@Matthew0390 @Wesleecraft @HwsEleutheroi Craig provided plenty of evidence in the debate that cultic imagery in the ancient world was not for decoration. It's not like nobody knows, this is publicly available information

[Catechumen Donkey Kong @dk_catechumen]

@Matthew0390 @Wesleecraft @HwsEleutheroi There's more evidence for that than any Apostle or successor to the Apostles having Protestant beliefs

@NiceanRick @Orthodox_Alfred @YouTube You are getting agitated, time to log off and stop attacking people because you can't defend yourself

[Catechumen Donkey Kong @dk_catechumen]

@NiceanRick @PhotiosOfGA Why make it personal? I was enjoying the discussion.

[Catechumen Donkey Kong @dk_catechumen]

I'm seeing goalposts shifting in real time.
"There wasn't Holy imagery pre-Nicea"
*Shows evidence there was*
"OK well they weren't venerated"
*Shows evidence they were*
"OK well it's not a Salvation issue"
*walk them through why refusing veneration presupposes heretical ideas*

@NiceanRick @PhotiosOfGA https://t.co/TY0X6UFnNT idk St. Iranaeus was really Orthodox Catholic

[Catechumen Donkey Kong @dk_catechumen]

@NiceanRick @PhotiosOfGA Considering the early church fathers agree with my interpretation and not yours, how do you know you're not importing modern Protestant concepts into an ancient text?

[Catechumen Donkey Kong @dk_catechumen]

@NiceanRick @PhotiosOfGA The earliest Bible teachers and preachers saw this as appealing to the apostolic deposit of faith handed down. Were they all mistaken?

[Catechumen Donkey Kong @dk_catechumen]

@NiceanRick @PhotiosOfGA Then why does the author make a distinction between oral tradition and the written word?

[Catechumen Donkey Kong @dk_catechumen]

@NiceanRick @PhotiosOfGA "therefore, x thing is obligatory and demanded by scripture” There is more than the just the Scriptures that are binding on you, and the Bible teaches this. 2 Thessalonians 2:15

[Catechumen Donkey Kong @dk_catechumen]

@NiceanRick @PhotiosOfGA It didn't, as I explained, Justin Martyr described liturgical worship that fits the pattern almost exactly. It was done this way from the very beginning in the Roman Catacombs.

[Catechumen Donkey Kong @dk_catechumen]

@NiceanRick @PhotiosOfGA Even if you reject the dating of that liturgy, the Didache and Justin Martyr describe structured liturgical worship in the exact same way. This is a known historical artifact you're denying the existence of. That "group" is the Christian Church founded by the Apostles.

[Catechumen Donkey Kong @dk_catechumen]

@NiceanRick @PhotiosOfGA Except here we have 1800 year old liturgies doing exactly that, we're they wrong?

[Catechumen Donkey Kong @dk_catechumen]

@NiceanRick @PhotiosOfGA https://t.co/ECf2RjLhTw this is the oldest known liturgy, circa 200 AD. That is EARLY early during the height of persecution before Nicea. Did they make this up because it sounds nice? Or was the form and pattern passed down through Holy Tradition?

@unusual_whales Lol

[Catechumen Donkey Kong @dk_catechumen]

@NiceanRick @PhotiosOfGA You're dodging the question, has God ever demanded a certain way to be worshipped?

[Catechumen Donkey Kong @dk_catechumen]

@NiceanRick @PhotiosOfGA They were told to worship God a certain way because God demands a certain way to be worshipped correct?
