Stephen Hackett

My stomach hurts from laughing so hard 🤣

@JoshuaBarzon This is pretty good!

You might consider doing a response video to this, @DrJordanBCooper. It’s gaining a lot of traction, and the way it portrays the issue is seriously misleading. I disagree with the Catholic position here, but even so, I would never misrepresent it the way Protestants are being misrepresented in this clip.

@lutheranpeasant This is so bad.

Glad he admits he is just paraphrasing and doesn't know anything, because then I can fact check that claim as true. It is quite obvious he doesn't know anything.

@matt_everhard @espinoza_dy Ahhh I didn’t realize that. I knew that’s how Presbyterians generally performed baptism. I didn’t know that immersion wasn’t really an option for them.

@stephen_hackett @espinoza_dy I know it sounds crazy to some, but we do actually believe - and it's in the WCF - that pouring/sprinkling is the proper method.

Are there any pastors in the URCNA, PCA, or OPC that will baptize teenagers by full immersion and no sprinkles?

@matt_everhard @espinoza_dy In Presbyterianism, do some churches do full immersion? Is that frowned upon at all?

@espinoza_dy We pour here, but I will use a LOT of water! 💧

@ConstCampbell @pjgurry This is going to be cool!

Coming soon… The Greek New Testament Study Bible a.co/d/0ivQrmIQ

@wagraham Just a matter of time, it seems to me.

@William_A_Ross So glad someone is finally taking on Walton.

This 2024 volume by the well-known scholar John Walton is one of the most flagrantly terrible books about the bible that I have ever read. ivpress.com/the-lost-world…

@matt_everhard How large of a denomination is the PCAGA?

Video is live now. Sorry for the delay.

Seminary students — If I put *θεέ* in front of you right now, could you parse it instantly? No notes. Take the Level 1 Biblical Greek Quiz and find out where your Greek actually stands: tutor.biblicalmastery.academy... Comment your score.

One of the rarest Bibles in existence today is known as the Complutensian Polyglot. It was a massive undertaking in Spain by Cardinal Jimenez de Cisneros. 600 six-volume sets were printed between 1514-1522. INTERESTING: Most people do not know that in this Polyglot, the whole Septuagint (LXX) text was printed for the very first time. The leaf below is extremely rare and is from the O.T. book of Joel. You can see the Greek Septuagint in the left column, followed by the Latin in the middle and the Hebrew on the right. Only around 120 of the original 600 have survived.

@LutheranSage @WesleyLHuff You’ll get new followers out of it. I’m following now.

Thank you. And no worries brother. I said earlier in a post that none of this was your fault at all and that your correction was correct and polite. That said I'm still getting comments about it this morning I'm waking up to. It's just the dynamics of an account with 160k followers and my little 2k one. I get it, but it doesn't make it less frustrating on my end as being a smaller account I am not used to the onslaught of negative comments I received yesterday so it was a shock. Especially when you were being polite. Anyway, I enjoy your YT content immensely. Keep up the great work. And I'm grateful for your engagement/correction on the post yesterday....just not everyone else's lol 🥴 Thanks Wes!

This place is something else. Wes Huff corrects an error in a post I made today, (which actually was just that I attached the wrong picture of a Greek fragment and my post was factually correct), and it gets 1,400 likes and 22,000 impressions. (And I am still getting dunked on by his fanatics in the comments!) I then corrected him in one of his posts (where he got an actual fact wrong ) and the post gets 3 likes and not a single person treats him as they did me. This place is miserable 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@wagraham I think it’s happening exponentially. I think 2030 is too far out.

@wagraham We will soon be assuming AI until proven real, I’m afraid.

@DBryanRhodes I don’t know you. But we experienced that a couple of years ago. I’m sorry and will send a prayer for you.

Today my wife and I joined the fellowship of those who have had a miscarriage. We grieve, but not without hope. We commend Nathaniel Paul Rhodes, 11 weeks & 4 days in the womb, to the arms of Jesus. Goodbye, son. One day I'll hear you laugh and sing, in the undying lands.

I asked my 4 year old about some things he wanted to do this year. “Pizza cookie” was one of those things.

I’m no longer OEC, but it seems objectively true that YEC represents the most conservative reading of Genesis. That doesn’t make other views liberal or untrustworthy by definition—but there is a spectrum within OEC itself. Some forms (e.g., theistic evolution that deny a historical Adam) represent a very different interpretive approach than others. My concern is about those trajectories, not about using YEC as a litmus test.

I agree—being non-YEC does not make someone liberal or untrustworthy. I’ve been OEC myself, and this isn’t a salvation issue. My concern is about interpretive trajectories and how Genesis is handled over time, not using YEC as a litmus test. There’s a spectrum here, and careful distinctions matter.

I am going to say this again because it needs to be said: if your proof that someone is liberal/untrustworthy relies heavily on "they are not young-earth," you are functioning from historical ignorance. Such a criterion would exclude Machen, Warfield, Spurgeon, etc.
