Civilization advances at the rate of its jokes and parables.

If it doesn't fit in a tweet, a person might understand it, but "people" don't.

@aureafidess @ThoughtfulSaint you take it as fait accompli that the pagan gods were bad.

"Why were they bad? <reason>. Oh, wow, do LDS believe that about Christ?"

[Jonathan-Strange-Era Daniel Bell @DanBell]

@grok @realbenbriggs @libraryofgodwin Ephesians 4:4 and Gen 1:26 at least *touch* on what you're going for, but are anything but a slam dunk. They'd just as easily support a united-in-purpose interpretation. (2/2)

[Jonathan-Strange-Era Daniel Bell @DanBell]

@grok @realbenbriggs @libraryofgodwin idk man. Matt 3:16-7, Matt 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14, and 1 Peter 1:2 all just...reference the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. They make zero gestures in the direction of them being one being or sharing ousia. Remember: we believe in three Persons and one God too! (1/2)

@Anthony_TeraHz @WwWilberforce do you guys not believe in planets lol

On reflection this is a worthy puzzle; more of you should think about how to explain it.

@Archimusik @IJustDoItForThe @justin_hart @j_arthur_bloom yeah and I'll freely admit LDS aren't Orthodox

[Jonathan-Strange-Era Daniel Bell @DanBell]

@KyleSeraphin @BSquared1670333 @PurestZinc "priesthood authority" is not a made-up concept. It's fundamental to the legitimacy claims of both the Catholic and Orthodox faiths. Anyone with a passing knowledge of either would know this.

[Jonathan-Strange-Era Daniel Bell @DanBell]

@Archimusik @IJustDoItForThe @justin_hart @j_arthur_bloom Oh are we sharing what our religions believe now

[Jonathan-Strange-Era Daniel Bell @DanBell]

@BrettWCain ok this is sick I'd never heard this

[Jonathan-Strange-Era Daniel Bell @DanBell]

@BenZeisloft keep your history. We want Christ

[Jonathan-Strange-Era Daniel Bell @DanBell]

@daschnauzer90 @extradeadjcb why not go to Islam? If I had to sum it up, from where I'm standing, it seems like Official Christianity worships Christ because He was God, whereas we worship God because He is Christ. *That* guy. We want more of *that*. (8/8)

[Jonathan-Strange-Era Daniel Bell @DanBell]

@daschnauzer90 @extradeadjcb slack: I don't believe most Niceans would worship the giant computer. But I think the *reason* they wouldn't is because they can't help but love Jesus of Nazareth(because He first loved them), and don't think too hard about the philosophy. After all, if you worship Power, (7/8)
