@MorganCook6451 @EcclesiaAntiqua Within the Reformed world, I've often heard it explained as the cessation of the "sign gifts", i.e. those related to delivering or authenticating public revelation.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

@bible_standard_ KJV (including the Apocrypha) with the translators introductions and footnotes. Almost impossible to find in print or online.

@Bounty get this kid a sponsorship deal

5-year-old sees commercial, begins chanting, "Buy Bounty! Buy Bounty!" I tell him our regular, cheap paper towels are fine, to which he replies, in great consternation, "Yes, but you could get more done with one wipe!"

@sincead33 And sorry in advance if I'm being dumb. I'm just a dude in OCIA. I'm not trying to be purposely dense or argumentative.

[William Wingate @wtwingate]

@sincead33 I agree that you cannot argue from the discernible qualities of Scripture to the fact of inspiration. You, Wagner, et al make that case very convincingly.

[William Wingate @wtwingate]

@sincead33 Yet, they are, in fact, the words of God, just as much as if he had spoken them directly from heaven. Yet one needs external testimony in order to provide a basis for the assent of faith and the other doesn't. I'm just trying to understand the principle here..

[William Wingate @wtwingate]

@sincead33 Thanks for the quick reply. I guess my difficulty is understanding how the words of Scripture are qualitatively different such that they require additional testimony. Clearly the mode is different, but both are the words of God himself.

[William Wingate @wtwingate]

@richsbrown3 @Breaking911 Agreed. I'd rather deal with the time changes than permanent DST.

@MusliuKastriot @CatholicPebble In other words, Jesus doesn't give a definition of neighbor. He rejects that question altogether. Instead, he gives the command, "go and do likewise" i.e. "go and be a neighbor to those in need"

[William Wingate @wtwingate]

@MusliuKastriot @CatholicPebble More than merely expanding the definition of neighbor, Jesus subverts the question. The scribe asked "who is my neighbor?" i.e. "what category of person do I need to love?" At the end Jesus asks, "And which of these three was a neighbor to the man who was in need?"

@metathomist Besides the fact that his example sentence is ridiculous. Any normal person would rightly respond "what does eating the in-flight meal have to do with anything?" The construction does not permit these kinds of irrelevant statements without sounding like a schizo

[William Wingate @wtwingate]

Truly shocked to see so many Protestants deny (contrary to their own historic confessions!) that Christ took his human nature from the substance of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

This is what happens when your theology boils down to, "If it sounds Catholic, it must be wrong!"

[William Wingate @wtwingate]

@LizzieMarbach All of the major Protestant confessions (Reformed, Lutheran, and Anglican) affirm that Christ took his human nature "from the substance of" the Blessed Virgin Mary, btw. His human nature wasn't created ex nihilo. He "got it" from Mary.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

@TheGreatB00ks Call of Cthulhu is a great introduction to his mythos, but my personal favorite is At the Mountains of Madness.
