@taco_talks If you split a heretic in two you don't have two heretics you have two half heretics that still add up to one heretic. The intelligence of my comment is proportional to the intelligence demonstrated in your post...
@BenMFreeman Yes, like many founders of new faiths Jesus transcended the faith He was born into and founded a new one whose followers eventually agreed to refer to as Christianity. What is your point?
@taco_talks Putting a disclaimer to cover your ass from the actual infraction you're about to commit and having sycophant bootlickers like Lee Foo kiss your ass for doing so doesn't make this a win for you...
@sola_chad "Pastor" Chad's counterargument to veneration is: "I'm wilfully retarded and so I choose to impose my inability to comprehend it on those that do."
@oliverburdick The Bible whose canon was selected by a council of Christian bishops at Carthage/Hippo has 73 books. The bible retconned by a bunch of 16th century heretics adherening to a Tanakh selected by a bunch of 2nd century anti-Christian jewish pharisees, has 66 books. You choose.
@brapppp_@hollowearthterf I made no such assumption. I covered both decent and indecent men in my original comment w/o any implication on ratios or percentages.
@sola_chad Where's the scripture of her sinning? Where's the scripture of her death? Where is the confirmed undisputed location of her tomb and/or place of death? 1st century Church knew exactly where Thomas and James died but not Mary? Weird.
@IndianaBrunner It's Jesus using an interruption as a moment to teach of the spiritual family that we observe as Christians to this day. There is no diminishment of Theotokos or His Adelphoi taking place here. Is it ignorance or general stupidity that makes you post in bad faith like this?
@sola_chad You're "Sola" and yet the directly quotable, completely unambiguous, zero interpretation needed scripture of James 5:16 has a confusing effect on you? Are you feeling ok? Did James hurt you yet again?
@taco_talks Just b/c you "divine determinism" types derive peace from the idea of God's meticulous providence doesn't mean it avoids portraying Him as the ultimate cause behind moral evil. It is incompatible with His holiness and tyrannical. Your not hearing your own words is what's sick.
