The way someone looks is generally a result of that person's behavior.
Obvious physical defects, naturally born or a result of an accident, shouldn't be subject to ridicule.
But fat faces? Tattoos? Totally fair game. It's mocking a behavior.
You seem very upset by this and I don’t understand. Surely if he wants to put up YouTube videos that’s fair, like authoring a book, and part of YouTube is creating very generic thumbnails that attract attention so people watch the video, you just need to relax a little bit my dude
If you're a pastor who's constantly using AI to make these clickbaity thumbnails of yourself, like you're Mr. Beast or something, and chasing the latest controversy all the time, how do you expect me to take you seriously as a thoughtful, mature Christian teacher?
Ben Sasse has always been honest, but facing a terminal diagnosis he has been unplugged. Last night, in exactly 13 seconds, he explained the real reason compulsory education ever started in America.
Catholics, consider this when making choices about education for your children.
Because worship is not about creating a mood or embodied experience to mystically encounter God as atomized individuals. Worship is the people of God encountering him through gathering together, praying together, listening together, singing together, eating together. It’s ordinary, organic, social, it doesn’t feel like it’s where God should be and that’s exactly why it’s where he is.
I don't really get the objections to this from other protestants. Incense in liturgy does have a biblical basis. And as for the size of this particular censer: if I were a medieval bishop and had to deal with thousands of stinky pilgrims every year...
Today, my wife and I formally consecrated our campaign to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.”
Ephesians 6:11
🚨 BREAKING 🚨
Rio Grande Presbytery has indefinitely suspended several ministers for unwholesome speech this week:
A partial list of the Disciplined Ministers with some of their speech crimes:
Jesus Christ:
“Brood of vipers”
“Dogs”
“Pigs”
“Whitewashed tombs”
“Dead branches”
The Apostle Paul:
-Suggested certain opponents should castrate themselves
-Expressed preference for his kinsmen according to the flesh
-Quoted anti-Cretan remarks with apparent approval
The Prophet Elijah:
-Employed scatological humor during public theological disputes
Martin Luther
-Racism
-Scatological and gastrointestinal humor
-General meanness
To fill these vacant ministerial positions, the Presbytery’s chief theological advisor will assume their duties.
His name has not yet been released.
Witnesses report, however, that he appears to be an angel of light.
P1: Protestants believe belief in Sola Fide is required to be saved
P2: St. Ignatius did not believe in Sola Fide
C: Protestants cannot affirm that St. Ignatius is saved
That's a pretty shitty thing for prots to say about a martyr who got fed to the lions
Not making a theological claim here, but I find it interesting that, in the New Testament there are 7 churches, 7 lamp stands belonging to those churches and you can boil down Protestants to 7 denominations based on their major theological beliefs.
