@owenthcarey When I was 5 I thought Abraham (as in "father Abraham had many sons, many sons had father Abraham") was referring to Abraham Lincoln

@Bas3dPhilosophy That's messed up they expect you to voluntarily get into the time out bucket without even so much as a request that you do so

@OzMarquezz From the Book of Concord: Nor is this eternal election or ordination of God to eternal life to be considered ... in such a bare manner as though it comprised nothing further ... than that God foresaw who and how many were to be saved, who and how many were to be damned.

@OzMarquezz What aspect do you believe is illogical? Maybe I can help clarify something. It's unconditional for sure but not in the Reformed sense. God induces faith by grace (unconditional), and the result is a freeing of our will - for good or for bad.

@LeeFoo9 Galatians 5:4, "you have fallen from grace"

1 Timothy 4:1, "some will depart from the faith"

Hebrews' "enlightenment" is very clearly salvation: "shared in the Holy Spirit", "restore them again to repentance". How do you define salvation otherwise?

@CertainSpeaks Jesus has a God over Him in the sense that someone who's self employed has a boss over them.

@Sacramentshow People were getting things wrong even while the apostles were alive. Most of the epistles were addressing this. Bishops are a good way of continuing to address it, though of course bishops can fall away too so it's clearly not a perfect system.

Protestants:

“You shouldn’t, and can’t logically conflate, evangelicals with confessional Protestants”

Caths:

“Yes you can”

Protestants:

“Why”

Caths:

“Because they.”

@evilsteveve Is there any good reason to label the green circle imagination rather than at least experience?

@IFFFMEISTER One clarification though, if I remember right most Protestant denominations assert the 66 book canon in their confessions such that the larger canon would be officially considered heterodox. Lutherans leave the question more open, though in practice the 66 books are used.
