@Stephen_Angliss No it's actually a case of poor English translation. The church fathers understood what Hades was. Moderns don't.

Your annual reminder that, no, Jesus was not in Hell between Friday and Sunday—despite what the Apostle’s Creed says.
This is a great example of the danger of over emphasizing creeds and confessionals. It results in a theology that is shaped by tradition instead of Scripture.

@PeterKalve @brookins_tim They are based on the same text but the NA will always have a more detailed apparatus than the UBS because the UBS is designed with translators in mind rather than text critics.
English
@brookins_tim How does it’s critical apparatus compare with NA29?
English
Changes. Space for apparatus greatly reduced: selection of mss reduced, removal of mod translations, & of punctuation apparatus (wh/ I actually liked), confidence ratings redefined & changed (!). Back Matter removed: cross refs, allusions & parallels, alternative readings. See:

@jrmcmanaway But he did ban mimes which I think we should all be grateful for.
English
where Justinian II tried to ban depicting Christ as a lamb, so Pope Sergius replied by placing the Agnus Dei during the fractio panis in the Mass. Take that, Emperor!

In my History of the Papacy course today we're covering monothelitism, which gives me a chance to talk about an amazing cast of characters: Vigilius, Honorius, Maximus the Confessor, Martin I. I end the day talking about the "Quinisext Council" or the Council of Trullo

@MateyYanakiev Again, this is the standard view of the Greek church. They didn’t practice infant baptism to save infants because they didn’t believe in original sin.
English
More evidence St. John Chrysostom believed infants were innocent & could be saved w/o baptism.
Preaching on Acts 9, Chrysostom tells his congregation not to weep at death, which is just new birth for
(a) little children, who have nothing to condemn them.
(b) the newly baptized.

I think my next study is going to be on Christology and Nestorianism since it appears to me that Reformed theology essentially leads to the Nestorian heresy.

@TheFIREorg Weren’t they just arguing a few years ago that the noose was a racist symbol? So @UofIllinois supports racist symbology now?
English
Free speech cuts both ways.
We’ve seen universities scrutinize pro-ICE expression on campus, and now we’re seeing opposing speech face the same treatment.
Campus police at Pennsylvania State University are investigating an anti-ICE poster that appeared on campus, depicting an ICE official hanging from a noose with the words “DEAD ICE AGENTS CAN’T KILL.” Images of the poster have also been circulating online alongside calls to identify and punish those responsible.
Penn State has publicly condemned the imagery, but the poster is protected speech that does not constitute a true threat.
As the Supreme Court notes: “The language of the political arena… is often vituperative, abusive, and inexact.”
As a public university, Penn State may not investigate or punish students for protected expression, including general endorsements of violence or incitement, even if others view it as offensive.
FIRE@TheFIREorg
The @UofIllinois’ Urbana-Champaign campus is “reviewing” the Illini Republicans student group’s social media post in support of ICE. The post states, in part, “Traitors such as Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good had voided their liberties the moment they decided they were above the law and the popular opinion.” The group says a graphic originally included in the post depicting a masked agent holding a gun to the head of a stumbling man was intended to show support for immigration law enforcement and does not target any group. While administrators condemned the post for expression that "appears to glorify violence," such statements are protected political speech under the First Amendment. UIUC itself has acknowledged that registered student organizations are independent and that their social media accounts reflect their own views, not the university’s. As a public university, UIUC may not investigate or punish student groups for their protected expression, even when others view it as controversial or offensive. Disagreement should be met with conversation and debate, not punishment.

@visegrad24 A bunch of Americans need to smuggle themselves into the country and get elected.

BREAKING:
The Law Commission of the French Parliament has adopted a bill that will grant the right to vote and stand for election in municipal elections to non-EU foreign nationals residing in France
The French Parliament will now vote on it on Feb. 12th

@MateyYanakiev This is the standard view of the Orthodox Church. It was almost universally held by the Greek Fathers.
English
John Chrysostom at shocking divergence with Augustine:
On Romans 7, Chrysostom taught when humanity became physically mortal (from Adam’s sin), the body necessarily began to feel concupiscence & other passions.
But these were *NOT* inherently sinful.
Only when overindulged!

At some point you have to ask why the early Church looks Catholic and modern Christianity doesn’t.

@SJMelniszynIII @WesleyLHuff If there is a mention of giants it’s likely nothing more than a reference to a common mythology, like a cyclops or sea monster. I would be very hesitant to see it as “proof” or “confirmation” of anything in Genesis.
English
@SJMelniszynIII @WesleyLHuff I’m not Wes, but I can tell you that the article appears to omit the fact that this manuscript is a piece of satire. It has been discussed at length by Egyptologists in the past. And the ABR is not a very reputable group. 1/2

@theistinthought I preferred Crime and Punishment if I’m being honest

Do people really like ‘The Brothers Karamozov’ or is it just cool and refined to say you do? I found it unreadable.
English
Quite a few people have tried to say that WLC is just following Aquinas in saying that philosophy is the handmaiden of theology but he’s actually saying the opposite. To Craig, biblical theology is the handmaiden to philosophy and science. He’s always believed and taught this.
Protestia@Protestia
William Lane Craig says that Adam and Eve were non-homosapien cavemen that lived 750,000 years ago, and the reasons that theologians and pastors don't know this is they are ignorant of science & philosophy, making them "impaired when it comes to doing systematic theology."

The thief on the cross was baptized in the water from jesus side
Trevor Sheatz@TrevorSheatz
The thief on the cross received eternal life with no baptism or good works to offer. This proves salvation is immediate and free for anyone who genuinely repents and trust in Jesus.
English
@HansFiene And Lutherans say ignorant things about Baptists and invite you over for beer they brew in their basement to tell you more about it.
English
Baptists be like “water baptism doesn’t save, so come over to my home house for some pizza food and sit on my furniture couch and I will tell you more about it.”
