The Baxter posting will continue until morale improves.

@BradyJBush @irishpresby @elimcgowan It isn't anti-Christ to say that racism isn't a sin because it's not. Obesity is.

@irishpresby @elimcgowan Pastors can and should be charged for liking anti-Christ memes.

As friends of Rev. Garris are pointing out, his PCA Presbytery is having his ecclesiastical trial on Wednesday. Rev. Garris had a formal call for discipline come from about a hundred elders around the country during the summer of 2024 after he defended chattel slavery (which he later apologized for), and was found to have liked many racist memes and statements like one that said racism was not a moral failing.

@EddyEkofo I don't understand and you're wrong.

I love my Anons but if you are one you’re excluded from calling others: effeminate, coward etc. until we who aren’t give you a pass. Thank you for your understanding.

Praying for my brother and friend @ZacharyGarris this week as his trial before Rio Grande Presbytery is Wednesday. Psalm 135:14

@dubiousfacts @patdman83 Can't replace the best.

@caesar_beaver @patdman83 Replaced.

Hell yeah, it is. Let's keep it that way #ILoveNorthAlabama

@patdman83 Damn straight it is.

@caesar_beaver It’s also one of the poorest places in America. But hey, racism is cool!

@PresbyPilgrim @MimiSchizo @DrJordanBCooper More or less

@MimiSchizo I think this is what @DrJordanBCooper does

lutherans need some sort of pope to write cool enyclicals and aura farm all day

@MimiSchizo @CoreyJMahler?

@PracticalTheolo Because Jesus is the *unique* Son of God. The firstborn. The *only begotten*, not made nor created.

@caesar_beaver No, this is Athanasius' goofy argument. 'Son of God' is used for various things in the Bible, not just Jesus.

Please pray for my friend, Dalton. Had a very lengthy conversation with him about his "biblical Unitarianism". It was long and difficult but we got through it. I just want him to recognize that he's wrong before it's too late.

@RfrmdEvangelicl @_matthewpearson @tyler_austin55 I'm making it one

@_matthewpearson @tyler_austin55 This should be a copypasta

There are really good answers to the questions presented in this book.

@PracticalTheolo Jesus is God by virtue of being Yeshua ben-Yahweh. Being ben-Yahweh means, to the Jews, that He partakes in that Yahweh-ness. This makes Him God.

@caesar_beaver Not sure what you're saying here.

@PracticalTheolo You do not know what common sense is. You're philosophically and Biblically illiterate.

@caesar_beaver No, common-sense can definitely get overridden by goofy theories.

@PracticalTheolo I should've been clearer in my message but you're equating John's being sent from God to prophesy of Jesus to Jesus' very being of God.

@caesar_beaver Not sure what your point is here. I never said Jesus called himself 'the Son from God'.

@PracticalTheolo No one can have their common sense removed from them, that's part of having an intellect. It's like Uno in that it came free with your Xbox, as it were.

@caesar_beaver No, some people lack common-sense to varying degrees, especially when they've had it pounded out of them by clever-sillies advocating for theories (such as Trinitarianism).

@PracticalTheolo Jesus doesn't call Himself the Son from God, He says that He is the Son of God. John says that he is the Light from God. You have to be just as particular as Scripture is.

@caesar_beaver No, 'Son of God' in the Bible means someone in a privileged relationship with God. But yes, Jesus is 'from' God, similar to how John the Baptist is 'from' God.

@matt_everhard NASB77 or maybe ASV?

I love this vintage Bible and translation! Without using Grok, what translation is this and why is it slightly unusual? Hints in the passage shown.

@PracticalTheolo That's not how the phrase works. That's not what it means. The point of common sense is that everyone has it. Reid defended it against Hume because the idea is that *everyone* has a baseline understanding of reality. Common sense, philosophically, means nothing more.

@caesar_beaver Perhaps you simply lack common-sense, so think the word is 'meaningless'?

@PracticalTheolo Mary's little lamb isn't an ancient Hebraic song. "Son of God" means that you are literally *from God* to the Jews, which is why they wanted to kill Him. Son of God means to partake in the nature of God, so God the Son is the logical clarification of that. Stop being stupid.

@caesar_beaver Is Mary's little lamb also Mary?

@AngloSouthern Unfortunate to see a woman celebrating it but overall, looks good

Cool to see Anglicans in the CoE returning to their actual liturgical tradition.

@PracticalTheolo None of those things are common sense, that's not what common sense is or how it works.

@caesar_beaver I'm not referring to the title of 'Christ' when talking about common-sense semantics. I'm talking about concepts like 'begotten', 'sent', communicating with, proper names, and so on.
