@MorganLaidler Don't know. Whatever you guys did before burning down your churches and forests.

[Cal D @CalebDavisson1]

@ABC Awesome, wish I had been there.

@tyler_austin55 Divorcing the physical world from the spiritual world makes sense until you realize that Christ came to redeem it all. Christ's incarnation and physical resurrection makes him king of both heaven and earth, of souls and bodies.

@megha_lilly They were brought up with the gospel messages of John, Paul, George and Ringo.

@RandomLDS What a strange post. An American writes books in the 1800s filled with speculative theology and adds them to the Bible. But you're all up in arms about creedal statements from the ancient church.

@Protestia I'm trying to imagine the torture of having to sit through this cringy and patronizing montage of childish stereotypes.

[Cal D @CalebDavisson1]

@Kryptotajeer Jesus' followers worshiped him and he did not reject their worship. They recognized him as divine based upon his signs and the testimony of the prophets.

@SecretFire79 Same reason why Peter and the leaders of the early church could get married. It was a different church.

@LogosFunction @abi4560 @mike_skane I've always wondered if Luke interviewed Mary as he wrote his gospel. There seems to be some female perspective sprinkled throughout.

[Cal D @CalebDavisson1]

@abi4560 @mike_skane So some Jewish fishermen managed to construct Jesus' life and words to intricately reflect the Law and the prophets through multiple direct fulfillments, types and allusions. Then faked his resurrection, endured persecution, and convinced Jews and Gentiles to join in worship.

[Cal D @CalebDavisson1]

@abi4560 @LogosFunction @mike_skane You should know that God often works outside of cultural and legal norms. Jewish patriarchs like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ephraim and even King David were given primacy over their brothers despite the law of primogeniture. The fathers of Judaism were not legally qualified.

[Cal D @CalebDavisson1]

@abi4560 @LogosFunction @mike_skane As Joseph's son, Jesus was legally a part of the Davidic line and recognized as such. Scriptures such as Gen3:15 and Is7:14 anchors the Messianic hope in a woman and as such, the Messiah would not inherit the sins of his fathers.

[Cal D @CalebDavisson1]

@abi4560 @mike_skane Melchizedek, the offered son Isaac, the rejected and exalted Joseph, the prophet like Moses, bronze snake, Passover Lamb , Scapegoat, Elisha, David, Solomon, the Rock, Daniel's Son of Man, Cyrus, Servant of Isaiah 53, the priest Joshua. Not shadows, more like spotlights.

@CertainSpeaks What's the son of a duck?

[Cal D @CalebDavisson1]

@abi4560 @mike_skane Biblical prophecy often has intermediate fulfillment, especially in Isaiah. The sign for King Ahaz is also for the house of David, indicating something bigger and ultimate.

@JoelMCurzon Nice father's day post. But I guess fatherhood isn't exactly a hallmark of atheism. Must be rough holding onto a worldview that increases the likelihood of being a genetic dead end.

@BBLPERRY I was just thinking how it would be cool to have Australia as our fourth largest state.

@DennisBowden18 "Slain from the creation of the world." Eternally marked by death.

@OnyekaNaomi Evil is a lack.

[Cal D @CalebDavisson1]

@TomK_Brit1993 He has no internal moral compass. He has no way to defend anything as objectively good. He can't argue that anyone or anything has intrinsic value. He's a vacant man hallowed out by a materialist worldview. The issue is not psychological, it's spiritual.
