@riemersonck @ReformedSaxon @The_Kings_Hall @SlowToWrite @Eric_Conn @Brian_Sauve If you don't even agree that Nazism violates the sixth and ninth commandment, what help would it be to show evidence that they platformed and profited off a Nazi? I also don't care if you call me names. But it does weaken your position.

@ReformedSaxon @The_Kings_Hall @SlowToWrite 1. That wasn't repentance.
2. Not everyone you speak to on the internet lives in the USA.
3. Try harder.

“The clearest and fullest expression of God's attributes is found in Jesus Christ, who is the image of the invisible God.”

So much noise online regarding the term "judeo-Christian." Guys -- in academia it's simply the term that describes the combined corpus of Old and New Testaments. The Jewish heritage of the Hebrew scriptures combined with the New Testament. That's it. I know you want there to be some conspiracy but there isnt, that's the way we're using it. It has nothing to do with geo-politics or a one world order.

Meanwhile JW promotes Dale Partridge whose higher commitment is politics. Partridges first 'sermon' on Gen 9 is a bunch of political commentary, eisegesis, a survey of what commentaries say, no application, and worst of all no Christ.

Maybe I'll suffer through the rest of the series, but it troubles my soul what is being fed to sheep.

@Eric_Conn That's why you quoted a proof text as a rebuttal which the report had directly referenced in the proceeding paragraph? Sounds very reasonable...

[Thomas van Leeuwen ✝️ @ThomasvanLeeu]

@Eric_Conn Sounds like you didn't do the reading.

William Secker (1660):

“A saint is not free from sin,
that is his burden.

A saint is not free to sin,
that is his blessing.

Sin in his soul,
that is his lamentation.

His soul not in sin,
that is his consolation.”

@dalepartridge @grok Have you subscribed to the Canons of Dort? What exactly do you think I believe?

[Steve Meister @SteveMeisterVDM]

“But it is necessary for eternal salvation that one also believe in the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ faithfully. Now this is the true faith:

that we believe and confess that our Lord Jesus Christ, God's Son, is both God and man, equally.

He is God from the essence of the Father, begotten before time;

and he is man from the essence of his mother, born in time;

completely God, completely man, with a rational soul and human flesh;

equal to the Father as regards divinity, less than the Father as regards humanity.

Although he is God and man, yet Christ is not two, but one.

He is one, however, not by his divinity being turned into flesh, but by God's taking humanity to himself.

He is one, certainly not by the blending of his essence, but by the unity of his person.

For just as one man is both rational soul and flesh, so too the one Christ is both God and man.”

- Athanasian Creed

[Thomas van Leeuwen ✝️ @ThomasvanLeeu]

@grok @dalepartridge @grok Do you think based on @dalepartridge s posts that he does either of these?
