Repent and believe in the gospel

@FeserEdward There doesn't seem to be any attempt or discussion at converting the offenders, regardless of the outcome either.

@SheriffCoffee Keep coping

@glynis_coo83365 The argument that executing criminals is cruel and unusual punishment and unconstitutional is epically bad

[Mackerel Snapper @MackerelSnap]

@lepanto742 I understand this point but history is filled with governments letting violent criminals loose as a political tool. It's happening in Virginia right now.

[Mackerel Snapper @MackerelSnap]

@bluefirewake74 I think the ancients and medieval period had a vastly more coherent world view in general. Their vices and virtues both burned brighter. We live in a time of mass acedia where we just kind of accept the banality of evil.

@samensign43 You clearly have no idea who Tom Woods is

[Mackerel Snapper @MackerelSnap]

@fistofnicaea The arguments may be the same, but it's different thing to hold an opinion before it is settled by an ecumenical council. (I know Luther died just before Trent ended but we all know he would have rejected the ruling)

[Mackerel Snapper @MackerelSnap]

@SMPT799053 If you stretched this logic to only include the traditional Sadducees canon, the Torah, you would be missing most of the old testament and all of the new testament as sources of divine revelation.

[Mackerel Snapper @MackerelSnap]

@SMPT799053 I don't think this is the case because one of the explicit references for prayers for the dead comes from Maccabees. This gets rejected by Protestants for not being scripture all the time.

[Mackerel Snapper @MackerelSnap]

@fistofnicaea The canon is a way bigger issue for Luther given the ramifications of Sola Scriptura

[Mackerel Snapper @MackerelSnap]

@Nikkon2025 @AipChristian90 The Samhaim thing also has the problem that the original day for the Feast of All Saints was May 13th

[Mackerel Snapper @MackerelSnap]

@JoshuaTCharles I agree with the other comments that Carroll's history of Christendom is so good.

@GrZmNkY09 Doesn't even go to church 💀

[Mackerel Snapper @MackerelSnap]

@GrZmNkY09 It is a Bible based practice, you just don't like the interpretation. Do you go to Church on Sunday instead of Saturday? No where in the Bible does it command that worship to God should be moved from Saturday to Sunday. You are following the traditions of men, are you a heathen?

[Mackerel Snapper @MackerelSnap]

@GrZmNkY09 This is equivalent to saying that since you sing to God in church on Sunday as part of worship that you can't sing happy birthday to your dad. I wouldn't want any to mistake you for engaging in Egyptian paganism and worshipping a god-man like Pharaoh.

[Mackerel Snapper @MackerelSnap]

@GrZmNkY09 Yeah the mental gymnastics of all the oldest branches of Christianity

[Mackerel Snapper @MackerelSnap]

@GrZmNkY09 You are traveling outside the teachings of Jesus becasue you believe death separates you from Christ's body.

[Mackerel Snapper @MackerelSnap]

@GrZmNkY09 When Jesus healed the lame man at Bethsaida, he could have rebuked him for seeking the healing of the angel in the stirred up waters instead of God, but he must have forgotten.
