nothing in my hands i bring simply to the cross i cling

logging off for a while <3 God bless you all

@Just_Joeking__ @gavinortlund ouuu i love his videos!!! he and one of my friends are keeping me protestant currently lol

@_mray__ @gavinortlund does good work through truth unites

some send me good resources on protestant interpretations of church fathers plsssss cause i’m struggling for a reason to stay protestant low key 🗿

@elimcgowan it’s been a minute since i’ve read that but if u wanna talk more about it later i will refresh my memory

@_mray__ Second the person recommending modern academic treatments. But also the Reformers were deeply motivated by the Fathers. What did you think of Calvin’s letter on the Catholicity of the Protestant faith to the king of France?

@SpaceCowboy_SC who are some good protestant academics

Jordan cooperates has some decent videos on the fathers, but really the best resources in Protestantism are academics, and dogmatic books. There’s a few YouTube channels I can’t find atm that I can send you when I come across them again, but I’d mostly just recommend reading Protestant academics and theologians, not to mention the church fathers themselves (because the church fathers aren’t really 100% of any modern sect and anyone who says so is either lying or ignorant) really, the best thing you can do is read the church fathers themselves and then compare to the theology of every sect. Most sects will quote the their interpretations of the church fathers in their key writings, for Lutherans that’s the BoC for Calvinists that would be the Institutes and other dogmatic works, etc.

No they’re not.

Become Catholic.

1.50 for an extra shot of espresso is a heinous crime

@Christi13125124 @LilCyclone eastern catholics are in full communion with rome tho so they genuinely have to accept all of them somehow

@_mray__ @LilCyclone I mean depends on the papist you ask too. Eastern papists will say there’s less

i kinds get why prots don’t consider fourth century church fathers as legitimate “fathers,” but i also don’t because they’re still A LOTTT closer to the time of the apostles than we are

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner

@Christi13125124 @LilCyclone so how can you say there are 21 ecumenical councils and not agree with all 21

@_mray__ @LilCyclone I mean your friend came in memeing so I didn’t think this was an actual dialogue in good faith anyway.

@Christi13125124 @LilCyclone ok but now we can’t even define what a council is

@LilCyclone @_mray__ It doesn’t, Magisterial Protestants affirm the councils and creeds

@LilCyclone @Christi13125124 well he’s lutheran i think so i’m so confused lol

The greatest miracle I’ve seen with my own eyes is watching sinners repent and come to Christ.

@Christi13125124 @LilCyclone wait which ones ? (genuine questions)

@LilCyclone @_mray__ We affirm the councils what are you on about?

dude sitting in the floor is infinitely better than a chair change my mind

Sometimes I think about how God used lowly fisherman and a tax collector to conquer the world.

@Templarpilled domine iesu christe, fili dei, miserere mei peccatoris

@Christi13125124 what can we trust the church fathers on ?

@_mray__ Yea I mean they probably don’t know their own confessions then nor their own dogmatitians. I find it best to look at the source material of a tradition than the lay folk as I think I mentioned before lay folk can really misuse their own stuff.

@Alicia_Bittle_ woah i haven’t claimed to do such a thing. i told you i think i believe it. i have lots of doubts because i come from the reformed tradition and now i’m confused about doctrine, dogma, and what i believe

@_mray__ Ok, so how have you “disproven” transubstantiation?

I believe in transubstantiation and that the actual body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ is present in the Eucharist, so I became Catholic.
