Protestant Orthodoxy | Husband & Father

[Jake The Baptist ✝️ @protestantjake]

Protestant orthodoxy is summarized as this:

Protestant: Sola Scriptura is the most reliable way to encounter the fullness of God

Orthodoxy: To reject a casual familiarity of God. To take God seriously. To come before Him in worship with awe.

God is near — and He is majestic

@Manhattva You can’t be a Mormon and believe in objective evidence.

[Jake The Baptist ✝️ @protestantjake]

On the alien question:

It’s hubris and disingenuous to assert that God wouldn’t, God can’t or God didn’t.

“But it’s nowhere in the Bible!”

Proverbs 25:2 tell me reality is not fully self-evident.

I don’t believe God is constrained by the human imagination.

@FullSacralist @DannyDiaz97839 @BaptistBen316 I literally have a PhD in history

@Rultpwr To be fair, the leaders who know better are objectively evil.

Bryan Johnson will eventually, through rigorous exploration and testing, arrive at the correct experimental conclusion that Christ is the only path to defeating death

I've been praying the past few weeks. Unsure why.

There's good evidence behind prayer. It mimics breathwork, calming the nervous system, dropping cortisol, and quieting the brain. Daily prayers show lower depression, anxiety, and pain.

I'd like to develop a prayer practice. Growing up, the protocol was written for me. Explaining whom to pray to, the structure of the prayer, and the boundary conditions.

I don't really know how to pray now.

The Mormon church has always had to come up with new explanations because there is always new evidence coming out showing that it was made up by a cult leader who liked to marry teenage girls.

Unironically this is a biblically accurate rendition of worship

@DannyDiaz97839 @BaptistBen316 We literally have persevered the traditional closest to the apostolic foundation. This isn’t even debatable. Read a book, start with the Bible.

@DannyDiaz97839 @BaptistBen316 Protestants literally practice the most ancient Christian tradition.

@poperespecter1 They’re just fundraising for the next baptism

[Jake The Baptist ✝️ @protestantjake]

I’m a Protestant because I choose to practice of the most ancient form of the Christian tradition.

1) I believe the Gospel precedes later institutional developments

2) Scripture is the highest authority

3) Justification by faith is apostolic

Protestantism is an ancient tradition and most consistent to the church fathers.

[Jake The Baptist ✝️ @protestantjake]

Christians have an anthropocentric theology.

Where Earth is the main stage of the cosmic story and human salvation is the central drama of reality

This ultimately concludes that any intelligent life outside of humans is either angels or demons.

Though unintentionally, it limits the scope of Christ into something exclusively Earth-bound and human-scaled.

It appears more appropriate and accurate to maintain a Christo-centric theology.

Meaning Christ is the organizing principle of creation, the cosmos exists through Him and for Him, and humanity’s importance is derivative of that relationship (Colossians 1:16–17)

And on the question of non-human intelligence, should it exist, the Christocentric model can at least accommodate realities beyond humanity.

[Jake The Baptist ✝️ @protestantjake]

@ThoughtfulSaint I have concluded that this is untrue

[Jake The Baptist ✝️ @protestantjake]

As a Protestant, we do things as Jesus intended
