@dragodimitrov Premise 1. Yep
Premise 2. Ok
Premise 3. 2 Timothy 3:17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
English
Sola scriptura requires special pleading for its own validity.
Premise 1: If sola scriptura is true, every binding doctrine must be taught in Scripture, explicitly or by necessary consequence.
Premise 2: Sola scriptura is itself a binding doctrinal claim.
Premise 3: Sola scriptura is not taught in Scripture explicitly or by necessary consequence.
Conclusion: Therefore, sola scriptura is false.
Alternatively, if sola scriptura were true, it would be the singular exception for its own rule.
If you want to continue believing in sola scriptura, can you at least admit that you are presupposing it rather than deriving it?

@TomHicks2LCF Obsession with Aquinas does seem to end that way
1689 federalism provides robust immunity on the latter
The men that I have known personally who were lured away on that front were either obsessed with their children becoming Christians or didn't understand the 1689 view at all

@DavidAFrench You're mad about what Trump eats (McDonald's is unbefitting a president). You're mad about how many hours Trump sleeps (old people sleep more and he should step down)
You wanted us to fight until Trump fought.
You are a hater and nothing more.

We don't know the real terms of the ceasefire.
We don't know if it will last.
We do know that American forces were not ordered to commit a crime against humanity tonight -- an event that could break the military and trigger a constitutional crisis.
I'm relieved, but I'm also furious that he put the innocent people of Iran, our nation, and the world through one of the most senseless, anxious, and dangerous days in recent history.
And he might do it again.

Trump threatened evil with destruction and they backed down and David French wants you to join in performative pearl clutching.
Ironically, the CN camp agrees with him, although their formula for arriving there was utterly different.
It's like how leftists and Islam are friends

@DavidAFrench You aren't actually this dumb. You're just consumed with enough arrogance and hate to think everyone else is dumb enough to fall for your crap.

@HoldenCCole Those guys are in the Bible. How is it then the automatic conclusion that the papacy is biblical? There is literally no logical connection between those two things.
None of those men would've recognized such a title and would in fact have rejected it.

@VadeadIesum @sarahdunham23 This isn't a win for your argument. You also sing to/about Mary worshipfully 🤦🏼♂️
English
People who think Catholics worship Mary dont actually know what worship is

@thattradgal He also said I am the door.
Your wooden interpretation is not any kind of gotcha. It is repugnant not to Scripture alone, but also to common sense and reason, and has been, and is, the cause of manifold superstitions, and of gross idolatries.

He didn’t say;
“This represents my body.”
He didn’t say;
“This symbolizes my body.”
He said;
“This IS my body.”

What's he gonna be like the next time he comes? I mean, we've been told to look forward to his return, the Psalms speak of rejoicing over his return, and that return is exactly what you just complained about.
I have critiques of CN, but this is nonsense.

Today’s Christian Nationalists would prefer Jesus as the conquering warrior the Jews hoped for rather than the one who rode into Jerusalem on a donkey.

Today, in the United States, a group of Christians want a political savior. They advance the notion of “Christian Nationalism” and want some sort of so called Christian prince to lead us. They would turn Christ into a political project. That is the thing the crowd in Jerusalem wanted and did not get, so they went with Barabbas instead. Just last week, in Finland, two Christians were found guilty of crimes against humanity because, over a decade ago, they published a pamphlet on Biblical sexuality that, quoting scripture, mentioned homosexuality is a sin. The crime of which the Finnish court found them guilty was originally a war crime. Finland has a state church with the power to collect taxes. In Britain, the new female Archbishop of Canterbury spoke in favor of abortion rights in the House of Lords. Britain is a Christian nation. Nations co-opt churches. Christian nationalists look on the United States today and think it could not get worse with a national church, so we might as well have one. In this country, Christians are not going to jail for quoting scripture. In Nigeria, China, and elsewhere Christians are actually dying for professing Christ as Lord. In this country, too many people believe the gates of Hell will prevail against the Church unless they themselves lead the church into political power. Jesus Christ rejected the political enterprise of the church in Jerusalem and the crowd turned on him and the Romans executed him, declaring him the “King of the Jews.” He went in a tomb. For many historians who consider the execution of a Jewish carpenter in Jerusalem two thousand years ago a turning point for history, they stop there at the tomb. But the death of a carpenter would not have changed history had that carpenter not risen from the dead. Christ rose and will return. In the mean time, Christians need not eschew politics. Vote and participate. If you feel strongly, run for office. We should have more people with Christian convictions in office. But Christianity and the church are not political projects and, should they become political projects, the American church would wind up like the Finnish or the British churches — sclerotic, impotent institutions doing the will of a state hostile to the things of God. ewerickson.substack.com/p/barabbas-or-…

@GatorRob777 @BreeSolstad In almost every country the word for the holiday comes from "Passover". Only English and German celebrate it as Easter. Try again.
English
That's a good question. 1/3 of the world takes part on this pagan day called Ishtar that was renamed Easter. This day was celebrated 1000s of years before Christ
God says anything that's highly esteeemd is an abomination to Him. 1/3 of the world taking part in something shows it is esteemed and is not Godly.
"And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God." Luke 16:15
No New Testament wait ever took part in Easter and for that matter never celebrated a birthday or any day annually.
English
Does anyone know why reformed, calvinists, evangelicals, etc. all celebrate Easter?
The date of Easter is set by the Catholic Church.
Why would they follow a Church they call pagan, the harlot, the seat of the anti-Christ, and the synagogue of satan?
This really perplexes me.
English
@GatorRob777 @BreeSolstad Nope. This one is very debunked. Easter comes from the proto Germanic word for dawn.
English
@jjswickjr @BreeSolstad And in reality it had been the church's common practice in the West for over 200 years even when Nicea happened.
English
@BreeSolstad You are confused and don't understand Sola Scriptura. Rome does not set the date of Easter. It is set by a formula determined in 325 AD at the Council of Nicaea, very much a Christian council that Protestants see as part of the history and tradition of Christ's church.
