@PartBaptist1689 In your version Peter be like "baptism is for your children, but not for your children"

@StNickRespecter He is referring generationally. It is impossible to know if infant is called by God (elect).
English
Research shows that infant baptism was a development of doctrine. To claim that infant baptism is biblical, you must ignore tons of scholarly research that says otherwise. This is what convicts me to remain Baptist.
English
@PatrologyVotary I would say the same of Calvin and the reformation but honestly the variance in the reformers makes the Fathers look like they are in lockstep
English
Anyone who spends time reading the Church Fathers and is honest with what he sees will concur with Calvin: “those holy men were ignorant of many things, are often opposed to each other, and are sometimes at variance with themselves.”

WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!
WHAT IS HAPPENING?!!!

@TheAnnaMurphy It wasn't on the ballot? You people can hear yourselves right? IT IS LITERALLY BEING PUT ON A BALLOT!!!!!
English
The Prime Minister is right.
Albertans did not vote for separatism in the last provincial election. It was not on the ballot, it was not central to the government’s platform, and it was not presented as a mandate to destabilize the future of Confederation.
At a time of global economic uncertainty, Alberta should be focused on strengthening investment, expanding market access, building infrastructure, creating jobs, and helping lead a strong Canadian economy, not fuelling political chaos that undermines confidence in our future.
Alberta’s strength has always come from helping build Canada, not retreating from it. We are strongest when Alberta is at the centre of a united, ambitious, and economically confident Canada.

"Did (Albertans) vote for this last provincial election? No, they didn't, it wasn't on the ballot paper, it wasn't in the mandates or platforms of the governing party..." PM Mark Carney says a separatist question on a question isn't helpful to the economy, that it wasn't part of the UCP's election platform- joking that Premier Smith doesn't always take his advice.

@Bratt_world She cited the most incomprehensibly stupid Albertans of all time, Lukazik might impress you but he has less brain power than any politician I've ever heard of

In defense of the boomers. The contempt we aim at the old is practice for the contempt that will one day be aimed at us.

@DerekPederson3 You need either
1)infinite energy
2)a fuel about 1000x as efficient as anything we have conceived so far

Science fiction nerds are gonna hate me for saying this but the Great Filter is that interstellar travel is probably more or less impossible and there is no reason to come up with any other explanation for that.

@JJ_McCullough WCC was on the rise and if Lougheed hadn't called a snap election before they were formed they probably would have done fairly well, at least won some seats

@TristinHopper Fort Sask is hilarious though. If it were like Kansas City and everyone got mad at it it would be bad but it is just hilarious whenever someone gets it wrong

My top Canadian place name changes:
1. Only Kamloops or Kelowna can start with a K. Fight with guns to determine who.
2. It's "St." Not "Ste." or "Saint."
3. Fort Saskatchewan renamed Fort Alberta.
4. Saint John, NB renamed to "Brunswick City."
5. Only one city gets to have "Vancouver" in the name. The others will be named after Beachcombers characters.

@alfredjviii Crazy how "mystery" is viewed as "plot hole" in people's minds
English
There's no plot hole. Just a mystery.
Sifo-Dyas commissioned a clone army on his own or under influence from the Sith, happened to die & the Sith took advantage or they killed him & took over the operation; or after he died Dooku posed as him to commission the army to begin with.
G.S. Quay@hemingquay
@mightydudbolt He also does have a tendency to leave huge plot holes. I still have no idea what was going on with the whole “Sifo Dyas” thing in Attack of the Clones, and I’m pretty well versed in the lore.

@sarobertson_ This idiot is attacking the premier who is on his side because as usual he demonstrates he has fewer than 3 brain cells and doesn't believe in democracy

@kestinen @actsmaniac This btw is also true of internal immigration
English
@kestinen @actsmaniac People can dislike continuing high levels of immigration without hating the immigrants themselves. Immigrants can be good people and by no fault of their own make society weaker and cause problems for the people already in an area
English
the fact that many progressives are confused by this shows they haven't truly understood the modern far-right yet

A “fiercely loyal” Canadian would not have spent two years trying to burn down Canada.
A “fiercely loyal” Canadian would not have made a deal with separatists to give them everything they wanted.
A “fiercely loyal” Canadian would not ride the fence and only say she stood for Canada when it became politically convenient.
Danielle Smith is not an innocent bystander. She cannot blame 700,000 Albertans for this. She has been driving the separatist bus the entire time.
Danielle Smith@ABDanielleSmith
I am fiercely loyal to Alberta and Canada and will be voting for our province to remain in confederation Kicking the can down the road only prolongs an emotional and important debate, and muzzling the voices of hundreds of thousands of Albertans who want to be heard is unjustifiable in a free and democratic society. It’s time to have a vote, understand the will of Albertans, and move on. Read my full op-ed here: calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…

@MeltingSnowBro @GrailCavalier This always seemed the most likely explanation, like how else could he have ordered a massive clone army?
English
@GrailCavalier My assumption was that it was Palpatine pretending to be a dead Jedi, using his codes or something.
English
When I was a kid I thought it was pretty obvious "Sifo Dyas" was an alias for Palpatine or Dooku, and that they were also the ones who erased the records from the archive.
I was so pissed when both EUs made him a real guy.

@StNickRespecter Regardless, the church has no authority from God to do what it did in this situation.
English
The popish religion continues to deny the valid authority of the civil realm.
Rorik Wanka@RorikWanka
So here's my situation: - We had a wedding 23 years ago in the Episcopal Church. - I was Catholic, she was not - Was assured at the time that the marriage would be "valid, yet irregular" - She converted to Catholicism 12 years ago - No one cared or found a problem at Catholic Churches we attended with our marriage which produced four children - Move to a traditional Church - Marriage found to be invalid - Ordered to cease marital relations until marriage can be convalidated. Am I allowed to kiss my long-term live-in girlfriend?

@BaykalSheikh @LukeMontalbano @AlexanderF1909 only nominally, they always did exactly what we asked almost immediately. it was a mere formality really
English
@LukeMontalbano @AlexanderF1909 Didn’t Trudeau actually get independence for Canada-finally 200 years after American independence from British?
Till before him, all Canadian constitution changes had to be approved by British parliament…
English
IMO this election was the most singularly consequential (and disastrous) in the post-war period.
