Coram Deo Baptist

@betostaxes @jacelala All I said was that the Eucharist is a scriptural concept. How did you extrapolate the insight into my hermeneutic? You do realize that the record of Scripture extends thousands of years B.C., right? Is all of that the history of the Catholic church? Continues? Is the Canon open?

@severegrace @jacelala You treat scripture like something to discover. It’s a written record of what the Catholic Church experienced and continues to experience

Lord of the Rings is Catholic. It’s disturbing people don’t know this

@FourEyedEagle @OrdinariateUSA Are you saying without an "interpretation" there is no contradiction? Or are you saying that your interpretation doesn't contradict Sola Fide? Or, that your understanding of Sola Scriptura requires an interpretation of Sola Fide?

@severegrace @OrdinariateUSA No, because that requires an interpretation, which protestants are against as of sola scriptura

I don’t get why evangelicals think they can disprove one Bible verse by quoting another Bible verse Example “James 2:17: you see we are justified by works and not by faith alone” Instead of addressing the verse, they will just respond with Galatians 2:8-9 They will put scripture at war with itself to prove their doctrine instead of reading all of scripture together

@RodRuiz14 @jacelala Yes, thank you. I was asking what aspects were particularly Catholic. I already knew and never doubted that Tolkien was Catholic and had this in mind when writing. But does that mean the symbolism he inserted was uniquely Catholic?

@severegrace @jacelala Letter 142 The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally religious and Catholic work; unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision. That is why I have not put in, or have cut out, practically all references to anything like ‘religion’, to cults or practices, 🧵

@betostaxes @jacelala It is a Scriptural practice, de facto. Simply stating something beyond this does not make it so. Would that be the Judean Catholic Church?

@severegrace @jacelala Does your Baptist church spend time worshipping the Eucharist?

@betostaxes @jacelala Nope. But we eat the Eucharist. Did you think Catholicism trademarked that word?

@OrdinariateUSA Is it possible it only contradicts your understanding of Sola Fide and not the actual Reformed doctrine?

@severegrace In Protestant theology, yes, because James 2:14-26 directly contradicts “faith alone”

@betostaxes @jacelala And the Eucharist is particular to Catholicism?

@severegrace @jacelala The Lembas bread is the Eucharist per the author

@crowe_justinp Is it possible that the interpretation of the Magisterium is what's holding him back?

His “interpretation” is really what’s holding him back.

@josephnollasj Of "those both of women" how many were without sin?

Mary was born without the stain of Original Sin. But let’s not forget that all the angels (even the rebel angels) were created without sin. And let’s not forget that Adam and Eve were created without sin. All this to say, sin is unnatural. It’s an infection, the most dangerous of infections - but sin has never been what it means to be human. When Christ’s victory is brought to completion in us, and our wills are purified and transformed to the point where sin becomes inconceivable for us, then we will be perfectly human and perfectly natural - we will be precisely as God intended us to be.

@HoldenCCole Why do you care if it's Biblical?

Sola Scriptura isn’t Biblical.

@MrCasey62 Typically, you can tell words are different when they are spelled differently.

Today’s installment of “Evangelicals don’t know the Bible”: Evangelical: “There is nothing lacking in the suffering of Christ.” St. Paul: “I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, & I am completing in my flesh WHAT IS LACKING IN THE SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST…” ~ Col 1:24

@UcheMaryOkoli And “the words of the priest create Jesus Christ.”

I don't care what anyone says. You can even block me after this tweet. The Eucharist is Jesus himself. You are in the wrong "church" if you don't celebrate Mass there. The Eucharist is not a symbol. It is Jesus in his full and entire form...Body, Blood, Soul and Divinty. Count yourself blessed and lucky that as a Catholic, you get to partake in this great spiritual feast. Jesus himself made it clear that this is His Body. Not his symbol. But His Body! Let that sink in!

@UcheMaryOkoli And that if “the person of the Redeemer had not as yet been in the world,” the priest, by pronouncing the words of consecration, “would produce this great person of a Man-God.”

@UcheMaryOkoli Catholics teach that a priest may “be called the creator of his Creator” because by the words of consecration he “creates, as it were, Jesus in the sacrament.” Let that sink in.

@MaddyStrong3 @NJWeber18 @AttiaDS @Alexander_Aiell @MrCasey62 Apology accepted

@severegrace @NJWeber18 @AttiaDS @Alexander_Aiell @MrCasey62 That's your thing. Sorry that offended you

@MaddyStrong3 @NJWeber18 @AttiaDS @Alexander_Aiell @MrCasey62 Nope sorry

@severegrace @NJWeber18 @AttiaDS @Alexander_Aiell @MrCasey62 His thorn was not related to his ministry. His shipwrecks were loosely related because he got in them during his travels but that is a stretch. But now his sufferings are not all internal ministry-related

@MaddyStrong3 @NJWeber18 @AttiaDS @Alexander_Aiell @MrCasey62 Are you running on over to Bible Hub like you said?

@severegrace @NJWeber18 @AttiaDS @Alexander_Aiell @MrCasey62 Well that's not true. He names all his sufferings
