@Adminosaurus @schism There’s a major difference between churches and denominations that are right on the majors but sometimes wrong on the minors and the LDS who claim to be prophetically restoring back to the apostolic church but are wrong on the f...

@Adminosaurus @schism There is no perfect church. I have attended 6 different ones over my years and they spanned different denominations: Pentecostal, Baptist, Calvary Chapel, non-denominational, Reformed Church of America, Mennonite Brethren. The c...

@Adminosaurus @schism There’s zero record of any New Testament or early post-apostolic church performing proxy baptisms. Early writers like Tertullian and Chrysostom explicitly condemned the idea as a heretical misunderstanding of Paul’s words. They ...

@clementinetown @Toneskeee Being aligned in your beliefs to your spouse is very important. If my spouse was Roman Catholic or Orthodox (or not a Christian or even part of a cult group) I would not be going to the same church which would be confusing ...

@clementinetown @Toneskeee I’ve now gone to 6 different churches from Pentecostal, Calvary Chapel, non denominational, Baptist, Reformed Church of America, and Mennonite Brethren. They’ve all had their ups and downs and had issues. None of them were...

@jrdickens90 @Toneskeee If head means authority, why isn’t it used of any church

@jrdickens90 @Toneskeee Yes, the husband is the head of his wife just as Christ is the head of His church. My argument is not that this isn’t the case but that it doesn’t mean authority over—it means source. Adam flesh and bone what Eve was created f...

@ElifNull @smashbaals In Ro 11, Paul explicitly contrasts Israel and Gentiles throughout: “I am speaking to you who are Gentiles…” (Ro 11:13) “A partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in” (Ro 11:25) If...

@McMuffin11111 @smashbaals It says “will be” saved. The Zech 13:8-9 prophecy eve

@smashbaals Hm. So if “all Israel will be saved” does this mean the Church is not saved now? Is the church partially hardened? “For I do not want you, brothers and sisters, to be uninformed of this mystery… that a partial hardening has happened to I...

@ServusDeiVivi @BishopJaxi The early church certainly used the LXX, which contained both canonical and non-canonical Jewish writings, but using a text in worship or instruction didn’t automatically mean it was considered Scripture. Even Jewish commun...

@ServusDeiVivi @BishopJaxi Regional councils were influential, but not universally binding. Their authority extended only to their regions, not to the entire Church. The councils of Hippo and Carthage reflected the North African tradition, while the ...

@OlarJL @BishopJaxi No council ever promulgated a 66 book canon. The early church recognized the same 27 books of the NT we have today, but the OT canon was never dogmatically fixed until the Council of Trent in 1546, which added the deuterocanonical...

@ServusDeiVivi @BishopJaxi It’s true that regional councils such as Hippo (393 AD) and Carthage (397, 419 AD) affirmed a list of 73 books, matching what later became the Roman Catholic canon. But these were regional councils, not ecumenical ones. The...

@AntiWokeEvil @BishopJaxi The Council of Rome in 382 AD did not create the NT canon! It simply recognized what the Christian churches had already been using for centuries. The idea that the Catholic Church at Rome compiled the canon at that point is...

@SayvilleDavid @_Nosoup4you__ @annelikok @smashbaals Submit makes it sound like this is about hierarchy. Subject yourself to another is maybe better. You initiate it and the point is that you set aside satisfying your desires to serve the needs of so...

@SayvilleDavid @_Nosoup4you__ @annelikok @smashbaals The relationship between a husband and a wife and the use of head reflects how they are connected. Marriage is defined by the first marriage where Eve literally came from the flesh and bone of Adam...

@CS_Bodan @smashbaals No, head isn’t about authority or hierarchy but about source relationships. This is why a pastor or apostle or prophet or any kind of leader in the church is never called the head of anyone. It is only the husband to his wife. M...

@LizzieMarbach 1Pe 2:9-10 affirms the spiritual people of God made up of all believers. However, Ro 11, Ze 12-14, and Re 7 all describe God’s national restoration of Israel which is yet future. The Church is the spiritual continuation of God’s rede...

@JohnRayKite @TheLaurenChen As for 1Co 14:34-35, did you notice that since 1Co 7:1, Paul was responding to things they wrote in their prior letter to him? Do you think after encouraging all to participate by edifying each other that he then silences ...

@JohnRayKite @TheLaurenChen Paul writes a letter to Timothy with the stated purpose of having him remain in Ephesus to instruct certain people not to teach strange doctrines and you believe that somehow he also added to this the desire that half the ...
