@Bill_Reddinger Lots of kids in Old Town! There is a park for toddlers in particular, the "tot lot"

In Christ, not only are we not totally depraved, we are dead to sin.

[Daniel Houck @DanielWHouck]

@jayshelt @DouthatNYT @austeni In the Thomist tradition, there are different uses of the word "evil" that complicate this discussion.

It is just to cause "natural evil" in some cases.

It is never just to cause the "moral evil" of sin.

Y'all know about this volume, right? Any day now.

@DriverXag @TexasPreacher Calvin does not even address the question of how many elders a particular church should have in what you’ve linked

[Daniel Houck @DanielWHouck]

@DriverXag @TexasPreacher I was genuinely curious if you had any Scriptural argument to support your strong claim that “It’s outright sinful for one man to lead as pastor.” Apparently, you do not.

[Daniel Houck @DanielWHouck]

@DriverXag @TexasPreacher Where in Scripture is it prescribed?

[Daniel Houck @DanielWHouck]

@DriverXag @TexasPreacher I have nothing against reading, and I am not asking about Calvin’s Institutes

[Daniel Houck @DanielWHouck]

@DriverXag @TexasPreacher Of course. I’m asking you where you find this command in Scripture. Many practices are exemplified in Scripture without being prescribed

[Daniel Houck @DanielWHouck]

@DriverXag @TexasPreacher Where in Scripture is it prescribed? I’m aware of the argument that it is exemplified in Scripture and therefore is a “best practice.” But it’s another thing to argue that it is a sin not to have a plurality.

[Daniel Houck @DanielWHouck]

@DriverXag @TexasPreacher That’s an interesting claim. Where is a plurality of elders prescribed, as opposed to exemplified?

[Daniel Houck @DanielWHouck]

@PlumberTadd @TerriGreenUSA It is not

Fun fact: St. Thomas was Italian, so "Summa theologiae" is actually just him saying "some theology."

@JLSteffaniak Thank you
