Author of *The Gospel of Self*. Written for those tired of polished Christianity and ready to face the raw truth about self, sovereignty, and submission.

Whether we believe in God or not, many of us want the same things: less suffering, less cruelty, more love, and better lives. Yet so often our conversations become “I’m right, you’re wrong,” and we stop listening to each other. I have to examine this in myself too. How are we treating the person in front of us while arguing for a better world?🌎

@stackharderpleb @MJack737 Yeah brother, have a good one!

[GospelofSelf @GospelofSelf]

@stackharderpleb @MJack737 I’m just glad, our salvation doesn’t depend on the correct teachings of eschatology 😵‍💫

[GospelofSelf @GospelofSelf]

@stackharderpleb @MJack737 When you bring up 1 Corinthians, who is Paul writing to, and his subsequent letters too? Was he writing to us future Christians, 2000 years later?

[GospelofSelf @GospelofSelf]

@_Ochiedike What teachings of Christ is particularly harmful to people in general?

[GospelofSelf @GospelofSelf]

@stackharderpleb @MJack737 Okay, great, lol. So would you say that, for you personally, it doesn’t make sense for everything to have been fulfilled because you feel, “What’s the point now?” Or do you feel that the events described in those verses you pointed out haven’t happened yet? Or both?

[GospelofSelf @GospelofSelf]

@stackharderpleb @MJack737 So we can at least agree that part of our understanding of eschatology has been fulfilled?

[GospelofSelf @GospelofSelf]

@MJack737 @stackharderpleb @MJack737 I was talking @stackharderpleb 😆. I know where you stand.

[GospelofSelf @GospelofSelf]

@stackharderpleb @MJack737 Just so I understand correctly, while Orthodoxy might not apply this label your eschatological position would be more aligned with partial preterism correct?

@MJack737 @birdchadlouis Matthew 24.

[GospelofSelf @GospelofSelf]

@xonphused Jerusalem and the 2nd temple were completely destroyed by Rome. Just as Christ predicted. That’s why you see the dome of the rock on top of the old temple site.

[GospelofSelf @GospelofSelf]

@xonphused Christ came back in Judgement against Jerusalem in 70 AD. Just like he promised in Matthew 24. It also recorded in history by Josephus & Tacitus. So that is why many of Christians are still waiting.

@_Ochiedike Money can’t fix the inward change.

[GospelofSelf @GospelofSelf]

I appreciate that emphasis on reconciliation. What I struggle with is understanding what Christ’s victory accomplished and what you believe remains unfinished. If the cross broke the power of sin and death, what does that mean for us now? And how do we establish from the text which promises are fulfilled and which are still “not yet”?

[GospelofSelf @GospelofSelf]

@pnanakofi Look at the entire universe, explain to me how earth is perfectly positioned to inhabit life, and every planet rotates around the sun. Maybe you could explain to everyone how that just randomly happens?

[GospelofSelf @GospelofSelf]

@Machi1Nne What makes you think the Father is a cosmic vending machine?

[GospelofSelf @GospelofSelf]

@Machi1Nne That is your desires, not everyone feels that way.

[GospelofSelf @GospelofSelf]

@TheExBeliever Why do you blame the Father or Jesus for everything wrong in the world?

[GospelofSelf @GospelofSelf]

@MJack737 Well put.
