@_Theopolis Wow Peter is being so generous with dispensationalists here. Too bad they don’t reciprocate that with postmil and amil folks. At least in my experience

[Ryan70times7 @Ryan73459181]

@owenthcarey No. We know this from “solo scriptura” folks like the Plymouth brethren, “who, in their first decade, recapitulated many of the heresies of the early church.” (Robert Letham, Systematic Theology, 234)

I learned about this thanks to @millinerd !!!!

Happy Nativity of St. John the Baptist.

The Weimar Altarpiece, painted by Lucas Cranach the Elder & Younger in 1555.

It depicts St. John the Baptist pointing at the crucified Christ, alongside Martin Luther, who is holding the open Scriptures.

@_Theopolis @sandraglahn is it plausible that Paul is being sarcastic here?

And Pam Bondi represents the other side of the same materialist coin.
"Socialism and capitalism are both essentially materialist, just different ways of approaching the lifeless world of matter and deciding how to share the spoils.”

Most accusations of Marxism in American politics strike me as nonsense, but in this case, it's absolutely right.

Her idea that the foundations of the West — which have its roots in the Roman and Greek traditions, as well as the Judeo-Christian ethical tradition — are "thin" is either a profound symptom of ignorance, or willful dishonesty in the service of a political ideology. And the idea that we replace that tradition, that foundation for human dignity, for liberty, with something material and class-based — woof. It's like AOC has never read a single critique or analysis of the failure of the USSR or its proxies.

We need more Christian unity. I'm Catholic but here are some things I love in the other branches of the faith:

Orthodoxy: I love the tradition, especially the liturgy. The meditation, including hesychasm. Father Stephen de Young is brilliant and I've listened to most of his interviews - what a great Scriptural mind. I love Saint Seraphim of Sarov too.

Anglicanism: N.T. Wright and C.S. Lewis are some of the best Christian writers in the English language, ever. The abolition of the slave trade is a great achievement (this should be shared with Methodists, Evangelicals and other groups too). King James Bible is beautiful.

Lutherans: I love how they keep a high view of the Eucharist and try to constantly focus attention on Christ and His saving power. I like the emphasis on Biblical catechesis.

Calvinism: A serious intellectual tradition that, if you accept the initual premises, makes sense. Very clear doctrine and focus on rigorous education. Thomas Carlyle, a Scottish Presbyterian I believe, is one of the great writers of the 19th century.

Evangelical: The emphasis on sharing the Gospel as widely as possible is admirable and something we can learn from. In my experience, these people are always open and friendly, and they rightly focus heavily on studying the Bible.

If you go out and talk to people of a different denomination you will find that what we have in common is stronger than what divides us.

We are united in believing that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, affirming the Trinity, salvation by grace through faith and in the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

At a time when half of the Western world is fast becoming secular or Islamic it should be obvious we are on the same side.
