martin where three large saucers of varying size were hovering a few feet off of the ground.” “They were described as ‘instantaneous nuclear payload delivery systems.’” “Brad Sorensen has never gone public.” “But I was in the room when he was phoned [a couple of years ago], and I’ve heard him say things that have never been on the record before.” “My friend introduces himself to him and … asked him about Mark McCandlish and this alien reproduction vehicle.” “And Brad Sorensen went off on quite a diatribe actually … and said: I gave this man the keys to the kingdom and he went out and told the whole f**king world, and I will never do that because my employers will fry me.” “He said: they will f**king fry me if I speak out about this, but I am capable of building and designing an aircraft that can go 210 times the speed of light.” @TheProjectUnity @joerogan

@johnmilbank3 @si_ad @TinaBeattie John, have you written about this idea more fully elsewhere? I'd enjoy reading your reflections on this theme.

@si_ad @TinaBeattie We cannot fully comprehend how the eternal creation is at once the innocent beginning and the restored end — with even the wounds transfigured.

Our lives are only fragments and occasional glimpses of the lives we were supposed to lead.

@redeemed_zoomer @grok @grok do the same for me.

Hey, @grok who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn't need to be a mutual, don't tag them, just say who it was

@grok who is the most famous person to visit my profile

@SpeedWatkins Yes, there is.

There is no god.

@gavinortlund I’d play

A while back I shared I was building a customizable card game based on the Narnia books. Unfortunately, copyright challenges proved insurmountable. The good news is I have redirected my energies toward building Church History: The Board Game. It involves spreading churches throughout the world by using theologians, apologists, missionaries, translators, etc. It proceeds century-by-century, overcoming crises like persecution, heresy, schism, plagues, invasions, etc. I'm just exploring at this point. I will share more as it develops. Would you play a game like this?
