@PatrickKAbbott Thanks. Having eight kids and rereading stories pays off apparently.

@JacobCHanson You just won the internet for the day with that observation.

A man who pushes sedevacantist theories calling the Pope an anti-pope and an Old Catholic priest who rejects multiple Church councils at the "Catholics for Catholics" gala. Once again proving being Catholic isn't a common feature in the group.

@Joeinblack @emzanotti x.com/JacobCHanson/s…

Hey @emzanotti I’m thinking of starting a group called “Catholic Catholics for Catholic Catholics who are Catholic” You in?

@Andreisright My reason for asking is that is appears he has no idea of how adult confirmation works.

@JacobCHanson Classes for adults are once a week for about 2 hours, it is done in less than 1 year I think.

No, the youth are not moving towards the Roman Catholic cult! You haven’t even been Catholic long enough to receive the Catholic sacrament of confirmation. Your institution is being exposed all over the Internet

@OVTweetmarck Unbaked fruit tarts your doctor doesn't want you to know about.

They’re doing this to me tomorrow

@BibleInContext1 For a former Catholic, you really do not understand the claims the church makes.

Catholicism hypocritically condemns Christians for Sola Scriptura while they practice Sola Ecclesia. Roman Catholicism believes that the infallible authority of Scripture must have an external authentication. They claim that Scripture cannot stand on its own authority, yet assumes their Church can. Apparently the Catholic church establishes its own infallible authority. They teach Scripture must be authenticated and interpreted by their Church, while their Church gets to authenticate itself. In practice, this is sola ecclesia. If Scripture requires the Roman Catholic churches “infallible” authority to authenticate it then you cannot use Scripture to establish the authority of the Roman Church. It's circular reasoning. If the Roman Catholic Church can authenticate itself as an infallible authority, then the Scripture can authenticate itself as an infallible authority!

@IndianaBrunner Examples?

No one hates on the Bible more than online Catholic and Orthodox apologists.

@YoDanno Praying for you and your family.

Friends, bad news. Got as far as O’Hare today, and had to turn around. Had to cancel GaryCon trip. My father was admitted to the ICU, already on hospice care and going fast. Don’t mean to dump this on you all, just might be in and out for awhile, though some time here might help distract me too.

@Joseph_Spurgeon Not all protestants define sola scriptura the same as you. Multiple definitions make understanding and discussion difficult.

Roman Catholics never seem to understand the doctrine of sola scriptura. Sola scriptura is not the belief that Holy Scripture is the only authority, nor that an individual can infallibly interpret the Scriptures. Rather, it is the doctrine that Holy Scripture is the only infallible authority and therefore has supreme authority over the church. It is not the only authority. The church has real authority, along with other forms of authority in the Christian life. Those who hold to sola scriptura also maintain that Scripture is to be understood within the life of the church. It was given to the church. It guards and defines the boundaries of the church. It shapes the life of the church. The church receives it, interprets it, and works through it, not as a single infallible institution, but as a body that is accountable to the Word. A central problem in Roman Catholic argumentation is their equivocation on the word infallible. They blur the distinction between infallible and inerrant, and then build an entire doctrine on that confusion. Infallible means unable to err by nature. It is not merely that something happens to be correct in a given instance. It means it cannot be wrong. Holy Scripture is infallible because it is the very Word of God. God cannot err, and therefore His Word cannot err. Everything Scripture says carries full authority because it is true without any possibility of error. Human beings, however, can make inerrant statements without being infallible. “Jesus Christ is the Messiah” is an inerrant statement. “My name is Joseph Spurgeon” is an inerrant statement. Even something like the table of contents of Scripture can be correct. The church can recognize the canon without error. But none of that makes the church infallible. It simply means that, at times, it has spoken truly. Infallibility is not something that comes and goes. It is not something that appears in rare moments and then disappears. If a person or institution is infallible, that is a property of what they are, not a temporary condition they enter into under certain circumstances. That is exactly where the Roman doctrine of papal infallibility breaks down. It claims the Pope is infallible only in specific moments, under carefully defined conditions. That is not infallibility. That is a redefinition of the term to protect a doctrine that cannot stand on its own. And historically, this was not some universally held belief quietly passed down from the apostles. In the Middle Ages, the Franciscans, particularly in their disputes over poverty, began pressing arguments that would effectively bind the Pope to prior authoritative statements. They were attempting to lock in earlier papal rulings so that a later pope could not overturn them. In response, Pope John XXII rejected those claims outright. He saw exactly what was happening. To grant that kind of infallibility would place the pope in submission to prior declarations in a way that undermined his own authority. He resisted it, and the idea was not accepted as settled doctrine at the time. Only much later, under very different pressures, was papal infallibility formally defined at the First Vatican Council in 1870. It was not the clear, consistent teaching of the church through the ages. It was a deformation, argued for, resisted, and finally imposed. Sola scriptura cuts through all of this confusion. It locates infallibility where it actually belongs, in the Word of God. Scripture alone cannot err. Scripture alone carries absolute authority. The church has real authority, but it is always a derived and accountable authority. It can speak truly, but it is never incapable of error. Everything must be judged by the Word of God, because only the Word of God is infallible.

@breann_b_ Spring starts in May, when I can plant and no sooner.

Well the windows are open, so I guess spring has arrived.

@MrQuestX Looks the same as the survey I just filled out.

🤣🤣👍 alrighty if you want my opinion so badly.

@brim006 I prefer the 80s 4runners, but yeah they were great then. You couldn't pay me to drive a modern one.

If you had to pick 1 vehicle forever why would it be a 1992 4Runner?

@KasimirUrbanski As a Catholic family of nerds, this looks great. Am I correct in believing this has all the rules needed, and is not simply a setting book.

ACKS is okay for a system, it has a couple of 3e influences, it also does a really good job of domain level play. There are thousands of OSR products that cover all kinds of styles of play in genre. The latest of my various historical fantasy books for example is Baptism of Fire, which is set in early medieval Poland at the time of christianization, player characters typically can act as adventurers or heroes who are seeking to protect Christians from pagan uprisings, witches, and supernatural monsters.

Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro have decided that Dungeons & Dragons cannot make them the money they want, unless they turn it into an online walled garden.

@jontheharris @BibleInContext1 Ok. Define heathen. Hint: Catholics are not heathens.

@JacobCHanson @BibleInContext1 We're commanded to spread the gospel to heathens. Repent and seek Christ.

Actually, Christian’s see idolatry and blasphemy towards a holy God! Jesus is not on your pagan altar. Jesus after he made purification for sins is now seated at the right hand of the Majesty on high!

@FidesInvictus @haymes_joshua

Rome is wrong

I thought Tucker was an American, not Israeli, citizen.

@KasimirUrbanski I grew up on 2nd edition. We are going to try OSR sometime. Any recommendations? I was looking at ACKS.

@JacobCHanson That's great! Check out the OSR.

Going from Protestantism to Catholicism is apostasy. It is falling from grace as Paul puts it in Galatians 5 as it necessitates working to earn your salvation. It’s adding to the finished work of Christ by which no man can attain in his best efforts
