New shorts! For kids! Buck Denver takes over a radio studio and... mayhem ensues. Check it out here: mrphil.tv/programs/colle…

@rashmoosten @BBPGangsta Nowhere in the article does French make a “Christian case” for transitioning kids. He’s writing about parental rights.

@philvischer @BBPGangsta nytimes.com/2023/03/12/opi… So are trans women actually woman?

"You don't like the Trump admin's treatment of immigrants. That means you're a Democrat who loves abortion and gender-reassignment surgery for kids." Um... no. No it doesn't. It means I don't like the Trump admin's treatment of immigrants.

@rashmoosten @BBPGangsta Do you have the article?

@philvischer @BBPGangsta music.amazon.com/podcasts/92626…

@rashmoosten @BBPGangsta Not aware of any such article.

@philvischer @BBPGangsta Did it bother you when David French wrote an article for the New York Times making the Christian case for transitioning kids? That might’ve been a good opportunity to clarify evangelicalism’s stance on the issue don’t you think?

@rashmoosten @BBPGangsta (If evangelicals were huge supporters of modern gender ideology, I’d be talking about it much more. It isn’t a big issue within evangelicalism.)

@rashmoosten @BBPGangsta I generally use Twitter to bring up issues within evangelicalism. We’ve discussed gender ideology on the podcast numerous times over the years.

@rashmoosten @BBPGangsta I haven’t checked, but that may also be true.

@philvischer @BBPGangsta The number of anti transgenderism posts you’ve made over the last 15 years amounts to zero.

@rashmoosten @BBPGangsta The number of posts I've made over the last 15 years because someone told me to amounts to zero.

@philvischer @BBPGangsta I noticed you didn’t accept the challenge, Vischer. Why is that?

Last June, Esau wrote this article as Trinity Sunday coincided with the protests in Los Angeles. As tomorrow’s protest approaches, let’s remember that protest & worship go hand in hand. In the face of empire, worshiping a holy God stabilizes us and sends us out transformed. Check out the full article here ⬇️ holypost.com/post/yes-prote…

@NKreformed @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger @HwsEleutheroi I think they were summarizing Skye’s statement in the video clip, which was Skye’s statement, not mine. I’m not familiar enough with every creed to have a position on which one or combo represents the nonnegotiable of the faith. So, no, I wouldn’t say that.

@philvischer @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger @HwsEleutheroi So, for the sake of clarity, you would reject what the Holy Post Media Manager wrote in the headline above the clip?

Why sexuality is a first order issue for Christians, even while it is not mentioned in the ancient creeds. A @SermonShots clip from Ed's recent interview with @EricGeiger Here's an article on why sexuality is not an "agree to disagree" issue. buff.ly/VW6m23Q

@NKreformed @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger @HwsEleutheroi I didn't make that claim.

@philvischer @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger @HwsEleutheroi “If you profess the Nicene Creed & the Apostles’ Creed, you count as a legitimate Christian. Period.” -Holy Post X Account. There is no way to make this claim and simultaneously reject that any of these people are “legitimate Christians.”

@NKreformed @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger @HwsEleutheroi You can use the term loosely if you’d prefer.

@philvischer @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger @HwsEleutheroi Heresy has been a fairly broad term throughout church history. Augustine, Tertullian, Calvin, Luther, Knox, Irenaeus and others used the term quite loosely. Many councils were held formally declaring false teachings heresy.

@NKreformed @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger @HwsEleutheroi Historically, heresy would be a teaching that compromises the Gospel message. A false teaching about Jesus, the Trinity, salvation by grace, etc. Idolatry would be sin, not heresy.

@NKreformed @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger @HwsEleutheroi Your definition of heresy is more broad than the historical usage.

@NKreformed @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger @HwsEleutheroi What’s your standard for heresy?

@philvischer @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger @HwsEleutheroi Right, but my premise is that the Judaizers and abortion advocates are heretical despite affirming the Apostle’s and Nicene creeds. Therefore, your definition of orthodoxy is too broad. To continue debating this would require you to accept or reject my premise.

@NKreformed @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger @HwsEleutheroi The convo was about the creeds being useful for setting a “bar” for heresy. Not all doctrinal disagreements rise to the level of heresy. So, yes, there are primary doctrines that define orthodoxy.

@philvischer @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger @HwsEleutheroi It is relevant because I’m trying to establish that you actually DO believe in primary vs secondary issues. I’m not sure why you don’t want to admit this. Abortion advocates and Judaizers are just two obvious examples.

@NKreformed @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger @HwsEleutheroi That question is unrelated to the convo.

@philvischer @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger @HwsEleutheroi It’s hard to get into this conversation without getting into specifics, but you seem to be dodging my questions and are asking me questions that are far too broad. Can a person support the murder of the unborn in the womb be considered a regenerated Christian?

@NKreformed @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger @HwsEleutheroi 1 Cor 15 is obviously a key source for early church teaching summarized in the early creeds. No argument there.

@philvischer @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger @HwsEleutheroi The concept of theological triage is made clear throughout scripture. 1 Corinthians 15 talks about matters of first importance. Which specific doctrine do you want me to prove as a primary issue? There is no exhaustive list but we can search the scriptures for specifics.

@NKreformed @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger @HwsEleutheroi So if God is the source of the order of doctrinal priorities, can you point to where in Scripture He has done the ordering?

@philvischer @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger @HwsEleutheroi No, I did not write scripture. Do you reject theological triage? Do you believe that Judaizers and those who affirm homosexuality/abortion are saved Christians?

@NKreformed @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger @HwsEleutheroi You were referring to "first order" issues. It sounds like you're saying your source of ordering of issues into priorities is... yourself?

@philvischer @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger @HwsEleutheroi There is no exhaustive list in scripture, but we can do the same thing the Church Fathers did at Nicaea—use scripture and reason to determine truth. Would you say that a person who openly encourages (but does not themselves engage in) abortion or homosexuality is Christian?

@NKreformed @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger @HwsEleutheroi Where in scripture do you find the ranking of beliefs into tiers? Where is the “official” list?

@philvischer @csquared78 @edstetzer @SameOldNancy @SermonShots @EricGeiger The Nicene Creed was created to address the errors of the time, but many social issues are “top tier” issues. @HwsEleutheroi pointed out that even the Judaizers would fall under that wide umbrella. Ecuminism is dangerous because it removes the unregenerate from the mission field.
