I often reply to others, but don't reply to their replies.

Some have asked me - why? Don't you want to change minds?

To them, I ask - when is the last time someone ever changed their mind after an X debate?

I don't offer conversations, I offer refined perspectives.

@NeoAndTrinity_ @AL_J82 Sola Scriptura is not a biblical doctrine in the first place, it's self-refuting, so that argument holds no weight here. It is one pillar of a manmade religion that has elevated the scriptures in a disordered way in order to escape the earthly accountability Christ set in place.

[Thomas Stoops 🇻🇦☠️✝️ @realthomstoops]

@Sacramentshow Simply and charitably put, they believe in a lesser form of the faith. Legally, Christians. But they sit in an awkward place in relation to Christ, as it is difficult to truly love and follow Christ while harboring latent animosity towards His Mother because you hate Catholics.

@ViaMediaVoice An exercise in the futility of trying to reform that which God Himself established.

@PetGorilla You'll never get a straight answer to this question from a Mormon.

[Thomas Stoops 🇻🇦☠️✝️ @realthomstoops]

@r0chase @PetGorilla Name one. A single one.

@ZubyMusic I've always believed that "middle age" defines the 20-30 years that sit right in the middle of your lifespan. If you die at 60, your middle age started between 30-40. If you die at 100, your middle age was between 40-60.

@David_Kicinski Lmao no serious Christian theologian claims there's any absolute proof of God's existence. But every "atheist" I've ever met claims to have absolute proof of the contrary

[Thomas Stoops 🇻🇦☠️✝️ @realthomstoops]

@AL_J82 There is no love in your heart if you can speak of other Christians this way, and not be terrified of offending God.

[Thomas Stoops 🇻🇦☠️✝️ @realthomstoops]

Those who are generous to the poor, lend to the Lord.

And Our Lord never remains in debt to anyone.

[Thomas Stoops 🇻🇦☠️✝️ @realthomstoops]

@_Hehehehe_____ @Abunajohn And why do you think it is that Rome was allowed to flourish so rapidly, while the Orthodox were aggressively suppressed and essentially tortured for decades by multiple satanic regimes?

[Thomas Stoops 🇻🇦☠️✝️ @realthomstoops]

@Megamom1985 @Abunajohn The pride and vitriol oozes from your words.

Perhaps this is the kind of mentality that has kept so many lay Orthodox out of heaven.

[Thomas Stoops 🇻🇦☠️✝️ @realthomstoops]

@RealNoahSaraiva @Abunajohn What do you think this actually means? I guarantee you it doesn't actually mean what you intended it to.

[Thomas Stoops 🇻🇦☠️✝️ @realthomstoops]

@Abunajohn @Fred_Constantin I took the liberty of looking into your story and history within the Orthodox church. I find you to be a good example for all apostolic Christians to follow.

As for this person "Fred" saying foolish things about Irenaeos, if only you knew what actually happened. If only.

[Thomas Stoops 🇻🇦☠️✝️ @realthomstoops]

@PhotiosOfGA @Abunajohn This is a great example of the sin of public detraction. I am surprised that Fr. John did not choose to admonish you for this, being that you are under his authority as a publicly Orthodox Christian.

[Thomas Stoops 🇻🇦☠️✝️ @realthomstoops]

@BilltheCatGuy1 @Abunajohn You contradict yourself. He is either a saint, or no Christian is a saint, by your own logic.

[Thomas Stoops 🇻🇦☠️✝️ @realthomstoops]

@Abunajohn I imagine there must be Orthodox lay saints in the last 200 years, there has to be!

I am curious; is your position that it appears there are none, or is it that the Orthodox church at large has not pursued lay canonizations as aggressively as Rome?

[Thomas Stoops 🇻🇦☠️✝️ @realthomstoops]

@AugustusYizzard @countmaculad God does prefer the TLM, and if you disagree, you genuinely don't understand the substance of the differences between TLM and NO.

NO is a licit Mass, if done strictly according to V2. But it almost never is.

TLM allows no room for elective reinterpretation.

[Thomas Stoops 🇻🇦☠️✝️ @realthomstoops]

@JordanBVide0s @countmaculad You mock what you don't understand, and it's actually a condemnation of your own piety.

The "trads" you point and laugh at for prioritizing pleasing God over all else, and work to reunite lukewarm Catholics with Christ, experience a fear of God that you have yet to feel.

[Thomas Stoops 🇻🇦☠️✝️ @realthomstoops]

@BashlinCore @countmaculad What a patently un-Catholic thing to say.
