Anglo-Apostolic Christian

Traditional Anglican in the ACNA (REC). Enjoyer of Richard Hooker.

[Anglo-Apostolic Christian @AngloApostolic]

@AnneOfTheBooks Definitely Hooker’s Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity.

[Anglo-Apostolic Christian @AngloApostolic]

If a council of the world’s bishops from different provinces doesn’t have authority to bind their communion to a decision, then there was no authority in the early church or the ecumenical councils. This “loose communion” point is makes no sense, especially from a Presbyterian.

[Redeemed Zoomer @redeemed_zoomer]

@elimcgowan I think excommunication requires authority, which a lose communion of churches doesn't really have. Just in a technical sense.

[Justified Concordian🦬 @Just_apologist]

GAFCON is the real Anglicans.

[Anglo-Apostolic Christian @AngloApostolic]

I know he tries to contend with it in his video, but it comes off as ignorance. I have spent much time studying the English reformers and I think they would disagree with Zoomer as to the nature of the Anglican Communion.

[Anglo-Apostolic Christian @AngloApostolic]

“As has been the case from the very beginning, we have not left the Anglican Communion; we are the Anglican Communion.”

This is the claim that @redeemed_zoomer does not understand. It is the core of what we are doing, and it is an outflowing from classical Anglican ecclesiology.

[Anglo-Apostolic Christian @AngloApostolic]

@Young_Anglican I really like the 2019, especially the traditional language version.

I think there are some positives about the 1979, and the 2019 keeps those while purging most of the negatives. It is a solid prayer book.

[Anglo-Apostolic Christian @AngloApostolic]

@NiceanRick Can you clarify how this fits with your original reply? I think I pretty much agree with what you’re saying here.

[Anglo-Apostolic Christian @AngloApostolic]

Re-marriage.

[Anglo-Apostolic Christian @AngloApostolic]

@NiceanRick If anyone “divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, he makes her commit adultery.”

So if you believe she commits adultery twice if she remarries, but once if she doesn’t, then you do believe re-marriage is adultery?

[Anglo-Apostolic Christian @AngloApostolic]

@NiceanRick Why do you think she is committing adultery if you divorce your wife, if not due to her own re-marriage? Can any husband make his faithful wife an adulteress simply by divorcing her? In what way is she committing this sin?

[Anglo-Apostolic Christian @AngloApostolic]

@NiceanRick I will say that the original post should have been clearer about the exception I do believe in!

[Anglo-Apostolic Christian @AngloApostolic]

@NiceanRick 1) Yes, the original statement has rare exceptions, but is generally true.

2) Our Lord says that if you DIVORCE your wife, you make HER commit adultery because SHE has to remarry. Read the verse I posted again, it’s in Matthew 5.

[Anglo-Apostolic Christian @AngloApostolic]

@NiceanRick I agree with the point on the death of a spouse.

However, Christ’s teaching is clear. If you divorce a women and force her to re-marry (she would have to in ancient times), you force HER to commit adultery, UNLESS she already has committed it. Either way it’s adultery.

[Anglo-Apostolic Christian @AngloApostolic]

The traditional language 2019 is actually my favorite.

[Joe - Young Anglican ⚓️ @Young_Anglican]

I love the 2019 BCP actually

[Anglo-Apostolic Christian @AngloApostolic]

I legitimately know people who became Papalists just by reading the Bible cover to cover. I think this is because their Evangelical Dispensationalist backgrounds were so UN-Biblical that Papalism seemed to vindicate lots of passages in Scripture, which is fair.

[🌷 LIZZIE🌷 @farmingandJesus]

No one honestly reads the Bible and comes out a Roman Catholic.

cry about it. Abuse me. I do not care.

I told the truth.

[Anglo-Apostolic Christian @AngloApostolic]

@rmmcheyne1972 @AnneOfTheBooks Westminster was a product of English Puritans. Some Episcopalians (Anglicans) were invited but they were quickly dismissed. It was not made or accepted by Anglicans.

[Anglo-Apostolic Christian @AngloApostolic]

Anglicans should subscribe to the 39 articles.

[Anglo-Apostolic Christian @AngloApostolic]

@SeraphimOfTexas Scripture, the creeds, and the 1662 BCP.

[Anglo-Apostolic Christian @AngloApostolic]

@HarpazoDynamo Lexicons are extremely helpful! I heavily relied on them when I studied Baptism.

[Anglo-Apostolic Christian @AngloApostolic]

Sprinkling has far more Biblical evidence in its favor.

And yes, Paedobaptism is the clear teaching of Scripture. Even the inductive case for Credobaptism is poor.

[Anglo-Apostolic Christian @AngloApostolic]

@HarpazoDynamo I will also say that being fluent in Greek and familiar with the ancient texts doesn't consistently correlate to being a Baptist. My Latin professor has a doctorate in Grecko-Roman studies and is fluent in Greek, and also a convinced Lutheran. Language is not so clear cut.

[Anglo-Apostolic Christian @AngloApostolic]

@HarpazoDynamo I agree with the first point. This is why it is important to know that baptismos often refers to washing without full submersion in classical Greek literature, and that baptisma is used to describe something similar in the context of the NT.
