You are not just marrying a person, you are marrying whatever that person might become. Some people change through marriage and hardships substantially. Cultivate patience to prepare yourselves for the difficulty of loving someone different than you person you married.

Their church was closed for two years, then they were denied access without a mask and not aloud to sing or eat the Body of Christ, then they were denied entrance without passports. But we we “stole” them with “crazy”. Right. Who’s crazy?
Russell Moore: "All over the country...crazy has become a ⛪ growth strategy. Not so much reaching unbelievers but pulling believers out of churches."
Example: unnamed MI ⛪ where pastor (allegedly) said "Covid's a hoax and we're going to fight against masks + vaccine mandates."

If Gavin were saying “whatever the early church believes is true” you’d be right. But that’s not his argument. If someone says “belief X is universal & ancient” we have a right to say “No it’s an accretion and here is the evidence” regardless of whatever else we do/don’t believe

Bad exegesis. The entire chapter is a personification of Wisdom. To make it about Mary is the height of blasphemy. For example, this must also be true of her: "From the beginning, and before the world, was I created, and unto the world to come I shall not cease to be..."

Pretending the Reformed tradition taught that “baptism saves” in the same manner as either the Lutherans or the Roman Catholics is a cope. It’s just not true. It’s trying to anachronistically make them fit into the cool kids club.

When a Roman Catholic explains his view of justification, it’s almost never objected to like this: “So I can just discard God’s Law and live however I want to then?!”
When a Protestant explains his view of Justification, we almost always hear that very objection. Here’s the key:
How does God forgive sins while remaining just? Protestants do have an answer to this question, and it takes us into the heart of the gospel.

This is why I’ve always found James 2:24 as a strange shelter for R Catholics. It appears the plain, surface reading doesn’t support *either* of our views. Saying we are justified by infused grace is not the same thing as saying we are justified by faith and works.
STOP HOLDING TO HERETICAL VIEWS ON JUSTIFICATION TO OWN THE PROTS:
“The justice by which the sinner is justified through faith consists formally in the observance of the commandments; it is the justice of works.”

🧵 from Calvin rejecting Baptismal Regeneration from ICC, 4.15.2:

He held to Baptismal Regeneration, which you vehemently reject.
By the way, Calvin held to Baptismal Regeneration as well. So did Knox. So did literally all of the Reformers.

This demonstrates a common circular reasoning. If the church tells you who in history to take seriously, then it’s not the Fathers leading you to the Church but the Church leading you to the Fathers. You must then merely presuppose the true church, not discover it.

Paul, when explaining his view of justification heard the same objection that Protestants hear, the one that Roman Catholics never hear (Romans 3:31). So the objection ironically becomes an argument FOR our view of justification. Because if we are the ones hearing the same

Trent’s Papacy is easily one of the most antibiblical, ahistorical doctrines to ever creep into Christendom, and it’s the keystone doctrine of Rome. What about Catholicism are you finding appealing that can’t be found in sacramental traditions like Lutheranism or Anglicanism?

The best case for Catholicism is to just argue in a circle. It’s really easy to discern it’s the one true church if you begin with the assumption that it’s the one true church.
A major difficulty in discerning Catholicism is that it is so often presented as one of several Christian denominations instead of in its historical context as the Church from which the rest departed.
