Ed In America

@ShaneSchaetzel Because the OT was clearly written by ancient Jews in Greek.

Catholics use the longer Greek Canon for the Old Testament, overwhelmingly preferred by the Apostles. Protestants use the shorter Hebrew Canon for the Old Testament, overwhelmingly preferred by the Pharisees. And that’s why Catholic Bibles have more books.

@YourCalvinist "Temporary" faith? That's not a thing. Read what Christ said in John 3:16-21, John 6:28-29, and what the Holy Spirit said through Paul in Romans 10:9-10. Trying to denigrate it with a derogatory term is wicked. It's easy for us because it was so very difficult for Christ.

Easy Believism: Can This Faith Save?

@kariwarburton No. That is only for maidens and bachelors. Married people are referred to by their last names.

I wish we would start calling each other Brother/Sister *insert first name* rather than our last names

@reformedhg Paul Washer, guilty of strawmanning "the modern church."

The greatest heresy in the modern church is that man is basically good. Paul Washer

@Elohim_Gadol Good thing you do not get to choose who Christians are.

Here's the deal, and it is Biblical. If you cannot get Israel right—if you believe the inhabitants of Israel today are not the real Jews—then I am not your Christian brother. Your form of Christianity is worthless to me because it is not Scripture-based. You are calling my Father God a liar, accusing Him of breaking His own words and lacking the power to return the right people to the land.

@TheStaad Which part?

Evangelical Protestantism is heresy

@AVGirl4Life Yes, I did. The party of Lincoln.

I had no idea the first black members of congress were republicans. Be Honest Did you??

@OperHealAmerica Yes. You missed the part where you explained which church. Otherwise this is just another straw man to crap on Christianity.

Jesus didn't leave the Church. We left Him. Gay marriage Homosexual ordinations “Silence” in the face of evil Prosperity theology Salvation w/out repentance Every "mission" but the Great Commission "Cheap grace" Tolerance above holiness "Fake Unity" above theology Political correctness Women pastors Weakness Wokeness Compromise Lukewarmness Cowardice Greed What did I miss?🙏🕊️🇺🇸

@GigaBasedDad Logic

Would you add anything else?

@JordanBraginton That won't happen.

So, if you aren't a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (mormon)- say you die and God tells you, hey, this church is actually true. One of your descendents performs a baptism on your behalf, do you accept it?

@rabbriansamuel The most cruel thing you can do is give Jews hope of salvation outside of Messiah.

@rabbriansamuel "I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matt 8:11-12

You have to allow the Bible to be interpreted literally. Yes, all things are fulfilled in Christ. But we have to honor the myriad of prophecies given to ethnic Israel and allow them to be understood and fulfilled literally. Even Paul said, "All Israel will be saved, as it is written" Acknowledging that God will uniquely save Israel and the Jewish people at the end is the best, most accurate interpretation of the totality of scripture. And it does not negate spiritual truths that in Christ, there is no Jew nor Gentile. And this promise to Israel has nothing to do with your view of their actions. You have a right to consider them as genocidal meanies. But God's end times promise still stands.

@realMaalouf I'd call it su*cide. Looks like he WANTS to get run over. When I was a kid, my parents taught me not to play in the street.

He left his house, the mosque, and even the sidewalk, choosing to pray in the middle of the street instead! What would you call this?

@JoshuaBarzon It's 66.

How many books are in the Bible?

The humble sees sin in others and says not, "Look at that creep!" but instead says, "There, o God, but for Thy grace, I go."

@MikeWingerii I am not certain Locke can engage in conversation. I have seen his preaching style before. I think "rant" or "screed" is a better characterization than "teaching" or "exegesis."

It's been two days since I responded to Greg Locke's challenge to sit down and talk on a live stream. He hasn't responded to me and, as soon as I said yes, he stopped responding to Ruslan even in their ongoing text message convo.

It is the height of cruelty to allow a Jew, or anyone else for that matter, to believe they have hope of salvation outside of Jesus of Nazareth.

@5Solas2 God IS faithful and will not let you be tempted beyond what you are able to bear. I Cor 10:13 Perhaps this is where we get the idea? It seems to cover the idea that God will not give you more than you can handle.

@ZeekArkham Are you not the head of your family? Start going where you all should go.

For a change of pace… The church my family has been attending for the past couple years isn’t something I’m happy with. The pastor has fully embraced “prosperity preaching” and spends entire sermons clubbing you over the head to tithe. I seriously feel like he’s a bad month away from his own “lock the doors” moment. His wife, the “co-pastor,” literally turned her back on me when I was going through a rough period, both personally and professionally. Honestly, growing up, I never had a good church relationship. There was a LOT of bad disguised as good. The older I get, the more I realize how toxic that environment was. For my little girl, I want her to grow up in faith. I want her to be a true believer in the Word. I want her to enjoy Christ and a relationship with Him. I only hope we can find a really good church in Florida that can nurture all of it. Y’all pray for my family and I, please.

@gospel4grace How is the ESV wrong? Genuinely asking.

If for no other reason, the ESV is out for this error. It has led to a whole string of horrible theology by people who are ranking the frequency and severity of other people’s sins while excusing their own.
