Still amazed at how different the apologetics world is now as opposed to a decade or two ago: Back then, Protestant apologists were jumping at the opportunity to debate Orthodox or Catholics, and now they flee in terror at a mere offer LOL
@afellowheir@colehristofor@JohnPeters93911@67Justice@JayDyer It is accessible, because people have mouths, and with those mouths they speak words, and they tell things to others, those things get passed through generations, and those generations honor with precision the things they're told regarding the most important thing ever known.
Anyone rejecting the Nicene Creed in the era of those that composed it was considered to be a non-Christian. This means rejecting "one, holy, catholic and apostolic" or "one baptism for the remission of sins," in the sense of the Cappadocians that composed the creed (and thus not in the sense a Prot reinterpretation of the meaning) places you outside the bounds of Christianity.
Glad to see everyone is now grasping how low tier David Wood actually is and the only thing he knows about is anti-Islamianity. He doesn’t know anything about Scripture, logic / fallacies, Church History, patristics, etc. Their whole grift is built on Church-less apologetics
@JayDyer I already gave him 7 figures cause it be like that
Idk if you know this but I'm a self-made-nepo-baby, a quadroonillionaire to be exact
Don't let the undecipherable zeros in my bank account bamboozle you, I'm that still that gangsta that'll publicly beg for X shekels
@JayDyer An illustration to show the confusion and conflation in how a protestant views veneration. The toddler is the protestant obviously.
If they think veneration is worship, it's because their worship is merely veneration and in fact not worship.
@moody64556609@JayDyer What's equally as funny is you didn't even understand the statement to begin with and completely redefined it, and you still don't get it so you reclassified it as a question.
You're quite literally exemplifying the type of person I described.
@moody64556609@JayDyer Hilarious that your brain comprehends this as a question. Truly fascinating that you can't distinguish a question from a statement, but expect me to believe you can comprehend the Bible.
@moody64556609@JayDyer You're actually the only one who asked how someone evaluates information, it was me. Im the one you asked.
Since you said it was futile, i guess that's an admission to your futility in reasoning.
@CasperGaust@JayDyer Like I said, my point wasn’t about what I think about you personally. How you can imagine yourself an objective analyst of information while missing that point is peak irony though. But my point was about the futility of asking anyone how they evaluate information
@moody64556609@JayDyer The irony is you still coming to the conclusion I asked you how anyone evaluates information even after I clarified, when I simply made a statement of evaluation, and then continuing your pompous attitude while committing an incredulity fallacy based on your misinterpretation.
@moody64556609@JayDyer I haven't even presented an argument or position for you to make that claim, and I'm talking in generalities.
But no, I actually live that way, I don't presuppose the existence of God, I reverse engineer atheism. What you think about it is irrelevant, you don't know me
@CasperGaust@JayDyer No offense, but I think that’s exactly what you’re doing, despite everything you’ve said to the contrary. Point being, I think everyone THINKS they do this and thus would respond as though they did. We all imagine ourselves to be objective and logical
@moody64556609@JayDyer I didn't ask anyone anything.
But no, I've found that most people don't do any of those things, they start with subjective feelings and presuppositions, and then agree with confirmation bias. When conflicting data presents itself they fall into cognitive dissonance.
@moody64556609@JayDyer Context, observation, objectivity, logic, consistency, facts, data, empirical evidence, argumentation, all kinds of things, it can be all or some of them. I analyze the brakes off of everything before I make decisions.
