@NeilShenvi Doug Wilson actually wrote a book (Rules for Reformers) in which he explicitly urged "Christians engaged in the culture war" to follow a version of Alinsky's strategy. (Disclaimer: I haven't read it.)

There's something evil about using "Love is in the air" as the tagline for a Valentine's Day push to sell merchandise.

@AugustineOfMA The Orthodox Study Bible—Saint Athanasius Academy Septuagint translation for the OT, and the NKJV for the NT. It's less than perfect, but serves the purpose well enough.

There's nothing like the Divine Liturgy. Glory to God.

@CarolinaChristn The same people who say this, say similar things about the Eucharist in Eastern Orthodox churches—so it sounds awfully familiar: "You're a bunch of heretical idolaters! And besides, you're schismatic, because you won't commune at my church and won't let me commune at yours!"

@testing521 It's an Evangelical/Reformed alternative to the broadly popular RSV. It used the RSV text as a base while changing certain controversial translation choices such as "young woman" in Isaiah 7:14 RSV (cf. "virgin" in the ESV as well as most pre-RSV English versions).

Linguistics question: What's the deal with the Latin plural noun form fīnīs, which alternates with fīnēs as the accusative of the always-plural noun fīnēs, meaning "territory" (cf. fīnis "end")? Do any other 3rd-declension nouns ever form their accusative plural with -īs?

@John_Barach @_feastofsteven @DrJordanBCooper It's only a rabbit trail if one has made a prior choice of your presuppositions as opposed to mine. Arians are excluded from the one Body for the same reason that Iconoclasts are: an Ecumenical Council judged that their teachings & practices are contrary to orthodox Christology.

@John_Barach @_feastofsteven @DrJordanBCooper It's true that the OP had to do with differences between Lutherans and Reformed. @MetzUAC1530 , as an Augsburg Catholic a.k.a. Lutheran, you liked this post I made. Would you care to comment about what John is saying here?
@John_Barach @MetzUAC1530 @DrJordanBCooper As long as we don't have a theology in common, we can't even give a common answer to the question, "Are we one?" Which demonstrates that the answer is "no." And there is deep grief in that acknowledgement.

@John_Barach @_feastofsteven @DrJordanBCooper The same church that excommunicated Arians at First Nicea, also excommunicated Iconoclasts at Second Nicea.

@John_Barach @_feastofsteven @DrJordanBCooper (NB: Sadly, the two Sees of Peter were divided at the Great Schism. Peter's 2nd see, Rome, went its own way with its western dependencies; meanwhile his 1st see, Antioch, stayed in communion with the remainder of the Apostolic churches—this is the Church that I belong to now.)

@IacobRuthenicus I tend to be pro-UOC, and Popovich sounds like a real Ukrainian patriot and Christian hero.
