@theresamwebster @Old_SchoolEddie No. That's all made up stuff. You have direct access to the throne of grace through Christ, the great high priest. Read Hebrews.

@Old_SchoolEddie But doesn’t a priest represent Christ during this Sacrament?

1 Timothy 2:5 - “For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”

@wolverines788 @theresamwebster @Old_SchoolEddie And you find this where in the Bible?

@theresamwebster @Old_SchoolEddie exactly right, and Scripture backs it up perfectly. A priest doesn't forgive sins in his own name, he acts in persona Christi. This is precisely why the formula of absolution is: "I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

@ZTruand @AtheistTakes Yeah, but why let facts ruin a meme? It's the usual bias led rubbish you'd expect from atheists.

@RisingDisciples The Trinity is not explicitly taught in Scripture, but the evidence is overwhelming. Calvinism does not teach God has two wills. It has always been His will to save those who are elect in the Son.

If Sola Scriptura is so important, how did Calvinists come up with... God having TWO WILLS (decretive & preceptive); irresistible grace; regeneration before faith; limited atonement; & God decreeing whatsoever comes to pass? None of these are explicitly taught in Scripture.

@lukeappleton Both are correct. 'Theopneustos' is literally 'God breathed'.

It’s NOT a matter for us to divide over. You disagree with me, that’s fine. I know what I think. But I think the NIV waters down the Scripture. Look at 2 Tim 3:16. How inspiration is replaced by ‘God breathed’. I’ll stick with the King James thank you!

@PastorDScott @WWUTTcom Easy - Not a pastor

@WWUTTcom Now do Priscilla…

“But Deborah!” was not a pastor. “But Phoebe!” was not a pastor. “But Miriam!” was not a pastor. “But Esther!” was not a pastor. “But Junia!” was not a pastor. “But Mary!” was not a pastor. There are no women pastors in the Bible. Women cannot be pastors (1 Tim. 2:11-3:7).

@choconservative @rootcausesleuth The Bible says he chose us when we were dead in sin, incapable & unwilling to choose him. If we chose God, how can salvation be a gift? How can it be mercy? How can it it be grace? How can we choose that God will forgive us? Free will must be understood in the sovereignty of God

God hates sin. So, as a punishment for sin, he made all people with a sin nature that can only sin? How does that make any sense?

@aaron_p_edwards The Church of England is (and has been for some time) and ecclesiastical National Trust run by women. It just doesn't have the nice cafes.

"103 of the previous 105 archbishops of Canterbury—stretching back across fifteen centuries—would have found it impossible to imagine, because it ought to be (and is) a theological impossibility. And yet, here it is, right before our eyes, like a great ecclesiological magic trick." NEW article. thatgoodfight.substack.com/p/the-tragedy-…

@5Solas2 They also believe the earth is flat. They call themselves The World's Last Chance. I've had a look at their web site and it is clear that the people at @WLC_Team are blithering idiots.

What Bible are they reading? Jesus was with the Father in heaven before His incarnation.. John 1, Philippians 2, John 17:5.

@TheStaad This is why Adam, not Eve, is held accountable in Romans 5:12

People are quick to blame Eve for eating the fruit I was today years old when, after reading the story for the thousandth time, I realized that Adam was “with her” when she was speaking with the serpent (Gen 3:6) Adam allowed his wife to court evil right in front of him, and then he blamed her for the fallout Explains a lot about the way things are today

I knew @LBC's James O'brien had mystery hour, this is the first time I've heard @TomSwarbrick1's idiot hour. So kind of him to let the brainless loose on the airwaves.

@DavePiperDJ @NotThatRBaxter Including you, I'd say one.

If one thing will stop churches from streaming their services on the Internet, it will be the Protestia twitter account.

@Catholicizm1 Why? “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few." Matt 7:13-14 Jesus

This should cause Protestants to self reflect.

@farmingandJesus Nothing. Everyone sees it going backwards because it is. Click bait to make people feel special and part of the 2%

It’s backwards for me what’s wrong with me

@BishopJaxi @RLWatsonAuthor You're both arrogant and ignorant. That tends to be the case with cowards who hide behind anonymous profiles.

@RLWatsonAuthor This is you demonstrating your pride and ignorance, showing us all that you can't admit that the Bible doesn't have any chapter and verse to substantiate your claim. Thanks for the demonstration. This is the end. Goodbye.

Not a single passage of the Bible teaches that Scripture is the ONLY infallible rule of faith.

@BishopJaxi Really? Perhaps your reading it selectively with bias.

@WesleyLHuff It's a narcissist's perspective. They can't cope with life being involved with anyone other than themselves.

Having kids (I have 4) is on the list of best things I have ever done. I don’t know who Chappell Roan’s friends are, but it sounds like she needs new ones.

@Cool_Ustaz Most Sunday School kids could have answered him.

He was Christian until he asked how can Jesus cry to God if he is God? No one could answer me?

@Calvins_Hat @Truth_matters20 "A text out of context is a pretext for a proof-text" Yoda (aka RC Sproul)

@Truth_matters20 Verses plucked out of context to make a narrative that none of the authors (nor the Holy Spirit) ever intended.

Do you believe this is biblically accurate?

@MerylsaMess @Truth_matters20 Obviously your intensity of study was insufficient. Rev 1-3 is addressing 7 congregations. From Ch 4 God's people at large are referred as Saints, as Paul consistently does throughout his letters. 1 Thes 4 speaks of the Saints, living and dead joining Christ as he comes to Judge.

Yes. I used to be on the fence until I put some undeniable pieces together. I think there’s just too much evidence of pre-trib rapture when doing an intense study of scripture from a literal lens. The church is in Revelation 1-3 in Jesus letters (penned by John) to the 7 churches, but the church is absent from Earth during the Tribulation. “I will keep you from the hour of trial” Revelation 3:10 (to the faithful church in Philadelphia). “For the Lord himself will descend from heaven… and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air…”1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
