Theology 101: Them: “The Early Church Fathers taught X.” Me: “The who?” Them: “The Early Church Fathers.” Me: “All the church fathers?” Them: “Well, not all.” Me: “How many?” Them: “Well, some.” Me: “Which ones?” Them: “Well, Saint So-and So.” Me: “So one. And when did he live?” Them: “Like, around 400..” Me: “So not particularly early.” Them: “But a church father.” Me: “Okay. One late church father taught X. Fine. Did you know some earlier church fathers taught Y, and some others taught Z?”

Matt Walsh has been waging a war against sobriety for months. He’s tweeted that sober men are weak. He’s tweeted that sober men are feminine. Christian political influencers really aren’t “Christian.” They’re just political, and usually culture warriors for pseudo masculinity
Why is it healthy to use powerful psychotropic drugs to “help you function” but it’s not healthy to drink booze to calm your nerves at the end of the day? Please answer this question without simply asserting that the first is fine because doctors say so. If you need me to run through a list of hideously insane things doctors have said recently, and horrifically unhealthy things they have enthusiastically endorsed and prescribed, I can. Or you can skip the appeal to authority and provide a more compelling argument.

The Old Testament is necessary for the New Testament.

How will the elect be deceived? Because people like Dale Partridge are actively laying groundwork for the Antichrist. It’s not your social security. It’s not your iPhone. It’s not a microchip. The mark of the beast is— at minimum— allegiance to a false christ
If you wonder how men like Hitler and Franco came to power—it’s moments like these. When moderate men fail, extreme men rise. Somewhere in Spain is a young, intense Christian warlord waiting for his moment. I’m praying for him.

You cannot read the bible and come away as a cessationist. You have to be trained to be one. There is no scripture that, in the slightest, suggests the gifts of the Spirit have ceased to function at any point in history. God isn’t static. He is dynamic and continues to work thru those who believe.

With regard to "Judeo Christian": The 10 Commandments are Jewish. The great stories of the Old Testament are Jewish. The Jews developed the idea of subsidiarity as the alternative to tyranny and slavery. The Jews established the cultural preconditions for the rise of universal literacy. The fate of Israel at the hands of the Islamists is the fate of the West. This rising tide of anti-semitism sickens me. Those of you engaging in it for your oh-so-moral reasons—you're despicable. And remember, you proud "Christians" objecting in all your purity to the term: Christ Himself was a Jew.
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.

If you listen to what Spielberg actually says (as opposed to headlines), it's not unreasonable. He asks a pertinent question: Is our God the God of the entire universe or just our planet? Judaism and Christianity were born out of a strongly pagan time and place, where people worshiped gods of tribes and nations. Then along comes Judaism and says there's just one God, the Creator of Earth and the entire universe, which must have been a profound shock. Even more shocking, centuries later Jesus Christ, the Word - through whom the universe was created - enters our world to preach about the kingdom of heaven and how we are all intended to be brothers and sisters in Christ. No tribes, no nations in heaven. One kingdom ruled by Christ. God is OUR God. Our God created the entire universe. He is the God of the universe, not just of the people of Earth. What I find amusing, even in these dumbed-down and sensationalized headlines, is that anyone thinks Christians as a whole will question their faith if it turns out there's life elsewhere. As Christians, we believe in an eternal, uncreated transcendent Being who spoke the universe into existence; we believe God has the capacity to enter our world in the flesh; we believe that a powerful unseen enemy rules our planet; we believe in angels and demons, and heavenly messengers who show up on earth and whose appearance is so other-worldly and terrifying that they have to tell people not to be afraid. We believe people can be possessed by evil spirits. We believe people can die and be resurrected. We believe we'll go to an entirely different place beyond the universe after we die; we believe we'll get new bodies on a brand-new Earth in a renewed universe. Some people think we're crazy to believe all this outlandish stuff. They can think that if they want. But does anyone really think we're going to be dismayed by little green men from Alpha Centauri?

Anxiety was a way of life for many in the ancient pagan world. With so many gods and goddesses, all of them potentially out to get you for some offence you mightn’t even know about, you never knew whether something bad was waiting for you just round the corner. With the God who had now revealed himself in Jesus, there was no guarantee (as we’ve seen) against suffering, but there was the certainty that this God was ultimately in control and that he would always hear and answer prayers on any topic whatever. People sometimes say today that one shouldn’t bother God about trivial requests (fine weather for the church picnic; a parking space in a busy street); but, though of course our intercessions should normally focus on serious and major matters, we note that Paul says we should ask God about every area of life. If it matters to you, it matters to God. Prayer like that will mean that God’s peace – not a Stoic lack of concern, but a deep peace in the middle of life’s problems and storms – will keep guard around your heart and mind, like a squadron of soldiers looking after a treasure chest. -Philippians for Everyone

Ye shall know them by their fruit, and it looks like @dalepartridge deleted this so you couldn’t see how utterly rotted away his boughs are. The Christian podcast sphere (specifically the reformed, cessationist, KJV only-Christian nationalist crowd) is a satanic cesspool.

The church is experiencing revival, harvest, and a love for truth unparalleled in history. We surpass the 1st century church in every metric; new births, demonstration of the Spirit, sanctification, doctrinal unity. If you aren’t seeing that, you need a new circle of friends.

It’s a mental disorder at this point. White “Christian” nationalism is a mental disorder. I’m astounded be the idiocy. Doctrine of devils.
Abraham did not practice Judaism. He was an Old Testament Christian. Jesus: “Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day—he saw it and was glad.” John 8:56 Moses did not practice Judaism. He was an Old Testament Christian. Jesus: “For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me.” John 5:46 Christless Judaism has never led anyone to heaven. The Old Testament was Christianity concealed. The New Testament is Christianity revealed.

Again… “Christian nationalism” or whatever you want to call it is a CANCER on American churches. If your Jesus isn’t Jewish, your Jesus isn’t Jesus. If YHWH isn’t God , “Jesus” means nothing. If he isn’t Abraham and David’s son, you are dead in sin and trespass.
Jake Shields: “I don’t think the Bible ever says Mary is Jewish, does it?” Joel Webbon: “I….ummm….uhhh…. genealogies are very complicated.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Christians not permitted to joy or gloat over war. Jesus said nation rising against nation is the beginning of SORROWS. Christ laments war. Jesus loves Iranians. Jesus loves Israelis. Jesus loves Americans. Jesus sorrows over dead children. Jesus sorrows over dead soldiers.

Dale Partridge thinks “racist” is a scarecrow term. Dale Partridge thinks Paul was mistaken when he said a bishop must be held in high esteem by non-believers. Dale Partridge is a cancer on Christianity. Don’t be like Dale Partridge. These guys are tools of the Antichrist. 🤦🏻‍♂️
Republicans won’t save America. Conservatives won’t save America. Saving America will require a caliber of Christian men we have not seen in over a century. Men of such conviction that scarecrow terms like “racist,” “bigot,” or “misogynist” do not faze them. They will be men that most modern Christians will despise and reject. They will be like the prophets of old—misunderstood and reviled in their day but vindicated by history.

The notion that societal ills are the fault of: Women Jews Leftists Blacks Latinos Or literally ANYTHING other than sin, or that the solution is anything other than the gospel, is a damnable doctrine that now permeates Christianity. Partridge and his ilk are grifting parasites
Men have given women more freedom than any previous generation. What are the results? - Rampant immodesty - Plummeting marriage rates - Millions of abortions - Online whoredom - Record depression - Culturally paralyzing feminism Women must return to biblical male submission.

Babel = God Divided Man Pentecost = YE ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS Racial segregation is, by definition, unregenerate.

If you call yourself a Christian whilst espousing a belief in “separation of races” (e.g. denouncing interracial marriage) you and I don’t merely have a “difference of opinion.” You are an enemy of the church. You are accursed. You are preaching another gospel.

I’m not talking about churches who reluctantly and tearfully split during Jim Crow to appease societal pressure. I’m talking about so-called believers who say that God “separated the races at babel, so to mingle them is sin.” Or that interracial fellowship is “mixing kinds.”

Those who espouse racial separation, and dress it in Christian-sounding-language have allowed right-wingism to supplant Christ in their minds, hearts, and pulpits. You have no part with Pentecost if Pentecost has no part with you. Pentecost = YE ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS
