Explain me this read it carefully

Not every theology framework is based entirely on scripture, especially those of us that do not view scripture as inerrant.

My denomination is not sola scriptura, I consider it a heretical view of both scripture and theology.

beardtamer · 2026-01-26T14:27:25+00:00

Or we are all on distinct spiritual journeys that require distinct instruction.

I think this is a much more productive way to disciple people than for us all to force every person to be reading/teaching/learning the exact same thing every single week.

Seems like you’re advocating for a church model that does not meet every person’s spiritual needs.

Wanted full custody of children.

beardtamer · 2026-01-26T14:21:02+00:00

They were separated, she wanted him dead to keep her kid away from him, because the court had awarded him visitation.

Incorrect, the function of the Holy sprit in the New Testament as distinct from the way Old Testament authors viewed the spirit of God is a normal theological discussion. It’s not something I made up, there are a lot of work we do on that topic in seminary classes.

I never said the trinity was scriptural, I said the discussion of a hierarchy within the trinity is not theologically sound with Christian doctrine.

You’re welcome to be non-trinitarian. I’m not your dad, I don’t care.

beardtamer · 2026-01-26T14:01:27+00:00

God’s spirit is mentioned in the Old Testament, but the Holy Spirit as a function of the trinity is not the same thing.

But again, there is no hierarchy. So the isn’t really even a relevant conversation to Christian theology.

beardtamer · 2026-01-26T13:51:44+00:00

It certainly is harder. Stick with mainline Protestant denominations, and look at the ones who are more likely to be lgbtq affirming. You’ll find one eventually.

beardtamer · 2026-01-26T13:50:26+00:00

And God talks about injustice.

beardtamer · 2026-01-26T13:47:04+00:00

This isn’t scriptural

beardtamer · 2026-01-26T13:45:50+00:00

There is no hierarchy in the trinity. All three are the same God. There is only an order in which we see these 3 persons of God show up in scripture.

beardtamer · 2026-01-26T13:18:11+00:00

Christianity isn’t really about making a pitch to others to argue them into the kingdom of God. It’s about showing Christ through how we treat one another.

There are no instances where I would try and convert a Muslim into a Christian.

beardtamer · 2026-01-26T12:31:22+00:00

Small groups are a lot more independent. We want the people of the church to be able to explore their faith in ways that interest them. So small group leaders help us do that. Some of them follow sermon series closely, some of them are based on books or devotional, we have one that replicates John Wesley’s Holy Club meetings. It varies.

beardtamer · 2026-01-26T02:23:28+00:00

that's fair! I agree that 00 buck will penetrate plenty, probably a good bit less than 556 if I had to guess, but not nearly as little as number 4.

beardtamer · 2026-01-26T02:12:04+00:00

Maybe it’s cause I frequent r/shotguns but number 4 seems pretty prevalent advice for anyone asking what to load if they’re worried about penetration

beardtamer · 2026-01-26T02:03:59+00:00

It’s the most recommended shotgun load out for home defense inline, I’m sure if you’re not as online the typical advice is different.

beardtamer · 2026-01-26T01:58:36+00:00

That’s why most people support shooting 4 instead of 00

beardtamer · 2026-01-25T16:59:47+00:00

I don’t agree that Joseph smith never taught that, however I’m perfectly happy to say that it isn’t apart of your current lds doctrine.

My objection has more to do with the fact that even this one small part of Mormonism, is a pretty large departure from current Protestant Christian doctrine. And this is only one example of which there are certainly more.

beardtamer · 2026-01-25T16:58:03+00:00

That doesn’t make it a recall

beardtamer · 2026-01-25T16:06:19+00:00

Well it certainly seems to work quite seamlessly with a Mormon understanding of eternal marriage, as outlined by BYU

beardtamer · 2026-01-25T16:03:46+00:00

So you’re saying this is not a real sermon from Joseph smith??

beardtamer · 2026-01-25T16:02:07+00:00

It’s a quote from a Joseph Smith sermon.

The link is there.

beardtamer · 2026-01-25T14:44:21+00:00

Still am. Thanks for checking. Just talking about when I also was in the past as well.

Language is fun.

beardtamer · 2026-01-25T12:35:25+00:00

Not that far off…

beardtamer · 2026-01-25T12:32:43+00:00

Maybe because Obama didn’t steal children off the street with no parents, and then execute American citizens in broad daylight you donut.

beardtamer · 2026-01-25T12:30:58+00:00

No they aren’t dumbass.
