[Bugman Hegel @FedPoasting]

The idea that “anyone can come here and be an American” is purely a construct of the second half the 20th century. Attempting to expand this notion to entire historical expanse of the “American project,” is just a total and complete fictionalized reality. This is simply a matter of historical and legislative fact that is easily researchable by any individual capable of literacy and understanding chronological time.

[🇺🇸 The American Culturist 🇺🇸 @MericaCulture]

If America were simply an idea then other nations would be able to copy our blueprint and build their own nations.

But they can't, because America is not an idea, we are a unique people.

@RandYdnaR187 @OrthoBruno Like I was referring to - the Uncreated is by definition greater/higher than created distinctions. The metaphysical is not limited to or bound by the physical.

You're approaching the question from a limited, fundamentally materialist/naturalist paradigm.

[Ἰησοῦς @BetterCallBroom]

@RandYdnaR187 @OrthoBruno *Mankind* is crafted in the image of *The* one true God. That there are distinctions between races does not necessitate a separate divine creator for each group. A question of the relationship between "the created" and "the uncreated".

[Ἰησοῦς @BetterCallBroom]

@RandYdnaR187 @OrthoBruno "Religion is genetic"

Says who, you? Truth is not subjective or region-locked. Not to mention, "all nations" were always prophesied to enter into covenant with God, even in the OT/Israelite period.

The nerve of these parasites is just astonishing. Like a squatter breaking into/living in your house, with the audacity to be perplexed by your opposition

"Hello, guys, leftist here.

I disagree with the Christian teachings on abortion, marriage, sexual morality, gender, and, frankly, everything else.

Did you know you aren't Christian unless you agree with my specific interpretation of being kind to the poor and the stranger?"

[Ἰησοῦς @BetterCallBroom]

@name9374 @RealBenMichael @TonyMichaelX Ah yes, because your "Dense ass Mf😭" was so profound and insightful

Go be retarded elsewhere

[Ἰησοῦς @BetterCallBroom]

@epherius @DocDox_ @shelbystardust It's just a basic genetic fallacy they're making.

No materialist has any sense of these sorts of things. Fallacies, philosophy, logic/coherence, etc. They'd be disintegrated seconds into a formal debate of any kind, which is why they'd never bother lol

@SerotoninGoblin @ArtaConworlder Why would that be lol, he's right

[Ἰησοῦς @BetterCallBroom]

@ThomasBlaek @IkosFriendly "oxymoron" LOL

Not going to attempt to define what "the keys" actually are, then?

[Ἰησοῦς @BetterCallBroom]

@ThomasBlaek @IkosFriendly You still fail to grasp the "first among equals" honorific, evidently. His quote was more in response to the "ecumenical Patriarch" title of Constantinople, btw.

Define "the keys" in a sense that is distinct from the one that I've already described.

[Ἰησοῦς @BetterCallBroom]

@ThomasBlaek @IkosFriendly Wrong again, lol. That wasn't the understanding of the early Church, or even of Rome specifically during that period. "Muh keys" really is all you folks (think you) have lmao

St. Pope Gregory the Great:

[Ἰησοῦς @BetterCallBroom]

@ThomasBlaek @IkosFriendly "Just any successor"

Lol. Semantics games are fun huh

No, St. Peter was not "specifically given the keys". He was given the keys *first*. Hence the "first among equals" honorific that The early Church had on the subject. Need I cite the words of first-millennium popes here?

[Ἰησοῦς @BetterCallBroom]

@ThomasBlaek @IkosFriendly "The keys" are synonymous with "the power to bind and to loose, forgive sins, etc". This was absolutely given to all Apostles.

And yes - Bishops/Patriarchs ordained by St. Peter are, definitionally, his successors. That's how Apostolic Succession works.

Rome was one of five.

[Ἰησοῦς @BetterCallBroom]

@ThomasBlaek @IkosFriendly Not even to mention the fact that "the keys" were given to *all* Apostles, this is just question-begging nonsense.

Direct successors of St. Peter, to this day, exist in both Antioch and Alexandria. That he happened to be martyred in Rome does not grant Rome anything.
