To help my kids memorize the books of the Bible, I made a periodic table–style chart.

@16forbs @JoshuaBarzon Well good thing that the Catholic Church has never taught Baal worship. I don’t recall growing up Protestant and my non-denominational church ever teaching it, so I hope that’s the case for yours.

@Aaronaeus @JoshuaBarzon Hopefully, both Protestants and Catholics do some self-reflection and decide to abandon Baal for Jesus Christ 🙏

Scripture canons compared

@HabitualLinest @TradReform How are any of these commentators authoritative?

@TradReform @Aaronaeus Why are you showing me these opinions?

Ryan got cooked.

@16forbs @JoshuaBarzon Then it’s a moot point.

@Aaronaeus @JoshuaBarzon I would NEVER make a retarded claim like that.

@rockreborn22 @Lex_Ludendi

@Aaronaeus @Lex_Ludendi Truly feel bad for how lost and confused you carholics are

No, we don’t like Sola Scriptura because it’s literally against the Bible and built on man-made interpretations.

“Faith alone” isn’t in Romans 3:28. You must be reading the Martin Luther edition where he decided to help Paul out by inserting the word “alone” even though the Greek never says it. If you want the exact phrase “faith alone,” you only find it in James 2:24: “not justified by faith alone.” That is, of course, assuming you make it past Romans. A lot of Calvinists seem to read Romans on an endless loop hoping the word “alone” eventually materializes into the text through sheer repetition. And honestly, I have no idea how you get “true faith produces good works” from James 2:14 when James literally says: “What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?” (ESV) James does not say, “Works are nice evidence later on.” He questions whether that faith alone saves at all. Which Paul answers in 1 Corinthians 13:2, "...if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing."

@GPriest7 @Aaronaeus @JimmyAkin3000 Me: Hey, Paul: How is one justified before God? Paul: By faith alone (Rom 3:28), duh. In fact, God himself tells us that the only way that one can hope live is by faith (Rom 1:17). Me: But what about works? Paul: James? James: True faith produces good works (Js 2:14ff).

@16forbs @JoshuaBarzon You’re right Protestants are totally bleach white clean during the Protestant Revolution… 🙄

@Aaronaeus @JoshuaBarzon 🤔

@Aaronaeus Hey everyone, here is the complete interaction. Not a chopped up video to make look Ryan like he got "cooked". youtu.be/xZlaO1d6-PA?si…

@16forbs @JoshuaBarzon Torture with kindness 😉

@Aaronaeus @JoshuaBarzon And they'll torture anyone who says otherwise!

Catholic apologist @JimmyAkin3000 addresses this kind of argument in his book The Drama of Salvation by pointing out that many salvation debates collapse because people start inventing distinctions Scripture itself never makes. The claim that “saving faith is always the verb form while the noun form is non-saving faith” simply does not hold up biblically or linguistically. Greek constantly moves between pistis (faith, noun) and pisteuō (believe, verb) to describe the same saving reality. Paul says: —“Since we are justified by faith (pistis)” in Romans 5:1 —“By grace you have been saved through faith (pistis)” in Ephesians 2:8 Those are noun forms describing salvation. Akin would likely say the issue in Matthew 17 and 1 Corinthians 13 is context, not grammar. Those passages are discussing miracle-working faith, not the fullness of saving faith formed through love and obedience. Catholics already agree that not every kind of faith saves. James says even demons “believe” (James 2:19). The distinction is not noun versus verb. The distinction is between dead faith, a faith without love and without the works that flow from love powered by grace, and living faith, a faithful, obedient faith working through love (Galatians 5:6; Romans 1:17). I highly recommend reading the book.

@Aaronaeus Ryan is absolutely correct: the faith of Matthew 17 and 1 Corinthians 13 is NOT saving faith. How do we know this? Because it’s the noun form. Saving faith is always the verb form.

@Aaronaeus Yet both miss the point….

@HawaiiCrusader @bigger_bread You’re forgiven

@bigger_bread @Aaronaeus I’m retarded I completely did not notice bro was Orthodox lmao.

@Aaronaeus Gosh I LOOOOVE when this guy gets proven wrong

@Brian_O_Mars Must be an orthodox thing? 🤷‍♂️

@DEsceptikon I didn’t cut the video @ApostolicOrtho did.

@Aaronaeus Nice job on butchering the video out to make it look like he was saying what you wanted us to be heard.

@ConfessorMaximo Give credit where credit is due, that OrthoBro was cooking

@AyeEye_ @Nick126792 Good I was hoping someone would know.

@Nick126792 @Aaronaeus Agen. Goes by Apostolic Orthodoxy on YouTube. He is an oriental orthodox Coptic Christian.
