James Talarico: "Jesus never talks about abortion. The Bible is silent on abortion." Jesus also never mentioned fentanyl, child trafficking, or drunk driving. He spoke in moral categories. Abortion falls under murder—a category he did speak on.

I’ve seen quite a few Baptists defending the government promoting Christianity as the true religion. Which Christianity? Paula White’s? Popery? Federal Vision’s near popery? Anglicanism? Presbyterian? It’s definitely not Baptist.

@jholder76 Well said

@ReformedCaio @Modern1689 Especially when you consider how Baptists were treated by the State, historically. It's all so strange.

@Modern1689 What's wild to me is how many guys with "Particular Baptist" or "1689" in their bios are vehemently Christian Nationalist of the "We must have forced/coerced religious compliance" variety. It makes no sense at all.

A few reflections on the Civil Magistrate: The Congregationalists and Baptists intentionally omit the word “piety” from paragraph 2. The Savoy revises Westminster’s establishmentarian language, softening the magistrate’s direct responsibility over religion while still maintaining a national Christian framework. The Baptists go further still, removing the magistrate’s authority in ecclesiastical affairs altogether. They do so by stopping at the language Scripture uses and reflecting the lived experience of dissenters persecuted under state churches. The omission of “piety” reflects a growing distinction between the civil preservation of public order and the spiritual government belonging properly to Christ alone in His church alone. The Savoy’s revisions reveal the Independent’s concern to protect liberty for gathered churches while still envisioning a Christian commonwealth. The 1689’s deletions arise not merely from theology in abstraction, but from decades of imprisonment, fines, harassment, and exclusion suffered by Particular Baptists under religious uniformity laws. Where Westminster grants the magistrate authority to suppress heresy and call synods, the Baptists intentionally deny the civil sword any jurisdiction over the kingdom of Christ. The progression from Westminster to Savoy to the 1689 traces the movement from magisterial Protestantism toward a more explicit doctrine of liberty of conscience. The Baptists retained the magistrate as ordained by God for justice and peace, yet at least removed the explicit assertion that civil power is responsible for producing, preserving, or compelling true religion.

@blakecallens Why do people jump to lizard people? Why not ... oh, I don't know ... another human being under the mask?

Every Christian pastor, theologian and pundit who starts a podcast is deliberately competing for market share of an audience who is currently discussing whether or not lizard people are appearing on television with elaborate masks that don't extend past the neckline.

I cannot wait for Wesley Todd and @nxrstudios to post about how Friar Calvin Robinson was honored to be invited by "Pastor Paula White..." and then fawned all over her. "She is fighting the good fight!" Confusion abounds over there....

@EddyEkofo @TheJeffPutnam He might pull through.

@TheJeffPutnam Is he alright?

Of all the shit to find under a house…

@HilaireNereus Fake and gay, as some might say.

Christ isn't even King of the headliners' hair. Headcoverings for thee, flowing locks for me. 1 Cor 11:14 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him? Pretty gay.

@CodyLibolt He's allowed to change his mind. We should be grateful he has, and that he's not one of them.

It’s like Jon Harris doesn’t remember that he platformed and defended Joel Webbon, and he was part of Joel’s Trashworld event a year ago.

Interesting...

Christ saved me from my sins. He can save you, too.

@DPGBehler @5solas It's funny how the winds of X change direction so much. Now we're all supposed to hate Heiser. Tomorrow or a few days from now it'll be something new. It's all so tiresome...

Shoutout to @5solas.

This post is a lie. Documentable. Plain. Straight up. NONE of the people pictured believe in sola scriptura. Period. That is too obvious to even have to comment on. Shame on everyone lying about these things on social media.

Really disappointed in @haymes_joshua for participating in this. None of the others know better, but I feel like Joshua should.

@jwsherrod @Strangeland_Elf @haymes_joshua You're right. He always struck me as the more reasonable of the CN bunch. He's the ugly duckling of the group, but I mean that as a compliment.

@Strangeland_Elf @haymes_joshua For sure, but:

@willspencer @not_our_guy It did seem pretty unfair. I'm wary of Heiser and his divine council stuff but that's a far cry from being blatantly heretical like the rest of the people shown in the meme.

@MatthewHart1689 @not_our_guy I didn’t like Heiser’s work but this is an unfair list to put him on

If you're paying attention to Michael Heiser's work because of his beliefs regarding soteriology you're doing it wrong

@willspencer @not_our_guy Probably because of this image that's been circulating X. People are wondering why Heiser is put with the rest of these obvious false teachers.

@not_our_guy I’m late to this party. Why is everyone talking about Heiser?
