Rev. Nick Quient

Hello, my new followers. Since that random post went viral (well, viral *for me*), I figured I’d introduce myself and give you a chance to unfollow. I’m ordained American Baptist. I’m Wesleyan in most things sans baptism and ecclesiology. I’m evangelical, egalitarian, and hold to a traditional sexual ethic. I’m basically a New Testament theologian. Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox are fellow Christians, and I love talking with serious folks in those sides of the Christian family. My first two degrees were film degrees, so you may get the occasional movie take. I’m married to Allison and we’re mom and dad to a five year old and a soon-to-be-born little one. I pastor in the Greater Los Angeles area. I homebrew. My PhD (ABD) is on the New Testament and Universal Salvation (no, not a universalist). I have too much grey in my beard. I’m also buds with @thechurchsplit and @DPGBehler and @jdpritchett so you can tell my sense of humor is broken. Nice to meet y’all.

@BornAgainBalaky Blue. Fight me.

Brian, no contest.

GOP better run him in 2028

@thechurchsplit You could spend the time talking to meeeeee

I’m so annoyed. I recorded my video about violin in worship, but my extremely nice high quality mic cut it out every time considering it “noise”. So it cancelled it. So now “editing Will” has to replay it all and record it on a crappier set up in my house. This is upsetting

@amolinguas Literally the best ever Happy birthday young king!

My youngest son turns 12 today so we are celebrating with sushi and a lovely oreo cake🥰🥰🥰🫠🫠🫠😊😊😊😊

Which Prots?

InfluPapists give the Roman Catholic Church Bill Maher vibes.

Paul has had enough

@andrewdjudd I feel like this is the answer we’ve all been waiting for.

@NickQuient Depends how long it's been left in the vestry.

DEBATE: is grape juice acceptable for the Lord’s Supper?

Catholic

Describe the current state of mainline theology with two words: “LiViNg wAtEr”

@The_MR_Chis I’m Baptist. I don’t hate that.

@NickQuient The irony that some people demand wine but are cool with a stale wafer shouldn't be lost on anyone. I think it should be a full meal. Break bread as family and remember why/how we are family.

@IFFFMEISTER Then why the crazy?

@NickQuient Rome already believes that

The Pope just to say, “Jews and us worship and adore the same God” and that will close to loop on all of this.

@TaylorRMarshall @ConceptualJames This makes you look stewpid. Just stop.

.@ConceptualJames Do you receive $7,000 for each of your posts attacking Christians? Or is it 30 pieces of silver?

@TheologyLiz Fair enough!

@NickQuient Traditionally, the accommodation is that to receive in part is to receive in full. People can receive the bread alone for any reason—I have done so while on an antibiotic that is contraindicated with even tiny amounts of alcohol.

@ApostateProphet Dawah energy

Candace: I will debate anyone! People: I'll debate you. Candace: See? No one wants to debate me, because I'm right. 🤡🤡🤡

Laity within the mainline are most often more conservative (undefined for now) than the pastorate.

@becomelutheran I haven’t watched this (just don’t have time) but wanted to give respect for your use of “changed” versus “converted” in your comment. Cheers.

Here is a short video of why I changed from Baptist to Lutheran, or at least the big moment that got it started. youtu.be/jVMA99P2TbU

@TheologyLiz Does “not normative” extend to those who have ethical issues with alcohol or were alcoholics? I suppose it depends on how far one presses the Eucharists as well. I’m a memorialist so I’m not always looking for strict correspondence.

@NickQuient Certainly should not be normative. The alcohol content matters—it's not merely about the grapes or the fact that it's red like blood, it points toward a wedding feast.
