Mark of Christ ⚓️

All glory to Christ. My life is a vapor

[Mark of Christ ⚓️ @Mark_Of_Christ_]

@AsherJacob23060 @MateyYanakiev That’s a fairly modern view of it. Divorcing a wife in ancient times was just as much an effect upon the woman’s life.

Think of the chances of remarrying or even survival, depending on if she has family remaining and if they have the resources to support her.

@KennethGriswold @reformed_corner They should all confess the Apostles’, Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds. As well as all agree on the same fundamental canon of scripture

[Mark of Christ ⚓️ @Mark_Of_Christ_]

@KennethGriswold @reformed_corner To be fair, plenty of Catholics are not clear about what they’re trying to say about various doctrines. Even beliefs regarding the magisterium can vary.

[Mark of Christ ⚓️ @Mark_Of_Christ_]

@MateyYanakiev To clarify, looking at two people:

One fully acknowledges the truth of Christ and the gospel, but finds it scornful with nothing of value and abandons it.

The other is convinced of Islam and leaves the faith, fully believing that it is what God wants and it honors Him.

[Mark of Christ ⚓️ @Mark_Of_Christ_]

@MateyYanakiev I’ve been pondering this. The biggest question I haven’t explored yet is, does it need to be willful and knowing, or is ignorance sufficient to reach this category as well?

@Tishbite7085 The only thing that would top it is being French itself

@TacticoolOrtho @blessedmikko @lukarije You literally can’t have a homo romantic relationship with an animal. There’s nothing homo about that matchup. It’s hetero in all the wrong ways.

@rawakefield46 It’s not an outright bad translation. Maybe there are some that are preferable to it, but it’s an incredibly complicated topic

[Mark of Christ ⚓️ @Mark_Of_Christ_]

@XCkyro Rage bait works. People still talk about her after all this time. Seems to be an effective tactic

[Mark of Christ ⚓️ @Mark_Of_Christ_]

@OrthodoxChrist2 I see rage bait still works this far into 2026. Some things never change here

[Mark of Christ ⚓️ @Mark_Of_Christ_]

@PresbyPilgrim Didn’t you do this same one like a year ago?

[Mark of Christ ⚓️ @Mark_Of_Christ_]

@2018ztal @UntoldFortune Is there anything in the book of concord that opposes it?

[Mark of Christ ⚓️ @Mark_Of_Christ_]

@_BikiniBottoms @TheJayUNF @LutheranAnswers No. It was translated correctly. χείρ was translated to manus which refers to the same region of the body. It includes the hand and forearm.

Unfortunately we don’t have any common term in English which denotes the same region, so English translations use “hand”.

[Mark of Christ ⚓️ @Mark_Of_Christ_]

@EdOEwing1 @OpStCyprian Don’t quite agree with the wording, but the sentiment holds.

Nearly every aha moment I’ve ever seen was either connecting dots that a Christian before me had noticed, or else likely a heresy or false doctrine.

[Mark of Christ ⚓️ @Mark_Of_Christ_]

@PetGorilla Many things could be said in response to this, but would it even make a difference?

[Mark of Christ ⚓️ @Mark_Of_Christ_]

@AuronMacintyre We’re built to tolerate multiple missed opportunities before finally obtaining success. Unfortunately, gambling short circuits that by replacing missed opportunities with real losses, which doesn’t seem to register in the brains of many.

[Mark of Christ ⚓️ @Mark_Of_Christ_]

@TheOtherPaul2 I rebuke this teaching

[Mark of Christ ⚓️ @Mark_Of_Christ_]

@StayRight239 @logos_asarkos This specifically has been used regularly by James white, who I am no fan of. But it is a very strong passage, since the psalm it’s quoting invokes Yahweh directly, identifying Christ as that same God.

[Mark of Christ ⚓️ @Mark_Of_Christ_]

@MateyYanakiev Because the apostles were the ones who laid hands?

[Mark of Christ ⚓️ @Mark_Of_Christ_]

@reformed_corner I believe the presbyter leads worship in every service, right? He oversees the liturgy and all forms of worship in it.
