Test Everything

Hell is rejoicing today. Charlie ran his race well.

It’s all about Jesus.

@Bronymon_ Well said

Transgenderism is a hotly debated subject, carrying with it much emotion and cultural importance. As is common with topics of major interest, there are misplaced concerns, misunderstandings, and bad actors on both sides of the issue. I am not the first to write on this matter, but I hope to provide beneficial contribution to the discussion on transgenderism, trans people, and the Christian response. 1/12

@jchasedavis Romans 13 describes what government is for, it doesnt anoint a candidate. That would mean Biden and Obama were also servants and carrying out Gods wrath. Ridiculous

Donald Trump is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer.

Theres many ways to approach this, too many for a comments section but, there is no ‘should’ believe, its ‘choose’ to believe. Your free will allows you to do whatever you like. What people should ask themselves is this ‘Do I not believe because I simply don’t have enough evidence? Or do I not believe because I don’t want it to be true?’ Determining which of those fits you, sends you down two very different paths. I think you’re implying its the first one, and that just comes down to genuine searching. The other is not understanding who Jesus was/is

@TestEverything0 @NotEvolution1 Why should anyone believe in anything that they consider to be improbable? By definition, they cannot do that, because statistically it would most likely be wrong to do so. It would mean to believe something you think is untrue.

God is the logical conclusion. Psa 14:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

@CrownVic2023 How dare you speak the truth sister in Christ

Christian Nationalism is not Biblical. Christian Nationalism is not reflective of the Apostolic teachings. Christian Nationalism is not in line with the will of God. Christian Nationalism does not reflect Christ or His teachings. Christian Nationalism only hurts the great commission and fuels the already raging distain for Christianity. Christian Nationalism is dangerous, and completely antithetical to the Gospel of the Kingdom. Christian Nationalism is not Christianity.

@MindVsMyth @NotEvolution1 “God is the logical conclusion” completely destroys this argument. The post never claimed because scientists were Christian, Christianity is true. Very ironic your first line would be about fallacies and then use a straw man fallacy immediately afterward

This commits the genetic fallacy and appeal to authority fallacy. Just because many early scientists were Christian doesn’t prove Christianity is true or that science depends on belief in God. They were products of a Christian-dominated society—belief was cultural, not evidential. Modern science functions on methodological naturalism, not supernatural faith. A claim’s truth isn’t based on who believed it, but on evidence and reasoning.

@xTheGoodNews Even if you stumble a few times

A Christian is someone that FOLLOWS Christ….. Obviously there’s more to it but that’s essentially what you are is you claim to be a Christian.

It’s amazing God would make a world in which men have so many deep flaws and women virtually none. At least, that was the lesson I got last time I talked to an evangelical feminist.

@JackieFrancesca @annamlulis I never claimed marriage prevents all abortion, i said that treating sex as sacred, within committed love, drastically reduces abortions driven by convenience. Your stat doesn’t contradict that it just misses the point. Good Luck

@TestEverything0 @annamlulis Married women abort.

If you’re a Christian, You cannot support abortion.

@JackieFrancesca @annamlulis That response would be called a non sequitur rebuttal. It does not logically flow from my original point. If i said “fast food leads to poor health when consumed regularly” You said “plenty of skinny people eat fast food too” False counterpoint

We don’t know when Jesus is returning. 10 years? 5 years? 100? Next month? Tomorrow? “Soon” to God is not “Soon” to us. We know the signs. We see the storms brewing. Stay on the ready, but DO NOT let it consume your life. If it does, you need to step down and study the ENTIRE word. Not just End Times Prophecy. Conviction is key. Do not ignore the Holy Spirit.

@GodlyAction Truth stands alone, it doesnt ask for our permission or approval, it simply is

If you think all religions lead to heaven, you don’t know the Jesus of the Bible.

@IndianaBrunner Ah yes, popularity, the gold standard of truth

Bro’s never heard of the wide road 😬

@thegothcatholic Based

@MatthysRaalten @HomemakingLady An interesting standard for biblical insight. Truly a towering take

@HomemakingLady The word "emotions" is not in the Holy Bible.

The Bible explains our emotions better than secular psychiatrists do. —Todd Friel

@iamrjknight Raising the bar for what is clear, concise, and respectful. Exceptionally well done. Iron sharpening iron

SOLA SCRIPTURA - WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT IS NOT The phrase has been twisted, mocked, and misrepresented, especially by the Roman Church. But Sola Scriptura is not a modern invention. It is the cry of the early church and the model of the apostles themselves. Sola Scriptura means that SCRIPTURE ALONE IS THE FINAL, INFALLIBLE AUTHORITY IN ALL MATTERS OF FAITH AND DOCTRINE. IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT SCRIPTURE IS THE ONLY AUTHORITY. We thank God for faithful teachers, councils, creeds, and confessions. But it means that every teacher, council, creed, or confession must be tested by Scripture. The Word of God is not subject to the Church. The Church is born of the Word (James 1:18). The Church does not rule over Scripture. The Word rules over the Church. Paul did not point Timothy to the “living magisterium.” He pointed him to the Scriptures: “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” - 2 Timothy 3:16–17 Paul doesn’t say Scripture is partially useful or that something else is needed. He says it is enough to make a man of God complete. Jesus never appealed to tradition when confronting error. He said, “Have you not read...?” again and again (Matthew 12:3, 21:16, 22:31). He rebuked the Pharisees because they made void the Word of God for the sake of their tradition (Mark 7:13). When Satan came, Jesus didn’t quote a rabbi or a tradition. He said, “It is written.” When the apostles preached, they showed from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ (Acts 17:2-3). When the Bereans heard Paul, they didn’t bow to his authority. They searched the Scriptures daily to test his words (Acts 17:11). THAT IS THE SPIRIT OF SOLA SCRIPTURA. It was the standard of the early church long before Rome turned it into relics and robes. Origen, writing around AD 248, said: “The holy and inspired Scriptures are sufficient for the preaching of the truth.” (Contra Celsum, Book 7, Chapter 1) Basil of Caesarea, in the fourth century, said: “We are not content simply because this is the tradition of the Fathers. What is important is that the Fathers followed the meaning of the Scripture.” (On the Holy Spirit, Chapter 7) Even Athanasius, the champion of Nicene orthodoxy, said in AD 367: “The holy and inspired Scriptures are fully sufficient for the proclamation of the truth.” (Festal Letter 39) Rome claims the Church gave us the Bible. But that is false history. The Church did not create the Bible. The Church received it. The books of Scripture were already recognized by the people of God because they bore the marks of divine authorship. By the end of the second century, almost all the New Testament was already quoted, circulated, and received across churches, without Rome’s permission. The Muratorian Fragment, dated around AD 170, lists most of the New Testament books. Irenaeus (AD 180) quoted from all four Gospels. Tertullian (AD 200) quoted from almost every New Testament book. Long before the Council of Carthage in AD 397, the Word of God was already known and believed. Rome did not give us the Scriptures. God did. “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.” -Matthew 24:35 The question is not whether we have tradition. Everyone does. The question is, what is final? What is infallible? Is it Scripture or something else? Sola Scriptura simply answers: God has spoken, and His Word stands above all. That’s biblical Christianity. And the true Church has always stood under the Word… never above it.
