@SouthernKeeks Christ wanting all of us to be one as He & the Father are one and going & making disciples of all nations for the sake of their salvation in Him isn’t gross.
@JennMGreenberg@catholiccom It’s not false piety to obey the Commandments of God. Jesus died for your father and loves him just as he did and does you.
@truthwins@heckyessica@BreeSolstad 1Chron16 shows joyful praise (halal), thanksgiving (todah/yadah)& music before the Ark
But Biblical worship (avodah/shachah) always required sacrifice, from Abel (Gen 4) to temple (Lev 1-7; Deut 12). Praise supports, never replaces it
Good praise is not full sacrificial worship
I honestly cannot think of a better representation of evangelicalism. Superficial, infantile, devoid of true imitation of Christ & His suffering. Christianity with training wheels that never come off.
@JosephAlbrigo@thesalosopher@Sola_Requiem@IndianaBrunner There wasn’t. This was the universal position for the entirety of Christian history until the 17th century. These guys think biblical theology started when they decided to pick up a Bible.
The perfect distilled summation of the discourse these last few days according to the Bee: Protestants know more about the Bible than St. Peter and the Apostles
