Have you ever taken the time to study the book of Jude?
Through the month of May I took my church's adult bible class step-by-step, verse-by-verse through the book of Jude.
It was a wonderful class, and attendance grew each week! We even met an extra week at church just to keep
I had no idea that the Marvel Treasury Edition Spectacular Spider-Man
#1
had 40 different authors over a span of 1500 years while maintaining a single cohesive story of the redemption of man.
1. Zeus
2. He is fake and made up, and does not meet the standard of actually existing.
3. My God (Jesus) is real and not made up, and does meet my standard of actually existing.
4. ... See what?
It was the Jews.
And the Romans.
And you and me.
And Abraham.
And Moses.
And the Pope.
And Saint Peter.
And Adam.
And Eve.
And all those who ever lived.
Remember when we were told that removing Christianity (the last fairy tale) would make everyone a rational materialist and we'd finally achieve Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism?
Turns out people just go back to animism, ancestor worship, and pagan myths.

Jesus: no man is good.
Paul: no one is good, no not one.
Jeremiah: the heart is desperately wicked and above all things deceitful.
The Pope: mehh I mean... You know... People are basically good. We all have good hearts, you know?
This is actually incredibly dismissive of protestant, and specifically Baptist, missiology, and the major impact it's had on the way everyone does missions, including the Roman Catholics.
@IFFFMEISTER
When was Augustine or the Cappadocians, or even Jerome baptized? Infanthood or adulthood? How many of them were raised in Christian homes?
Guys,
I found some gold tablets in the woods written in a secret language.
Bad news:
We all have to start getting baptized for our dead relatives or we can't go to heaven.
Y'all, this has got me so mad on Easter morning.
"The hypothetical Q Source [...] contains no predictions of Jesus' death."
HOW D'YA KNOW, BRUV!?!? IT AINT EVEN A REAL DOCUMENT BRUV!?!? YOU'VE NOT GOT A COPY OF IT, DO YA BRUV!?!?
Cooper is just a master at counter-signaling and appealing to the "feminine" side of things (if you catch my drift).
I really don't know why this "ehm, I want a theorycel wife" is at all appealing....you really want to go home from a long day of academic work and then talk to
Have you guys ever read On The Jews and Their Lies?
The very first thing Luther condemns the Jews for is thinking that they are superior because of their race.
He points out that this is foolish thinking, that God doesn't consider our race, and that we are all sinners.
Calvinism teaches baptismal regeneration, but with 2 qualifications
1. the efficacy of baptism isn't tied to the moment it's administered
2. baptism only saves the elect
Met with LDS missionaries last night.
Really interesting language they used.
Said the atonement gave us the opportunity to gain the best God has for us.
When pressed, they said that we still have to keep the ordinances and laws of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ to get the
I'm not sure why, but today I just really felt overwhelmed, and thought about giving up on everything.
Dropping out of school, quitting my job, delisting the podcast, and just curling up under the blanket.
If you're going through that, please know it's just the devil.

My wife is so cute.
She did the dishes, but left the cast iron all dirty. When I asked her why she said, "I'm always so scared I'm going to ruin it!"
I said, "Baby, it's solid iron in the shape of a pan. You can't hurt it."
Then I showed her how it fits in the dishwasher.
Christ is the Head of the Church, Mary is the neck. All graces flow from the Head through the Neck to the body. Hence Mary is the Mediatrix of all actual graces.
I'm not just saying this, it is my honest experience: I have never, not once, met a single protestant that was convinced the RCC was the true church because of scripture.
Evangelical Converts: I was Catholic but I never read the bible. Then I became Protestant!
Catholic Converts: I was Protestant and I read too much of the Bible. So I became Catholic.
On TikTok I dared say Mormons aren't Christian and man the atheists who are coming after me for it are wild.
For weeks now people who don't even believe in God are coming at me like, "WHO ARE YOU TO GATEKEEP!?"
lmao
“The mass predates the Bible by 350 years. It was the mass that carried the faith for the first 3 centuries, before the canon of the Bible was even put together.”

Me, a Lutheran, am always having to explain to people "no I'm not one of those Nazi Lutherans nor am I one of those feminist lesbian Lutherans "
Ok I'm sorry, not to slam orthodoxy, but a ton of them are like, "LOOK! OUR CHURCH STILL HAS MIRACLES!"
Bro, the apostles were raising people from the dead, casting out demons, healing the blind, lame and sick.
This is, what? A wet picture?
I’ll be honest, the few things I am jealous of that other church bodies have:
- Orthodox: icon paintings
- Catholic: fancy furnishings
- Baptist:
- Anglican: Book of Common Prayer
- Methodist: emphasis on community
I’ll be honest, the few things I am jealous of that other church bodies have:
Orthodox: icon paintings (they’re beautiful)
Catholic: fancy furnishings
Anglican: Book of Common Prayer (nice to have a norm for worship and prayer)
Methodist: emphasis on community
And that’s about it
“I won’t share my husband because I know my worth” …
Translation: “I don’t think my husband is valuable enough that he could have extra capacity to lead and cover other sisters in Christ aside from me.” And “I desire to be worshipped by my husband, refusal to do so will end in
