Our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and rulers in the heavenly places. Eph 6:12. There are fallen angels with authority over the nations. America is not an exception. It’s long, but read this. tertius.substack.com/p/fallen-angel…

@TertiusIII @DrNeilStone Here’s the money part antivaxxers get wrong. Vaccines are the absolute lowest margin segment in pharmaceutical sales. Most companies would drop them. Polio wasn’t even patented.

If it weren't for vaccines we would still be having regular lockdowns for smallpox outbreaks

@TertiusIII @DrNeilStone Typical lying anti-vax nut case.

There is no link between Covid vaccines and aortic dissection

@DrNeilStone Your vaccines sure haven’t done anything to stop it.

MAHA going well I see

@TertiusIII @DrNeilStone Everybody talks about big antivaxxer game until they see this.

Scripture doesn’t say ‘Trinity’ either. But it clearly teaches it. Same with Sola Scriptura. We find numerous examples of Sola Scriptura being practiced by the early, 1st century church, the church Jesus established. Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil. 1Thes 5:21-22 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 1Cor 2:12 Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this. 2Tim 2:7 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Acts 17:11 I have applied all these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brothers, that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up in favor of one against another. 1Cor 4:6 Note how we are told to test all things. We are told we can understand the word. We are told to search out and reflect upon the word. And we are shown that others examined the word to test what authorities said. And we are told not to go beyond what is written. But Catholicism says we can’t do that anymore. And therein lies the key difference between the NT Church that Jesus established and the Catholic Church. The NT church searched the scriptures daily. The Catholic Church says don’t bother. The pope will tell you what to believe.

Recognize the obvious hypocrisy here. Evangelicals always insist on “Where does God say THAT in Scripture???”—then ridiculously flip-flop to “Well, God doesn’t have to say THIS in Scripture.” 🧵

This guy is absolutely nuts. Can you imagine having him as your Dr? This would be your treatment protocol. Broken leg - Vaccine Heart attack - Vaccine Stroke - Vaccine Sprained ankle - Vaccine Slipped disk - Vaccine You name it - Vaccine The guy has lost his mind. Oh wait. Losing your mind - Vaccine

Excellent news New Ebola vaccine in trials for the strain causing the current outbreak in DR Congo 🇨🇩 Phase 1 safety trials (healthy volunteers) taking place here in the UK 🇬🇧 Yes all new vaccines go through rigorous safety testing !

@simonmaechling We would if we could still trust you. We used to, but all that changed after Covid.

Hear me out. Instead of expecting 8 billion people to become experts from watching YouTube videos on every new infectious disease that emerges, what if we relied on people who study infectious diseases for a living? We could even organize them into public health agencies that track outbreaks, analyze the evidence, forecast emerging risks, and translate complex science into clear, practical advice for everyone else.

Last reply to you. I strongly urge you to read this. The scriptures clearly teach that Christ is the sole mediator between God and man. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 1Tim 2:5 The Bible teaches we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. So we are to trust in the sufficient, effective sacrifice that Jesus Christ made on the cross to pay for our sins. That is faith in the sacrifice of Christ. That faith is what saves you and brings you from death to life in Christ. Now Catholicism doesn’t teach this. Among many of its unbiblical dogmas, Catholicism teaches there are 7 sacraments and that these sacraments are the means of God’s grace. But most Protestants teach the sacraments (believers baptism & the Lord’s supper) are just symbols of God’s grace. By the means of grace, Catholic Sacramental Theology teaches that you receive God’s grace through participation in the sacraments. Every time you confess and are absolved (forgiven) you receive a little grace. When you take communion, you receive a little of God’s grace. When you’re confirmed, you receive a little grace, etc. But here’s why that’s a huge problem. Who administers the sacraments? The Catholic clergy. This is another key part of the church’s Sacramental Theology. The clergy are the mediators of the sacraments and thus they are mediators of the graces of God. So the Catholic Church positions itself between man and God and thus to have access to God’s grace you must come to the church and participate in its sacraments. But again, most Protestants teach the sacraments are symbols of grace. They teach, as scripture says, that there is one mediator between man and God and that’s Jesus Christ. See 1Tim 2:5 above again. The scripture is very clear. Jesus Christ is the mediator between man and God. Not any church. Not any clergyman. This false teaching about sacraments as the means of grace began early as the church was continuing its spread. As doctrines were being developed and systematized, the church had to deal with a multitude of different heresies. But it wasn’t like if you said one thing you were a heretic and if you said something different, you were a Christian. There was a continuum and people were spread all along the spectrum. Consider Gnosticism. There were some who were clearly Gnostics like Sabellius. But there were others who were best called Christian Gnostics or Gnostic Christians like Valentinus. Because of this, early church fathers/bishops sought to protect the flock from corruption by outside teachers. These teachers had an enticing message and the way the church found to be the most effective was by control through the sacraments, which could only be administered by the church. One of the earliest of these was Ignatius of Antioch. He was martyred in 110AD. Their motivation was good - control the saints by means of the sacraments to protect them. But their means was entirely unbiblical. Of course when Ignatius was martyred, the canon, though complete & closed, had not yet been fully recognized & established by the church. So a little latitude is necessary for these earliest bishops. But before the end of the 2nd century this issue of sacraments as the means of grace, rather than as mere symbols of grace should have been corrected. But there were still a multitude of heretics and control through sacraments was thought to be more effective than relying on the Holy Spirit to protect the flock. Sacraments as the means of grace is thoroughly unbiblical, but it is still a very effective means of control, thus, sadly, the practice continues even to this day. For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. Acts 20:29-30

I do not need to explain anything. The scripture explains for me. It is VERY CLEAR and LITERAL. Your interpretation of it is not. There are also other Scriptures backing up just how serious Jesus is…to the point of eating and drinking damnation upon yourself if you do not believe that it is truly the body and blood of our Lord. Would you like those scriptures as well?

The early Church was the Catholic Church.

@littleflower673 @Dominic4JChrist @JamesDueck I don’t share that. I stay anonymous and do not give clues about where I’ve lived.

@TertiusIII @Dominic4JChrist @JamesDueck What seminary?

@littleflower673 @Dominic4JChrist @JamesDueck Please explain how I twisted scripture in any of that I said. You are in serious denial. You are brainwashed and controlled.

@TertiusIII @Dominic4JChrist @JamesDueck Don’t even try to wiggle out of this very clear teaching. 2 Peter 3:16 Your interpretation is a man-made novelty.

@BostonCharlie5 @maryclareNH @TedJoy71 You also said 2.5B members. Both can’t be correct.

@TertiusIII @maryclareNH @TedJoy71 You need a remedial reading class. I said "Actually, Catholicism IS the narrow gate".

Every ex-Catholic that I know who has become Protestant has done so for one of two reasons. Either they didn't like some priest; or, Being Catholic made too many demands upon them and how they lived their lives. Every Protestant that I know who has become Catholic has done so for one - and only one - reason. They had decided that Catholicism was the One, True, and Holy Church.

@Kingfreak491 @LangmanVince It’s still AI. Get a clue.

@TertiusIII @LangmanVince Lived my last two years being with a parent in the hospital over and over. That is a freaking chair .

Mitch McConnell's office has released a photo of him from a hospital bed! Is this enough proof of life for you?

Ha. I guarantee I know the Catholic Church’s teachings far better than you do. I went to seminary. I studied church history and the history of the development of Christian thought in detail. I read all the early church fathers. Here are the books I had to read on just those 2 topics while in seminary.

First off, you completely misunderstand the Catholic Church’s teachings. So you do not even know what you are arguing against. But also, you have to understand that I am not going to trust you as the arbiter of truth. You are a man You are modern You are far removed from Christ’s resurrection. You believe novelties that were invented 1500 years after Christ. Everything you learned was by mere men with no apostolic authority. Everything I believe has been passed down through centuries (2 Thess 2:15), believed by all the early Church fathers and is Scriptural. Jesus commanded that I listen to the Church (Luke 10:16). I will stick with His Church - the only Church that is apostolic - traced all the way back to Jesus Himself in an unbroken line of succession.

Oh please. The Jews who used the LXX were Greek speaking Jews outside of Jerusalem and Judea. Jesus didn’t use it and neither did the Apostles. We see quotes in the NT that appear to be from the LXX but those were because as the manuscripts were copied, Greeks did much of that. But more importantly, the issue isn’t whether or not the LXX was used. The issue is whether or not any of the Deuterocanon was cited. And the answer is a resounding NO! There are no quotes in the NT from the Deuterocanon. None. But note that there is a quote from 1Enoch. This book is not part of the Deuterocanon but it was found in the DSS. See Jude: Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones, to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him. Jude 1:14a-15 And frankly I’m shocked you’d cite 2Mac. Heresies like 2Mac teaches is precisely why books from the Deuterocanon were rejected. 2Mac 12 says that prayers for the dead are expiatory and releases them from their sin. Hence, he had this expiatory sacrifice offered for the dead, so that they might be released from their sin. 2Mac 12:46b catholic.org/bible/book.php… Expiation means to make atonement for. Your church’s false dogma about purgatory is drawn from 2Mac 12:39-46 but the catechism teaches something very different. It doesn’t teach that purgatory atones for sins. Instead it teaches that purgatory is where a gradual purification occurs. vatican.va/content/catech… In other words, Catholicism rejects the explicit teaching of 2Mac 12:46 because it knows it is false. It knows that the sacrifice of Jesus is the only thing that atones for sins. The prayers of the living cannot atone for sins and 2Mac is heretical because it says they do. Nevertheless Catholicism still says 2Mac is inspired scripture. That means the church is pushing heresy on its members through its canon. Furthermore, it has made up pure nonsense about the purgation of sins in purgatory and its catechism teaches that prayers for the dead expedite the process. This too is pure heresy. On the cross, Christ said “It is finished.” But purgatory says “No it isn’t. You still have to pay.” Pure heresy. Remember, Christ’s sacrifice atoned for our sins, in full. They are paid for. “It is finished.” And if all that’s not bad enough, Catholicism bases this heretical, false dogma on heretical 2Mac, which doesn’t support it in the least. I’ve provided you Catholic citations. See for yourself. Seriously, you need to do some independent research instead of just unquestionably believing the false dogmas and heresies your church has pushed on you. Read the essay I sent. The RCC has usurped the role of Christ as the Sole mediator between God and man. Do you think I make that claim lightly? Don’t you want to know if there’s any truth to that? Seriously. You need to open your eyes and break free.

The Jews were reacting against Christianity. The early Church heavily used the Septuagint (Greek OT), which included the Deuterocanon. These books contain passages helpful for Christian apologetics (e.g., Wisdom 2 on the suffering righteous one prefiguring Christ; 2 Maccabees on resurrection and prayers for the dead). Post-70 AD rabbis, seeking to unify Judaism against the growing Christian “sect,” favored a strictly Hebrew-language canon tied to the Palestinian tradition and distanced themselves from Hellenistic Jewish writings popular among Christians. Also, at the time of Christ and the Apostles, Jews had no universally fixed OT canon. Different groups (Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, Diaspora Jews) used varying collections. The Septuagint was the Bible of the Apostles and early Church. Rabbinic Jews emphasized books originally in Hebrew and preserved in the land of Israel, sidelining later or Greek-composed works. This was a post-Christian development—the Church, guided by the Holy Spirit, discerned the fuller canon based on apostolic usage, not later rabbinic decisions. Christians are not bound by post-Christ rabbinic rulings (just as Jews are not bound by Church councils). The Catholic Church preserved the Old Testament as the early Church received and used it—the version with the Deuterocanon. Protestants later followed the narrower Jewish canon; Catholics stayed with the historic Christian one. The authority to define the canon belongs to the Church Christ founded, not to 1st-century rabbis who rejected the Messiah.

@TheBabylonBee Ironically, they call themselves ’The People of the Book’. Of course the book they mean isn’t the Bible. It’s the Book of Common Prayer.

@PaulMoo19848737 @DrNeilStone No. Not really. He’s totally brainwashed and is trying to brainwash his followers.

@TertiusIII @DrNeilStone Did the guy have a mind to lose?
