@MBurtwrites (1) Tozer is not only following modern Western scrupulosity. You’ll find it in the desert fathers, Origen, the Cappadocians, and all over the place.
(2) The way that marriage and family fit into that vision of faith is complex and I am not sure I’ve seen them united well yet.
@TheSaint1025 @CryBabyAubies The question isn’t legacy, it’s well do you want coaching the team in 2025. That answer is clearly Scheyer, I think. Especially with K continuing to grease the wheels in 1,000 ways institutionally, PR, boosters, etc.
@NathanielJolly @JesinZachs The doctrinal statement that you assented to later is not Nestorian.
As a matter of whether God is born, it should also be stated that the Son is eternally begotten of the Father.
@NathanielJolly @JesinZachs Your original position is Nestorian.
To say that Mary is the “God Bearer” is to say that she is the mother of God.
To say otherwise is to say that Jesus is not God when and divide the two natures that exist in the one person of Jesus.
Trying to grow bananas in Manhattan or San Francisco, even if Mr. Tally Man is stealing Americans’ good-paying banana-quant jobs."
Kevin Williamson's Wanderland newsletter is a national treasure.
"People working on Wall Street or in Silicon Valley run a trade deficit of right around 100 percent with the world’s banana producers, and do you know what they do not want to invest their marginal unit of labor doing? [1/2]
@JonahDispatch is The Dispatch working on anything related to the unprecedented public conflicts of interest that just Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s personal enterprises present for this administration?
It seems to be something dramatically under reported by conservatives.
Is negotiating with yourself about how long to warm food in the microwave a diagnosable mental disorder?
Asking for a friend.
40 seconds?
More.
50?
I don’t know if I’d go that far.
47?
This has gotten entirely ridiculous. Just do 48.
Ok. But only because there’s no 47.5.
Nestorius to Cyril: You're an Arian.
Cyril to Nestorius: I know you are but what am I?

@DylPar252@MateyYanakiev Nyssa’s great catechism might be more approachable than Augustine’s De Doctrina (especially in terms of length), and is primarily an offering of a really clear and comprehensive articulation of a different way of thinking about atonement than the “models” generally on offer.
@DavidAFrench I don’t know anything of the man or his character, but the word he begins clearly starts with an “m” not an “n” — he has commingled the pronunciation of “migrant” and “immigrant,” which is a very understandable mistake.
It’s nearly impossible to *prove* a negative, like “no migrants have ever eaten pets.” It’s much easier to say, “Is pet eating happening on a scale that requires a policy solution?”
Let’s grant the (absurd notion) that there is a problem at a scale that needs to be addressed by policy* because famished immigrants are eating people’s pets.
If you’re a Christian, you should be at least as concerned about the hungry person as you are about the pet and owner.
*what I mean is that we don’t change policy because one person steals or speeds or defends someone else. We enforce the laws we already have.
But when a lot of people die on the same stretch of road, we try find a way to try to stop that.
