Tackling Tradition 95: Kat Boan Vs. Paul (On Baptism)

Image
One can’t help but notice she demands a prooftext without any exposition of the text.     Yet embedded in her own meme are 3 statements that are intended to inform us of what she believes the text to mean.   It (her prooftext) doesn’t say, “Christ sent me primarily to preach the Gospel. It does not say, “Baptism is important, just not the center of my ministry. It does not say, “Christ sent me to preach AND water baptize.” One the one hand, “I don’t need a paraphrase explaining what you think Paul meant,” yet on the other, she provides 3 statements that form either 3 short, one sentence  paragraphs or 3 short statements that form a single paragraph.   It’s obvious that she engages in the very behavior she herself eschews from any who dare challenge her.   Why should anyone take her seriously?     She’s just another tantruming child testing people’s alleged biblical/theological illiteracy/ignorance as if she is in possession of ...

Tackling Tradition 94: 2 John 10 & 11

Accordings to those who believe that baking the cake, attending the wedding, &tc     is a sin, does 2 John 10 - 11 teach that doing so is a sin?   4  I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as we were commanded by the Father.  5  And now I ask you, dear lady—not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we ihave had from the beginning—that we love one another.  6  And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it.  7  For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.  8  Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward.  9  Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, doe...

Nicene Subordination & Its Ethical Results

Image
  Adherents to the Nicene Creed will claim that God the Son is not inferior.     However, when you think about what the Creed actually says, the Son & Spirit are originate & derivative whereas Father is not, which, taken to its logical end, results in a hierarchical relationship between the Father & the Son as to the economic Trinity & when applied to ethics results in misogyny & all manner of equivalent prejudices. How so?  What is the purpose of the created order according to Romans 1:20?    To testify to the existence, INVISIBLE attributes of God, & to God’s authority.  Why is God’s wrath revealed from heaven?   Because people have (since the Fall) been deliberately suppressing the truth about God’s existence, INVISIBLE attributes, & authority by way of substituting the VISIBLE attributes of the created order, especially those of people & animals.  How did people in the ancient world wind up with i...

What Is He Thinking?!

From Military Times … The office will also align and issue policies on religious affairs for the secretary; represent him on all religious affairs matters in engagements with Congress, religious endorsing organizations, and external governmental departments; and realign the Armed Forces Chaplains Board and its executive director under the office’s authority for chaplain advisement. Notice that the office is intended to align & issue policies on religious affairs **for the secretary** & represent him (if **the secretary**) on all religious affairs matters in engagements with Congress. 1. The Director’s first priority is to represent GOD —-not the secretary — as to both his or her relationship & duties and in relation to Congress, particularly if the Director is a member of the ecclesiastical class.  2. As to the issuance of policies, if what MT’s description of the Director’s duties & responsibilities is accurate, then that means Pete Hegseth is the one from whom pol...
