When making disciples, you must give practical steps to biblical principles befitting the disciple's need. Saying "Have faith" isn't helpful to someone who doesn't know what it means to have faith. You must give them actionable steps to practice their faith.

@EllieTannerJack @Taylor_A_Eaton So you never test your interpretation against the larger body of Christ? You never ask a solid brother or sister in the Lord for their understanding of a passage? Do you go to church and listen to the preaching of the word? The Word of God teaches these things.

@MaceWilder @Taylor_A_Eaton Sounds like you need to take time and read the Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you. I would rather have the Holy Spirit guide me than fallen men. You might want to invest in Revelation on what God says about adding to the Bible.

I grew up dispensational, but now embrace covenant theology. Out of curiosity, any on here grow up with covenantal theology and go dispensational?

@Reece_hardin @AlexLAlb @AtheistTakes 1 Cor 7 literally says the opposite. The unbelieving spouse can leave you, you can't make them stay, but you are to stay married so far as depends on you. What verse are you thinking about?

@AlexLAlb @AtheistTakes You can biblically divorce your spouse if they are not Christian…

Redditor's boyfriend is now religious

@EllieTannerJack @Taylor_A_Eaton This is a cop out. Saying you interpret the bible by reading it for yourself does nothing to define what you actually believe. It doesn't further the conversation at all either. Also no one reads scripture in a true vacuum. Reading it without input does not guarantee accuracy.

@Taylor_A_Eaton Don’t know what either means. I grew up just reading the Bible and almost no Christian books. Very freeing. Bible reading without the extras is something people who experienced real persecution understand. Bible was illegal in my former country…USSR.

@EzraBrainard @Taylor_A_Eaton Respectfully, this is a cope. You cope by assuming that your opponents on a certain topic must be less educated or versed in your beliefs with no evidence to it other than that they don't hold your beliefs.

@Taylor_A_Eaton There is a huge difference between growing up within pop dispy culture and having been educated in dispy theology.

@777TheCross777 @YourCalvinist @Protestia Is this how you maintain disdain for reformed Christianity? You take people teaching unreformed things with nasty character and you label them reformed to justify yourself? You have managed to somehow combine straw man and ad hominem fallacies. You deserve an X trophy.

@YourCalvinist @Protestia I’ll bet he’s actually a Calvinist 😂 all the Calvinist I’ve ever met are pompous and arrogant, and look down on everybody else. This guy seems to fit that profile.

Things we hate: This open air "preaching"

@PatAbendroth Your church probably does talk about the Ascension more than you realize. Talks about the current ministry of Christ, the Kingship of Christ, and the second coming all relate to the ascension. Does you church scarcely talk about these things?

Why do we hear so little about the ascension of Jesus from Christians?

@PatAbendroth Because you're either in the wrong circles, or you're at church on Easter Sunday which is about the Resurrection and not in church on Ascension day, or you're not listening to the whole sermon.

@Stephen_Angliss So he didn't set the captives free. Gotcha

Your annual reminder that, no, Jesus was not in Hell between Friday and Sunday—despite what the Apostle’s Creed says. This is a great example of the danger of over emphasizing creeds and confessionals. It results in a theology that is shaped by tradition instead of Scripture.

@LJersey77 @TomorrowsWar Very Christ like. You're killing it. Sure lots of catholics will convert thanks to you.

@MaceWilder @TomorrowsWar Dude, Not one person responds back to you along your entire timeline, Now, Take a look at my timeline. Either way, Thank you for expressing your personal feelings.

Ross, define worship for me

@LJersey77 @TomorrowsWar Bro, I'm saying that I am someone who holds your views and telling you that you suck at expressing them. Mostly because you aren't actually stating the Word of God but making crappy argumentation off of your interpretation of them.

@MaceWilder @TomorrowsWar I'm not versing nor debating, I've simply stated the word of God.

@LJersey77 @TomorrowsWar Then you aren't qualified to be in these catholic vs PROTestant discussions

@MaceWilder @TomorrowsWar "I'm a fellow prot" For the record, I have no clue what this means.

@LJersey77 @TomorrowsWar I'm a fellow prot, but you have no humility to acknowledge your sloppy argumentation. Your argumentative for arguments sake. Bye now.

@MaceWilder @TomorrowsWar Lol, What argument or claim are YOU claiming that I made?

@MrCasey62 He is Nestorian without realizing it. This is why prots mustn't be ignorant of church history, the councils, and the creeds. They exist for a reason. To deny them unilaterally without investigation is not protest but willful ignorance.

No, he doesn’t care what the BIBLE says. Jesus, God the Son, is biblical. Jesus having a mother is biblical. Therefore, God the Son having a mother is biblical. Which means Mary, the Mother of God, is biblical. His post isn’t remotely pro-Bible, just anti-Catholic. And childish.

@Lin7Av @jonbernardk I've never heard a telling of this where the pastor didn't do something like this. Is this unusual?

@jonbernardk Imagine how many more kids would go to church on Sunday if a preacher read that passage out loud and asked: “Now why would he have written that?” and thrown out perfectly human reasons as well as nobler possibilities. 😂

Why did John HAVE to include this in the Easter story 😭

@5Solas2 No. It's redefining what religion is. Many confuse the word "Religion" with man made traditions. Also, God does have expectations for the way we live our lives but the true Christian religion is ultimately about our relationship with God.

Is this true?

@LJersey77 @TomorrowsWar I would agree that you aren't arguing as Webster defines "Arguing" as "giving reasons for or against something." Your "argument/claim" is made nonsensically.

@MaceWilder @TomorrowsWar I'm not arguing, I'm simply stating that nowhere in God's word does it tell us that Jesus' body and blood are in a piece of wafer or wine.

@Aservants_heart @5Solas2 "It will be posted". So you've seen it but it isn't posted yet?

@MaceWilder @5Solas2 He went on a live open panel debate and got absolutely demolished.

lol the difference is the word they use, that's it.

@LJersey77 @TomorrowsWar I was asking what you were arguing against, not what your stance is. I gathered that much.

@MaceWilder @TomorrowsWar Do this in rememberance. That's it.

@5Solas2 @Aservants_heart If they are making TikToks, it means you got under their skin

@Aservants_heart It's heretical to believe the Bible is the foundation for Christian beliefs?

@5Solas2 Notice all are worshipped the same way despite saying they are worshipped differently.
