@PlainSpokenPod I of course agree. Fellow GMC member here. I can’t help but thinking the current rebellion against New Testament Gender roles within church/ministry is participating in this same failure.

@libsoftiktok Turn the other cheek

@annielcrawford All my favorite authors quote Julian of Norwich :)

@Orthodavec Regardless of the over simplification. The objection to Christ being present in the bread and wine is ultimately a denial of incarnation.

@farmingandJesus Transubstantiation isn’t a changing of the “physical”. Maybe a quick google.

@annielcrawford I’ve had church leaders struggle for an answer here that would hold up for more than 10 seconds of scrutiny. We are terrible at catechizing a story that actually makes sense and synthesizes scripture.

@sola_chad Are bones healing people occultism?

@Jhicks212121 @riecker Trad Christians believe she was without personal sin and that she needed the reconciliation and work of Christ to participate in salvation. This is a false dichotomy.

@NathanBozeman2 @MateyYanakiev Do you believe the apostolic understanding of bishop/elder was related to priesthood of Israel?

This is CS Lewis argument against women priests. It’s not about the capability of women, but about the pattern of masculine and feminine as it relates to mediation/covering.

@gavinortlund Which church history? I feel like in these debates they center around the first 200 years where there are fewer primary sources and Christianity was obviously more diverse theologically. By 400 until the reformation it seems there is no hint of Protestantism. True?

[Chapman Fowler @ChapFowler]

@taco_talks Every denomination until baptists held to this idea. Not just those who hold to transubstantiation.

@oliverburdick You don’t ask people to pray for you?

[Chapman Fowler @ChapFowler]

@Truth_matters20 John 17?

[Chapman Fowler @ChapFowler]

@taco_talks The word pray means “ask” in English. Humans pray to to other living humans every time we “ask” for anything. Maybe read Shakespeare.

@LoganRamseySDG Ever heard of mother Theresa

@ProvisionistP What if god tells them because he loves his children praying together?

[Chapman Fowler @ChapFowler]

@CalebCantu69327 @PastorDeberny Origen and irenaeus say it was taught by the apostles. We have no reason to doubt the authenticity of the claim given they were directly connected to apostles or their students.

Paul says it’s the new circumcision.

The church that you trust for scriptures baptized infants.

@Toneskeee “Peter, what must we do to be saved?”

“Nothing, you already are!”

- Calvinist paraphrase of the New Testament

[Chapman Fowler @ChapFowler]

@GodlyAction But the apostles taught it.
