A Pre-Nicaean witness to the Trinity.
This is the Oxyrhynchus Hymn, dated to the late 200s AD. It is the earliest known Christian hymn manuscript with both lyrics and musical notation. A plain English rendering of the surviving words:
“Let all creation be silent.
Let the shining stars be still.
Let the rushing winds and rivers cease.
While we sing to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
let every power answer: Amen, amen.
Strength, praise, and glory forever to God,
the only giver of all good things. Amen, amen.”

I'm a multi-generation Tennessean, Nashvillian at that, and I'd never heard of "Nashville Hot Chicken" until I moved away. I mean, it's good, but it's hardly a "traditional" TN meal.

Younger evangelicals are much more supportive of same-sex marriage compared to older evangelicals.
It's ~25% among those born in the 1940s
It's ~50% among those born in the 2000s.
But on legalizing abortion?
Support is ~33% in every birth cohort.
Age has no impact.

Isn't this just standard Christianity?
Pretty sure mainstream doctrine is that you are closer to a brother Christian in Nigeria or the Phillipines than a Satanist here.

Narrative is not normative. Just because the Bible records it doesn’t mean it prescribes it.
Scripture does however prescribe one man and one woman in the covenant of marriage.
