Enjoy God’s creation this weekend. Drink a beer.

All who are in Christ are accredited his righteousness. Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! 🙏🏻

@JoshuaTCharles All who are in Christ are accredited his righteousness. Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! 🙏🏻

Every mention of the Day of Judgment in Scripture says the verdict will be rendered based on our deeds.

@TheARCcentral @NICKMERCS Yeah, bring a couple Wolfpacks and you’ll be fine.

Here’s @NICKMERCS thoughts on the new update 👇

We don’t claim it is a biblical command. It is however a good way to “stir up one another to love and good works,” (Hebrews 10:24) Why criticize parents committed to raising their children to know and believe the gospel of Jesus Christ? Causing needless division among the body for clicks smh…

Baptist looking for a verse on infant dedication.

@lessofJonathan @9INE0hS8NT Are you enjoying yourself? How about you take this convo into your DMs. Goodbye 👋🏻

@9INE0hS8NT @IndianaBrunner Also notice how @IndianaBrunner encourages you to fight his battles for him. He is using you.

I find it hilarious how “is means is” gets repeated as some ad hoc rule, when Jesus uses the word metaphorically MULTIPLE TIMES 😂

@HeroEnchanted @C2Antiquity @5Solas2 @JayDyer Whatever helps you sleep at night. You EO bros always make me chuckle 😂 I am secure, sealed by the Holy Spirit, washed clean by the blood of Christ through faith.

@IndianaBrunner @C2Antiquity @5Solas2 @JayDyer You are outside Christ's Church, you should be concerned with that.

It's 2026. It's time for the Orthodox and Roman Catholics to stop using the phrase "We created the bible." Everyone knows you're lying.

@C2Antiquity @5Solas2 @JayDyer Yet another example of @C2Antiquity puffed up with conceit. How about you take some time off considering you’re a new convert. If you care about biblical warnings, that is.

@5Solas2 Bro, you couldn’t even interpret @JayDyer tweet. Why would I trust your interpretation of the Bible.

@JosephAlbrigo @JennyWakefiel12 And yet, scripture consistently describes Jesus’s physical body as being in heaven without ever saying or even insinuating that his physical body is present on earth (until he returns on the last day).

@JennyWakefiel12 @IndianaBrunner He is bodily in heaven and the eucharist is truly his body and blood. Catholic theology preserves botg these truths

Not sure how this strengthens your point 🤔 That’s still not enough of a reason to assume literal over figurative especially considering Jesus’s consistent usage of figurative speech. Also, we was holding the bread with his body. If there was something substantial truly happening in that moment, the gospel authors made zero effort to make it known.

@IndianaBrunner I feel like you missed the entire point of my reply. Yes, "am" is a conjugation of "to be." Thats not the point. The point is the direction of the claim. Jesus compares Himself to many things symbolically, but he never calls something Himself except when He says "this is my body"

@TheNewMexicanCG God’s presence was never in the Ark. he was always described as present atop or around the Ark. There is no contextual reason to assume this is metaphorical.

@IndianaBrunner Was God’s presence in the ark real or metaphorical?

@lessofJonathan @9INE0hS8NT Doesn’t say and I’m not in the business of inserting my assumptions into the text.

@IndianaBrunner @9INE0hS8NT Who's her household?

@9INE0hS8NT @lessofJonathan Thank you, Santiago. Grace and peace to you, my brother.

Acts 16:14-15, “Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul. And when she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, 'If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.' So she persuaded us.”

@lessofJonathan @9INE0hS8NT That’s not what it says. Bro answered your question. Bible: 1 Jonathan: 0

@9INE0hS8NT @IndianaBrunner So her babies too?

“Am” and “is” are conjugations of the verb “to be.” Jesus uses the verb metaphorically multiple times. I’m simply making the point that “is” doesn’t always mean “is.” Jesus never made the point “This is literally my body.” That’s an interpretation being imposed on the text. It’s not outside the realm of possibility that he was speaking symbolically. Catholics like to say that Protestants are claiming Jesus is a liar… no, we are taking his words the same way we do in other places where he clearly speaks metaphorically. Scripture makes it abundantly clear that it was COMMON for Jesus to speak figuratively especially considering what is said in John 16:29 by his disciples: “His disciples said, ‘Ah, now you are speaking plainly and not using figurative speech!’”

@IndianaBrunner We have no obvious cases of Him using it metaphorically when saying "X is me." There are many times when He says "I am Y" and means it metaphorically, but none in the inverse

Less than a year Orthodox, and now confidently dismantling what you used to defend? There’s a reason Scripture warns against recent converts taking positions of influence (1 Timothy 3:6). Rapid certainty after a major shift isn’t a strength, but a warning sign. You may not be a priest, but that warning still applies. Try not to get too puffed up with conceit.

I will have to respectfully offer some friendly pushback on point 4 In his video. (Protestants have no continuity with the early church) This is demonstrably true, and can be demonstrated by asking the following question: Protestants, do you ACTUALLY have the same faith as the Christians at the time of Nicaea? Do you believe in (one)church in visible communion? (One) Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church? *The Creed One baptism for the forgiveness of sins? *The Creed Does your church have Bishops, deacons and presbyters? *Canon 3 Do you believe in penances? *Canon 11 Do you believe in Real Presence and Final Communion? *Canon 13 If you cannot check all of these boxes, you do not have continuity of the faith of even the Christians at Nicaea 1

Terrific points by @gavinortlund. This is a very careful and balanced push back on the continual (unwarranted and often completely misunderstood) critiques we as public Protestants often receive. youtu.be/J2E6duQQWgA?si…

Catholics say this all the time, and yet they can’t show you how the Bible (without Roman eisegesis) convinced them to: 1. Submit to Rome 2. Pray to deceased Christians 3. Bow to images and statues 4. Believe in purgatory 5. Believe anyone but Jesus was sinless 6. Believe that some sort of miracle took place at the Lord’s Supper 7. Believe Mary was bodily assumed to Heaven 8. Remain celibate if they wish to be a priest 9. Believe there are infallible authorities besides scripture 10. Believe remaining in God’s grace is dependent on their performance
