@EddyEkofo Why should I as a Christian and not a Papist want to engage with Aquinas? Or any other Papist for that matter? Someone so fundamentally wrong on the gospel has nothing to offer.

@plainrunner2 There is good truly christian bonnet fiction out there, you just need to know where to look.

The only way this changes is outside the Christian publishing/producing market. I would also say that, by and large, the Protestant church simply does not know what to do with art - and almost doesn't see the point - unless it's worship music.

When I was a newly saved Christian teen in the 90s, I thought it would be great if we had Christian alternatives in genre fiction. When I walked into Christian book stores and went to the book section, you know what I found? Nothing but bonnet fiction. Amish romance. Oh sure we had left behind and Frank Peretti. Frank cranked out two bangers about spiritual warfare before decided he wanted to be Temu Christian Stephen King (because we don’t have enough of those). But never any fantasy. Never any sci-fi. Never any comic books. And it has stayed this way for decades to my immense disappointment.

@plainrunner2 Bonus, scifi and light horror all covered as well.

@BaptistBavinck @CalebMPowers Agreed, it was the major sticking point for me in the book. I was pleased to see the engineer that honored the Lord in it though. Not the norm for Weir.

@CalebMPowers The Martian has worse language, but is a better book, imo.
Weir is brilliant — but Project Hail Mary could be so much better if it didn’t give into the tired humanistic evolution trope.

@ColtonYarbro Preordered a copy, Green Pastures was great. Have high hopes for this one.

Let’s go!
Broken Wharfe@BrokenWharfe
Drawing from Scripture and the historic Reformed tradition, this concise and pastoral work unfolds the Supper as more than a memorial. It is a visible word, a covenant meal, and a means by which Christ nourishes his people by faith. Pre-order today ➡️ [brokenwharfe.com/product/a-cove…]

@BrokenWharfe Loved Green Pastures, looking forward to this one.

Anyone have the Moloch/abortion meme/cartoon with a woman sacrificing her child to have a career?
Thought I bookmarked it but can't find it.

@MitchellSheten1 I think it's funny that he uses Pilgrim's Progress as a name and pushes Baxter so heavily, considering Baxter's opinion of Bunyan.
English
How cute, just like Baxter! I love repeating history ❤️. Whenever you're ready to talk shop, Keach and I will be waiting for you lil bro :). 🫶🦋
The Pilgrim's Progress 🍇@ToCelestialCity
@MitchellSheten1 Very intelligent of you to ignore the qualification of the statement! Probably something you inherit from Keach.

I hear tell its Indie April...
Some readers have said "Travel By Star" is what you might get if Lord of the Rings met Lonesome Dove. That's a tall order, but I am thrilled at the comparisons.
For my part I will simply say adventure awaits the brave soul.
And love is never as far off as we think.
P.S. There are some pretty rad horses in here, too.

Whenever someone cites the narrative of the Ethiopian eunuch as warrant for baptism outside of the local church:

Can’t wait for this!!!

Super excited for this! Make sure you can join us!

You can tell who gets in the study of the Bible and theology for the good of their soul...
and who does it because they believe in their own intelligence and found a discipline which lets them display that...
English
@Thatbrian It's statements like this that cause me to rejoice in never being Presbyterian.
English
@EddyEkofo I'm guessing Judas was as well, hard to fathom him being one of the twelve without baptism.
English
Simon Magus was baptised yet not regenerated.
ZZZZZZIFFSTER@IFFFMEISTER
there isn't a single strong argument against the traditional doctrine of baptismal regeneration

@SteveMeisterVDM Cats are useless jerks that sit around and lick their own rears. Seems like an odd flex, must be a presby thing.

You’re welcome.

This was a good meme

A good local church is worth moving for.
A good local church is worth staying for.
A good local church is worth quitting a job.
A good local church is worth keeping a job.
The local church should be one of our primary deciding factors in life decisions. This brings blessing.

@EddyEkofo I am, I've seen Jeffrey Riddle mention it a few times and thought it would be an interesting read.

@JasonB1689 Are you considering reading it?
It’s down the line! Got other things for now.
